1835 Porch Bar – Destin

Nestled within the trees overlooking the Destin Harbor, 1835 Porch Bar crafts the perfect mixture of creative cocktails, craft beer, and delicious bites.

The adventure began when Leonard Destin, his father George, and his brother William set out from New London, Connecticut with three ships. Unfortunately, in 1835, after running into a hurricane near Cape Canaveral, Florida, two of the ships, and Leonard’s father and brother, were lost at sea. Stories had long circulated in the port of New London about the excellent fishing to be found off the Florida coasts, enticing Leonard to continue on and look for the best fishing he could find as well as a place to settle down. Just like that, the world’s luckiest fishing village was born. ​
Almost two centuries later, 1835 Porch Bar was introduced to the Destin Harbor, in a home originally built in the early 1900’s and used for many years as a summer cottage. Uniquely nestled within the trees overlooking the water, 1835 crafts the perfect mixture of creative cocktails in a classic old Florida ambiance. Accompanied by a list of local craft beers, delicious appetizers, and a beautiful view, 1835 shakes up the modern day cocktail bar.
