Food scene
They have live music every night, a great variety of food offerings (I haven’t had anything I don’t like yet) and is even a great spot to watch your favorite sports team play.

AWESOME hibachi (both the food and the show they put on). My go to is the filet hibachi. It’s a little on the pricey side but OH MAN ITS GOOD!

You don’t get the whole hibachi show here but their food is excellent and is a little cheaper than the traditional hibachi where they cook in front of you. I’m a fan of the filet hibachi!

Off the hook is a cute little local place on the water, just minutes from the house. It’s outdoor seating only but it’s a great atmosphere to grab a few drinks and get a simple meal. Their menu has a lot of typical stuff like burger and sandwiches. My go to is the pulled pork sandwich with the sweet bbq sauce. They often times have live music, corn hole competitions and sometimes even have bingo. It’s a fun little spot.

Brunch
I’ve only ever gotten the eggs benedict with a side of cheese grits and it is to die for! They also have bottomless mimosas where they give you the bottle to self serve (gotta love that)!! Their outside deck overlooks the water as well as a pool so it’s the perfect place for everyone. Adults can brunch while the kids swim. It’s 10/10!

Excellent breakfast, brunch food and drinks! Saturday and Sunday they have a live saxophone player which is really enjoyable. My go to order had been the BLT on a croissant with a side of cheese grits. I also really like the breakfast burrito.

Late night
This is my go to late night spot for drinks. They have 3 different bars inside Miss Newbys, so there’s something for everyone. Upstairs is more like a club, downstairs on the patio always has live music and inside it is a typical bar. They also offer bottle service so you are able to buy a bottle of your favorite wine and drink it there.

Tootsies is a fun place to go dance and have light hearted fun. They always have awesome live bands playing and it is always a blast. I have gone with my mom and grandmother and we all had so much fun together. Truly a place for any age if you like live music. It is also in Pier Park so it is easy to grab a bite to eat and then hop over for a little bit of fun after.

I enjoy going to the beach behind Schooners. It is nice to be near restrooms, food and drinks if needed. They have an awesome strawberry daiquiri as well!

You have to rent a boat to get to shell island but it is absolutely beautiful and such a great time! With a big group, a day rental on the pontoon is affordable. Shell island could truly be the highlight of your trip!
