You're here for the woodfire grill, the live music at the tiki bar, and the fact that they take flavor seriously while keeping the formality completely out. The sound views and easygoing atmosphere make it the kind of place regulars actually return to. It's moderate-priced, open every day 11 AM–10 PM, and they run a happy hour 4–6 PM Sunday–Thursday with 50% off well cocktails and $1 off draft beers.

The vibe

A fish-house room on Anna Maria Sound next to the Compass Hotel — indoor tables on the water, an outdoor tiki with live music, and a shark mascot named Bruce.

What to order

Food: Grouper Bites — breaded Florida grouper with key lime tartar and Floridays sauce. A standing dinner menu with prices is not posted as text, so confirm the board.

Drink: Sunday–Thursday happy hour 4–6pm: half-off well cocktails and $1 off drafts and house wines. The bar stays open until 11pm Friday and Saturday.

Best time to go

Sunday–Thursday 4–6 PM for happy hour, when you get 50% off well cocktails and $1 off drafts. The tiki bar has live music, so timing it for an evening when that's happening will amplify the vibe.
