Pricing, Portions & Ocean Drive Value

Palace Bar & Restaurant offers accessible pricing relative to its premier Ocean Drive beachfront real estate.

Their famous weekend brunch packages—frequently paired with bottomless mimosas—provide immense entertainment value for groups, tourists, and locals alike.

Practical Tips & Practical Dining Accommodations

Due to high demand for outdoor sidewalk seating during live drag shows, making an advance table reservation is strongly encouraged. The menu features flexible options including gluten-free chips and tacos, along with vegetarian choices like the loaded Nachos and Insalata Caprese. Guests seeking a more casual dining vibe without show crowds can visit during early afternoon weekdays.
