Tides Beach Bar & Grille

Lovely bar on the beach in the Hampton hotel! Reasonable priced drinks with friendly bartenders! The drinks were pretty strong which is a great thing haha. We ordered the Tide Perfect Mai Tai & Elderflower Smash which the Mai Tai tasted like a sex in the beach on the fruity side and the Elderflower was more sweet & sour. Highly recommend if you are staying at the hotel or coming to the beach!

This is def a hidden little secret at the beaches. Located at the Hampton Inn and right on the beach, the scenery and the live music is amazing. Bartenders are so nice and quick. We sat at the cabana and enjoyed some great plates. The shrimp was fresh and seasoned perfectly. Mango salsa is spicy so proceed w caution there. Definitely go check this place out.

Good food from the restaurant available along with great views. The service was great with attention to detail!

Pretty standard beach bar at a connecting hotel with beach access and a basic food menu. 4 stars because the wait staff was a little lacking.

Fun spot right on the beach. Came here a few times during our visit. Nice bartenders who can make lots of different stuff and keep things moving. Really enjoyed my fish tacos for lunch. Great quesadilla and wings too. Yummy eats for sure and nice spot to grab a drink and enjoy the beach too. Weekends had live music outside as well. Love those beachy vibes all the way.

We wanted to have a drink on the beach that was child friendly, so my husband suggested Tides Beach Bar.We got there around 4:30 pm and it was pretty crowded, but not crowded enough where we couldn't find a hightop, which was awesome news for us.They were also having some happy hour specials $4 Bud Light, $4 Red Stripe, $4 16 oz. Kona. I originally wanted a frozen drink, but due to the bar being a bit crowded, I opted for something quicker and got a Kona.The Kona was cold and it's the first time I've seen it come in 16 oz. cans. Not necessarily groundbreaking news, but I was excited about it.The views were pretty good. You can see a bit of beach, but mostly dunes. There was a nice breeze and also a little "sand pit" for the kiddos or those that want to play cornhole.All in all it was a nice place to stop and have a drink.Pros:-Close to the beach-Variety of beer specialsCons:-I wish I could have seen more of the beachTips: Check out their happy hour specials.

Unfortunately after my experience this past weekend I'm going to have to lower my review for the Tides Beach Bar & Grill.I took my visiting friend from KY to the beach. I like to sit behind the Hampton Inn as they have this bar/restaurant right on the beach. We went up to have lunch and a few drinks. We placed our food and drink orders. We waited for our drink nearly 15 minutes. But our food took nearly an hour. We ordered a chicken quesadilla and french fries. We wanted chips and salsa but they were out of chips. Mind you it was Saturday afternoon around 2 PM. So we went with the fries. After about 40 minutes we started asking our server to check on our order. On several other occasions eating here prior I never waited longer than 20 minutes for food. We saw several people that ordered food after us be served. And we were told one of the couples was getting married in the hotel the following weekend. Not cool to jump food orders ever!The chicken quesadilla was delicious. The french fries were not hot because they had been waiting on the chicken quesadilla apparently. They comped our food and one drink each which was much appreciated. And I can't forget loved the live entertainment.I was also told there is a new GM managing the hotel. I hope you will read my review and make some changes quick or you're going to lose this local.

Positives:Food was excellent. Portion size was good.Staff was friendly. Negatives:Soft drink cups too small.Had to wait on refills.

Great atmosphere and great service. The drinks and food a perfect for a day at the beach.

Tides beach bar and grille has a great beach atmosphere, views and food. We had a couple of beers and great baskets: grouper sandwich and fried jumbo shrimp with onion rings and fries. The staff was very professional and courteous. Prompt service with food and drinks.
