The best part about this relaxed establishment is the beautiful views and the friendly staff. The food is also tasty - albeit limited in scope, which is fine since what they do offer is quite good. Grilled grouper and shrimp were fresh and hot, with tasty sides. They've got burgers, fish tacos, and other beach vibe options. Go about 15 mins before sunset. Watch from the literal dock of the bay, and then enjoy a relaxed dinner. Also - nice beer options on tap. read more

Staying at the Hilton Bayside in Panama City Beach. Flip flops is their poolside bar. Can't say their drinks are great, seriously lacking in product and bartender knowledge but the staff was pleasant and tried. We ordered a lil dinner one night and enjoyed the cheeseburger and Mahi Mahi fish tacos. The view of the bay makes it all worthwhile! read more

The food was good. Service was great the first time we went. The second time the bartender disappeared and drinks took forever. Also service from the kitchen was slow that night. So I would say service was inconsistent. read more

Stayed at the hotel for a week and loved having the pool bar! Had one rude waitress but other than that everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious. Didn't have a single bad thing. Quesadilla, burger, pizza, fries, it was all great. To drink we had modelo on tap, pina colada, and a rum runner. It's purely outside but had plenty of shade! read more

The food was great. Service was excellent. It's right on the water. I will be back. read more

Definitely not the traditional sense of Key Lime Pie. This is cake with filling and key lime flavor on top. It was ok, wouldn't order again. Love the atmosphere of the bar! read more

What a fun place! We played ping pong before we ate. Then we had the chicken quesadilla and fish tacos. Both were fantastic and had great flavor! The fries were also good. Wasn't a fan of the rice and beans. read more

Flip Flops Pool Bar - Fish tacos and chicken quesadilla - Bars Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Spent a few days here and enjoyed the nightly drink specials...all delicious...searve by friendly bartender staff. Food was hot and hit the spot! This pool side bar also overlooked the beautiful bay with big screen TVs on for sports fans. Highly recommended! read more

We dropped in for a drink and to watch the sunset. We stayed for dinner and we're amazed at the quality of the food. I had the blackened grouper sandwich and my wife had the chicken quesadilla. Amazing quality! My only complaint would be to get some local craft beers on tap. I don't go on vacation so I can drink Sierra Nevada pale ale or a Michelob ultra light. We travel a lot and alway want to try what the local breweries make. read more

The food was good . The drinks and service were great . The weather was excellent . Nice location overlooking the bay . The bar tenders were great . read more

Flip Flops Pool Bar - Sitting ar flip flops with the bay at our back . - Bars Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

September 19, 2022 and 7 of us went for a late lunch. The view is great (lots of pictures posted by others). Unfortunately, the beers on tap were not available as they're having a problem with the kegs. My guess is the Co2 tank/regulator/lines need repairing. The Sheridan sunrise was not too sweet. And there is a full bar, cans of beer, sodas, and tea available. The chicken quesadilla, fish tacos, shrimp quesadilla are good (all the various toppings are available on the side). The smash burger resembled two huge meatballs. No way to be able to stack them and eat them. The flavor was fine and mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, are on the side. The fries are tasty. Christie, thank you for the great service and food preparation explanations. read more

Enjoyed karaoke with views!! I would definitely go to this hotel again just for flip flops!! read more

Flip Flops Pool Bar - a woman sitting at a table - Bars Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Food is a little overpriced for what it is but it's been good both times we have eaten here. The real star of the show is the bar at night! Luke is a hard worker and makes amazing drinks and conversation! He's the reason we came back multiple nights. If you're staying at the resort it's the best night time hangout and great for a quick lunch! read more

Typical pool bar with pricey but good variety of drinks to choose from. Wait staff was understaffed so slow service. Drinks were yummy. read more

Flip Flops Pool Bar - Mimosa and Dirty Banana - Bars Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Worth eating here if you're staying at the hotel or nearby. Not worth a trip if you're not close by. The chicken quesadilla was delicious. We came right before close and they were out of burgers and fish tacos. Our server was very good. She was the only one covering bar and tables. read more

Ate here 2x while staying at Sheraton. 1st time had chicken fingers & fries. Very hot fresh out of fryer. Chicken was ok, fries were very good. Good portion. Second time ordered burger & fries. Double patty burger actually pretty good & freshly made, & fries were still good. read more

July vacation, staying at Bayside. Nice little bar, poolside feel. Friendly wait staff.

Food is pretty average for a bar-type setting. Service was phenomenal. Our Bartender LUKE! He hustles and provides entertainment and great drinks, fast and efficiently! Others were slow and inefficient compared to Luke but he really brightened our experience. 5/5 stars for Luke, 3.5/5 for everyone else. Honeymoon was great because of Flip-Flops, and because of Luke! read more

Location is great but the food is terrible. We have had shrimp tacos, quesadillas, wings, and chip with guacamole. The shrimp tacos and quesadillas were good the rest was bad. Bar staff is outstanding!!! read more

Every other meal was fine but I ordered the red fish tacos. Notice I said tacos, plural. I have gluten issues so I didn't get the tortillas. What I did get was 4 very tiny pieces of fish. It wouldn't have made one good taco, much less two ! The manager said that was how they weigh it out. Not a good response. The grouper sandwiches were a hit. read more

We recently stayed at the Sheraton and Flip Flops was our hangout for trivia (on Thursday), football on Saturday and sunsets every night. The staff are attentive and wonderful and the crowd is great. It doesn't take long before "everybody knows your name"! Great drinks, good TV, fun and friendly staff--what a place. And, oh, I forgot to mention the view read more

We loved Flip Flops each time we visited during our 5 day stay at the resort! No matter the time of day, the service was always quick and friendly. The drinks were great and the food was always delicious! The bartender even remembered our drinks after the first visit which is surprising considering the amount of faces she must see in a day. You could just sit all day and watch the beautiful beach! read more

