50 Best Bars near Ponce Inlet

“The Lobster Mac n cheese grilled cheese was excellent tonight! Would highly recommend it!!“

“Since I live in Ponce Inlet, I've been to Down the Hatch many times and have always found their seafood to be so fresh all the time. This time I had my sons visiting me from St. Louis, they wanted to eat at the best restaurant for seafood, and of course, we went right here and it didn't disappoint. They especially loved the shecrab soup with the sherry on the side. It was scrumptious. Their dinners were wonderful, as well as the desserts. Needless to say, we went home with plenty of leftovers. Steve, the server was great. All in all, it was a perfect night. So whether you live nearby or on vacation, make it a point to dine there.“

“Coming from out of town this place did not let down! Cory, if that’s how you spell his name, was one of the best servers we have ever had! That gentleman deserves a raise ASAP! We will happily visit this place again if we are ever back in town!“

“My wife and I went to eat in downtown NSB and our usual favorite was closed, so we walked around and came across Bar Leona. I normally never even glance at bars since bar food is normally atrocious, but after seeing what was on people's plates, we went in and were not disappointed. This is no bar food; the cuisine is obviously prepared by a well-trained chef. I have traveled the world and this is some of the best Italian cuisine I have had. I watched the kitchen and could see the craftsmanship going into the food prep.

The Buratta appetizer is a delicious blended ricotta with a pool of honey and a little spice. My only criticism is it should have a few more slices of crostini to go with the liberal portion of ricotta, but it's fabulous. The meatball appetizer has a generous portion with a well-balanced sauce, not too sour or tangy as with some Italian restaurants. Same goes for the Spicy Vodka ziti, Pasta Bolognese, Seafood Pasta; delicious sauces, well-balanced flavors, and generous portions. I have had some of their specials like mushroom seafood ravioli that was superb; handmade dough and filling, no frozen ravioli dumped out of a bag with a sauce poured on top. The Pork Picatta was a good-sized super tender pork chop over pasta covered by a delicious lemon caper sauce.

I have always gotten superb service whether on a weekday or busy weekend. Their team work together so if one server sees someone needs something, they'll step in and get it taken care of.

They have an excellent selection of desserts that change, and of course a great drink selection.

Prices are not cheap but are in line with this quality of fare in the area. There are not a lot of tables, especially for larger groups, so better get there early to avoid a wait. This place is now in my top two restaurants when I want a good meal.“

“excellent food, drinks, and service. Michele was our server and extremely knowledgeable of ALL menu items. If you like bloody Marys, the Holy Mary was delicious, just like an appetizer...lol. I highly recommend the place and Michele!“

“Awesome like this for bikefest“

“Have eaten here 3 times in 2 months! Food, presentation and staff were terrific! Everything was outstanding and we can’t wait to return to NSB to eat here again!“

“This was recommended by some locals, so I checked it out. Awesome place! Lovely atmosphere, away from all the noise. Ally is an awesome bartender and took very good care of me. I will definitely be back! It’s another world.“

“My husband and I enjoyed dinner here this evening. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was gorgeous and our server was super friendly! I had the coconut curry with fish and shrimp! Best curry dish I have ever had!“

“1 Sunday of the month has free bbq and great live music 🎼 🎤🎸🥁👊🏼🍻“

“Great bartender!!!Happy Campers!!!“

“Beachside Tavern captures the easygoing spirit of New Smyrna Beach while giving live music a place to thrive. It's the kind of neighborhood venue where talented local musicians, touring artists, and beachgoers all come together for an evening that feels relaxed, genuine, and unmistakably Florida. Great music always sounds a little better when it's only a few blocks from the ocean.

As musicians, we appreciate venues that consistently support live performers and help create opportunities for artists to connect with new audiences. Places like Beachside Tavern keep Florida's coastal music scene alive and remind us that some of the best nights happen in rooms that simply love live music. 🍄“

“Great talking to Al. Lots of stories and a cold beer“

“Always a great time. Best bartenders and great music.“

“What a truly uplifting location in the heart of downtown Main Street, beachside of Daytona Beach, inspiring greatness. The owners are beacons of hope. Bam Bam is a guy with a heart of pure kindness. Great bar and soon-to-be venue. The tall ceilings make for awe-inspiring acoustics for live shows and singing. The bar has one of the most awesome bathrooms with enchanting lighting. Very clean, always a vibrant crowd, cool game nights, great drink specials, and friendly staff. A well-recommended place to hang out locally and nightly. Exactly what Daytona needs to thrive.“

