WILLY'S LIVE – Restaurant

The open-air nightlife side of Pineapple Willy's, out on the Gulf at the end of South Thomas Drive, where the building is built to let the sea breeze straight through. Live bands work the stage most nights, big screens carry the game, there is an arcade to park the kids at, and the bar pours the widest run of Fat Tuesday frozen daiquiris on the beach — souvenir cup included. Bar snacks and appetizers come out of a kitchen that has been doing seafood and barbecue ribs on this pier since 1984. Sunset, sound check, second daiquiri. That's the order.
