37 Best Cocktail Bars near Manalapan

“I was on a usual visit to my aunt when we decided finally to try out Eau Palm Beach for dinner. The experience exceeded all our expectations by miles. The property itself is gorgeous. It is grand, with grand service. Every single staffer on site was attentive, warm and intelligent. There was nothing fake about the hospitality - they truly cared. We had a perfect little dinner at their oceanside restaurant Breezes. We may go back tomorrow for dinner at their piano bar!“

“We had stuch a romantic amazing meal at Angle. My husband had a steak and I had the scallops. We also shared a pineapple upside down cake for dessert that was so delicious. Even the service was perfect. I can't wait to return. This will be one of our new favorite places for sure.“

“Was here on Cinco De Mayo for lunch and the food and service was amazing! The one issue I have is with the young blond at the door she was rude. Not sure I’ll be coming back because of it. People In the service industry should be happy and welcoming.“

“Let me just say that this experience was outstanding. The cocktails, the appetizers, entrees, and dessert were delectable. My absolute favorites were the grilled cheese and tomato bisque appetizer, and the chicken dish with gruyere risotto. Dada, we will be back!“

“Great spicy ground beef tacos. The guacamole was ON POINT! Very delicious. For 2 people, there are too many chips but the seasoning on those....YUMMY!For a drink, I had the red sangria w/o Grand Mariner liquor (Sorry for the spelling)...very delicious and fruity.Would definitely go back when I'm in Delray.Thank you!“

“Yet again, a great experience at Steel Tie! The Hazey Daze is MY absolute favorite, but the others in my group enjoyed the Cup O Joe, the Double Barrel Old Fashioned, the Roundhouse Mule, and the Vodkarita! Beautiful atmosphere, and the staff was great. Even wrapped my bottles so I can safely get them home to Virginia. Already looking forward to coming back to see y'all next time I'm in town!“

“Sunny South Florida spring is all about enjoying the outdoors and sharing a good meal with family and friends. Driftwood was the perfect place to do both. They have a nice beer, cocktail, and wine selection. One of my dinner companions chose the Copperpoint Bees Squeeze - a light beer, perfect for the warm breezy evening. To start, I really wanted to try the fried chicken oysters while others wanted to try to the beef empanada, so why not both? The chicken was moist, perfectly fried, and the mac & cheese spaetzle was out of this world, especially with the tang of the few pickle slices on the plate. The beef empanada really hit the spot - it was a great combination of the fried dough, succulent meat, and pickled onions. We had to order two, because one is too little to share between three people. In no time, our main entrees arrived by really knowledgeable and friendly staff. We couldn't keep our forks out of the others' dishes, because all were so different and delicious. The rigatoni had just the right amount of bite and every crevice of the pasta was covered in a delicious bolognese sauce and sharp cheese. The chicken and dumplings brought me back to growing up in Tennessee (except this dish was better!). You know how you get a plate of chicken and dumplings and there's never enough dumplings? Not this time. The dumplings were plenty, the chicken was moist and tender, the sauce was seasoned just right, and the celery and parsley leaves gave it a really bright flavor. And finally, the shrimp and grits was hearty with large shrimp well-cooked, smothered in a slightly spicy sauce. I could eat that plate for breakfast lunch and dinner... every day. We were all very happy with all aspects of our meal, and look forward to trying the dishes that we gawked at all night at other people's tables!“

“I was so impressed by everything! It was packed when we got there and we didn’t have a reservation and the sweetest, most attentive hostess took our name and said it would be a 30 minute wait. We were so excited that a few seats were open at the bar and said we would have cocktails while we waited. After we met our fabulous bartender Chris who created the most delicious perfect brunch cocktails we decided to stay at the bar and eat our brunch there. The food was INCREDIBLE! The atmosphere was so inviting and I can’t wait to go back!“

“Ate here virtually every meal while staying at the Colony. Breakfast was always good, servers were very well mannered and trained well. None of the fuax snobbery you get from some establishments. Just good service, good food and done right. It is the little things that set this apart. For example the salt and pepper shakers are little pineapples. The butter pats have the hotel's name on them, the bills come in the sea-grape-print-paper used everywhere. Mornings before breakfast? Find coffee at the bar, sit outside under a banyan tree and relax with a vairety of newspapers. It's hard to leave here!“

“So let me just say I Looovveee THIS PLACE. The armor is amazing. Wether you want to turn up anytime of day or just have a classy laid back brunch, it’s a guaranteed great time. All the food and drinks are great I haven’t had anything that I didn’t enjoy ! But what keeps me coming back every week are the mac and cheese bites. They are to die for ! Anyway try them out when u get a chance. K bye : )“

