It may have been there 15 years ago, but that big assed Irish Pub. I can't remember the name. Good bar and food. Large enough to be kid friendly if that's an issue. Sit away from the bar and it's like your in any other restaurant. No kids? Sit at bar and it's a crowded pub.

Place is huge. And food portions a cartoonishly large.

I believe you are referring to Mcguires. Really cool place!

The first time you leave you're not going to want to again cause of the traffic

Where are you staying, kids, etc. If your on the west end of Destin you could be an hour or more away from the east end of 30A.

Best burger in town is at the Craft Bar by Publix by the mid bay bridge.

Monday nights they are 1/2 off. They are normally $14-15 so pricey, but half off they are the best sub $10 burger you will ever have. I can almost guarantee it. It will probably be the best $15 burger you can have. They have a couple different ones 4-5. Everything from quality meat, great bun, perfect cheese, and thick cut bacon.

Big Kahuna is too expensive.
Fudpuckers has bad food in my opinion
Walmart is crazy as usual. Go to Winn Dixie
The Air Force Museum was cool
And last but not least, the water and the weather has been great.

We are staying at Sterling Shores.

The shrimp po boy at The Back Porch was pretty good.

We have my two year niece with us. I guess I'm really looking at places we can all go eat and bars and pubs for me to go to at night. I'll be probably being doing those solo.

TIA

Don't forget to grab that airbrushed T-shirt to commemorate the trip.

Have a good time bud. Come visit Boston sometime. First rounds on me.
