Atmosphere: Conch Key Grille features a tiki bar, sports bar and a restaurant. Think of the 3 Cs: a calm, cool and casual when it comes to atmosphere. It’s a great place to unwind. Since it’s a restaurant and bar on the Indian River, we’re told many people come via Jetski, catamaran, kayak and other boats.
Crowd: On the night we went, Conch Key Grille and Tiki Bar was host to a group of all ages. There was an average-size crowd, but we’re told Friday nights generally are packed. Staffers blamed the on-and-off rain for the lack of partygoers. Those who did come out were upbeat, friendly and ready for the holiday weekend. Conch Key has an island style feel that is fun and relaxing, the perfect place to let loose.
