New on 30A

Havana Beach Bar & Grill offers new Brunch and Dinner menus

Havana Beach Bar & Grill is presenting a new, Hemingway-themed menu for brunch and dinner, with inspiration taken from Hemingway's works to title the sections including: "The Sun Also Rises" for traditional breakfast foods, "A Moveable Feast" for sharable appetizers, "Green Hills" for the salads section, and "The Old Man & the Sea" for a selection of seafood dishes. The menu selections also reflect Hemingway's famous love of hunting, gathering and fishing, with a dash of international influence thanks to the author's time in Paris, Cuba and Florida. This new menu is indeed a new chapter for Havana Beach Bar & Grill, and we invite you to make each visit an incredible journey for your taste buds.
