Palm Pavilion Beachside Grill & Bar

I love this place, I love the vibe and awesome views. We stay close by when we visit (at the Palm Pavilion hotel) so we stop in here often...sometimes to grab a quick bite and often to have a drink. They have the BEST drinks on the beach!Wishing them all the best after getting hit by the hurricane and hopefully seeing you next year!

Welcome back to Palm Pavilion @Clearwater Beach! Amazing location with beach views, the friendliest sea gulls, too....watch your food, that's a given for this prime loc! The skinny, spicy margaritas are to die for! We loved the grouper tacos and people watching, as well.

Sooooo......the burger was really good and my margarita was excellent. My issue here was with the bar staff. All were very nice but not good at good service. They never once refilled my water glass and we were there from 7pm until 845pm. My wife order a drink, the bartender said coming right up and it never came. Had to ask 2 more times to finally get it. I'm still waiting for the cup of coffee I ordered ‍. Again, they were very nice and full of smiles but lack in the service piece.

This is definitely the perfect place to go after the beach or you're just not quite sure what to eat. I've been craving nachos for the longest time and my gosh did these nachos fulfill my cravings! Javi our waiter was super nice and gave us great drink recommendations. He was full with bright positive spirits. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside. We went at night but I could imagine that during the sunset that the view is beautiful

I have been coming to the Palm for years and it is a wonderful tourist spot with great views. There are of course locals that hang out there as there are limited spots on the beach that offer that type of view with such a large bar area and it is far less crowded than other places due to the amount of space they have there so you do not feel like you are crawling over each other just to get to your seat or get up to go to the bathroom. The offer live music throughout the day and night pretty much every day, at least there always has been someone while I have been there. On a hot day, it is great to get out of the sun and get an adult beverage while talking with the bartenders that are always friendly. At least they have been to me. Being a local it is definitely fun to see how small of a town Clearwater is as bartenders around the beach know everyone and everything it seems. Always entertains me. I will say that during my last visit this week I was sad to see that my favorite menu item is no longer on their menu... the crab legs. I know, I know, they have gone up in prize a lot since Covid but damn, it is the beach ya know.

We love the Palm pavilion and it's always one of our favorite locations to go to when in Clearwater Beach. Located right on the beach, with a public parking lot nearby. The food is always amazing and the service is great as well! Often times live music out on the deck area to the perfect ambience!

Delicious cheese burger in paradise?! Yes please!!! The views of the beach are wonderful, the live music is awesome, and the service is great. Loved this place and will return soon.

Great bar and location. Live music. Reasonably priced for right on the beach. My favorite.

For me, this was an underwhelming experience. But let's start with the positives: the staff was very friendly and accommodating, the beach view was beautiful, and my drink was delightful.The food was fine. It wasn't anything I'd come back for or recommend that someone else "must do" on their itinerary. The best thing was my cup of chowder off the appetizer menu. My tacos were loaded up well but left something to be desired taste-wise. The best ones were the chicken and fish. The chicken needed some seasoning and the r fish taco needed less sauce or slaw. My friends seemed to enjoy their meals more than I did mine. That included the nachos (app menu) with steak added, coconut shrimp, and a slice of key lime pie. I had a virgin mojito and it was perfect.A band set up on the patio while we waited for our food. Once they started up it was way too loud to talk without yelling...and the music wasn't excellent

I have mixed feelings about this place. The location is fantastic and really seems to be what keeps it popular. Every time we have been, they have live music as well. The food is generally okay--I usually go for the blackened island mahi mahi, which has good flavor and a decent portion size. We tried the nachos on a previous visit and loved them, but this time they fell flat. We did add steak, though, and the portion was generous. The drinks are overly sugary, almost to the point of being undrinkable. It's best to stick with basic options like a skinny margarita, Tito's with soda, or beer, as the specialty drinks are overly sweet and seem to lack alcohol. The service is consistently good, and although it's usually busy, the large space almost always has a table available. The restaurant is entirely outdoors, including the "indoor" seating, which isn't air-conditioned, so you won't escape the heat. I really feel for the employees. I'd recommend this spot mainly for the location, but don't go in expecting a perfect experience.
