I am not a local, referred here by one however and it did not disappoint. Sure they serve burgers and beer but that's not all and unlike Dustin who reviews food he didn't have I can say that their meat loaf best I have ever had!! Pork quesadillas was awesome. Wife had the grouper and loved it. Drinks were amazing! Ellie was our waitress and she was awesome. Place is very clean and friendly. read more

Amazing food and service Would go back again! Great selection of beer. The meatloaf was the best I've ever had! read more

The menu is pretty limited and consists mostly of classic bar food, but everything was fresh, the restaurant was clean, and the service was great. Our waiter was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the medium-well steak with fries, and for bar food, I have to give them credit--the steak was cooked perfectly. The fries could have stayed in the fryer a little longer for my taste, but they were still good. As a Louisiana girl, I'm pretty picky when it comes to food, and it's hard to impress me outside of my home state. That said, this place did a solid job. The real star of the show, though, was my drink! It was a non-alcoholic beverage infused with 5 mg of THC. I can't remember the name, but it was refreshing, flavorful, and a fun alternative to a traditional cocktail. read more

Went at lunch time on a Saturday. Food 7/10 Beer selection 9/10 Mac and cheese was pretty solid, burger and fries were pretty good as well. Fish was overcooked I would've given it a 4 but the chairs were so uncomfortable that I couldn't wait to leave. read more

I really loved my food, others at my table too had crispy fries. My drink had THC and I was amazed by the taste and the effects. The service was well. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu. read more

Dinner here is one of my favorites in the area. The food is always on point and the drinks are delicious. The hot honey sandwich and the grilled cheese being among our favorites. If you are local, don't forget to tell the waiter! Great low key dinner in a touristy place. read more

The Craft Bar in Destin is tucked away in one of the many shopping centers. The one we went to is right at the heart of Destin, at the intersection of 98 and 293. It must be part of a chain because there is one if Miramar as well. The restaurant is a pretty standard bar and grill. It has a nice selection of beers and alcohol. As its name suggests, it features a good selection of craft beers from Florida and neighboring states. The standout food is the burgers, and it is the reason we came here. My dad likes seafood, but he can tire of it. For one night in town he just really wanted a burger. This spot definitely did the job. It also ended up being a good choice for our kids as they are more likely to eat burgers/chicken strips than shrimp and tilapia. The service was fine, I don't really remember it which means it wasn't bad or particularly good. I will note that there were some good happy hours and specials listed. I think if we had hit that up my rating would have gone from 4 to 5 stars. Otherwise this is a decent, if somewhat average burger and bar joint. However sometimes what you just want is a reliably good burger and beer. read more

We enjoyed our visit! We had great service...super friendly and attentive. Food was delish! Pretzels were large and hot! The burger was ahhhhhmazing! Whatever the meat blend is...CHEFS KISS! The fish sandwich was grouper and huge! Definitely recommend a visit! read more

My 27 year old son ordered steak fritts and was a mess. The steak had no taste and was served over fries and them poured gravy to creat a soupy mess. I ordered fish tacos and is beside me how you can screw that up. They cooked the mahi mahi until it was petrified. Never again. read more

Excellent! Hubs opted for the pimento burger (medium) and prepared perfectly. House cut fries are terrific. I opted for the Hot Honey Chicken Sammy with ginger slaw and pineapple. Perfection. Fries were delicious and the salt was SO good. We loved the pickled onions and how the tomatoes were prepared on each salad. We each ordered a craft beer. Did not disappoint. Excellent service and food! Highly recommend. read more

Great place to chill and feel mildly sophisticated during happy hour (2-6pm). I had a cherry bourbon smash that tasted like regret with a garnish, but the buttered bourbon old fashioned? Chef's kiss--ordered a second without shame. The burger looked amazing, cooked perfectly, juicy as hell... and then bam--flavor exit stage left. Apparently seasoning was on vacation. Maybe the missing grilled onions were the flavor saviors? Who knows. Overall, solid spot. Just BYO salt or use a lot of theirs. lol read more

It may have been crowded but it wasn't "that crowded," however with no space at the bar... and as a single... I walked back to the hostess. There were tables available. She pointed to a postage stamp of a wooden table (seriously not even 2' by 2' and said "you can sit there on that bench" ... I looked at vacant tables... "um no".... "Well I can 'probably' get you seated in about 45 minutes"..... now they probably don't care they've lost a customer "forever".... But I not only felt discriminated against (single/old doesn't matter)... I felt unwelcome. Two stars is a gift (I've had their burgers, hence the stars... they're good...but not this "put up with your s&$t good..." read more

Food and craft beer were absolutely amazing! Service was average and food came out pretty quick. Just know that items on happy hour list may not be what is on menu. Example, we ordered beer belly pork pouting from menu thinking it was happy hour item and were charged nearly twice what we expected. Turns out happy hour dish dooes not bclude pork and I needed to specify that equest when ordering. My bad. I should have made it clear I thought I was ordering from the happy hour menu. Otherwise, I was very happy with the food. My hat is ff to the chef! read more

This review is for the Craft Bar on 98 in Destin, not the one on Commons Drive. Our party of 6 arrived at 5:00 on a Monday (Burger Night) in November. It wasn't crowded. We sat down and within a few minutes a server brought us 6 glasses of ice water. That was basically the last time we saw him. 20 minutes passed and no one returned to the table. We packed up and headed to McGuire's. read more

Monday night $9 hamburgers! And not just little fast food hamburgers. They were amazing burgers! And so many to choose from. It was so nice to go to Destin and have a dinner under $100. The beer was good and so many choices on tap. My in-laws had the Que burger and loved it. I had the bistro burger and everyone agreed mine was delicious! Highly recommend if you are visiting! Service was great! A little warm in the restaurant so don't overdress. read more

We wanted a break from seafood and asked our beach guy for a good burger place. Best burger ever. Will definitely add this to our favorites when we are in Destin read more

Food was good! I had the fried shrimp and really enjoyed it. Service was pretty good, definitely a burger place. I would avoid the chicken.

