8 Best Cocktail Bars near Niceville

“Wow! You pull up and it looks almost like a little hole in the wall. You enter and deliciousness GOES DOWN. Bae always picks a winner and this is no different. The star of the show is for sure one of the many preparations of grouper. I ordered the grouper Cadillac, I went with blackened grouper served atop Gouda grits and covered with shrimp etouffee. My partner ordered the grouper nantua which was grilled grouper over basmati covered with shrimp bisque. Both were so delicious we hurt ourselves trying to finish our dishes. Service was prompt and measured. We both ordered before dinner cocktails. I opted for an espresso martini and my partner went with the blackberry sangria. Both were perfectly executed. I ordered a sangria to go with my dinner because it was spicy. We took two slices of keylime pie to go and that was great too. 10/10 recommend!The young chefs are putting in that work!“

“Just had a wonderful experience at Bitterroot, will definitely be returning. The service was incredible, and the food was absolutely delicious-- everyone in my party loved their food, desserts included. Even the kids pizza was delicious. The cocktails were also divine. This is a wonderful place for Sunday brunch or date night. Very calming ambience.Parking: Large parking lot, plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: The kids menu includes cheese pizza, chicken tenders or a burger. The french fries are delicious!“

“This was our first time visiting, the food was very good and our waitress was phenomenal. I’m so upset I can’t remember her name because she deserves credit for making me and my family comfortable and just made the experience much more pleasant. I know it started with a K. It will come to me later but you should definitely check them out“

“Oh my goodness this is absolutely the best breakfast food my husband and I have ever eaten. He got a platter with a side of biscuits and gravy. The gravy is not a typical, American style gravy, it is unbelievable!!! I ordered the French Toast and the flavor is unlike anything you will ever try! I cannot put into words how delicious the food is!!“

“Had the best dinner on 98 by far! Everything was scrumptious, from the gyoza to the seabass, this was an exceptional meal. Service by Isabella was perfect, prompt & personable. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! Music was a touch loud but we still really enjoyed our experience.“

“We are locals but this is our first time here. We walked up to the sky bar grabbed a table and immediately greeted by Chelsea as our waitress. She was AMAZING! But wait there’s more, she was not the only one that checked on us. 2 other bartenders (Jorge and Shelby) also checked on us for water, extra drinks, anything we needed. Definitely a team atmosphere. The live music, adult only, and couches over the water are an incredible vibe. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend even if you have a big group. The views of the harbor with heaters and fire pit make it a great place to come year round.“

“The food here is excellent, however the wait staff not so much.This was my second visit and I couldn't wait to come back here, unfortunately I sat at the bar and my bartender wasn't happy or pleasant until literally the end of the night when the bar was empty.The manager is friendly but not the hostess, maybe it was an off night.I will go back, the food's that delicious, but hopefully an Italian restaurant would have some music going and warm friendly staff.Another thing I've noticed is that everything has changed with wait staff since Covid. Nobody seems to want to be there. Just an observation.Hopefully my next visit my server is happier.“
