Food- they have a great selection of chips. I never had old bay potato chips before lol Service is 5 start and the people are so nice. It's walking distance from the beach. Ambiance is neighborhood hole in the wall but very kind people. read more

Bartender was extremely rude. My group of 6 people (all 23+ years old) walked in and went to the bar to order drinks. we were told "everyone give me IDs right now there is no way you're all 21". we did so and she proceeded to check them with a UV light (completely fair) but then she threw them across the bar and said "i'll throw them at you since that's what you did to me". we didn't. we had to slide them to her from across the bar since we weren't right in front of her. we were all sober and completely baffled about how she handled the situation. very weird, rude, and unprofessional. we left right after. read more

Me and my husband was visiting from SC and looked up a bar close to our hotel and decided to walk here. We were treated horrible in this place!! They were rude! I think it's more for locals cuz they are not welcoming. We definitely don't belong there just a heads up! We did get our drinks and left. I only gave them 2 stars because the bartender was nice and our drinks was OK. read more

Yaya's Beachside Bar is a dive bar that is a fun enough spot. The bar is smaller, but the service was friendly and the drinks were cold. And let's be honest, isn't that what we are looking for in a bar? If you are in the Daytona Beach Shores area, I would definitely recommend this particular bar out. read more

Well, it's not exactly beachside comma it's across the street maybe 100 or 200 yards away. But the staff is super nice, it's got a neat layout, nice collection of different beers and convenient parking. read more

Stay Clear. This place is horrible. Dirty place, staff doesn't give a crap about their customers. Ownership is greedy and prices are high.

The karaoke was on fire!! The dj was awesome and really made things fun!! The make bartenders were RUDE as F*K and no waiters or waitress to wait ON large tables. Needed to get pregnant girl out because she wasn't feeling good (pregnant with twins) needed to pay large table bill and kept being told I had to wait!!!! The bartender waited on ppl with one drink yes they needed to be waited on but we ended up having to take her to er. I kept telling him we needed to go like asap and please let me pay my bill. There's no food there but will let you bring food in to eat so we ordered pizza. It's a great karaoke bar but rude bartenders. I give the karaoke 10+ stars but the 2 make bartenders -10!!!!!!!!! read more

Yaya's Beachside Bar - He even took a picture for our Birthday photo scavenger hunt!!! - Dive Bars Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

We were in town for the race and went to check it out. It's a fun little bar to visit!

Interesting place. Very diverse crowd. Good karaoke. Great bartenders. They really like to have fun while working. I would go back. And recommend. read more

We had a blast. Not local, but we were treated great. Had a fun time with both Jennifer and Kate as shift changed. Sing some karaoke played some pool and had a great time. read more

Yaya's bar is a fun little hangout with karaoke and pool tables. We had the best time talking to the bartender and other people in the establishment. Broad age range attended karaoke and participated. read more

Not friendly to anyone that is not a local. I would not recommend coming here if you are not a local. If you are from the area you can expect free drinks, if you are from a diverse background expect long wait times and thee thimes the drike. read more

Greeted as soon as we walked in. Amazing service and kindness from our wait staff. Great recommendations on all kinds of drinks. It was karaoke night and these guests could sing! A fun place to just hang out, drink and play darts or pool. We will definitely be back when we are in town. We love Ya Ya's!! read more

Yaya's was a HIT. The bar itself is small and could use a refresher but the staff is full of Rockstars. Great service from pool table area, from DJ area, and from bar area on both shifts. We arrived a bit early for karaoke night so we had service from both shifts from all areas of the bar from about 5 pm to 1 am(ish). After a few great hours of pool and digital jutebox wars (you can out bid songs to bump your song up) the karaoke DJ came out and started the night off perfect, dude is a stud! The first 30-30 singers were polished performers with great songs and got the crowd going. Even three of the guys in our 12 person group rocked the mic hard #TheCoach #Strokin #IceIceBaby We will return here for sure, keep the fun times rolling and the drinks flowing. PS I think the drinks are a little cheaper if you get there early. Once the DJ starts the night prices kick in I believe. Still great prices either way. read more

See all

Jennifer the bartender was amazing. Reviews said they don't like anyone but locals, not true! We are not locals and it was fun!!

Such a fun bar! Gina is the absolute best. We asked her for some food recommendations and she pulls out a folder of nearby menus. It's a dive bar and the vibes are exactly dive bar, which I love. A great hole in the wall type place with cheap drinks and amazing service. And I truly can't say enough good things about Gina - fast taking, great conversation, funny. A must stop! Even the bathrooms were more than you could ask for on a dive bar. read more

My friends and I were just sitting around one evening at Ormond beach, as we do, wondering where we could do some karaoke. I did a quick search and found Yaya's and we decided to check it out. WOW - this is some serious karaoke. If you want to sing, be prepared to be out-staged by everyone. I'm not kidding. But that's what made it so great - the performances were top notch. The song selections are vast. The crowd gets really into it. There are Jell-O shots sold by the pitcher! How could you got buy them? Karaoke isn't every night. We were there on a Saturday but they do it other nights as well. It's evident they bring back a lot of local regulars each week. If you're in town - check it out. read more

