We have been coming here for years and the owner is great! Can't believe I just tried the scooter wings today but they were the BEST wings I've ever had. The new bar out back is a great addition and my family enjoys our time at Peanuts! It's a no frills, great company and fantastic drinks! A classic dive bar feel with nostalgic decor and decent prices. You can come off the beach and enjoy a cold one with the awesome bartenders! read more

Peanuts Restaurant & Lounge - American Near Me - New Smyrna Beach, Florida

An incredible spot for a chill day out. My fiancé and I came for New Year's Day looking to continue our tradition of wings, beer, and football. Peanuts was the best spot in NSB to post up and watch some football. The bartender, Danny (a local celebrity I'm told) and all the staff, was so friendly and inviting. The regulars there are just as friendly, we made fast friends here. The wings are INCREDIBLE, and definitely using handmade sauces. We had the old bay dry rub, hot garlic, and the sweet and tangy sauce wings, they were crispy and delicious! Drinks and food are affordable. I'd come back for the staff and the vibes alone, but the delicious food is an added bonus. P.S: the back patio on a beautiful day is where it's at. The outdoor space heaters (for the few chilly days we get) and tvs are a wonderful new addition! read more

The old guy with the hat and beard was very rude, however, the other lady bartender was great with customers. Food was very average, drink selection was decent. With so many options on flagler ave customer service goes a long way. There are many any other spots to grab a drink and some food around this area. read more

Fun little beach town bar. We love the bingo/auction on Tuesdays. Dive bar for sure. Great gathering place after a day of sun & fun.

We love this place. But the music is WAY TOO LOUD at 4 in the afternoon. You can't even speak to one another. Just turn it down a little. Especially during dinner hours. Crank it up later before the band shows up, but bleeding ears is no fun. read more

The open mic night was great and the crowd was welcoming I did not try the food because they did not serve food after 9pm on Sunday night. The parking was easy out back and they had a smoking section as well. I hope this food issue was not the norm I saw a lot of drunk patrons leaving and getting in their cars to drive home. read more

See all

Good luck hopping on the pool table. Bouncer doesn't know what's going on and can't figure shit out.

My husband and I, my parents, along with my niece and her boyfriend recently stayed near Flagler Ave, our first visit to the area. We love dive bars, and this place is the true definition of such and is the only one of its kind on Flagler Ave. This tended to be the busiest place on the street and was obviously frequented by locals along with tourists. At first we liked the bar because it was the only one we could find nearby with gambling machines, plus the divey look and feel. Unfortunately at this busy bar, we had two completely unprovoked negative interactions on two separate occasions, both parties having been very inebriated locals seemingly looking for a fight. One episode was with a mean older couple (literal band groupies) who thought my niece was stealing one of their chairs at the bar (just as she was attempting to pay our bill and leave, with us standing behind her); the woman pushed my niece out of the way of the seat, proceeded to be rude and demeaning to her despite our repeated attempts to explain we're paying the bill to leave, and not trying to steal their seats or obstruct their view of the band located just behind us. The interaction was quite comical. The other episode was with a middle aged man that was incredibly scary and too much to relay here. My point is that I don't doubt that this unprovoked meanness and inappropriate negativity, potential violence happens routinely here. While I understand the aforementioned has nothing to do with Peanuts itself--there are no reasons that I can find that would make me want to return. Staff weren't consistently attentive and easily ignored those waiting to get a drink, plus the slots didn't pay out much. There are plenty of friendlier and safer places to have fun along Flagler Ave. read more

Familiar with NSB but had not been to Peanuts previously. Definitely a must. Wings advertised as the "best" so of course we had to try. I have to say really are! Meaty and crisp. Service by Ashley and Mike was great as well. Dive bar with tons of tvs and outside area also that has its own bar and tables. A must try. read more

I am gonna go on my rant, and I'm gonna keep doing this until BRANDON is fired. I am a customer that comes in at least 5 times a week. I spend a lot of money between drinks, food and the slot machines. And I tip extremely well . I was in there today I asked a simple question. "Is the USA still in the soccer matches" Because I'm a little naive about what's going on. Needless to say, BRANDON THE MANGER WAS SHITFACED, he went off on a rant. How uneducated i was and I need to research. And he called me I IGNORANT, HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING THAT BAR AND HE TREATS A CUSTOMER LIKE THAT IS INEXCUSABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE.it's bad enough that he did that so everybody can hear it, but the fact that it was a drunk manager that's supposed to be in charge of THE RESTAURANT IS DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR NO EXCUSES. YOU CAN STAND UP FOR HIM AND BACK HIM UP ALL YOU WANT BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. and I don't wanna hear it from you brandon fans.The DOUCHE GAG was wrong period so I will never drop another dime.In that bar again. And I know it'll have no impact on their daily activity, but I am going to trash peanuts like you like they've never seen before. And I'm going to post this everywhere, possible. read more

This place is a joke, came to enjoy bike week and used the restroom and the bouncer broke in because the patron said we took to long.. strait trash! Pushed me out of bar for 2 minutes in the bathroom! What a joke read more

Great karaoke night. Bartenders are great. I highly recommend this place. Come on down for a great time.

