About
At the Flamingo marina, JP's starts you with a bowl of freshly popped popcorn and gets more welcoming from there. JP and Mary work the room, chatting with every table, while sports play on the TVs and kids disappear into arcade games and coloring books. Burgers, meatball sandwiches and jalapeño poppers anchor the menu, local craft beer is on tap, and more than one reviewer calls Mary's cheesecake the best they have ever eaten. Visiting families end up making it their nightly spot.

JP’s Bar & Grill was one of our favorite stops during our trip! We came in to watch the Men’s World Cup matches and ended up spending several enjoyable evenings there, including Father’s Day. From the moment you sit down, JP brings you a bowl of freshly popped popcorn, which immediately makes you feel welcome and at home. The food was outstanding. During our Father’s Day visit, I enjoyed the skirt steak special, which was excellent. Our family also loved Mary’s cheesecake, the brownie and ice cream, the Bourbon Volcano, the meatball sandwich special, cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, and pasta. Everything was delicious and generously portioned. What really made JP’s special for our family was how kid-friendly it is. Our kids had a blast playing the arcade games, coloring with the coloring books, and enjoying their Shirley Temples while we relaxed, watched the matches, and enjoyed the great atmosphere. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home every time we visited. Between the outstanding food, welcoming service, family-friendly environment, and sports on TV, JP’s became our go-to spot during our stay. Whether you’re looking for a great meal, amazing desserts, a place to watch the game, or a family-friendly restaurant, JP’s Bar & Grill is a must-visit. We highly recommend it and look forward to coming back on our next trip!
Whether you’re pulling into the marina after a day on the water, finishing up souvenir shopping at Gifts with a Purpose WEARSOS, or heading off the beach after a stunning sunset, JP’s is the place to go. From the moment you arrive, it feels like home. There’s plenty of seating, beautiful views, and an outdoor patio that perfectly complements the unbeatable vibe. If you’re lucky enough to chat with JP and Mary, you’ll feel like a VIP, and the entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The drink selection is fantastic, with local craft beers on tap and an impressive list of cocktails. The music ties it all together, setting the mood and giving you a second wind for the rest of your night. And the food? Just as memorable as the atmosphere. Everything is made on-site with fresh ingredients, and the hot sauce deserves a special mention—extremely hot and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the bean burger or the classic burger with fries!!
We had an absolutely fantastic time at JP’s Sports Bar in the marina at Playa Flamingo. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere was lively and fun, the perfect spot to kick back and enjoy the marina vibe. And the drinks? A solid 10 out of 10. Crafted perfectly and dangerously easy to enjoy. 🍹 If you’re in Playa Flamingo and looking for great service, a buzzing atmosphere, and excellent drinks, JP’s is a must-stop. Highly recommend!
