Frequently Asked Questions

What is the vibe at 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill?

Two words - island time. We designed these spots to be the ultimate place to unwind, regardless of what the clock actually says. You will find a rustic, open-air atmosphere that often features fire pits, Adirondack chairs, and stunning views of the water or cityscapes. It is a social, high-energy hub where the conversation flows as easily as the drinks.

Is there a dress code?

We keep it strictly casual. Whether you are coming straight from the pool, the beach, or a day of exploring, you are welcome in your vacation best—flip flops, shorts, and sundresses are the standard uniform here. We want you to feel relaxed and right at home.

What kind of food can I expect?

Our menu focuses on boat food and handheld favorites that are easy to enjoy in a social setting. You can count on a selection of flavorful street tacos, juicy sliders, loaded nachos, and crispy wings. It is the kind of fare that pairs perfectly with a cold beverage, a group of friends and a sunset view.

Do you offer live music?

Absolutely. It started with a song, so music is a cornerstone of the 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill experience. Many of our locations feature live local musicians, acoustic sets, or curated tropical playlists that keep the energy high and the mood light.

Are children welcome?

Yes, we are a family-friendly destination. While the bar is a popular spot for adults to grab a margarita, our dining areas and menus are designed to accommodate guests of all ages. We love seeing families enjoy the laid-back atmosphere together.

Do I need a reservation to grab a drink or a bite?

In keeping with our easygoing philosophy, we generally operate on a first-come, first-served basis. We want you to be able to wander in whenever the mood strikes. However, during peak seasons or for very large groups, it never hurts to check with the specific host stand at your resort.

Can I bring my dog?

Many of our 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill locations feature expansive outdoor patios and sandy seating areas that are welcoming to four-legged friends. While indoor areas are typically reserved for service animals, our outdoor spaces are often a great spot for you and your pup to soak up the sun.

What are the signature drinks?

As the name suggests, we specialize in the classics. You will find a wide array of hand-shaken margaritas, signature frozen boat drinks, and cold LandShark Lagers. We also take pride in our Who’s to Blame Margarita—a fan favorite!

Can I host a private event here?
