Bars & Saloons
Red Door Saloon
240 Harbor Blvd, Destin, FL
Perched on a hill overlooking Destin Harbor, Red Door Saloon is a local favorite known for its purple railing, penny-embedded bar tops, and harbor views.
Red Door Saloon is an unpretentious outpost near the Destin Harbor Boardwalk, offering a classic dive atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. The establishment is easily spotted by its purple railing and American flags, sitting just uphill from the water to provide a vantage point over the harbor activity. One of its most distinctive features is the bar top, which is meticulously embedded with thousands of copper pennies.
The menu focuses on straightforward pub fare, featuring a variety of hot dogs like the quarter-pound Red Door Dog and burgers such as the Mushroom Swiss or the colorfully named Pain in the Ass. Visitors often stop in for cold drinks or signature cocktails while relaxing on the shaded deck. Its central location makes it a convenient waypoint for those riding through the Emerald Coast or visiting nearby attractions like the HarborWalk Village.
