Beach Club Siesta Key

Went here with my boyfriend to see some live music. Was a good time aside from the fact that everyone there could’ve been my parents! It might have just been the night we were there but the crowd was definitely older than 20 somethings. Also one of the bar tenders was quite rude, but all in all the drinks were fine and the music was great.

I met a friend there last night to watch the hockey game and the FSU vs Gators game while listening and dancing to Reverend Barry’s band. I love that there was sports and live music. Although the place was full, I never felt crowded at the bar. I noticed the people playing pool seemed to have plenty of room as well. What made this place fantastic for me was Kyle, the bartender. His service is spot on! I never had to wait for a drink despite how busy he was and my water was always refreshed-​I never had to ask for a fresh lemon in it after I ordered it with lemon the first time. Kyle GETS IT and because he did, I will definitely go back.

Great place to be !!! Sit and enjoy the scenery. Management and servers a very friendly. I was freezing and Tim the manager brought me a coat!!! Awesomeness

Times have changed, Fun when my meetup group attends, but after when the DJ comes on not as enjoyable as it was just a year ago.

Rude staff and management

Best Bar on the Key, Hands Down. Live Music, Great Drinks, TONS of space.
If your coming in to watch the game they just put up a bunch of TVs. Good stuff.

Loud club music, no people, $ 2 domestic drafts, ladies drink free on Wednesday… Am I starting to paint the picture for you?
Not a bad joint, but it would have been a lot better if there were more people there. Most of the patrons were the classic douchebag club type who thought they were hot shit or something. The bartenders were helpful and the bouncer was a cool guy (I forgot about a shot of patron I had left near the pool table and he flagged me down before I left without it).
I may or may not go back, depending on what else is going on in the area.

Great bar on a Saturday night. Cover was $ 5 and the atmosphere was great. The crowd was really diverse. People from 21 to 71 were shakin it on the dance floor. The band that was playing was amazing. They went from «Uptown Funk» to «Proud Mary» to «September». I had such a good time! Drinks were priced well and shots were poured generously!

Horrible service and environment. If secondhand smoke and dirty hippies is your thing you’ll love this bar. Walk up Ocean Blvd plenty great establishments other than the Beach Club in Siesta Key.

Fun place! Sundays Reggae night with Life music and Dj. Also great for drinks only on quite evenings. Weekends Hiphop or Dance. Great for all ages that want fun. Also nice to meet ppl ;-) can also be wild there– ir on some evening just quite — great place for dancing. Bar is big and prices are good!

The music was terrible. Reggae music that sounded like crap. The drinks were a good price and strong. Altogether not my thing. Found better places nearby.

Great happy hour deals! Great casual atmosphere during the day that’s great for a little booze break from the beach. Quiet enough to still hold a conversation and lively enough to feel comfortable enough coming by yourself. I felt perfectly comfortable coming in for a drink still in my beach gear

Best place on Siesta Key to dance! They have a live band on Fridays and Saturday nights, generally, and then a DJ spinning until close at 2am. None of that boring trance or house bs — they may play that some nights, but you won’t find me there if they are — check their website to see what’s going on; they keep it fairly up to date.
They also have pool tables and some odd games for the boys who want to just booze it up and hang out.
The generally have a nice young crowd here. (Thank God.) There is no dress code; theyll let any ol’ thing up in here. Some girls really glam it up, but mostly you’ll find girls wearing skirts or booty shorts and a nice top.
They typically charge a cover — yeah even if you come before midnight. its always been $ 5; i dont think my boyfriend was ever charged $ 10, but its possible. Drinks aren’t too expensive though which is nice.
Street parking only here as anywhere else on the key.

Not very crowed for a Thursday, just perfect for me. Ladies had a 5 dollars cover with free drinks while guys got in free but had to pay for their drinks. That’s a pretty good deal, unfortunately I had to drive back to Tampa so no drinking for me. The music was really good and the place had a good crowd. For my first time going out in Sarasota this was a surprisingly really good experience and I will be come back here for sure.

Fun spot on a Friday night. $ 5 cover charge. Reasonably priced drinks.
There’s the bar area to order drinks, a sit-​down area near the entrance, and dance floor towards the back. I wish they’d have played more top 40s music — it was very hard to dance to.
The crowd is a mixture of locals (early 30s) to students (yay us!) to tourists who just like to watch and sip their beer off in the corner.

