14 Best Bars in Santa Rosa Beach

“amazing food and fantastic service. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Jay our server was the best“

“Stopped in for a drink and some oysters and found the restaurant quite charming. It was a nice afternoon and there is plenty of shady, covered outdoor as well as lots of indoor seating. Service was a little slow but at least two different servers checked on us.
Staff was friendly and knowledgable. The raw oysters tasted good but were not fresh shucked. I would recommend the grilled oysters they were delicious. Prices were good and overall just the atmosphere is worth a stop at this cool place.
Stopped in for lunch another day and the grouper sandwich was good but the service was, well not as good and it seemed to take way too long for a grouper sandwich. But it was cooked perfectly and delish. Definitely be going back, recommend sitting outside.

“Best crab house in Destin!! Been coming for years!“

“I typically find that a location's Google rating is inflated, but that's definitely not the case for Pickle's, at least from our experience. We visited on a weekday in December, few other people there, and sat at The Sandbar. Calvin, the bartender, took care and time in giving us suggestions and just chatting about life, the area, traveling, and more - he made us feel welcomed and he was genuinely interested in getting to know us. We didn't have any of their drinks, but the food was stellar -- we tried the Smash Burger and Mac Attack Burger, alongside some Sweet Heat Wings -- all at Calvin's suggestion. It was all a winner.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Pickle's and truly can't comprehend a 3.5 rating for this place, when a 4.3-4.5 is certainly more accurate.“

“What a FUN night we had at REDDS! We are locals and finally found this place! REDD was such a gracious host!!! , That woman works her BUTT off! She sings, she delivers drinks, brings food, takes orders, ect! We had a group of four last night and all had a great time!!! The cauliflower crust pizza is the BEST in the world and so are the Brussels sprouts!!! 10/10 recommend!“

“Bud & Alley's is the best waterfront dining in Seaside and likely all of 30A. The breakfast is particularly excellent, and the staff is attentive and kind. They fed our large group and everyone loved it. The Longleaf Writers Conference is a big fan of Bud & Alley's - a supporter of our local educational outreach program for ten years! (The rooftop bar for sunset can't be missed.)“

“I never do reviews, but this little bar & grill was awesome! The food was the best I’ve had in 30a. I’ve driven by it numerous times but we stopped today and so glad we did. Grilled shrimp tacos and the jalapeño margarita were wonderful. The service was top notch too!!“

“Parking: Parking is not so much of an issue, but I wanted to say since lately we felt like we have been racially profile with these knew male workers , we would stand there for along period of time which these guys will ignore us for hours without serving us as if we are invisible,one guy particularly will ring up our order and give us the receipt before even serving us our drink I find that kind a disrespectful, Sarah is the best and always will be the best bartender at Johnny mcthighs she so welcoming.“

“Hearing good things about Macho Taco so tried it this evening. Street tacos pork belly and pulled pork were 10/10. Husband had stuffed enchiladas, 10/10 from him. I had happy hour house margarita. 8/10, needed more salt and bigger lime wedge. Will be worth going again“

“After staying in the WaterColor Community for 10+ years each summer, I have never experienced that type of disrespect. Worse customer service ever. I do not wish that type of behavior on my worse enemy. Never again.“
