Drop whatever you are doing and go!…read more Zanzibar is an intimate yet unique live jazz music experience literally in the basement of a historical house. Beer and wine is served in a highly welcoming setting. Tonight, it was someone's birthday and they were handing out slices of cake to everyone there. The live performance was PHENOMENAL. Amy A. Hall, a vocalist, was performing with a back up band, which included covers of mainstream R&B songs. People were dancing and moving on the floor and in their seats. Cannot say enough good things. There is also an outdoor sports bar in the garage as well as a barber shop area and an AirBNB upstairs. Whatever you are doing... go!

If you're looking for a genuinely unique night out in Daytona Beach, Zanzibar Blu is the hidden gem…read moreyou have to experience!! Nestled in the basement below what looks like a vintage barbershop, this classy speakeasy transports you straight into an intimate live music lounge -- dim lighting, cozy seating, soulful music, and an atmosphere that feels like you've stepped back in time. What truly sets Zanzibar Blu apart is the personal touch from owner Kenneth Hunt who welcomes every guest as if you're stepping into his home. He's often there to help seat people, chat with patrons, and make you feel instantly comfortable. His vision for the space shines in every corner of the décor -- he handpicked authentic, fully functioning antiques and memorabilia (many of which he's said to have brought over from his childhood home in Philadelphia) that give the place a real story and personality. Live music is the heart of the experience here. There's always a mix of blues, talented local jazz musicians, and smooth sounds that keep the vibe lively yet relaxed. Whether you're celebrating a special night out or just craving something off the usual bar circuit of Daytona biker bars, Zanzibar Blu delivers. And if you're in town long enough, check out the Hunt House vacation rental upstairs -- Kenneth's other passion project that perfectly complements the speakeasy below. Highly recommend!!!

The food was delicious, but the drinks were what really stood out to me--they were creative, well-made, and definitely worth ordering. The service was excellent as well. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and drink menus and was able to answer all of our questions and make great recommendations. Between the views, the food, the cocktails, and the service, it made for a great experience. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Daytona.

Thankfully management replaced the dish immediately and was sorry for the inconvenience. But my family and I had to occasionally swat away these little flies every few minutes. The food was good, though in my opinion a little overpriced. Ambiance was slightly upscale, but most dressed casually. I personally wouldn't return unless the fly situation has been handled. Update: Husband showed signs of food poisoning. Will DEFINITELY not be back! And definitely don't get the shrimp linguine!

I came to McCoy's Rum Room while traveling solo in Daytona beach for a weekend (and was staying at…read morethe Hilton). I REALLY enjoyed my experience here. I felt it was difficult (within walking distance from the Hilton) to find nicer bars where you could lounge, enjoy the ambiance, and also have a nicer selection of wine and spirits. So I'm glad I (literally) didn't have to walk anywhere to enjoy exactly that. This is what made my experience at McCoy's Rum Room great: - I love the decor. The plush couches. The finishes and thoughtful touches they added (like the lighting and curtains). The space comes together nicely, is airy and spacious, welcoming and posh. - I liked (not loved) the drink list. The wine selection for red was on point, bubbly was a little low class, but the cocktail list seemed fun and I enjoyed a Raspberry Collins - Which the bartender was happy to accommodate my additional asks (less sugar, extra lime) and in general, he was SO friendly, attentive and nice. - They have a short but GOOD bar food menu that included bigger items (like burgers) and a nice selection of light bites (I had the hummus plate, which was really nice, and also quite inexpensive ($8) and LARGE). Good thing I was drunk and hungry. I really enjoyed this bar. I recommend it and when I come back to Daytona and stay at the Hilton, I'll definitely be back!