Jenn is rude. She was rude. She told me one and done after I just walked in. I don't understand

Energy was not welcoming when we entered and the bar staff was completely okay with a belligerent woman harassing our table and shouting slurs. Multiple people in our party got up to share our concerns about the crazy lady and nothing was said or done. Without the drama, the bar was pretty dry anyway. read more

I LOVE this place! I visited Daytona Beach in January, and Yaya's was a block from our rental. We went in the first night, and visited every night of our stay after that! They karaoke is so fun, the bartenders are SOO friendly! They treated us like we were family. What a great spot! I can't wait to go back on my next trip to Daytona. read more

Yaya's Beachside Bar - January 2021 visit to Daytona Beach. Yaya's was our favorite spot to visit each evening! - Dive Bars Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

It's been ages since I've sung in public and I haven't been to a bar since before covid. We went to Yaya's specifically to get my karaoke on and this place ticks ALL the boxes! Generous bartender, super clean restrooms, entertaining KJ with great equipment and a robust song list. I felt like a regular and truly can't think of a higher compliment. I hope this place never changes and look forward to seeing the same faces and hearing the same singers next time I come around. Best time ever. read more

Local bar with great prices. The locals also enjoy this favorite spot. Bartender was outstanding.

Hell no! We walked in sat down and asked for a beer and some pub food. We were told "my god we do not serve food here! Poop!" Like we were supposed to know that! It's a pub. And why would waitress say a word poop to costumers. We were told to go eat someplace else and come back. Unbelievable! This is a locals bar only. Your money isn't welcomed here. It's a dive. What a shame. read more

I was introduced to this place a few years back by a local that I had met at our hotel's tiki bar. It's a little divey, a little loud, but typically a lot of fun. You can smoke inside the bar, which is one of the reasons I continue to return. Their drink prices are reasonable, the locals are usually pretty friendly, and you just might make a new friend. I have to say that their karaoke guy was a little over the top, and an absolute blast to have hosting on my visit over the 4th of July holiday. It's nothing fancy, but that's just the way I like it. read more

You should know that Fridays karaoke at YAYA's is "slanted." I put my request to sing in IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING one guy ... he sang .... and SEVEN PEOPLE LATER I was finally called. As it is in most areas of life in our world today, it is WHO you know -,not where you should get the opportunity. The karaoke DJ was a cross between Leon Russell and Dr. Hook - except he's missed a few meals. Anyways, UNLESS HE KNOWS YOU, do NOT expect to get called on in the order you submitted your name. The beverages are OK but you better be ready to pay $10-$12 for two mixed drinks. I've been to a lot of bars, saloons, pubs, clubs, lounges, etc. during my 63 years of life on this planet. I'd grade YAYA's out at a C+ .... Visitor - BEWARE! read more

YAYA's gets 4.5+ on Google and Facebook. Yelp makes businesses pay them for better reviews. It's a shame that that Yelp does that . Yelp try's to extort small businesses to improve their reviews by only posting negative responses until a business is enlisted to their advertising program. read more

During a recent visit on a rainy afternoon we felt as if our presence was annoying and not welcome while stopping in for drinks. Large bar with a lot to offer. read more

Really great bar for karaoke and everyone is so nice. You may only get to sing once tho, fair warning.

This bar is a dive... HOWEVER.. it's a fun.. dive. A dive can be a dive..or it can be a dive with personality and fun involved. This would be it. The staff is super nice.. cheap booze.. karaoke..which is always fun to watch when one is tips to the tips.. pool in the back. Cheap shots.. what more could you want? read more

Excellent drinks, friendly staff and customers in an ideal location. Located right across the street from Daytona beach, perfect spot to cool off and have a drink after soaking up some of that Florida sun. read more

Come here for the best time! Bartender is so nice! Great atmosphere and you can get a pitcher of Jell-O shots is $20. Come here and support local business and genuinely great business owners! read more

Karaoke was interesting. Beer was cold. Lots of smoke. Been 1 time in 3 years of living here.

This is where my hot friends and I go when we're feeling frisky! The rustic, simple ambiance appeals to only the most upscale of clientele (black tie for guys, ball gown for ladies) read more

Skeptical at first, but ended up over there for a bit one night and found it to be very friendly. Had a local buy our first round and they had open pool that night too! read more

Friendly, Clean and Fun environment. Had a great time. Very safe area. A must go to place.

Friendly people Friendly owner. Grate place if your at this end of Daytona Beach. Small but comfortable. Good people been two times no problems. read more

It's a really classic dive bar, but you will have to burn your clothes when you get home because of the cigarette smoke.

It's a dive bar for locals. They have the usual yellow fizzy beer, karaoke on certain nights and a younger rowdy crowd. I don't recommend for tourists especially at night, because fights are common here. read more

They do have pool but cheap beer is not necessarily the case compared to most divey, local bars in town. I found some Sierra Nevada in the cooler which took the bartender longer to locate then me, however, this place is local to me and seems to be somewhat of a reasonable place to grab a drink. There is karaoke a lot during the week and while I love to sing terribly while drinking, beware, because you WILL be booed off stage! Proceed with caution, haha. read more
