Juana's Pagoda

The location and look of this place is really nice on the water with a tropical tiki hut pagoda feel.  They make really weak and watered down drinks here and then $5.25 for a Red Stripe beer is just highway robbery.  This place is really hit or miss and the crowd varies from the geriatric crowd to way young.  It seems to often have lots of obese people of all ages present.  There always seems to be a mix of locals and tourists and sometimes they play nice together and sometimes not.  They usually have some mediocre to awful band playing here and it can get mildly interesting to see what tune they will crank out next.  They also have a weird separate pagoda that is sometimes a dance club and sometimes a sports bar.  The men's bathroom always smells like ass so just expect that.  There are some fun and interesting nights here but on average this is a pretty boring spot but its one of the hottest spots in Navarre so keep your expectations low and bring your own friends and you can have a lot more fun.  I strongly suggest getting hammered on the beach before venturing here though as the drinks are way overpriced and weak unless you can stumble into one of their specials.

Visited this place our last night at the beach. Atmosphere was beachy fun, but that's where the compliments end! The food was a terrible waste of calories. We ordered a pizza, conch fritters, and a grilled shrimp plate. I have had better pizza at a convenience store, the shrimp were rubbery overcooked, and the conch fritters were minimal conch and all fritter ($10 hush puppies in other words). The service was so bad we almost left without getting our ticket! I have heard good things about the breakfast there, but needless to say I wasn't tempted to return. The drinks are EXPENSIVE! $8.50 for a 6 oz. vodka and cranberry juice served in a throwaway plastic cup.

We've been going here for years after moving back to the area in 2004. The place has a great, casual, beach vibe which is great for unwinding and watching the sunsets from their huge deck. Three bar areas allow for great people watching and the decks overlook five volleyball courts which sometimes have some great games going on. Bartenders are great and friendly and pay attention to their customers. Owners and senior staff always seem to be around making sure things are in tip top shape.  The new dance club that they added last year brings a slightly different clientele from a couple of years ago, young club kids looking to get down on the dance floor. Live music varies widely with some great bands booked during the warmer months.

The food is good which is delivered to your table/bartop from the Sailor's Grill next door. Pizza is awesome!  Get the Chicken PIzza with feta and sun-dried tomatoes. Yum!!  Liquor prices aren't the cheapest in town but this place offers the whole package!  Right on the intracoastal waterway, you can rent boats, jetskis, bikes and the kids can play in the playground.  We own a local business and always recommend this place to our customers when asking for 'what's to do?' in Navarre.
