Take an old school Florida Fish House, toss in amazing waterfront views of Anna Maria Sound, then add a menu full of personality with a dash of “quirkiness” and you’ve got yourself a ticket for a good time at Floridays Woodfire Grill and Bar. Not only can you expect to be greeted by a manatee hanging from the ceiling - you can expect personalized service, a fun crowd and a dining experience straight out of a vintage postcard.

Guests love our indoor and outdoor dining options - particularly our Tiki Bar, where the sounds of live music grace our stage every Friday and Saturday night.

Established in 1981, Gulf Drive Café has been a part of Anna Maria Island’s unique history for over thirty years. It sits directly on the spectacular sugar white sands and turquoise-emerald views of the Gulf of Mexico on Anna Maria Island’s south end. A tropical family-friendly eatery that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, the Café was named one of the “Best Breakfasts in Florida” by Southern Living Magazine. Our restaurant, bar and event space covers 450 square feet of waterfront. Offering fresh Florida seafood, cocktails and other specialties, guests of this island hot spot relish the shimmering Gulf and multi-colored sunset backdrop.

“The mission of the Florida Cultural Group, Inc. is to create, entertain and strengthen an artistic, creative, curious, and thriving community by bringing people together.”

It is hard to believe that more than 69 years ago, the organization was a traveling band of artists and volunteers working with meager budgets three months out of the year. Today, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, The Manatee Players, Inc. is a year round professionally staffed corporation of 10 full-time employees, 3 part-time employees and more than 70 contracted directors, musicians, and designers.

Arts and cultural organizations in every community across the world play an increasingly important role in economic development and the general quality of life of its citizens and visitors. As a community grows, cultural and artistic needs also expand. Since staging its first production performance in 1947, The Manatee Players, Inc. has provided diverse and enriching opportunities for the entertainment and education of residents and visitors to the Gulf Coast of Florida. The organizations’ vision celebrates this long history of community enrichment while committing itself to expanding both its artistic repertoire and community education programs to attract and serve every sector of our region.
