50 Best Cocktail Bars near Manalapan

“From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed—every detail, from the ambient lighting to the stylish decor, created a perfect balance of comfort and sophistication. Whether you're looking for a romantic evening or a relaxed dinner with friends, this place sets the mood just right. What truly set the experience apart, though, was the exceptional service. Every member of the staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about ensuring our evening was nothing short of perfect. Our server anticipated needs before we even asked, offered excellent recommendations, and made us feel like VIPs throughout the night. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, clearly crafted with care and quality ingredients. It's rare to find a spot where the service, ambiance, and cuisine all exceed expectations—but this gem nails it on every front. Highly recommend. We'll be back soon—and bringing friends!“

“Dined here while on our Honeymoon at Eau Palm Beach Resort. Very friendly staff and excellent food and service! Would come again . Dessert was amazing as well!“

“Rocco's on Clematis has nice ambience, good food and drink and TERRIBLE sound level. If you actually want to have any chance to speak with your fellow diners then sit outside. This could be remedied by turning the overly loud music down. The space creates enough sound without the full volume music.“

“Nice atmosphere, good food and drinks, but absolutely horrendous, and i mean, horrendous, service. Likely the worst ive had in south florida. I refuse to go back. Every step of the experience was painstakingly slow“

“Great music and atmosphere. Food is great!“

“Great venue, atmosphere, staff and cocktails. What's not to love? Highly recommended.“

“Im gonna come out and say it.. the place looks a bit sketch... but looks can be deceiving!! We went on a friday night late after work and they had karaoke night.. it was sooo much fun.. not a big crowd, just how i like it. AND THE BARTENDER CAN MAKE A DRINK!! Im mean they hit right away.. 10 stars for that!! Overall atmosphere was chill.“

“Hi Great bar! Gotta come back 🥂🥃“

“Very cool quirky vibe with nice outdoor seating sections. The cocktails are excellent, try the cucumber martini ... amazing.
Meatloaf is special and unlike others you have had before. Braised short ribs were super flavorful and tender.
Special menu for $45.00 including appetizer, entree and dessert -- delicious food choices and great value.

Parking: Easy access valet parking“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

“What a fun visit! Can’t beat the free tasting flight from the website. Both the white rum and vodka are smooth and sipable straight or on the rocks, so of course the spiced, black, and barrel aged spiced rum are too. If you’re a whiskey drinker, the barrel aged spiced rum in a cocktail is for you. The habanero vodka has good pepper heat, but not overpowering. Would be great in a Bloody Mary. All the staff we interacted with were fun and friendly!“

“Nice atmosphere, great staff ! Good oysters ! Great dessert . The charcuterie plate looked amazing“

“Good but not as good as we thought it would be. The margaritas were just ok. The spicy habanero was spicy but tasted watered down and not flavorful like a regular margarita. The chicken and pork tacos tasted like they were the same meat. The shrimp taco was delicious and the fish taco was really good too. Blake, our server was very nice and accommodating.“

“The First Class World Class Five Star Services- Colony Hotel Palm Beach. My 2nd Season in a row; will do it over and over again.“

“Hot new spot, great atmosphere, food, service, and drinks. Shout out to Nick, best server EVER,“

“My experience at MIA Kitchen was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Our server, Kayla, was amazing – super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. The highlight of the evening was meeting the head chef, Jason, who was so kind and surprised us with complimentary truffle on our entrees, which elevated the flavors even more. It was our first time dining here, and we will definitely be back! The PB & Foie Gras was easily our favorite dish – such a unique and delicious combination. Highly recommend!“

