    Great Experience!

    Girls trip 2022 would not have been complete without going to Gilligan's Bar.  Our bartender was awesome, friendly, courteous, attentive, and just an all around great bartender.

    Gotta stop at Gilligans

    We love Gilligans!  Great summer bar in Florida.  Casual, laid back and great bar drinks.  Super fun place to hang and people watch

    Great fun atmosphere

    Very fun bar with healthy portions of food. The burgers are great and tasty chicken sandwich but the real reason to go is the atmosphere!

    Return visit guaranteed

    Special spot, wonderfully creative island atmosphere, and the fish "fingers" and tacos were excellent.
    We stayed real close to town, and this was a favorite place to walk in and grab a lunch.

    First visit for dinner

    Stopped here on Friday night for grand finale to spring break with kids/grandkids. Thirty minute wait at 645 pm went quickly and seated when called to table opening. Menus brought to table with waters and drink orders taken. I opted for the market fish (triple tail) sandwich with beans & rice for the side. It was a great choice and flavor was absolutely delicious. I’d recommend this entree and restaurant if you’re in the area.

    For a really cool break in the day, walk yourself into Mojo Risin’ Coffee Co. located right next door to Gilligan’s.

    This Surf inspired retro coffee bar features the best coffee, caffeinated beverages and smoothies you will ever try.