“J.P. is an amazing manager. He was attentive standing on the street greeting people as they passed by. We struck up a conversation and he got me a table with my long time friend Moe who I hadn't seen in forever. Moe catered to our every need and speaks fluent English and Spanish. He suggested great margaritas including the guava as well as watermelon. If you come to this location you will be in great hands with these two. Without a doubt the best late night happy hour from Delray to West Palm!“

“Was my first time at MIA was the best decision I ever made going there . My waitress name was Lori and it was a wonderful experience she made some great recommendations had the pork belly it was heaven the chef know what there doing definitely going back very soon. She was also patience and very Persuading when we order the starters“

“My dinner there was perfect! Everything just the way we wanted and our server, Natasha was super loving and caring for my table. She made sure we were always comfortable and satisfied with everything!10/10 would recommend and ask for Natasha as our server again!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Galley with some of my colleagues from Echo Fine Properties, and it was an excellent experience. Located in the Hilton at 600 Okeechobee Boulevard in West Palm Beach, this stylish restaurant is easy to find and offers plenty of parking. One of the best things about Galley is the outdoor dining area, which offers stunning views of the surrounding area. We were lucky enough to snag a table on the patio, and it was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious meal with my coworkers. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes from the menu, and here are five of the standout items: The avocado toast: This was a simple yet delicious dish that was made with fresh, creamy avocado and served on top of a thick slice of artisan bread. The tuna tartare: This was a fresh, flavorful dish that was served with crispy wonton chips and a spicy aioli. The blackened salmon: This was a hearty, flavorful dish that was cooked to perfection and served with a side of creamy grits. The shrimp scampi: This was a classic dish that was made with plump, juicy shrimp and served over a bed of creamy pasta. The chocolate mousse: This was a rich, indulgent dessert that was made with creamy chocolate and topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Overall, my experience at Galley was fantastic. The food was top-notch, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was chic and stylish. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal in a beautiful setting.“

“This place has an extensive menu along with a fantastic happy hour. Happy hours from 4:00 to 6:00 and from 9:00 to close I highly recommend this place the service is fantastic and the food is top quality The ambience is nice both indoor and outdoor seating available Their rolls are very creative and happy hour bottle beers are only $4“

“A totally unique and cozy place to be in Delray Beach. The food is delicious, the service is welcoming and awesome and the parking lot is in front of the restaurant. You don’t have to deal with the crowds on the Avenue nor do you need to use a parking garage! Just pull right up, park and have yourself a truly wonderful experience!!“

“I visited Sassafras during Sunfest on 05/04 and was greeted by the lovely hostess that was working between the hours of 6pm-7pm. She was very sweet and accommodating, I wish I could've gotten her name. I was sat outside with my 3 siblings and our waitress, Erin (my apologies if spelled wrong) was super sweet. I wanted to thank her again for the service and I wish her the best with her journey! The food and scenery was good as well. Only thing being, I wish there was a kids menu:( Overall, I will be returning!“

“Service and food were very good. We were there on an evening with live entertainment so the ambiance was improved by that. There were very few people in the dining room so there was very little "buzz."The restaurant, like the hotel, needs to do a better job promoting itself. There's not even a sign outside indicating that there's a restaurant on the premises.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible“

“Delicious dinner last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the duck confit and the Arctic Char special . It was our first time at LaGoulue and we were impressed with the excellent and friendly service. We look forward to returning!“

“Loved this place. Out of the main loud, busy area of Downtown Delray on a quite street. A nice change of pace. The decor in the place was very lovely, comfortable and well designed. The service and food were outstanding. The steaks are of a high end choice yet priced well. The lobster and salmon delicious. Would highly recommend.“

“The Sail Inn is Is by far the greatest sports bar in all of Delray Beach. There's no comparison to anyone else. Don't even try!. Bass and the staff are the finest people you will find. The atmosphere the food they offer on Sundays for football from Jim & other locals is great! You have to go there for the best sports & local experience you'll find.“

“My husband and I stopped at Margo's kitchen while driving to PSL....I was very impressed with food presentation and service provided. We LOVED the accra, and enjoyed the griot and tasso kabrit, overall, they exceeded my expectations. Lastly, resto and bathroom are very CLEAN, and the owner is very friendly and sweet. Great job!“