“Buon Appetito! “Savior the Flavor”. Campi most definitely lived up to the hype. We heard so much about the new restaurant around the way at the Ray Hotel in Pineapple Grove, downtown Delray, so we had to check it out and see what all of the fuss was about. Upon entering the chic, upscale, and aesthetically appealing establishment, we were greeted at the door by two extremely friendly and personable hostesses who immediately sat us at our table. Luckily we had the good fortune of meeting Luca, one of the GM’s, as we made our way to our seat, He graciously welcomed us with a round of sparkling Rose champagne. That set the tone and mood for the evening. A mini charcuterie board consisting of italian salami, chunks of freshly cut parmesan cheese, and an assortment of olives was served along with a basket of freshly baked, hot, bread. I highly recommend dipping the bread and other items in the flavorful olive oil. Our waiter Sebastian was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the menu and made a few recommendations that were home-runs! We started with the caesar salad which was one of the best I’ve had in a while. The lettuce was cool and crisp with the perfect hint of anchovies topped with the right amount of freshly shaved parmesiana cheese. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the sweet roasted mini tomatoes which were the perfect complement. Next up we had their lasagna which is the talk of the town. It was served as pinwheels, which was unique, and the homestyle sauce, meat, and other ingredients were so flavorful. It did not disappoint. We took a few minutes to digest and then it was time for the main courses. My wife ordered the pistachio crusted salmon with pesto and our guest JB and I shared the chicken parmesan and short rib agnolotti with fresh horseradish and crispy garlic. Each and every entree was perfectly prepared and presented, and they even split the portions for us. The showstopper was definitely the agnolotti!! After dipping multiple pieces of bread in the various sauces, I finally had to wave the white napkin and surrender. Unfortunately, we had zero room for desert but promised to indulge during our next visit. We will definitely be back! It was truly a special night at this exceptional, fairly new, player to the Delray scene. Lastly, Campi certainly lived up to the reputation of its family restaurant, Campagnola (on the Upper wast side of Manhattan). We cant wait for our next meal at Campi!!

“Awesome Event last night. Function Room is great for a private event. Realtor Michael Skovron PA 954.303.6060“

“The hostess was incredibly kind and friendly and the vibe is so so good. Food was delicious and the drinks were top notch. Honestly, a great wine bar AND the cocktails were very delicious and artistic. Unfortunately, our service wasn’t fantastic, which was disappointing. It was made worse when the server argued about why he only received an 18% tip and when we explained, he continued to argue with us. Nevertheless, this is a great spot despite our 1 server.“

“One of my newest favorite restaurants. Great service, food and drink. It will be a frequent stop for us.“

“As soon as I walked in with my son, the lady at the register offered my son and me a seat to seat down cause I wanted to see Margo myself! She's a humble, down to earth and gentle soul lady and she is amazing. Aside from that I got my food OMG the rice was well done everything tasted good and in the end she offered me lemonade on the house! Great Customer Service 💯✅ I ordered 4 Plates of Turkeys in Sauce and 1 Plate of Turkey fried and a Large Snapper Fish for my father! I ❤ everything about this visit and will definitely come back 😋“

“Great service and great food.“

“Tonigth we arrived early for dinner, but the manager (Benjamin) made sure we were seated outside in the patio. He took the time to make sure we were comfortable by bringing in a large umbrella by himself. When a manager of an exclusive restaurant like Harry's goes out of his way, it certainly says something special. Oh yes... the food and drinks at Harry's is fantastic. 5 stars for sure! It is the best restaurant in downtown West Palm Beach!“

“Wow. What a fantastic meal. Excellent service, amazing food. I’m super happy. The heirloom grits are out of this world.“

“Bartenders are great and super fast, good happy hour menu and drinks were amazing.“

“Great view, great food, a must return experience“

“Had dinner with family and friends on Thursday night. Beautiful restaurant with an amazing view of the ocean. Our waiter Sergio was attentive and extremely knowledgeable from the history of the property to everything on the menu. The food was absolutely amazing!! Can't wait to go back!!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at this boutique steakhouse in Delray Beach. The steaks and cream spinach were amazing. The dinner was enhanced by the wonderful service of Anthony. Atmosphere is wonderful with great music and real candles on the table. Would definitely return.“

“Really great spot! We went for happy hour with our baby and just had appetizers and drinks and they were wonderful and accommodating. We will definitely be back again very soon😊“

“We love this restaurant! We have been a few times and it's always been a great experience. We had the tuna carpaccio appetizer which we both loved. Then we had the trout with almond butter sauce and the Dover Sole. Everything was perfect including the service. We will be back!“