Fun, good prices on drinks, always has a great Band. Saw Lounge Lyzards, they were EXTREMELY good.

Fun place. Friendly bar staff. Lots of TV's for watching sports. Open air right on Flagler Ave. 3 pool tables and outdoor patio. Live music most evenings I've been here. Fun atmosphere and fun people . Worth stopping in for a beer or twelve. read more

Stopped in here for a drink on a Sunday evening and had a good time. They had a band and were hosting an open mic night. They played some nice tunes and the crowd was enjoying it. We sat at a table and service was great. read more

The bar manager is very unprofessional and rude. My friend and I used to be regularly visiting as we are local, just stopped in to have a beer from the beach and he very rudely shouted at us we needed to purchase something first. Listen, we are women and sometimes you need to go, especially if you're at the beach! I'll never go back! read more

I didn't have any food here during my visit because the kitchen wasn't opening until 5. My experience here was good. I had a beer and checked out the place.. The bartender girl was very nice. It's listed as a sports bar but has more of a biker feel to it but don't be intimidated by that... Check it out. It looks like they also have live music because they have a stage read more

Came here for lunch today. Wife had the codfish sandwich with fries. She said it was very good. I had the bleu cheese and bacon burger, garlic Parmesan wings and a side salad. I ordered the bleu cheese burger rare and that is how it came out. While a bit salty for my taste (I use very little salt) it was very good. Garlic parmesan wings were very good. Side salad was nice and fresh. All in all a very good experience. read more

Had a fish sandwich today. While the fish tasted ok, the portion was minuscule. I expected more for $15! Used to be a great place under previous owner. Too bad. read more

The service was so bad, the burger was absolutely disgusting, but worst of all was the bloated ketchup packets that came with our meal. The packets bloat due to BACTERIA that causes the ketchup to ferment. This can make someone extremely sick! DISGUSTING!!! read more

Once, the Sunday night music was great here at Peanuts. Now it's the same boring thing every week. There were some great hosts in the past. Joe Payne for one. Now they have this hockey mom that prooves she has the most testosterone in the room every few minutes. Worse yet you have to listen to her kid play the same solo the same way on every song....maybe 30 solos. Skip this and save your music and entertainment for somewhere else. If you're a player it goes double....like the drink prices are double too come to remember read more

Unreal bad service. Got a Tito's double for twenty dollars (lol) and after taking it back because it was literally just soda water, the *manager* "Kayla" (definitely a fake name) me that she couldn't replace it because it has been twenty mins since I ordered (I hadn't drank it immediately) the drink. When I said that I would tip again or whatever the lady said and I quote "we're just here to make money" I respect the realness but, that's the most abysmal service I've ever received. How can you not just eat the 5 bucks and remake the drink to secure repeat customers. read more

Ok I was actually super impressed with this spot! My boyfriend has been wanting to stop by here, so we did after a day at the beach with friends. The bar was your typical beach bar space. There were plenty of people watching football (it was a Sunday) and the atmosphere was your average loud and exciting space. The menu wasn't huge, but my expectations were blown out of the water. Our waitress was very attentive and nice. She always got refills and perfectly placed our order as a table of four from memory. For an appetizer, we got the Mexican street corn dip. I can't recommend it enough! The portion was large and it was so so tasty! It was cheesy and had all the flavors of elote. Plus, the tortillas for dipping were freshly fried. Everything was obviously made in house and it was so good. For mains, I actually got two apps. I got the Buffalo chicken tenders and tots. My boyfriend got 10 wings in a ghost honey sauce that he raved about. Our friends each got burgers. Everything was perfectly prepared, obviously fresh, and so so tasty. Even for bar food, I was really impressed. I also felt like the food had good value because the prices were decent and the portions were huge. We are definitely coming back next beach trip! I was so excited to eat, I even forgot to snap some pics of the food haha. Don't over look this hidden gem! read more

Only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is the little female bartender working Thursday night the 28th was as rude as coyld be! She shoud not be working customer service industry! ordered drinks for the couple next to me and she says, they have to order it! who the F has ever heard of this shit! I just ordered it, get it! make some money for you and the bar! Management needs to take a serious look at her and her attitude and encourage her to find another place of employment! Will be back but WON'T be sitting where she will be working! read more

FIRE MEL!!! stopped in with our group of friends, started off with karaoke and drinks. friend accidentally got bumped and dropped his bottle of beer. He then offers to help clean the glass up, He also picked the large pieces of glass up and places aside. Mel the waitress was so rude to him. She kicks him out and tells the waitress to cash our tabs out. we will not return!!!! she needs to be kicked out. read more

This is a special place. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in NSB you must come here! Anytime is a good time here. But I must add...these are my people. I hope they will be yours too. Be nice or leave. read more

Went last Friday night with friends who were renting a house in town and heard a great live band. Even saw an old license plate which belonged to me from 2003 on the wall. Drank Bacardi and ginger, had the fried mozzarella, and danced with a few of the local ladies before the volume of the music got to be too much. Definitely going back next time I'm in New Symrna Beach read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Worse bar I've ever been too. do not recommend. A bartender named Mil kicked out 15 of us for a drunk person knocking my 2nd beer out of my hand. Very very very upset about this. I asked multiple times to clean it up and explained the situation and still kicked us out.... would highly recommend to not go here... Manger DID NOTHING!!!!!! read more

