The Red Bar

The five stars isn’t for the food it’s for the experience which included good flavorful food in addition to the experience with the personnel, the ambiance and the local setting. We were informed of this place from a Boutique store owner in Grayton Beach. It is a fun place to go. Love the standard they have of showing you the menus on large portable chalkboards (see photo). Posters is everything all around. We were there at lunch so lo live music but you can see a photo of where they play. Ordered the seafood gumbo and blackened fish salad. Both done very well with great flavors. Right by a beautiful beach and dunes entrance, it’s a great spot to dine.

Hands Down our favorite place! You walk in the door, and just feel the vibe! Music is always playing! It’s loud! It’s busy! It’s fun! Even the restrooms are fun! This eclectic jewel of a place has never disappointed us! The bar is fabulous, whether you’re sitting, standing, or trying to just find a spot to just take it all in! There’s usually always a wait, but the whole experience is just worth it. You’ll order from a short selection list, written on a chalk board and brought to your table. Food is always good! There’s a great gift shop next door!

Great place, great experience. Live jazz band, fresh seafood and other dishes prepared when ordered. Served hot and delicious by friendly servers. Not the greatest of place to take kids for dinner, but lunch offers more kid-friendly selections. They were crowded. We were told 45 minutes wait but our group of four were seated in ten minutes. Loved the fun atmosphere.

Really cool restaurant and bar! Came for lunch and had fish and chips. My meal was nice and hot. I also had their Stress Reliever drink which was true to its name! I'd love to come back.