Flip Flops Pool Bar - Chips & Salsa - Bars Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Great food for a poolside bar. I highly recommend the Avocado fries and Mahi Mahi Tacos. The Smoked Tuna dip is also quite good. Portions were larger than expected. The Avocado fries could easily be shared between 2-4 people. Service was a bit slow but was friendly. read more

See all

What a fun place! Dylan is an amazing bartender!! Love the margaritas, atmosphere, and being by the water.

caesar salad and fries were decent! bartender was nice and engaging with people - i do feel like things were a bit overpriced and behind the bar was not the cleanest read more

Flip Flops Pool Bar - two plates of salad and fries - Bars Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Our first visit to the newly reopened Sheraton pool bar. It's clear that challenges remain but everyone was alert and trying to get up to speed. Prices are not cheap, but it's a resort bar. $20 for a basic drink and one appetizer with tip. I expect service will improve. Welcome back, Sheraton. read more

Decent food and the service was good. I don't have have much to say other than the avocado fries were a nice touch. read more

Flip Flops Pool Bar - Avocado fries with cilantro ranch - Bars Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Would love to give this place a better rating. The male bartender (never got his name) was more than generous and a pleasure to be served by. Nicole on the other hand, was not. She seemed annoyed to serve anyone. She avoided us when we needed to order food for over an hour. OkThursday night, we waited over 45 minutes before someone greeted us. Do not get the fries, go get fries at Pelicans. Better yet, just never go to Flip Flops and go to Pelicans instead. Just make sure you order dinner before 6pm because their kitchen shuts down wayyyyyyyy to early (Pelicans). They couldn't put in an entree at 6:15pm. Proceed with caution if you don't have patience. read more

Out of Michelob ultra. Slow service stood at bar for 10 minutes trying to get a drink .

Stayed at the Sheraton for a vacation. Had trouble calling in an order, restaurant called back, after I decided to go down. Got food in under 10 minutes for a family of 4. Special note if you do the sunset cruise you get a coupon for 15% off read more

I stayed at the Sheraton Resort for a conference (So nice to get out of the cold for a few days!!). It is a very nice hotel, with beautiful grounds, and it is a lovely location to kick back at a conference. The Sheraton has a fantastic bar called Flip Flops right on the water, perfect for watching the sunset. The food and atmosphere was festive. I had a Margherita flatbread the first night and I had so much fun I came back the second night even though I'm not usually a stay-in-the-hotel kind of person. Flip Flops is a really nice place to visit with other guests and take in the spectacular view. The staff is great and the manager Arielle is a gem. She was very friendly and helpful... And makes a delicious Strawberry Basil Mojito!! read more

There is no better place in Panama City for a view and casual dining by a pool. I am giving this 3 stars because the service was perfect and drinks/food were exactly what we wanted. The restaurant has not reached its full potential, but I am confident it will. read more

There is still work to be done here. Mediocre service when they weren't very busy. My burger was good but my fries were cold. Waited on hot fries that never came out. I finished my burger and my drink and still no fries. The server didn't seem to care. The view is great but service needs to improve greatly! read more

Best bartender ever that makes amazing drinks! Nicole will take care of you!! Great service and makes the best old fashioned!!!

Wednesdays they have a $5.00 wing special for lunch. Worst idea I had that day. Wings were cold, not crispy and the buffalo sauce they were tossed in was weirdly sweet. Not worth it. read more

Very friendly bartenders and a beautiful location. Two pools with shade and palm trees. We did not have any food but It was nice to order drinks, while the kids swam, and we could watch the sunset. read more

Five stars. The chili cheese burger is AMAZING. It's nicely cooked, not over or undercooked. I'll admit, i wasn't expecting much from a pool bar but this exceeded by expectations greatly. Great service, I sat at the bar and the bartender was as friendly as can be (his name was JD). The view of the pier and pools is great. Though the menu is limited the food is good. I found the bar to be clean and the atmosphere welcoming. The food was a bit of a wait to get but was worth it. And after your done eating you can walk down the pier. I will sure go back read more

Terrible experience, low key dirty bar with unprofessional. Service. Our server Jid (im not sure if I pronounce it right) Did not give us a lime or salt with margaritas when I ask for lime he said "oh do you really like lime???) No garnish with pinacolada but other girl bartender garnish with orange and pineapple. Is it Sheraton??? We go better drinks with fresh ingredients (not fat fridays chemical drink mixer) at Grand Marlin 3 miles away. Oh and serve the chips with fresh salsa not one from the cans!!!' read more

If there was a no star rating I would give it that. Went Saturday 9/30 about 2:30PM for lunch...one guy sitting at the bar already had his food and drink, four girls just paying their tabs and leaving. My friend and I sat at the bar, in front of us was a dirty ashtray, an empty beer bottle, crumbs from food, and some BBQ sauce or something on the bar. After 10 minutes of NO SERVICE a waitress walked behind us and said, "Do you want something?" As if we would be sitting there if we didn't....a menu perhaps? the bartender put two menus down, on the filthy bar..I asked can you clean up this dirty counter? He pulled a filthy sopping wet rag out of somewhere, did a fast swipe across the counter, pushing the crumbs onto me, leaving the swamp water on the counter in front of us and missed the BBQ goop completely. Left and will not return. Horrible service, I'm calling the Health Department.... UPDATE: I spoke with the Food and Beverage Manager and he couldn't have been nicer, he promised to address the issue and he is eager to fix any problems in order to make the Sheridan, and it's events bigger, better and highly desirable experiences. read more

Great bartender and food! Poolside or bar service available with dr SK, fish tacos, tuna dip, shrimp, etc with a fantastic views JD will take great care of you!!!! read more
