Exquisite Atmosphere and Lively Entertainment
Nothing pairs better with a beach vacation than an ice-cold beer on the shore or boat drinks in the evening
Panama City Beach’s unique location as a nexus of the American South and Gulf Coast makes for a vibrant local cuisine. Freshly harvested shrimp, oysters and fish pair beautifully with hearty comfort food
Grab a table at Pompano Joe’s Seafood House
Pompano Joe’s is the place to go for any seafood lovers in Panama City Beach – a long-standing oceanside favorite that has been cooking up some of Florida’s finest since 1995.
With an extensive menu featuring everything from coconut shrimp to Mahi-Mahi tacos and no shortage of tropical cocktails (hair of the dog, anyone?), you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Be sure to try the Seafood Gumbo, Joe’s award-winning quintessential dish.
Dine with a view at The Back Porch Seafood & Oyster House
Right across the road from Pompano Joe’s sits another noteworthy seafood joint offering ice-cold beer and a laid-back vibe: The Back Porch Seafood & Oyster House.
With live music on most nights of the week, this place has a party atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding after an exhilarating day of adventure.
Slurp some oysters at The Grand Marlin
So you’ve seen all the sights and done all the activities – now it’s time for a hearty meal,
For seafood lovers, the Grand Marlin is one of the best options in town, with its shucked-to-order oyster bar the undisputed highlight.
Thanks to its location next to Capt. Anderson’s Marina overlooking an inlet of St. Andrews Bay rather than the Gulf Coast, this eaterie provides a more low-key atmosphere when compared to the typical beachfront bars.
Have a drink at the famous Margaritaville
Ah, yes, the classic Margaritaville!
Arguably the most famous chain restaurant in the region, this cheesy-yet-fun drinking spot in Pier Park is a must-visit for any visitors to PCB who love their food as much as they do their drinks.
By day, dig into a plate of fish tacos or hand-battered chicken tenders; by night, down a couple of comically oversized margaritas and find a nearby dancefloor!
