The Craft Bar - Fort Walton Beach

The Craft Bar in Fort Walton Beach is hands-down one of my favorite local spots! The atmosphere is the perfect mix of laid-back and lively — exactly what you want from a great neighborhood hangout. Their Craft Bar Burger is out of this world — juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every single time. The beer selection is always on point too, with a great mix of local brews and rotating taps that keep things fresh. Special shoutout to Hayley and Daniel for always making the experience top-notch! They’re friendly, attentive, and really make you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. If you’re looking for amazing food, great drinks, and local vibes that feel like home, The Craft Bar FWB is the place to be!

Was a little disappointed when I first arrived and was told that it was a "Brunch Only" menu but was absolutely delighted by the delicious burger that hit the table. The unsweet tea was strongly brewed and the service was well above par. The bar looked amazing and the entire restaurant had a good vibe.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review Craft Bar was an absolute gem! We were meeting family, and this was our second choice, but it turned out to be the best choice. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, stylish, and welcoming. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making our visit feel special. The food was the real star—creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The food menu was just as impressive, with fresh ingredients and flavors that pair perfectly with the drinks. Whether you’re out for a casual meal or celebrating something special, Craft Bar won’t disappoint. Highly recommended!

We came here about a month ago looking for a predinner drink and snack, and enjoyed every second of it. Our server Ryan was so knowledgeable and personable while cracking us up the entire time, even helped us choose our dinner spot bc we were looking for something more upscale dressy vibes. Gave us the best restaurant recommendations as well as the best dish on their menu. We got the charcuterie board, hummus, Brussels, and rosemary mashed potatoes and I don’t think a single thing was left on the plates when we left. Will definitely be recommending this place to anyone who vacations out here, as well as returning everytime that I can.

Always up for a new culinary experience and we just happened upon this place. The food was good, except for the greens I ordered were too spicy for me. But the server gladly exchanged them for something a bit milder. The location was tucked into a small shopping center away from all the hubbub at the beach, but that makes it all the more attractive to us. Great list of craft beer choices. A nice little wine and cheese shop is attached, you should easily find your favorite beverage. Not much cheese, since their refrigerator went out. Check this out if you want something different than the tourist fare on the Fort Walton waterfront.