VIP beach hut section with 2 poles… aWeSoMe!!!

Looking for somewhere that has top 40, you can get your drink on? Then go.
Yes the men under dress to a point where you wonder if they just left the beach or expect the ladies to be attracted to the whole I’m too cool to look nice look or rolled out of bed. Which is ironic considering how gussied up the women get.
My complaint would be that they don’t play enough hip-​hop or music to get down to. It’s definitely not the place to go if you are a free-​thinking artsy type who has a penchant for old school hip-​hop, house, latin or anything else that actually sounds good.
If you love to people watch like I do, then have fun counting how many bleach blondes there are or how many douchebags can fit in the giant shark hanging from the ceiling. I think five douchebags will fit just fine in Jaws. Lol. Oh and ladies watch your drinks. If you look carefully you will see sober men behaving like sharks assessing their potential prey i.e. (hopefully, not you).

Who knew this place was so big!
I have been coming to Siesta Key from Boston for the last 20 years, 4 of them which I have been legal to drink, 8 of them which I have been drinking.
NEVER before this year have I stepped foot in Beach Club. So many years wasted!
Not that BC is some mecca for nightlife and parties, but it is a great spot to grab a drink any night of the week.
HUGEEEE (did I mention, huge?) bar! Gigantic dance floor, I want to say there were pool tables or something there, but the drinks were pretty strong, and I had about 10 (prices were GREAT), soooooo I can’t say for sure.
Clean toilet seats (that’s really the only part of the toilet that matters, no?), good service. Not in the bathrooms, of course, but good at the bar.
My boyfriends Captain & diet dropped to $ 2/​drink after 10pm. Ding ding!
We got smashed and didn’t break the bank. We sat at the bar from 9pm-​2am and had an amazing time. Can’t wait to come back!

3 ½ stars really but will round up for them!
OK, here’s the thing: this seems to be the only club on the little Siesta Key strip.
Because it’s the only place to dance you get a really big mix of people as young as 21, as old as 70. In heels, in flip flops. ALL OF IT. Everyone in one place trying to have a good time.
Their set up seems to be to have a live band followed by the DJ at 10:30 or so, then another quick set by the band and finally the DJ stays for the rest of the short night. 2am. That’s early to close in my book.
The Friday cover band was good but their song choices were tragic during the first set. Same for the DJ. The first couple of songs were just not «clubby» enough. We arrived early around 10pm. Luckily we stuck around. We slipped the DJ a note with requests and he played them almost right away. That was awesome! (thanks!) The second set by the band was pretty good and the DJ picked it up several notches. Drinks were very inexpensive ($ 5 for a Heineken or a Red Stripe???) They also carry the Skinnygirl brand which I thought was very cool.
The Saturday set up was a little better. The band had better choices and the DJ jammed from the get go. Then again, we got there later so maybe they also had a slow start?
Overall it was very clean (including bathrooms), security was everywhere and was very nice too (do you ladies know there is a bouncer named CHRISTIAN? he was getting a lot of attention. I wonder why?) and the a/​c was just nice to cool off from the heat.
Yes, it’s touristy but given the lack of choices they delivered and we had a great time. If you want to dance while in Siesta, head here!
ONLY NEGATIVE? People are allowed to smoke inside. Yuck!

Clearly, my normal scene is an electronic club. However, I was in from out of town and my friend wanted to go.
With the explicit instructions to not allow her to hook up with anyone… that is exactly what she did. I expect nothing less from clubs like this as this is kind of what this scene is… at least on the booty shaking, dick-​grinding Wednesday night that I was there.
On another note, I took my friend who’s scene is pretty squarely in a dark corner at a dive-​bar whilst staring at people. As soon as we entered, I knew that I had to get him drunk or he’d be a whiny bitch. So within 3 minutes I had him filled up with a double shot of tequila, a lemon drop, and a Irish car-​bomb. He had fun that night.
As for me, I didn’t care for the music. I’m not into the dances required of dudes. I’d rather *really* dance. The place was hotter than Hades, and I sweat so bad there that someone actually stopped me and asked me why I was sweating so bad. Maybe this is why nobody really dances here — it’s simply too damn hot.
