Cleverly placed right in the middle of Panama City Beach lies a family oriented Irish sports pub, Beef O Brady’s. With 20 inch flat panels at each table and big screens hung on the walls throughout, there’s always something to keep you entertained and the food’s great too!
Subscribing to all the sports packages, including football, baseball and Nascar, Beef ‘O’ Brady’s is the place to go to watch your favorite sports. Whether you are watching from your own personal TV or one of the several big screen flat panels hung on the walls, you’re sure not to miss out on the action. And, if you have your kids with you, and they aren’t too into sports, bring your DVD case, because you have your own personal DVD player accompanying the 20 inch flat panel at your table.
Don’t want to pay the PayPerView fee for that next fight? Go out to Beef’s for a cold one and a burger and watch the fight. Many local pubs and restaurants charge a fee to watch the features on these channels, but at Beef’s just buy some food and you’re good to go.
The atmosphere is great and the environment fun, but how’s the food? One word: great. I wasn’t sure what to expect, having never been to Beef’s before, but I was very happy to finish each one from the slider basket I ordered. The delicious little ground steak patties housed in light but crispy onion rolls were finger-licking good. The modest looking fries were delish too, I actually finished mine, which NEVER happens. My buddy got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, like he always does. His answer was a little corny when asked why he always orders it, but it must be genuine as he keeps coming back for more, “Great taste, great value.” Sounds like a beer commercial from the eighties.
I’ve got to go back to the family aspect of this place, though. They really do gear it around families and kids. As I walk around and gaze at all the sports memorabilia, I’m brought back to my childhood, dreaming of professional sports and the magic of being a part of something so loved by so many. I remember going out to eat with my parents at the same restaurant almost like a weekly tradition and playing video games until dinner came, then after while my parents finished up. Beef ‘O’ Brady’s has video games for the kids to play and best of all, Beef’s feeds the kids for free every Tuesday night from 4 to close.
Let me say that again. Every Tuesday night, bring your family to Beef O Brady’s and your kids (under 12) will eat for free from 4 o’clock until the restaurant closes.
Main menu items range from $7 to $14 with categories from sandwiches to burgers to baskets to wraps. Plus, we can’t leave out the New York Strip for $10.99.
Beef’s is located on Panama City Beach Parkway (Back Beach Road) in the same plaza as the UPS store, Shan Kishi and Carrabbas.
Their phone number is (850) 249-1551.
If you go by, be sure to tell the owner operator Keith Evans that you read about it on SeePCB.

Man in the Sea is actually an extremely family friendly attraction that offers both adults and kids a unique museum experience. The main objective of the museum is to explore man’s attempts to travel and work underwater and uncover the mysteries of the ocean. It illustrates this by providing an opportunity to get acquainted with the roots of diving through a variety of fascinating exhibits, submarines, a large collection of rare diving equipment, and videos and aquariums explaining the sea life found in St. Andrews Bay. Anyone who has an interest in the world of diving or underwater adventure, and even those who don’t – will be amazed by this aquatic treasure chest.
The Man in the Sea Museum brings you treasures recovered from sunken ships dating from 1500, along with more recent commercial and naval equipment, vehicles, and habitats. Both kids and adults can climb through a submarine and other exhibits including the SEALAB-1, the world’s first working undersea habitat. In July of 1964, four divers were scheduled to go down and live in SEALAB-1 for a total of three weeks, but had to abandon the mission after just 11 days due to a hurricane. The divers wanted to show that with this brand new underwater habitat, it was scientifically possible for man to live underwater. The museum hopes to bring SEALAB-1 back to its former glory complete with comfortable living quarters at some point in the future. Donations and admission fees will help make this vision a reality, in addition to further renovation for future generations to enjoy.
