Your Guide to Flagler Beach's Best Dining and Bars , Steps from Bombora - Wix

Can you smell that? It’s the scent of Salty air mixed with the faint, mouth-watering aroma of garlic and grilled seafood drifting down A1A.

Welcome to Flagler Beach, where the vibes are retro, the buildings are low-rise, and the dining is, dare I say, spectacular. One of the best things about staying at Bombora Oceanfront Suites isn't just the fact that you’re waking up to 180-degree Atlantic views (though, wow, that never gets old). It’s the fact that you are literally steps away from the heart of our town's culinary scene.

Forget about hunting for parking or nominating a designated driver. When you stay at Bombora, your "commute" to dinner involves a leisurely stroll along the sand or a quick walk down the sidewalk.

Before we dive into the full list, let's talk about the ultimate pre-game. Whether you’re staying in our 3-bedroom Penthouse or a cozy 1-bedroom suite, you have access to our shared ocean-side patio. It is the place for a Morning Coffee or an Evening Cocktail as the sky turns shades of cotton candy pink. Why pay for a view at a bar when you have the best one right here?

But when the hunger really kicks in, here is your insider guide to the best Flagler Beach restaurants and bars within walking distance of your suite.

The Breakfast & Brunch Crowd

Crave’s Coastal Kitchen Looking for that perfect start? Crave is just a short hop away and offers that upscale-yet-relaxed vibe we all crave on vacation. Think fresh ingredients, creative coastal twists, and a Coffee that hits just right. It’s the kind of place where you can linger over a brunch and actually feel the vacation stress melting away.

Oceanside Beach Bar & Grill If you want to feel the ocean breeze while you eat your eggs, this is it. Oceanside is a Flagler staple. Their service is legendary for being Friendly, and their breakfast menu is massive. Did I mention their lobster rolls? They serve them all day, and yes, they are as good as people say. It’s postcard-worthy dining at its finest.

Casual Eats & Iconic Beach Bars

Funky Pelican You can't come to Flagler Beach and not visit the Pier. The Funky Pelican sits right on the edge of it, perched over the sand. It’s the spot for a "Florida Reuben" and a cold beer while you watch the surfers catch a few waves. It’s noisy, it’s fun, and it’s quintessentially "Flagler."

Golden Lion Cafe This place is an institution. Voted one of the best beach bars in the country, the Golden Lion is where you go for Live Music and that classic open-air feel. Their fish and chips are award-winning, but honestly, people stay for the atmosphere. It’s just steps from the dunes, making it an easy pit-stop during your beach day.

Finns Beachside Pub Want to get a little higher? Head to the second-story deck at Finns. The views of the Atlantic are incredible. It’s a laid-back Pub vibe where you can grab a burger, a cold drink, and just watch the world go by on A1A. It’s the definition of "Beach Time."

Tortugas Florida Kitchen & Bar Tortugas brings a bit of that island flair to our shores. It’s vibrant, colorful, and the perfect spot for a group of friends. Their menu is a mix of American classics and seafood with a tropical twist. If you’re looking for a spot that feels like a party, this is your place.

Serious Seafood & Local Favorites

Flagler Fish Company For the seafood purists, this is a must-visit. It’s half-market, half-restaurant, which tells you everything you need to know about the freshness. Try the "Chowda" or whatever the local catch of the day is. It’s sea-to-table at its best. It’s a bit more of a "foodie" spot than a "bar" spot, but it never disappoints.

The NET by George Just a little further down, you’ll find The NET. It’s one of those local secrets that travelers are starting to discover. It’s a bit quieter than the rowdy beach bars, making it perfect for a family dinner where you actually want to hear each other talk. The seafood? Simply excellent.

The Cajun Beach Looking for a little kick? The Cajun Beach brings those bold, spicy Louisiana flavors to the Florida coast. It’s a fun change of pace from the standard fried fish baskets you find elsewhere. Bold spices, generous portions, and a whole lot of soul.

Upscale Dining & Date Nights

Next Door Beach Bistro If you’re celebrating something special (or just want to treat yourself because, hey, you’re on vacation!), Next Door Beach Bistro is the top-tier choice. It’s modern, chic, and has an incredible wine list. It’s a bit more refined: think "bistro vibes" with an ocean view. Reservations are a smart move here!

FARO Beachside Eatery Sometimes you just need a really good Pizza. FARO is where Italian meets the beach. Their wood-fired style pizzas and fresh pasta are the perfect comfort food after a long day in the Surf and Sun. It’s casual enough for flip-flops but the food quality is high-end.

Why Bombora is Your Perfect Home Base

Flagler Beach isn't like those "concrete jungle" tourist traps. We’re a small, family-owned town, and Bombora is a small, family-owned property. When you stay with us, you aren’t just a room number; you’re our guest.

After you’ve stuffed yourself with seafood and enjoyed a few Sunset Cocktails, there is nothing better than the short walk back to your suite. No traffic, no noise: just the sound of the waves. You can check out our full gallery here to see the modern, cozy interiors that await you.

Whether you’re planning a family reunion or a romantic escape, being "steps from" the best food in town makes a world of difference. Why stay blocks away in a generic hotel when you can have a full kitchen, a sleeper sofa for the kids, and the Atlantic Ocean as your front yard?