“Excellent "Pisco Sour" (you NEED to order this alcoholic beverage).. and both "cerviches" on the menu are tremendous, and if you order both, that is enough food for 2 people for dinner. It's at or near the top of Mexican restaurants! DON'T MISS IT IF YOUR IN THE AREA AND HUNGRY. Very authentic!!“

“LILO's is a family favorite that we recommend to locals and visitors alike. The staff is super friendly and take good care of their customers. The tacos are delicious - try as many as you can! But all the food is great so even non-taco fans can find a good dish.“

“A new delicious place you should try near City Place/The square. Harry's West Palm Beach is based on the original New York culinary dishes with a large indoor/outdoor dining area. The Chef, Joseph Mallol, has created an amazing veried menu that should satisfy anyones tast buds with a variety of amazing entrees. Maintaing its original New York roots while incorporating fresh ingredients from local farmers its definitely worth your time to experience. The Branzino fish is amazing.“

“I'll pay any amount of money for a drink at a cool cocktail bar, but this one didn't quite hit the mark for the price point they're asking. Drinks and service were great on the slow weeknight we went, but the atmosphere felt cheap and lacked the luxury an $18 cocktail should provide. Some small renovations or a couple dollars off the menu prices could easily make this a 5-star establishment“

“Celebrated a bachelorette party and Tin Roof was the most fun night of the weekend! From the wonderful communication with Melina during the planning process to the exceptional service from the staff all night long, the 11 of us had the most wonderful time. Awesome live music and fun atmosphere, would highly recommend for both a celebration or a casual night out“

“The quality of the food and service is always good. It's a beautiful place just have to know when to go as it can tend to get busy but one always feels like they have space. The bartenders are really terrific and their happy hour is a hidden gem.“

“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.“

“Atlantic Avenue is riddled with bars however 99% of them are “for the gram” and looks pretty lame… Atlantic Avenue Yacht Club looks and feels like an actual bar… (the sad thing is I think it’s affiliated somehow by the same lame bars next door…)“

“First time at this venue for Happy Hour. Cool place. We arrived a little early, and Mike the manager invited us in anyway!! Nice guy. Alexa the bartender was very attentive and sweet. We had the wontons, the tria, and the slider. Everything was delicious, but I would skip the slider next time. Very small for $5.00. Should be two or $3.00 for one. But overall great place, fun time.“

“Great place ? but even as local I didn’t know it exists. It’s hard to see from outside where is the door and is it open. Hidden. I passed it so many times before I finally decided to go check it out. People who work there are great. Atmosphere is nice. Food is phenomenal. Especially raw octopus ?. It’s number 9 on the menu. Bartenders always doing a great job. Definitely will come back often. Hamachi Halapenio is great dish also.“

“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!“

“Love this rooftop on top of Canopy Hilton!!! Review not based on food (have yet to try any of the food; but limited menu available). The rooftop is a hidden gem- never too packed with people. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and the doors are usually open, so it feels like one big space. You can sit at the bar inside or outside, as well as at tables or couches. Usually they have live music, and a very relaxed vibe with a pool and palm trees swaying in the wind. Cocktails are delicious- they make a great espresso martini (if you add Bailey's to it); all drinks are a little pricey. Beautiful views of the city of West Palm Beach, and the Breakers at night. Intracoastal can be seen in the distance, but mostly views of the city. Really enjoy the vibe of this rooftop!“

“Omg I can't say it loud enough how much I've grown to love this small family owned spot! I was set to get a fruit bowl next door during my lunch and noticed their Special sign and decided to give it a try. Well I'm so glad my stomach had a change otherwise I couldn't post a review about this Hidden Gem!! This place is family owned( no, not my family I'm just a foodie customer), super friendly mom, dad and son. They cater more to sea food menu but I am currently in love with their enchilada special as well as that homemade salsa that is fantastic. I mean it's so spicy but I can't help dumping the entire thing on my plate. I have seen others eating seafood plates and shrimp cocktails.. their food looked to be hearty and plentiful to me work the price. Stop in, give them a try be your own judge but I'm sure you won't be disappointed“

“This place is terrific. If you like a really tasty Ruben Sandwich, you've Hit the jack pot. They even have hot pastrami, excellent pickles. Really good wholesome food. Nice little bar and bistro.The chef is always trying new things. Truly worth the visit.Wheelchair accessibility: I'll be honest. Wheels are much easier, if handled outside. If you come at the right time of day you may be able to get a seat within.“

“I came here two times as a single diner/bar guest; first time with James taking care of me and he didn’t skip a beat whatsoever. He was incredibly kind, hospitable and professional. In my experience at most bars in this area, going solo is a way to get ignored or on the bottom of the priority list for “
