Great atmosphere and services. It's a great corner beer tavern. Bartenders and staff are friendly. Sports are always on their large screens and a great place to catch a game. Food selection is somewhat limited, pizzas are good. They additional serve as a liquor store for the north end of the island read more

We called and ordered 3 large custom pizzas. They told us it would be ready in 25-30 minutes. My husband left our house after 25 minutes for the 10 minute drive to the bar. They had forgotten to put our order in the system until we after we arrived and asked to pick it up. They put the order in and we paid about $120 with tip for the three pizzas. My husband waited for over an hour at the restaurant. No discount received. Many apologies from the staff though. Ultimately, the pizza quality was fine but one of them (pepperoni) had an abnormally sweet crust- like sugary sweet. It was odd. We all commented on it, not great. Pepperonis themselves were very tasty. Otherwise the pizza would have been decent for the beach. I don't like giving local island spots bad reviews since we've lived half our lives here for 20 years but that was a disappointing experience and our first ever experience at Bortell's. read more

Headed to Bortells to watch our football game tonight. We've been coming to there for many years! Our bartenders were AMAZING!

Great bar with excellent service and atmosphere. Only had drinks. Plenty of TVs for watching sports. read more

For our last night, my family and I decided to check out Bortell's. We wanted to see how the place was doing since the makeover. The drinks were good, but the food was outstanding. I didn't have low expectations per se, but I just thought the food would be okay. I was totally wrong. Everyone in our group was pleasantly surprised by how seasoned the food was and how everything was cooked to perfection. I want to give a shout-out to our server Madison. Not only was she very attentive and checked up on us, but she was extremely kind and went above and beyond! When we come back, we hope to see her again! read more

Bortells Lounge - Malibu bay breeze - Sports Bars Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

We came in after dinner one evening and saw this is more of a local dive bar atmosphere. A lot of locals were hanging out and everyone was super friendly. Enjoyed drinks a few hours with friends and decided to go back the next night and try out the pizza as the reviews were pretty good. Order the pizza here!! Wow was it good! We tried a few options and were super happy with the flavors and the crust. Only a block from the beach so you can enjoy the sunset and walk back for evening drinks and dinner. Can't wait to go back and hang out! read more

Great spot. Owner very friendly. We will definitely go back. They sell liquor by the bottle also. read more

The bartenders here were the coolest girls ever because they fueled my love for Chappell Roan and kept playing more songs! We ended up being here a few hours after having car troubles but it ended up being the highlight of my entire day. The drinks are good, they have lots of tvs, and the only food they serve is hot dogs and chips (heaven). Stop in for a drink if you're visiting AMI! read more

I love the service. Came here for a weekend trip and loved the bartenders. Gave us advice on some good restaurants around the area.

Hey there. No pizza? Your pizza was incredible. Eat pizza and chicken thumbs... order more drinks...have fun. Just a bar... not fun. Very bad business decision. We just can't justify coming there for drinks and hot dogs. Again, such a bad business decision. read more

Service was excellent. The burgers were fresh and made to order. Overall a great vibe on a hot summer night!

We came for lunch based on location while visiting AMI. The vibe is definitely sports bar, but the food way surpassed my expectations. Husband and I ordered a pepperoni pizza and Greek salad with blackened chicken to share- probably the best Greek salad I have ever had. Pizza was fresh and cheesy. Our daughters had the fried chicken sandwich (not on the new menu but they will make) and chicken tenders- both were generous portions and the chicken was tender and juicy, not heavily breaded. My son had the burger and enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

What a great spot. Patty behind the bar is a terrific person and makes our visits always seem to short! Good food too. I think the owners name is Steve and he's built a very good business! read more

Attention, impossible de manger . c est uniquement un bar sportif. les photos de pizzas burgers sont obsoletes !

Nothing's better than finding a friendly local bar when traveling to an area for a little downtime, we've all experienced the awkward feeling that comes when you walk into one of these local hangouts and everyone knows everyone one and you know no one. Well there's no need to avoid this one or get uptight, Bortells is definitely a place where the locals go but chances are half the customers drinking here are from somewhere else looking for a place to relax, let their hair down and have a good time. From the outside it looks like a smokey old beer joint that was what attracted me, once we entered I was impressed and somewhat disappointed lol, it was very clean, with a giant three sided bar, a few pool tables in a separate room off to the right. This full liquor bar also provides top shelf packaged sales. Along with the pool tables you'll find what defines a modern beer joint - a juke box, a small area for live entertainment, a few televisions, a very limited draft beer selection bud and bud light, a ATM and a cigarette machine (smoking area provided outside in the back, but I'm sure the later it get the more relaxed the smoking policy). The bartender was friendly as were her pours, the cash only pay as you go is another trait inherited from the good old days, so throw your cash on the bar, she will take what she needs and bring you the change, the old respect your neighbor and honor system policy is in full effect here, leaving your cash or cell phone on the bar while visited the clean restrooms or stepping outside wouldn't concern me at all if you took a few minutes to get to know the drunk sitting next to you... read more

I was lucky enough to be a "local" on the Island for a few years. Bortells had a full liquor license on the north end of the Island. Enough said :P read more

Awesome bar. Only had drinks, but the group next to us had pizza and it looked delicious. Can't wait to try it. Sarah is a great server!

Loved it! Simple menu and everything is very good. Went back two nights in a row because I had to have the chicken strips again.

Decent food - long wait understaffed - decent. It pains me to write this. it could be so much better. Im hopeful maybe you will have z as better experience read more

I used to come to this place back before it was remodeled... It was a funky island dive bar. It closed for two years, and just re-opened. It's still a funky island bar but now it's updated, modern, super clean, and very friendly. It's a great place to watch football on Sundays... They give out free hotdogs! Fully stocked bar, purse hooks at every station, power outlets everywhere... love the huge bar! I just love the new Bortell's! read more

Limited menu, dirty and bad service. Wouldn't recommend and won't return. Perhaps if all you want is a beer.

10/10. Great and friendly service. Great drinks and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend. read more

Bortell's is a great place to grab a drink (or two), but the food and service is what makes this place a stand out in Anna Maria. Ask for the blackened chicken sandwich, which is not listed on the menu, and you will not be disappointed. read more

The new Bortell's is awesome! Great service and cold beer. The owner has put a lot of care, thought, and time to make sure it's a great experience. It's also a great place to lie about how big the fish you caught earlier in the day. read more

Love stopping into Bortells for a cold drink and great pizza or grab a DORA and watch the sunset just a few steps out the back door. Always a fun crowd and friendly staff. Especially the long haired freaky guy. He's one epic dude! read more

They denied service to us because one on my friends was a dark Puerto Rican . They refused to give me service and even refused to give us a glass of water. Sad that they decided to take the route they did. Last time we go ! read more

We're locals and this is normally a good place but tonight, the two female bar tenders were enough to ensure that we'll go to every other bar on the island except here again. Poor attitudes. read more

Great drink prices (a rarity in these parts) and a fun crowd every night we went. If you're ok with an island dive bar, this place is for you. Jukebox, pool tables, and darts. No complaints. We enjoyed it more than some of the fancier bars in the area. read more
