Eddie's is very open with plenty of room to find a seat at the bar, a table, or to roam around and meet new folks. The large garage doors open and let in the constant Gulf breezes. There is a designated smoking section on the west side and it doesn't interfere with lunch unless you are sitting there. There are plenty of flat screens and a game area where your kids (that's right! family friendly) can play. Minors are allowed until 9PM. This is one of our neighborhood stops on the way to or from the Dunedin Causeway or Honeymoon Island. We wanted to watch the Women's World Cup š with other people, so we walked down to Hurricane Eddie's. They open at 10:30 AM, which was great because the game was slated to begin at 11. We got a few beers š» to watch pre-game and other locals began coming as well. The beer was ice cold (yes, I BMOCoozie) and reasonably priced. They have bucket specials if that's your jam. The kitchen opens at 11AM, so we ordered straight away. The food was hot and delicious- no complaints at all. The staff is fantastic and checked to be sure we had cold beers on the way if needed. The game was great š ā½š and the crowd was fun. Look in the local flyers for BOGO drink coupons and make...

Been coming here since it opened and has been our favorite weekly visit.Ā The serversĀ have been amazing untill the last few monthsĀ Ā TodayĀ we wereĀ attendedĀ to once in 45 minutes. Last time we were there our server spent more time in the bathroom with a friend then tending to the cusotmers.Ā It also seemed like sheĀ was on a drug as she was really having a hard time not slurring.Ā I'm not sure whats been going on but the ones you have now are nice but they seem to have a hard timeĀ seeing past the exitement at the bar.Ā I want a reason to tip big again. We loveĀ you Eddies.Ā Please bring back better service!Ā I'm disapointed to say that we wont be going back there again anytime soon but will check in again eventually to see if it gets better.Ā I'll update this post then.
Long Over Due Update: 3/25/23
Changed from 3 to 4 stars... would be 5 if they brought food back. š
Service is great! Well done selecting and keeping this crew! All the bartenders work hard to keep everyone happy! Still my favorite place to unwind at sunset.
Joey is always nice...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHidden gem on the causeway! Hurricane Eddieās is exactly what a good dive bar should be ā laid back, full of character, and always welcoming. Itās got that local charm thatās hard to find these days. The bartender is fantastic ā super friendly and on top of everything. Youāll always feel like a regular here, even if itās your first time.
Itās open-air, which gives it a great beachy feel, and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. The food is way better than youād expect from a little dive bar ā definitely worth ordering. Plus, there are pool tables, darts, and just an all-around good vibe, especially if you're looking for something casual and unpretentious.
If I had one suggestion ā they could use some better lighting in the parking lot. Itās easy to miss, and some people might not realize theyāre open. A little live music now and then would take it up a notch too.
Still, this place is a solid spot to hang with friends, grab a drink, and feel like youāre part of the local scene. Donāt...
