Jellyfish Joel's Beach Bar

Heaven on earth! Our favorite upper bay spot on the eastern shore to boat to. Jelleefish is now running a complimentary water taxi to get you to the tiki bar…so even if you are anchored out in the creek, you can still get to the fun. Kids love the playground, the jump pad, and the newly added swings. Food is great! The burger easily feeds two people. Jerk chicken tenders (famous at Tiki Lee’s) are amazing. We always go behind the tiki bar and back into the sandy beach, lots of room for boats now that the dedicated swimming area is gone.

When we arrived, we were immediately captivated by the beautiful and gorgeous ambiance. The decor was lovely, and the swings were a great addition for the kids to play on. Now, let’s talk about the drinks. They were okay, but I miss the fresh squeeze crushes they used to offer. It’s time-consuming, but if you’re not going to make a true orange crush, don’t put it on your menu.

Next, we decided to get a margarita. Unfortunately, it was made wrong. It tasted like there was some type of licorice in it, and they didn’t even add salt or sugar to the rim, which is the best part of a margarita. They remade it, but this time, it was too much lime juice. The bartenders clearly did not know how to make drinks.

Overall, the bartending skills need improvement. They don’t shake the margaritas, and they seem to be purposely ignoring customers who are standing there. But aside from that, the atmosphere was beautiful, and I’ll definitely be back again this summer.

Food and drinks were decent, the service was inattentive at best. We were ignored, our order was wrong and the server never came back to our table to see if we wanted anything else ( another drink, desert, etc). They won't be around long if they don't fix this problem. The entertainment was good.

Not kept up like it used to be. Beach all stones and almost stepped on peice of wood with 3" nail.

We stopped on a Sunday. The band was good. Happy people were dancing. It was a happy beachy vibe. The beach is pebbly. I'd go back if in the area.

Good Docking! Beautiful spot with lots of space to play. The bar has a good feel and great view of the boats coming and going. Next time I will try the food.

Service was pretty quick and most bartenders were friendly. Rolling eyes and a poor attitude emanated from one sour apple which was a shame but easy to ignore. The clientele was very easy going and fun both last night and this afternoon. The view is beautiful! Drinks were mostly ice which made them nice and cold but watered down. A great place to catch a tan on shore or to moor your boat

Worst place ever! Trashy

If you're not a regular ; you need the stars to align to get a drink from the tiki bar. Bartenders are pretty bad there. Other than that good views being right on the water. Just go there to swim.