Such a nice, relaxed gastro bar to enjoy good food, conversation, and a cold draft beer! The wine selection is also great. We ordered the Craft Bar Burger with fries -- absolute perfection, with smoky flavors, a juicy medium-rare patty, and melty Gouda cheese. The fish & chips were also delicious. The staff members were extremely friendly and even recommended different places to visit as tourists, which made the experience even better. Overall, just a really good spot to hang out and unwind. read more

Great service, ok burger, but the fries were extremely overfried - not edible. The place is probably best for beer, not food.

This is the Craft Bar on 98. Went in for Happy Hour specials and 40% off oysters... , Take note they were not busy... Ordered the oysters for appetizers, bartender never checked on them..Apparently the runner gave them to someone else.. so never got them..rest of the meal was just ok.. Kind of pricey for Happy Hour specials. We had our food, with no silverware. Can't say I would recommend this place. It was much better as the Beach Camp.. this establishment needs to get their act together.. read more

Start to finish, it was amazing. The burger and truffle fries were a 10/10. The bartender was fantastic!

This place is an amazing Gastropub! The drinks, and food were delicious! We sat at the bar and the service and vibe were fantastic! read more

Great experience. The lamb burger was great. The pulled pork slider was great. I don't enjoy pulled pork but theirs was delicious. I dumped an extra side of grilled onions on it to make it better to balance out the game flavor and cut the feta just a little. read more

We came by Thursday around 6pm and it was packed! It was a nice day out and all of the tables on the patio were pretty much all full. The inside ambiance was pretty dark but around the bar it was lively. Our waitress was lovely and accommodating. Our food came out fairly quickly and was fresh and delicious. It was one of the first times we came for dinner. We usually come for brunch! The tuna BLT was so flavorful and something different for me. My husband had the meatloaf. He said it was delicious and there was plenty of food. We will be back again to try some other items on their menu. read more

Popped in pretty late one night for dinner and our experience was top-notch! We sat outside on the patio as the weather was lovely. Waiter was super sweet, knowledgeable, and was readily available whenever we needed her. For drinks, I ordered the tequila mockingbird (recommended by our waiter) and it was so good! Sweet without being diabetes in a cup while also being strong. We also ordered the Mac and cheese bites, fish and chips, and the lamb burger. Everything was delicious! We were so hungry however that I forgot to take pictures of everything! We'll for sure we back next time we visit Destin FL! read more

We wanted something casual after driving all day and stumbled across this place. It was self seating and were able to get a table easily. Service was good but fairly slow since there was only one waiter serving all the tables inside and outside. They have a BIG selection of draft beers, wine and cocktails. The food was good. The Que Burger had good flavor and they cooked it to the right temp that was asked for. The Sushi Grade Tuna Niçoise salad was good but interesting. It came with potatoes in the salad (which I didn't realize when ordered) they weren't crunchy enough to be put into a salad and I don't think they belonged unless they were fried up more to more crunchy like a crouton. It also had green beans that I wish would have been pickled and would have added more acidity and flavor to the salad. The tuna and rest of the salad was great. read more

Having "craft" and "gastropub" in the name of a dining establishment sets certain expectations and this place fell WAY short. My husband ordered The Craft Bar burger​ medium. It was rare. It took a while to flag someone down to ask for it to be prepared medium. The second burger took a long time to come out and while the temperature was better, it was very bland for being a signature burger. I ordered The Side Bar which is four sides. Again, there is an implication that the sides would be equal in size. Nope. Two normal sized sides and two in tiny ramekins that are usually reserved for sauces. The bitty serving of mac and cheese was the best thing by far which isn't saying a lot. I learned that you CAN mess up mashed potatoes and calling green beans "haricots verts" doesn't mean they are going to be good. The brussel sprouts were the worst I've had since my sister boiled some when I was five and made me try one to see if I liked it. I didn't. After driving 8 hours and being pretty hungry, The Craft Bar sounded like a great place to get some good, unique food at a decent price. All it did was fill a void. What a disappointment. read more

Food was great! Service was great! We will definitely be back! We got the pimento cheese burger and it was delicious!

We got there at 7pm and the staff rushed us to order and once we got our orders at 8pm the staff wanted us to hurry and seemed to pressure us to leave. The patio is nice but everyone seemed to be pressured by staff to head out. The food looked great but it wasn't that good and the service was bad. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

This is our 2nd time here and it sucks. Took 15 mins to get someone to acknowledge us. The food and service wasn't the greatest, overcooked the food. What's the point on asking how we want it if you won't cook it the way we want it. We're locals and will not return. read more
