Beach offers some of the very best in live entertainment and daily specials. Catch a burger and a beer at “Ten Dollar Tuesdays” where each month you can grab a combo burger and beer for only $10. This month you can enjoy one of these amazing burgers –Cajun Burger, (just in time for Mardi Gras) the All American Burger, or the Doughnut Burger, my personal favorite.

Every Wednesday, join Beach for their “Sunset Karaoke” at their outdoor bar located on the bay at Bay Harbor Hotel.

“Family night” is Thursdays in our restaurant and their outdoor patio overlooks the pier and bay with live bands starting at sunset. Don't forget the “Weekend Sunset shows” (Thursday, Friday and Saturday’s) featuring local bands and tropical favorite music. The indoor and outdoor restaurant also hosts a spectacular show every night at sunset, hosting perfect views of the water.

If by chance, you fall in love with Beach restaurant like I did, they offer private rooms as well, which are perfect for large groups. They offer dining room tables up to 30 and private rooms for 30 and up. They also offer standing events from 20 up to 1000 people with indoor backup space and up to 3000 people outside.
