Love this place, we came in for drinks on a weekend during a car show. Great location! Leslie was phenomenal. Super quick service, she obviously loves her job! She is a keeper and definitely deserves a raise. Don’t let this gem go. We will definitely be back.

Visited the ‘oldest bar in Florida’ and I wasn’t sure what to expect. There are different ‘rooms’ or additions to the bar that clearly show a timeline of the bar’s history which is cool. There is room for people to hang out outside and play corn hole, sit around, etc. Inside there are a few games and an area they consider the
‘dance floor’. Drinks were a little pricey for what they were. Cool place to say you’ve been to but wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

Visited the Palace Saloon, known as the oldest bar in Florida, and while the historic, woody atmosphere and live music were definitely charming, the experience didn’t live up to the hype.

We sat at the bar and asked the bartender for their signature cocktail — hoping to try the best of what they offer. Unfortunately, the drink was disappointing and overpriced. It lacked flavor and balance, especially for a place with so much history and reputation.

Cool vibe and worth a quick look if you’re into history, but we won’t be coming back. There are better spots on the island for cocktails and overall experience.

Leslie was so friendly!! She makes a MEAN expresso martini! Honestly the best I have ever had (and I have had a lot). Give her a raise!! — Bar has a wonderful atmosphere. Great music. Old school charm. Sort of gives speakeasy vibes! Must see when in town.

Drinks ok, service ok, place was lively and fun! There are three rooms you can maze through both with their own vibe. The live music is fun and they have Pool tables etc. Cool place! I like it. Fun place to hang out with a group of friends.

A very cool place to come after dinner for drinks and music. Known as the oldest in FL, it’s not as five “bar-ry” as it could be … modern, clean and hip in all the right ways for a bar. The night we were there it also had really great music.

Cold natty tall boys in Florida’s oldest bar. Writing something would only ruin it. Highly recommend.

We loved this historical saloon! We went on multiple nights. The bartenders were attentive and made great drinks. Their rum punch was delicious! I loved playing pool in the back room. It was more intimate and gave it a small town feel.

What an awesome time I had at the Palace Saloon! The Margarita was perfectly made and quite tasty. A local patron suggested and purchased a Pain Killer for my next drink and I wasn’t disappointed! The bar tender was attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Very cool place that feels like you are stepping back in time when you walk in. I was lucky enough to visit before the busy time, which I was told started after 3!
