Joe's Beach Lounge & Bar Second Location — Restaurant in Grad Split

I have mixed feelings about this place. It's the only singular bar on one of the nicest and easily accessible beaches in Split - obviously it's going to be incredibly expensive, I won't give 1 star for price alone..

That said - it is cash only, but they have a card reader for expensive (€100+ tabs) so not sure why they can't just let everyone use cards. There is also 0 signage anywhere that we could see that states cash only, we only knew from other reviews on here. When speaking to our waiter and a lady direct at the bar to order drinks not once was it mentioned it was cash only.

The result is that if you didn't know, as many people around us did not, it's harsh news when someone comes around with an extended hand demanding cash and then points you to the bars own dedicated ATM with large fees to get some if you can't pay up.

The food menu is also abysmal even for a beach bar - they have a large freezer next to a microwave (yes, a microwave) next to the bar and if you order the €16 small margarita they pull it from the freezer, take the plastic wrap off and microwave it for you.

All that aside we knew this going in and just used it to get a coke & iced latte after a few hours of swimming when we'd drank all our water, and the coffee was honestly pretty amazing. The service was incredibly quick and we got to sit in the shade on comfy chairs for half an hour.

If you come prepared its honestly about what...

I visited Joe’s Beach Bar and honestly, it was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. The food was old, tasteless, and definitely not worth the price. Everything on the menu is extremely overpriced, and on top of that, they charge a ridiculous amount for a sunbed plus mandatory consumption.

The service was absolutely terrible – the staff was rude, unhelpful, and seemed annoyed by every request. Instead of relaxing by the beach, we left frustrated and disappointed.

There are so many better places around. Save your money and avoid this place if you want to actually enjoy your day...

CASH ONLY, But they have a convenient ATM With 6 Euro fee plus 15% extra hit on exchange rate. In our case we were clearly told credit card was ok because we paid cash for the chairs (no minimum), but then we went to leave our new waiter refused and said cash only. Recommend make it easy for everyone - accept credit card and just charge a fee. The ATM scam is tired and obvious you’re just trying to make more money. You already have credit card readers. Leaves a bad taste and makes people want to...
