Total dive bar ... smokes and beer and liquor "Best of Anna Maria Island" without a doubt. Quirky bar tenders, heavy pours, bar games, and crazy locals make this place great. Just what the Dr called for!

The outdoor bar is quaint. Drinks are cheap, but bring cash!

A good dive bar in a great location! I sat outside during a rainstorm and listened to the rain come Down as I drank my cocktail! I'm a big fan of dive bars and this is one you need to visit!

had so much drink with #B trivia! Highly recommend! Everyone should come here on AMI!

Like this place, a step back in time. Once smoking inside is banned, will get 5 star rating.

Excellent for older crowd hanging out singing karaoke. A lot of locals come daily as it's family.

Enjoyed a fantastic waterfront dining experience at Swordfish Grill. The sunset views over the…read morewater made for the perfect backdrop to a relaxing meal. We started with stone crab claws, oysters Rockefeller and ahi tuna nachos--all fresh and flavorful. For entrées, the shrimp tacos were delicious, and the award-winning shrimp and grits definitely lived up to the hype. The Greek salad was also fresh and tasty. Our server was very polite and attentive. Great option for families too, with a kids menu featuring crowd-pleasers like chicken fingers and fries. There's also a fun little gift shop inside to browse, and plenty of parking, which makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable.

Came here on a local's recommendation and loved the setting right away. It's right by the fishing…read moredocks so it feels like the fish is coming straight off the boats and into the kitchen. Hard to beat that. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, and there was even live music on a Monday which was a nice surprise. Food was solid. We ordered the Nashville hot fish, grouper Reuben, grouper sandwich, and a dozen baked oysters. Everything was good, but nothing that really stood out or made me want to rush back. The only downside was the pricing. A lot of the grouper dishes are listed as market price, so we didn't have a clear sense of what things would cost going in. Totally get that with fresh fish, but the final bill felt higher than expected and not necessarily reflected in the overall experience.
