A Madeira Beach institution on Madeira Way, the Saltwater Hippie Beach Bar delivers cold drinks, live music daily, and the laid-back, welcoming energy of a bar that has earned its local following through genuine warmth and great vibes. The full liquor bar keeps prices reasonable; the food comes from the sister Italian restaurant next door at Frabottas; and the hidden back bar and outdoor stage, which you’d never know was there unless you ventured through, is where the real party lives on weekend nights. The tagline is Full Liquor, Live Music, Good Eats, Rad People and The Best Vibes, and the regulars who pack this place year-round would agree with every word. $3 Taco Tuesdays are the weekly ritual; the $10 Boozeday Burrito is the recent addition. A Madeira Beach must for anyone who wants their beach bar experience to feel genuinely local.
