Welcome back first timers. We're back in our favorite beachside town
0:08
Grayton Beach, Florida, and this time we're kicking it off at our favorite bar, Chiringo
0:14
Now, you've seen this bar in a lot of different videos and that's why we're back here again
0:18
You know we can't come to Grayton Beach without going here, but that's not what this video is about
0:22
We're going to show you all the other bars there are that you can go to in Grayton Beach
0:26
Shocking. There are other bars in Grayton Beach, even though we usually spend our entire time here at Chiringo
0:33
Right across the street, the Red Bar. And we're going to go to Hurricane's Oyster Bar
0:37
We're going to check out the world-famous Red's Pub, where they got a singing bartender
0:42
And also Johnny McTeague's. But don't forget, we're probably going to end the night at AJ's Grayton, which is a great place for drinks, dancing, and music
0:50
And they're open late. Chiringo opened back in 2016 and they've been going strong ever since. They're open
1:15
every day 7.30 a.m. to 11.30 p.m. but they are closed between 4 and 5 where they split
1:20
who were to dinner. It's a lively crowd here. They've got a walk-up bar outside. They've got
1:25
a full restaurant inside and upstairs a sitting area that's air-conditioned. It's the whole package
1:30
They've got awesome food, awesome drinks, awesome bartenders. This is the place that David learned
1:35
to drink tequila and he karaoke's the night away. You'll often find him being carried on
1:40
people's shoulders because they love him so much here. You'll find me out back dancing on a table
1:50
We're here in the later afternoon. They're about to switch over from lunch to dinner
1:54
so it's a little quiet out here. But don't worry, we'll be back later tonight to show you all the fun
1:59
In the meantime, let's go across the street over to the Red Bar and see what's going on over there
2:04
We're here at the Red Bar. This is one of the OGs of Green Beach. It's been around for a long time
2:09
It burned down at one point, but they rebuilt it. This place gets packed. It's a popular spot for
2:15
bachelorette parties, bachelor parties. There's always a party bus parked out here
2:20
They have DJ's live music out back. It's also a restaurant, so you can come here during the day and check it out
2:25
and come back at night to party the night away and listen to some music Red Bar is open from 11 a to 10 p but the bar does stay open later during the weekends but most of the bars around here close about midnight The Red Bar has indoor and outdoor seating so
2:39
they've got a really nice patio out back and some chairs and tables out front as
2:43
well. The decor in here is very eclectic. There's a lot of artwork, a lot of
2:47
posters, a lot of knickknacks. It's a really friendly atmosphere. Everybody's your best friend. Everybody's here to just have a great time. It's only four
2:54
o'clock in the afternoon and it is already getting super lively in here typically we go with just
2:58
whiskey vodka but we wanted to check out a fun drink while we're here so terry's getting a
3:03
margarita which is completely out of character she's substituting for vodka and i'm going with
3:08
my secrets and i'm going with a fun drink i'm getting the absolute stress reliever it's vodka
3:14
rum all kinds of juices flavors and colors he said it was the best drink that they have for
3:20
just relaxing after a day on the beach. It's bright, it's vibrant, it's exciting
3:25
Cheers! You're all fancy with fruit and a cherry. Definitely a fancy drink
3:32
That's a good margarita mix. We're going to drop in some video of what it looks like at night time
3:36
because it's a completely different environment. It's loud, it's rowdy, it's exciting
3:41
People are dancing, laughing, sharing a moment. Most of the time, it's so packed that it's a little bit hard to get in here
3:48
So in the daytime, if you want to just have a drink and relax, this is the place to be. But if you want to come and party the night away, this is definitely the place to be too
3:55
But just be warned, it is a wild time in here. Our next stop is the Hurricane Bar and Grill
4:02
It's right across the street from the park and ride where you can catch the shuttle down to Chiringo and Red Bar
4:08
It's a great little spot. We popped in there once before, but we didn't eat or really drink
4:12
We just wanted to check it out. It's a cool little dive bar vibe. They got dollar bills all over the place and they have a huge bourbon selection
4:18
So we're going to walk across the street and see what else they got for us. Like I mentioned, they do have a pretty big bourbon selection
4:24
but it's happy hour and they have a whole bunch of fun drinks. I think I'm going to forego the bourbon on the rocks and go with a fun drink this time
4:31
I'm looking at the bourbon blackberry smash. Terry, I'm hoping she gets a fun one too
