Bobby’s Bar – Vero Beach Florida – Old School Charm

We read a review of Bobby’s Bar & Restaurant that said, “Now, this IS old school!”. We second that assessment.

You walk into a huge bar, rectangular in shape, that seats probably two dozen people, except at happy hour when the locals come strolling in. They barely get in the door before someone is waving them in to eventually a standing-room-only crowd.

Two middle-aged gentlemen were tending the bar very efficiently, with the right amount of dry humor. You could guess they had been doing this their whole lives.

The decor, the bar, the middle-aged crowd – everything adds up to being very comfortable in Bobby’s Bar. You get the feel that you have been here before in some city, some state at another time. You are not sure where, but it has that feel.

Bobby’s Restaurant & Lounge 

While it was clear the attraction at the bar was the meeting and greeting with friends, co-workers, and neighbors, some guests wandered off into the two or three small dining rooms outside the bar area. The food is darn good for a local’s happy hour bar. Try the Delmonico Steak Sandwich and the Artichoke-Spinach Dip, which were our exceptional choices.

If there is a list for best beach happy hour, Bobby’s Bar would be at the top for old-school bar & restaurant with charm and great food.
