A Seaside institution since 1986 in the landmark New Urbanist planned community on the Florida Panhandle’s 30-A corridor, Bud and Alley’s is one of the most consistently acclaimed and most beloved waterfront restaurants on the Gulf Coast: fresh local Gulf seafood with a sophisticated, farm-to-table approach, a thoughtful wine and cocktail program, and the rooftop Taco Bar overlooking the Choctawhatchee Bay that has become a Seaside ritual. The 30-A community is extraordinary; Bud and Alley’s is its most enduring culinary institution.
Worth pairing with the rest of beach bars across Florida.
