Bud & Alley’s

Earning a spot both on our list of 30A local favorite restaurants and our list of top 30a bars, Bud & Alley’s is the ultimate beachside bar. Located in Seaside, people come to Bud & Alley’s for the laid-back vibe, gorgeous beach views (especially from the rooftop bar), tropical cocktails, and cold beers. Put in your guess for the exact time that the sunset will set, which is marked by bar tenders with the ringing of a bell as the sun sinks below the sea. If you guess right, your drink is on the house!

Chiringo and Red Bar

In Grayton Beach, Chiringo and Red Bar dominate the 30a bar scene as fantastic places for cocktails, beer, and live entertainment. Chiringo has a juice bar, fresh open-air dining with gulf views, and a cheerful ambiance, while Red Bar’s bohemian beach atmosphere sets the stage for rocking live music from the house band and other local talent, hearty food, and strong cocktails. Just be prepared for long lines to get into Red Bar due to its immense popularity and plan accordingly!

723 Whiskey Bravo

Just like Bud & Alley’s, 723 Whiskey Bravo has earned a spot on two of our lists of favorites, both for its delicious menu and its chill drinking environment. Gaze out at the shimmering waves of the gulf from the rooftop 30a bar of this Seagrove Beach institution, which has comfy couches and a fire pit, as well as TVs for catching your favorite sports games.

Growler Garage

Lovers of craft micro-brewed beer—a growing trend that doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon—should definitely check out Growler Garage, which has an expansive tap list that primarily focuses on Florida-brewed beers. You can see the ocean from right out front of this bar in 30a, but if you want to drink on the beach, you can pick up one of their special beach-friendly growlers (made from plastic or stainless steel) and take your beer to go!