“Yummy food. Yummy Drinks.“

“First time going and it was not bad. They had a musician there and she was very good. I couldn't hear much of her due to the table across from me talked a lot and loudly when there were barely anyone in the restaurant. Wait staff were nice and I went on a day where they only had one chef, which I understood. They provided us with a complimentary mimosa for the wait being so long. The food was not bad. I ordered the truffle flatbread, the only thing I did not like about it was the honey drizzle on it. My friend ordered the Lobster Benedict but one of the items that was supposed to be on it, they did not have. The waitress apologized and provided a discount which I don't think was needed but it was appreciated.“

“The food and the service were excellent“

“LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE it here!!! The food is delicious. Atmosphere is so intimate yet still super close basically right on the Ave. Their sushi variety is great and they have other stuff and yummy drinks with a cool smoke bubble! They also have cool events like calligraphy class and fun stuff going on all the time.

Vegetarian options: Free parking right out front if you're lucky! Parking around the side is good too.“

“We had a reservation (which seems necessary to avoid wait time). None of the hostesses (5 or maybe 6? of them) greeted our party. And then we were given a tragic little booth back by a prep area (aka, smelly and warm corner). I went back to the hostess stand and requested a new table. After much deliberation, the hostess team was able to accomodate the request (there were lots of open tables at this time). Food was good (prosciutto, calamari, various pastas, chicken). Service was fine. As far as ambiance, it's kind of rustic, pretty noisy (hard to have a conversation), and they could crank up the a/c a bit (it was warm everywhere, but especially at the edges of the restaurant and at the back). Plan ahead for parking. Either go for pricier valet or a short walk from Arts garage ($5). Download the PatkMobile app so youre not standing in line at kiosk. Lots of construction and detours on the Ave presently (spring '25). Overall a nice meal (many thanks to the kitchen staff) but the front of the house would benefit from training. The hostesses' "I'm-better-than-you" attitude is not cute.“

“Avalon is a must! Beautiful atmosphere and the bar manager was awesome! 🥂🥂“

“Beautiful resort with, great customer service“

“Best bartender EVER! JAIME is the best!!
Waiting for our flight to Boston, our flight was delayed. We asked her to change the TV so we could watch the Celtics playoff game. She said sure with mo hesitation! We asked if Blu2O had food, she replied, no, but if you want to bring food, I am 100% ok with that.
We were so pleased and grateful and Jaime accommodated all the other passengers who were delayed too!!“

“Amazing place to hangout!“

“Atlantic Avenue Yacht Club is more than just a dive bar; it’s a community. The welcoming atmosphere, great drinks, and fantastic service from Orville (Niles) create an experience that keeps me coming back time and time again. Whether you're looking to catch up with friends, enjoy live music, or simply relax after a long day, this bar has got you covered. I can't recommend it enough—make sure to ask for Niles on your next visit!

Vegetarian options: There is grass and water for vegetarians“

“One of the best restaurants in CT! The food, drinks, atmosphere is awesome! Great concept to bring down south, no restaurant like it. No it's not Mexican food. Ignore the one star review by the first person. The restaurant is not even started construction yet. Welcome to Florida!“

“Sugeriría obtengan licencia para ofrecer licor, por ejemplo un Pisco Sour!“

“I was there on Saturday with a large group and the food and service were excellent. Our server Jackie was the best!!! I will definitely be back 😊“

“Pass on this overpriced local dive. Food was horrible and took forever. If you want to get a quality meal go to a quality restaurant not a dive that charges high end restaurant prices.“

“Try the new hangar steak sandwich with a side of onion rings! INCREDIBLE! My first experience today with my dear friend Don. Will definitely be back! Best lemon drop martini too! Thanks!“

“hoy Lunes tienen un especial de taco quesadilla con birria muy rico la verdad“

“Outstanding Experience Great Ambience!“

“Been here several times....Best to get a reservation for the high-top tables so you can take advantage of happy hour from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. Chicken parm is great, spaghetti carbonate is excellent, cocktails are awesome. One small request: please provide garlic bread with meals. Again, love this place!“

“such a vibe there service on point“
