Bridge Tender Inn: Dockside Tiki Bar on the Beach





Located on historic Bridge Street on Anna Maria Island, the Bridge Tender Inn captures what island life is all about with friendly people, fresh seafood, cold drinks and beautiful views overlooking beautiful Sarasota Bay. Established in 1991, the Bridge Tender Inn and Dockside Bar is a favourite among locals and 'snowbirds' alike. Known for its 'old Florida' charm, casual beachside fare and popular evening entertainment, the waterfront tiki bar features lighter fare including fresh local seafood, a great selection of appetizers, tasty salads, array of sandwiches, and selection of creative cocktails such as Scottie's Afternoon Delight, Shan's Rum Runner and Beckie's Bikini Babe. Arrive by boat or walk up from Bradenton Beach, and enjoy Florida seafood on the sandy shore of sunny Sarasota Bay.