4:35
Not only do they have spirits and cocktails, they have a huge draft beer section
4:40
and the happy hour looks pretty awesome. It runs from three to six
4:43
got things like shaved ribeye quesadilla they got handmade empanadas all kinds of
4:49
really cool food if we weren't doing a food tour right now then we'd definitely
4:53
be eating here but we'll have to come back and check out their happy hour menu I can get over what a surprising collection of bourbon they have here and I wish that I wasn getting a fun drink right now if you don think about bourbon they got quite a bit just kind of tucked away gathering dust But we not here for bourbon We here for fun drinks
5:10
Fun drink. I got the bourbon smash. I got the seaside lemonade
5:18
Perfect level of sweet, tang, bourbon and refreshing. Mine tastes like a refreshing strawberry lemonade
5:24
If you're out on the beach all day and you want another fun drink, this is the place to come. And definitely check out their happy hour
5:30
Next up on our bars in Green Beach, we're at Johnny McTighe's and this place is really awesome
5:36
It's actually a family friendly restaurant during the day, but then later at night it turns into a bar
5:40
This bar is frequented mostly by locals and service industry employees after they get
5:45
off ships. They've got some video games in there, they have amazing food and tons of drinks
5:50
It's an Irish themed pub and they're open every day from 11am to 1am
5:54
We've got a bunch of games over here for the kids or, you know, those of us that are young
5:58
at heart. They've got foosball, darts, and video games. This bar is right up our alley
6:05
Just kind of a local hot spot dive bar. No frills, no signature drinks
6:10
They got whiskey, they got beer, they got vodka. They do have a lot of options when it comes to the different kinds of liquor, but this
6:17
is our speed. Unfortunately, I left my card at the last place we were at, so we have to make this quick
6:22
and then go pick that up. If you're out here, you definitely have to check this place out. It gets really packed at night, and it's a lively crowd
6:30
So be prepared. Next up is AJ's Green Beach. AJ's has a bunch of locations all over, and this one is super special
6:38
It's a restaurant by day and pretty much a dance party at night. They've got multiple bars, multiple stages, live music
6:45
It's just a giant dance party. By 9 o'clock, there's a line out the door waiting to get in
6:49
There is a big parking lot, but like most of the places out here, parking is at a premium so it's best to take an uber or lift. There's so many bars in here it's
6:56
easy to get lost and there's a sea of people mostly girls here on bachelorette parties
7:01
They've got a bar way in the back, they've got an outdoor patio, they've got a stage with a bar
7:05
right next to it. It's crazy in here. If you need a break from all the dancing and drinking inside
7:11
there's a nice little zen area out here on the patio where you can just have a quiet moment to
7:15
yourself Don wanna hold me We at our last bar for the weekend
7:43
We're at Red's bar. They've got a singing bartender. They have food. Let's go in and see what they're singing tonight
7:49
There's a book at each table that has a list of songs that you can pick and Red will sing
7:53
So we're going to see what song we want to pick and see if she'll sing it. They also have a lot of really cool fun drinks
7:58
We're both getting a Helen's Happy Drink. It's like a mojito, but vodka instead of rum
8:03
And the cup changes colors. I'm really excited about this fun drink
8:13
It's really good. Mincy. This place is super fun. So they do have food here and a dinner show, but we're here just for the drinks tonight
8:38
We'll have to come back for the food later. So it's not just a singing dinner show
8:43
It's also like a roast and comedy. This is great. This is such a cool little spot
8:49
I think we could totally spend all night here. It is a blast. Everybody's getting along
8:53
You're making friends. We're having a good time. For the summer class, you can either Venmo or pay cash
8:58
That happens every time someone comes in. Pro tip, if you come here, don't request Piano Man
9:08
David Song is up next. It's Queen, Somebody to Love. Let's check it out
9:19
This was an awesome video for us. We got to check out a bunch of new bars we've never been to here in Grayton Beach
9:24
and had a bunch of really awesome drinks. While Charingo's will always be our favorite, you know what
9:31
Some of these bars really grew on me this weekend. I think we might have found a new favorite here at Red's Bar
9:35
This place is awesome. The vibe, the energy, the people, the atmosphere
9:40
You've got to come out here. This place is so much fun. I know that we say that about a lot of places, but you definitely have to check this place out
9:46