This was a fun little bar where the locals seem to go to play pool, listen to live music, or play trivia (on one of the trivia boxes against other bars, not a bar wide host). The drink prices are reasonable ($4-$6 for a beer) and it's a great combination of dive and local hangout. read more

This is a smokers bar. It was grandfathered in to allow smoking. It's really a shame because they do have good music and other events but there is no way I'd eat there and I'm glad they only serve drinks in plastic cups cause at least I know they're clean! The place has a general feeling of being grimy, just look at the windows to see what I mean. So enjoy the music have a drink and a dance but skip the food and if you don't like to be in a smokey place I would recommend you stay away. This place has become a non smoking venue! Much more enjoyable, cleaner and the music has always been fun. read more

I am a local and I would like peanuts if the beer wasn't so damn high price for a domestic light. I want to go watch the dualing pianos, but this dark dive overcharges so I will miss it. 2 stars for the $5 burgers weekdays till 4. But since I am at work then I miss out. Clean the place up add some specials for us poor folk ;) I know it is an expensive location. Just being honest, tho read more

Number one dive bar on Flagler this place provides a great place to meet up with friends for a few drinks and conversation the wings are good and the bands are awesome this place is the happening place on the weekends. The service has always been good and they pour great drinks. Remember where you are it's a local hangout in a small beach town with lots of tourist we love it and apparently it works because everyone wants to be here it can get crowded and loud and that a place of the experience If you're in town on vacation enjoy the local vibe you should experience it. If you're looking for a family low key restaurant this is not that place. read more

I am torn with this review because I want to give the food four stars and the waitresses 1. We went twice during our July 4th trip. First time I got pizza and wings. Pizza didn't come for two of us, waitress made a mistake. So by the time I got my pizza, I had eaten wings and was stuffed. What a waste the pizza was delicious. Then check time, the waitress got two bills extremely mixed up. We did not sit by our boyfriends which did make it confusing, but I still don't understand how extra items that were never ordered we were charged for. Then when we they tried to tell the waitress, she refused to listen and finally said, "Well I don't want you guys getting mad so I'll take it off". NOOOOO, you should take it off because this person never ate pizza and this other person didn't eat pizza either. That was definately the wrong thing to say. In the end, it still wasn't resolved. A gin and tonic ended up costing one person 3 dollars and 12 dollars for another. Waitress was rude. Went again another night to play pool, a different waitress but flighty as well. But dang that spinach artichoke dip and homemade chips were yummmyy! I guess I might go again and hope I don't get the two waitresses from before. read more

They have 2 tequilas a house and patron no Malibu rum like really you are a bar close to beach and don't have v cch hoices! Go to breakers!

I have never set foot in this place before tonight, and when I got in there they made me feel like family. Seriously, it was such a wonderful experience. And they had a band playing that would open up to other musicians to play along and the vibe was just perfect. Thanks so much guys for the absolute best Sunday I could ever have hoped for! read more

We came for the live auction on Tuesday night and It. Was. Awesome!!!!! They have over 200 items that they auction off, and its so entertaining. We walked away with a game of Balderdash, baseball cards (clearly not the girls bid), a picture and a little radio with moving lips...high light of the evening folks for $3! This is not a high end establishment and thats what makes it so great. Minuses- you can still smoke in here, which is gross. Come for the entertainment...you wont be disappointed!! read more

I would not recommend this place. It was hot and smelly and the food was awful. The burgers were so overcooked, you could play hockey with them(and we asked for medium rare). My ahi tuna was also overcooked. The service was mediocre at best. read more

extremely rude customer service. came over to ask for id & before it could be pulled out, was told to get out then was threatened to have the cops called all in a matter of 30 seconds. read more

We're locals and stop in to play pool / listen to live music a few times a year. The bartender is the absolute worst in town! He ALWAYS acts as if he's doing you a favor waiting on you. Last night there was a young dark haired girl behind the bar and she literally stood in front of me taking her time drinking a cup of water. I waited and waited and she never bothered to wait on me! Our group of 7 got great service from the blond and a newbie in the pool table area. I've always thought the guy might own the bar & can do as he pleases however we asked & ghats not the case. FYI out of our group every one of us has experienced issues at different times over the years with this bartender- he should be fired! If it weren't for the pool tables and some good bands we wouldn't bother going to Peanuts! read more

I checked out Peanuts to watch a football game. They have lots of big screen TVs, so it was a decent option. I ended up going to Flagler's Tavern, though, because there were more lunch options -- the menu at Peanuts is pretty limited to basic bar food. Later in the week, we stopped in for a late drink. It was early December and a little slow, but we had a good time. The bartenders were friendly and helpful. They offer a TV-based trivia game you can play from the bar, but mostly we talked with some of the locals. It seemed like a fun place, but they did close up early, probably because it was a slow time. read more
