Thursday is Ladies' Night, and ladies drink for free for $20. I hear they're very strict about sharing drinks and people get kicked out immediately, so be careful. However, other drinks are CHEAP, so you can buy rounds for your men without breaking the bank. I bought 4 beers for $9 and felt like a baller. AYCD includes any well drink or beer, and they are strong. I only got through a few of them, myself. The DJs are great and we had a lot of fun dancing... and there are also lots of places to sit and hang out. Unlike most other clubs, the bouncers are super laid back and you can come and go as you please. Stop by if you're in Destin and especially if you're a lovely lady; you won't be disappointed!

Our first trip we had Cindy as our waitress upstairs and she was amazing!! Request to sit next to the waters edge. We all loved watching the boats pass back and forth. 2nd visit was just as good! Our waitress again was amazing and so sweet when our toddler was sleepy from no nap. My oldest loved the pizza rolls, while the other two loved the Mac & cheese. The grilled shrimp skewer basket was hands down the best meal we had. The hush puppies are fresh and drool worthy. Fried fish basket was just as great! Live music played, we heard it can get louder at night, but they also have a downstairs that has a bigger menu with a quieter atmosphere. We can't wait to come back!

The overall…read moreatmosphere and sense of community that once made it feel welcoming have shifted in a way that's disappointing, the owner Matthew Monroe Bees should be ashamed of himself for this new direction. What used to feel like a safe and enjoyable space to relax and support performers no longer feels the same. It's especially concerning to see performers being treated in ways that feel punitive rather than supportive. Attempts to "fix" something that wasn't broken have altered the character of the establishment in ways that many longtime patrons notice. I truly hope ownership takes time to reflect and consider restoring the spirit and inclusivity that originally made this place special.

You can genuinely tell how much pride the team takes in their work and how much they enjoy coming up with fun, creative drinks. I'm not much of a bourbon drinker myself, but I have to appreciate their impressive bourbon selection and their bourbon wall is seriously beautiful! The whole place has such a laid back, welcoming vibe, and it's refreshing to find somewhere that feels a little more grown up and relaxed without being packed with a bunch of young kids. Definitely one of those spots you can sit back, enjoy a great drink, and take in the atmosphere! And if you're lucky, they may be playing Harry Potter on the projector!

But after what happened tonight, we won't be coming back unless serious action is taken. My wife politely asked if you had jelly shots, and after the bartender (Chris, with the beard) checked, she genuinely said, "Thank you for looking." His response? He turned around and called her a "salty piece of shit." Loud enough for others to hear. Absolutely disgusting. There is zero excuse for that kind of unprovoked, disrespectful behavior from someone representing your business. If your staff can't handle basic manners or show the slightest level of professionalism, they shouldn't be behind a bar, period. Chris should be fired immediately. If not, it says everything about how management tolerates abusive and misogynistic behavior toward women. We expect a response from management--either to apologize directly or to let us know what steps are being taken. Until then, we'll be taking our money elsewhere and making sure our friends do the same.

What I didn't like was having to "check in" and pay a cover at the entrance and get my hand stamped... this is fine for the youngsters, but at my age, I'm past this sort of mess and it was "telling" to me what kind of adventure we'd be into once inside. It's crazy loud in each room in this venue, so loud you couldn't really talk with those you were with. We even saw "youngsters" walk in, have the same difficulty and leave. I feel they could do a much better job with this place, but offering a great food menu which matched the themes of each room and by toning down the sound a little.

Pack of cigarette gays standing outside became very feisty when we decided to leave. Not a cute crowd. Bored, sex- hungry, wrinkled men harassing customers outside isn't a great ploy to bring in revenue. read more

Steel Pony Diner is also located in the same location. See my review for Steel Pony. Back to Dorothy's, their crafted cocktail menu changes every season. This Winter of 2026, the "Clouds Over Kansas" is probably one of the most creative craft cocktail. Now, it even taste better when you become the tornado. It is garnished with a spring of thyme (witch's broom) and STIR STIR STIR and become the TORNADO!!!!! I know, it is too pretty to stir, but it brings it to a different level. With this cocktail, it will reward you to become THE TORNADO! Everyday is a theme. Thursday is Karaoke night, Fri And Sat is a Dance party. I rarely give 5 stars unless they are at Michelin level.

Service - my drink never really went empty. The bartenders could make any drink you could imagine. They earned their 25% tip. Food - the drinks were stiff. I started with one of their house drinks - Curse of the Poppy. It was ok so I switched to a Tequila Sunrise. That was good. The smell coming from the food was very tempting but I had already eaten.
