New Smyrna Beach Bars
The bar scene in New Smyrna Beach is split between oceanfront beach bars, Flagler Avenue nightlife, and more relaxed restaurant bars. If you want drinks with a direct beach view, use the Bars On The Beach page. If you want more options within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the main beach approach, Flagler Avenue is usually the easiest place to start.
Choosing The Right Bar Area
- Oceanfront: Best for vacation mode, beach views, and casual daytime drinks.
- Flagler Avenue: Best for groups, nightlife, live music, and walking between spots.
- Restaurant bars: Best when you want dinner and drinks in one stop.
