Undertow Beach Bar

granted, the day i went to the undertow beach bar was a little rainy so perhaps its wasnt the best time to go to a beach bar but i was just a bit unimpressed. the best thing about the bar is that its on the beach beach. the crowd seemed a bit too adult springbreaky to me. service was ok, the girl behind the bar showed more skin than general emotion but she wasnt slow or rude. i understand this bar is under renovations so their kitchen is closed. i would like to see what happens after these improvements are done. i envision this as a nice spot on the beach for a beer and a fish sandwich. for sure.

This is an AWESOME beach bar.

The location is great. Watching the sunset while sipping a drink is so relaxing. Just another reminder of how wonderful Florida living is.

Added to it are relatively good servers. They're not insanely nice, but they are attentive and efficient. Even during Spring Break madness, they keep it together.

This bar also has volleyball courts set up and a few bars to choose from. There's a man that occasionally sets up his amazing BBQ food stand in the parking lot which is always a plus when he appears.

My only real complaint is the parking. It's a hot damn mess, and half the time, parking in the public lot is your best bet.

But otherwise, all good.

We expected more from a beach bar with 4 stars on Yelp, but we were disappointed. If the girls in fringed bikinis serving the drinks aren't a put off, the stale smoke smell, so-so drinks and absence of food will be.

At one point, a bikini-wearing bartender climbed up onto the bar and stepped over our drinks to fetch more liquor from the shelf overhead. Gross. Not what we came for.
