“Such a fun lil’ dining spot! Casual with a great menu selection and cocktail and beer menu also! Small area inside for dining, with outdoor patio and inside bar! Also have a dock to come by boat! Not a lot of parking available, but can park on roadside and at Compass Rose a Walk down. Loved the Gouda & Bacon oysters! Fresh with lots of melted Gouda & crispy bacon! Come with grilled bread! 🥖 The frosty cold IPA & 🍺 3rd Planet “Your my little boy Blue”Blueberry Beer, was a bonus! Great place for a get together, family meal, or just to have a drink and snack or lunch-dinner! The view is beautiful, and 3 house cats 🐈 hanging around, to entertain! Will definitely be back!“

“We visited Fort Walton for the first time and I had already planned to visit this restaurant. I was so excited because of what I saw on the internet. It absolutely did not disappoint. We enjoyed the nachos & mixed drinks. The scavenger hunt was so much fun with my husband and 3 year old and the alligator show was so educational. We will definitely go back!! Oh, and we met “Henry” the 1 year old baby gator that we took a photo with!“

“Such a cute place, amazing food and service. Definitely one of our favorites!“

“I’ve been going to Radbar for 5 years. Everyone is kind, and the conversations with the girls are always fun to have! Theme and Contest nights are the most fun you can have on any weekend, and Radbar does it right! The drink selection is A+ with IPAs and Coolers for adults and sodas and waters for underage gamers. Keeping it open for everyone till 9pm gives the younger people a chance to experience old school arcades, but of course after 9, it’s a nice relaxing getaway for gamers! 10/10 will keep my business every time!“

“Went there for the Spirit of 1989 show. It was good show in a decent venue. It was extremely hot in there and felt like the heat was blowing on me, but it was cool outside so was able to go out between bands. They had the game playing outside so I could check the score in between bands. There is some actual seats inside and outside the venue, having a bad back, I am unable to stand long periods of time. The bands were good, it was a good time. I would definitely go back for a show there again.“

“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“

“We visited the area for the first time in nearly two years last week. We were so happy to see Nicole still behind the bar! Not only did she recognize us out-of-towners, but even remembered all our names! Drinks are great, food is always stellar, and atmosphere is perfect. Can’t wait to come back, hopefully much sooner than later!“

“I had an amazing experience at this bar, thanks to Becca. She was incredibly attentive and made sure to carefully listen to my order, especially after I mentioned I had food allergies. I felt completely at ease knowing she took that seriously. Becca took great care of me and my friends, all while still keeping up with other customers in a very busy summer crowd. It honestly felt like I had my own personal bartender the whole time. Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made the night stand out. Highly recommend stopping by and asking for Becca!“

“Amazing, came back twice on a short vacation. Brittney the bartender and the best oysters we’ve ever had being the sole reasons. Would make the 6 hour drive here just for that“

“A locals take... During off season this place is a great place. For a warm chill atmosphere. Peak season is entirely another environment. Expect college girls but still a good time. As a local, off season is more my season, but if you're looking for a good time come here. It's real a party spot with awesome bartenders.“

“yes it was small but fun!“

“Fantastic resort in Destin with the best views and rooms!“
