Seadrift sports bar & grill — Restaurant in Ormond Beach

I was in town and decided to come here to watch the NHL Stanley Cup game . Service from the bar staff was the only good part of the Seadrift . A sports bar would usually have the volume turned up for a major sporting event . Unfortunately there is no beer list or even a cocktail menu . I did see staff struggling with very common cocktails including a Margarita . I spoke with some beer reps that were at the bar next to me and they had mentioned that they struggle with getting the owner onboard with how to property run a bar such as having a menu that guests can pick from in order to provide quality cocktails and let guests know what beers they offer as there is no possible way for anyone to know without a list ! The guests from the back room have to stand in the bar area in order to order drinks . It’s a bad design .

The menu is supposedly new but it lack any healthy options and is loaded with fried food . The fish is Swai I was told which nobody should ever be served . When food is ready from the kitchen it is brought out and placed on the liquor counter of the bar to wait for the bartender to serve it to a guest rather than having a system with seat #’s that a server could use to give the guests their food directly rather than it sitting to get cold .

The bathroom gets locked often as there is no door on the men’s room stall . I say often as I stayed for the whole game and it happened to me .

I spoke with the owner when I found out that he was there and he was not bothered with any of the issues I mentioned such as a beer list . I’m giving 3 stars rather than 2 as he was nice enough to buy me a beer .

*Owner replied to this review that I was drunk , however that would mean that his action of buying me a beer at that time would be irresponsible on his part and jeopardizing to his business and also his bar staff for serving me . Not deserving of any stars for an honest review...

My wife and I were cruising north on A1A and decided to stop in for a beer. We didn’t see a hostess so we seated ourselves at the bar. There was a bartender working behind the bar and a bar-back (?) stocking beers/ice or whatnot. We waited for about 10 minutes to place our order but no one acknowledged us or even made eye contact. It was a Saturday afternoon, not very busy and there may have been 6 or 7 patrons seated at the bar. After 10 minutes we decided to leave. We’re not some hoity-toity couple walking around with our noses in the air expecting a red carpet to be rolled out for us. LOL. However, it would have been nice to have been acknowledged. How hard is it to say “Hey, how are you guys doing? I’ll be with you in a minute.” No biggie. We went up the road a mile and stopped for a beer at a place called Franks Place instead. The bartender there was on point. We had two beers and hit the road. If we walked out of Seadrift Sports Bar, I’m sure others have as well. Letting paying customers walk is money out of the owners pocket. Maybe this review will help improve customer service going...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Seadrift Sports Bar & Grill in Ormond Beach is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was electric—perfect for catching a game or just hanging out with friends. The 42 flat-screen TVs ensure you never miss a moment of the action, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every guest feels right at home.The food is top-notch; their half-pound burgers are juicy and packed with flavor, and the menu has something for everyone, from classic bar bites to hearty salads. The full bar offers a great selection of craft beers and cocktails at prices that won’t break the bank. I loved the variety of games—pool tables, darts, and even retro arcade machines like Pac-Man kept the fun going all night. The light-up dance floor and live entertainment on weekends are a fantastic touch!What really sets Seadrift apart is the vibe—clean, modern, and smoke-free inside with plenty of outdoor seating for those who want it. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is a must for good food, great drinks, and awesome times. Can’t wait...
