13 Best Bars near Sunrise Beach

“We visited this spot for brunch on our last day in town, mostly drawn in by the promise of cocktails served in a whole pineapple. I mean, come on, how fun is that? The food here is primarily seafood inspired bar food, but you've got some fun random additions to the menu like crab rangoon, which our table shared as a starter. I had a strawberry mojito in a pineapple, and fish tacos as an entree. First of all the mojito was fine, but if I did it over I'd go for one of their frozen drinks, I think I maybe had too high of hopes and should have stuck with something that they were more known for. The tacos on the other hand were great! The portion was massive, and I definitely enjoyed my meal. Our server was attentive, and we had a great view of the lake. Overall this is a fun place with pretty good food - If I was ever in the Ozarks again I'd definitely consider returning!“

“Beautiful atmosphere and April gave us amazing service. Had the Philly Eggroll appetizer, the classic burger with bacon jam on the side and fries instead of chips, and the new Mahi Mahi Tacos (YUM!) Kudos to the team for the new menu, everything was excellent!“

“We did a girls weekend and went here as it was close to our vrbo. AMAZING food ( with generous portions) and super tasty margaritas(more triple sec flavored as opposed to lime). Very clean and chill atmosphere. Leftovers are even better on day 2. It's well worth the drive, loved it!“

“Love this place! Owners are awesome! As a Marine, I was very grateful that they put on the Commandant's message AND celebrated the Marine corps birthday. One of the best veteran bars at the lake! If you’re a local vet, take your photo in uniform up and they’ll put it on their hometown hero’s wall!“

“Traveling across country and stopped for gas. Asked a Local for a good place to eat. After a few minutes he mentioned SHORTY PANTS. He said the food was good , but must have been CRAZY, the food was grate. Even better than that. I had a bowl of GUMBO and it was fantastic. So I decided to try them.Getting to the restaurant was a little different, but I'll let you discover that for yourself.Place was very clean and the atmosphere was out of bounds. Waitress was very polite and very clean looking. My visit was quick so I didn't have much interaction with her. She gave me the address of the restaurant and I promise you all, if I get near this place I'm stopping in.My only complaint would be that I don't live next door to this place. The menu sounded fantastic, I would be trying it all.“

“The service was really good and our server was very friendly. She answered all of our questions and was so helpful. The food was great!!! Philly Cheesesteak, Cuban, jalapeno corn, queso and chips, and strawberry spinach salad. Not one thing we tried was bad. Would highly recommend!!“

“This place was such a disappointment we drove an hour and a half and was treated horrible. I am retired Air Force heard about this place and wanted to give it a try. We had to clean our own table. The food was over cooked and dry and horrible, the bathrooms were dirty, no paper towels to dry your hands or soap. Drinks were spilled on the dance floor and employees just left them there. The dance floor was almost nonexistent (so small) and the music was so loud you literally couldn't hear the person next to you scream at you to talk. Much less get a drink order. Don't go you'll waste your money and time. We paid $44.00 for 2 small pulled pork sandwiches and 2 orders of fries and 4 beers. Never again..... horrible place and staff.“

“My local watering hole. I love this place. It is within golf cart distance. The bartenders are friendly. Don't expect a chocolate expresso martini at this place but they have Blue Moon on draft, my favorite, and all the typical American beers in bottles and liquour. I would recommend the banana pudding shots! Friday nights they serve a meal beyond bar food. The crab cakes are only served once every 2-3 months but the best I have ever had!“

“Beautiful restaurant and quaint for a nice dinner date! Shrimp corn dogs appetizer was a great start followed by the lobster mac & cheese which was absolutely divine. Added a unique cocktail and was greeted by the owners during our wonderful evening.Kid-friendliness: Provided coloring supplies and a nice free water bottle for our 3-year-old to take home.“

“Checked out this little gem at MM33. Good dock areas and live music as we were pulling in, what a nice welcoming! Hung out at the tiki bar and had great service. Grabbed a cold one and a few shots of Granma!! Couldn't pass up the goober burger (stuffed w peanut butter), and it was awesome! Bulldog & Staci get a kudos for another great anniversary party! Here's to #18 next year!!“

“Love this place! The food is fabulous, especially for the price. They also have pool tables, electronic darts, and table too poker games. There is a dance floor, which comes in handy when they have guest dj's. The best quality of this place though are the people that run it...Craig and Kelly are top notch in regards to being good people. They are friendly in the most genuine way, and keep keep great conversation, making the experience a good one every single time! I would recommend this to everyone. This is also a very family welcome establishment, as i see families with children there all the time. The owners keep the atmosphere good always.“
