18 Best Bars near Mary Esther

“Great beer eh? Come out and support a local place.“

“Hell yeah I recommend them. I am here on business with a client and when I travel, like to sample local hole in the wall places. So I come in JCs and they serve their seafood cooked in a bag. They throw all kinda of seafood as well as corn potatoes and sausage. I had a half pound bad each of corn and sausage with egg as and rice and for those of you who know me and know I eat, this more than filled me. Be sure you come in wearing trashy clothes as they also throw various sauces in to the bag and steam and cook it. They give you a bib and wipes and you WILL need them Also, I was waited on by Jaime who gave awesome service. I hadn’t eaten at this type of restaurant before and she won’t make you feel like a goober for asking questions. Very courteous and professional. I am likely to be coming to Mary Esther each spring for several years to come. You can bet your sweet bippy I will be coming back when I do! It sounds like it’s a western panhandle chain but you would do wonders coming to DUUUVALLL!“

“We visited last summer, and stumbled on it by chance. We had a great time and ended up visiting multiple times during our vacay. Before we left the bartender knew my drink order! Friday nights get busy due to the military crowd, but we were there during peak season and had the best time. Cold drinks, not over priced, and not a tourist trap. We love the duck“

“Awesome hangout spot the whole family loves it“

“Simple place to relax and get a good drink. Bill, a bartender, always has a great conversation with you and makes the best vodka cranberry! They bring in awesome musical talent and keep the pool table well maintained!

Parking: Parking in the back and to the side of the building.“

“yes it was small but fun!“

“I visited Sammy's in Fort Walton just last night (6-17-24) and it was a blast. This is the first time i had ever been in this type of establishment and it exceeded my expectations. The service was amazing, the drinks werent very expensive and all the ladies were great on stage. It was a little slow when we got there around 10pm but it definitely picked up soon after that. Especially when Gabby got there and got on stage, her set was amazing and she was by far my favorite. So if you are in or around the area, be sure and stop in and ask for Gabrielle, you definitely wont be disappointed.“

Everything was fantastic, cooked to perfection and just so yummy. The staff was super, friendly and fun! Will definitely go back!“
