The Best 30A Happy Hours
Alys Beach Happy Hours
The Citizen
Our Recommendation: Bird of Paradise (house blend rum, Contratto, strawberry, pineapple, and lemon) and Whipped fetta with grilled naan.
Rent our 30A beach house here.
Tues. – Sun. 2:00 – 5:00 pm
Citizen offers quite an impressive happy hour drink menu featuring $10 cocktails – signature and classics, $7 beer $9 wine by the glass. Their bar menu items are incredibly delicious like whipped feta, smoked fish dip, charred carrot hummus, and beef short rib arancini.
The whipped feta is incredible. It’s a delicious blend of creaminess with the crunch of the almonds and the tartness of the cheese blending perfectly with the sweetness of the honey and spicy paprika. This is the most popular item on their menu and is always a hit.
You simply must try their Citizen Double stack. It’s their signature sandwich with bbq pickles, your choice of cheese, and their secret sauce on a brioche bun. You can thank me later.
I predict you will go for happy hour and stay for dinner. It’s that amazing. Citizen is sure to be a highlight of your 30A vacation. This is my new favorite spot for happy hour when visiting 30A.

Seagrove Happy Hours
Cafe Thirty-A
Tues. & Thurs. $6 Tini Night all night.
This is one of the most popular happy hours with both locals and tourists. Get there early or you will miss out.
Tuesday and Thursday nights, they have $6 ‘Tini Night all night in the bar area (only). This includes their wide array of Martinis. From the Prickly Pear Lemon Drop to the Pineapple Cosmo to the Bellini Tini, you will surely find something to help you get the party started.
Couple this awesome happy hour with their daily menu special of buy one entree get one-half price and you’ve got yourself a well-priced great time. I might even call that the “adult happy meal.”
The daily special is only available at that price from 4:30-5:00 PM. So the window is small. But, if you plan ahead I’m sure you can make it work.
Pro-tip – you will want to arrive early if you are going to take advantage of the BOGO special. They have a tiny parking lot and it fills up quickly.

Shunk Gulley Happy Hour
Unfortunately, Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar doesn’t offer a happy hour any longer. It used to be one of our favorite happy hour menus. But as of the writing of this post, they no longer offer happy hour. But the incredible views from their rooftop bar are still worth the full price of a drink so I will keep them on the list.

30A happy hours are a great way to get your evening started. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly restaurant or an older crowd at the cigar lounge, you will have a great time.
You really can’t miss with any of these happy hours. Whether you are looking for something casual and laid back, something for the whole family, or something a little more formal, Scenic Highway 30A has it.