“amazing bartenders, heavy pours, friendly biker bar“

Thank you for such a great place to visit!“

“I love the Flagler Tavern atmosphere and staff. However the burger sliders were not favorable at all! They were the most overcooked and smallest sliders that I have ever had and were not up to Flagler Tavern standards. I’m sure I will be back as a Loyalty member but will probably pass on the apps.“

“Garrett was fabulous. Kept our table clean, excellent service. To the owners... Where's the hush puppies?!?! Seriously no hush puppies at crabby Joe's“

“Extremely friendly staff and owners. It may not sound like it, but the PB burger is well worth it… delicious!

Come here on a Wednesday night if open mic is your thing. Come here any night at all if you like free pool, great food, and even better people. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The food was fantastic, the server was rarely seen and waits for drink refills and food was long between. The dish I had, although delicious, was not very hot as it probably sat dying in the window while waiting on the rest of the food to come out. Despite the negatives, the food is well worth returning for.“

“We decided to stop here after our hotel didn't have a restaurant. It was quiet, and secluded. I wouldn't call anything on the menu spectacular, but it was hot and fresh.

The waitress was very friendly and attentive.

The food was cooked to order and all was very good.“

“Beautiful views, friendly bartenders, great food, relaxed atmosphere. We went to a comedy show and really liked it. Stayed after it was over and enjoyed just hanging out!“

“it's a great organization with great people!! A newly remodeled canteen with $2 long necks and new kitchen with reasonable lunch and dinner menu!! And no smoking!!“

“best wings in town and the girls are nice to“

“I've driven past this bar 1000 times and I just stopped in today. $2 drafts! It's hard to find places like this anymore. You can also smoke your cigars or cigarettes if you choose. Bartenders are nice and the local old timers will tell you a good story. If you're looking for. 5 star Ritz this ain't it. It's an actual real bar with good folks with real people. I think I found my new home whenever my wife starts nagging me and I need to get away.“

“Great place to go on oceanfront & have a cocktail! Bartenders along with the Locals were great“

“I'm not actually from here in Port Orange but when I went to the winners club they made me feel like I was part of the family. good group of people. The owner really plans out activities for her locals hang out some really fun things going on up there dirty bingo it's fun. Got a good music box music box. And some ice cold beer a kind of beer when you get off of work...ice cold you know!!! Love y'all. PS let's not forget the barmaid I call her Sissy .... She's Just like a little sis... One big family that makes you feel at home.“

“We enjoyed the outdoor patio. The staff was friendly, attentive. The food and drinks great! What a great beach town. We had our dog with us and this place allowed the dog on the patio. We had a bit of a problem finding a place right off. But we were pleasantly surprised with the whole place. Definitely recommend.“

“Amazing Drinks!!! Staff is Friendly and Positive vibes... Love it!!!“

“I will never be able to express how beautifully my wedding went because of them. I can’t even imagine going with another venue. Cara was the most responsive, most realistic and honest and kind and caring person to work with. She handled my nerves and questions for my most special day impeccably and her venue felt as if we were destined to be married there. The property is so beautiful, well kept and Cara will make sure no one screws you over and helps you not feel overwhelmed. The history behind that venue alone is the most precious thing about it. The get ready house for the girls was blasting with music, champagne and laughs. The boys train car was TikTok ready and boys being well…boys! I recommend this venue with every ounce in me!“

“It's a cool place to hang out have some drinks meet people there's arcade and casino games pool tournaments trivia tournaments and trivia for amusement and the staff for all pretty great pet friendly ice cold beer and drinks big screen TVs sporting events and things like that do star boards ringtones thing ring on a string with a hook thing it's it's a nice place so make sure if you go to YouTube well bartenders are all cool but tough which is a good thing so yeah I give him five rotten tomatoes and five a five stars“

“Great hotel and great service! Isabela and the team that put together the drinks/food at our conference were great and incredibly fun! They all brought great energy into our conference and were always helpful. Isabela went above and beyond taking care of our group during happy hour“

“Perfect local watering hole. The bartenders are always welcoming, competent, witty and kind. One even walked a friend to her car during a potentially dangerous situation to provide an extra level of comfort to the guest. The employees here are very aware of their clientele and surroundings. This place always brings stiff drinks and a good time. There’s awesome art on the exterior and they often have live entertainment. Definitely worth a visit!“
