Havana Beach Bar & Grill is the signature restaurant and bar at The Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach, serving Gulf Coast American cuisine with vibrant Latin‑Caribbean influences inspired by Hemingway’s beloved Havana haunt, El Floridita. Guests can enjoy brunch, dinner, and cocktails in the dining room, on the veranda, or upstairs at the rooftop lounge with sweeping Gulf and Main Street views.
Atmosphere
The restaurant pairs a relaxed coastal vibe with Old‑World Havana style, featuring a hand‑carved mahogany bar, rich textures, and decor that evokes classic Cuba while staying bright and beachy. Guests can choose from the indoor dining room, a covered veranda, or the rooftop lounge with fire pits, cabanas, and an effortlessly chic al fresco setting overlooking the Gulf.
Service is generally described as polished and professional, and the overall ambiance feels special without being overly formal, making it popular for date nights, celebrations, and upscale vacation dinners. Live music on select evenings and sunset views from the rooftop add to the sense of place and occasion.
Food and Drink
Havana Beach’s menu spans Gulf seafood, American favorites, and Caribbean‑inspired dishes, with options at brunch and dinner such as jerk chicken, fresh fish, oysters, burgers, and inventive small plates. Ingredients are often sourced from regional producers within about 100 miles, emphasizing freshness and local flavor alongside vibrant Latin seasonings.
The bar program is a major draw, with a smartly curated selection of wine, beer, and spirits plus classic cocktails like Manhattans, mojitos, and Hemingway daiquiris crafted at the mahogany bar. Guests also appreciate the dedicated rooftop menu, happy hour specials, and the ability to pair snacks and shared plates with sunset drinks.
