Guidebook for Neptune Beach
Food Scene
Think of the TV show Cheers. That's our Ragtime. Locals hang out until the Townies invade around 11:00pm. Good live music on the weekends. Or go across the street to Flying Iguanas and hit their Tequila bar for the best Margaritas in town and listen to their live band.

This is one restaurant you probably go to at least once. The best specialty Tacos in the area. They are not on the regular menu but are posted on the chalk board as whatever is fresh that day. Some of them include Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, Chilean Sea Bass, Snapper, Tilefish, Cobia, Grouper, Triggerfish to name some off the top of my head.
Indoor or outdoor dining and a killer bar.
BTW. They have the most extensive selection of Tequilas around.

The oldest Bar in the State of Florida. Smoking is allowed. They have some big filters that help. 6 Pool Tables. 25 CENTS a game! Not really a Sport's Bar. Most of us grew up going to Pete's. It was mentioned in a John Grisham's Novels. Good drinks for less surrounding Bars.
