Just curious -- what are the hottest/most popular waterfront boating restaurants/bars/taverns, etc. in Florida. Where do you go to have the most fun! Both east and west coast, Keys and Panhandle are all fair game.

Tiki Bar / Islamorada is my fav

Personally, we have our fun rafted up, or at the sandbar, then go to the bar/restaurant on the way home. Bananna Boat, 2 Georges, the Cove, Shooters are most common around here.

Chevelle's right. When I lived full time in atl we wld go to the cove and them on to the one good bar/hang out. Here in fl you never run out of places to go. We have literally 30 diff rest/bars we can visit by water and thats just in my area. Our raft ups at beer can and runs to eggmont key or lido or snake isl or madiera or you get the picture. It's amazing.

In no particular order:

Where in Lido ? I just bought a house acroos the street from the Lido beach looking for a good place.
Thanks

Then we are pretty much nieghbors. I live on siesta. When ur on lido itself head south to the end. When u get to the park make a left and walk out to the beach. It's actually a boat beach. Designed so can boats can beach. Nice big sign telling people to watch out. Great place to BBQ. It's already getting busy. 82 this weekend(:

Oh now i know, I was there in Dec. Not much action then. a lot of kayaks. Wish i was there now, won't be back down until April for couple of weeks, then back for July race.
