Just minutes from your stay at Sunkissed & Salty, there’s a place where tropical luxury meets creative mixology — The Doctor’s Office in Holmes Beach. Once an actual medical practice, this chic cocktail bar has become a must-visit for guests looking to unwind in style while exploring Anna Maria Island.
A Little History & Island Vibe
The Doctor’s Office keeps a playful nod to its past — from “prescription” cocktails to the tongue-in-cheek invitation to “Call the Doctor.” The building itself once served as a real doctor’s office for the local community, and today it’s been transformed into one of the island’s most stylish and intimate cocktail bars.
Located at 5312 Holmes Blvd #B, Holmes Beach, FL 34217, the venue features:
The Bar Room: A 21+ space dedicated to serious craft cocktails.
The Doctor’s Garden: An outdoor patio perfect for al fresco dining.
The Dining Room: A cozy, upscale area for relaxed dinners or date nights.
Cocktails That Cure What Ails You
This isn’t your average beach bar — The Doctor’s Office is known for its masterful cocktails, crafted with infused spirits, fresh herbs, and house-made mixers.
A few favorites worth “prescribing” yourself:
The Oath: Jasmine-infused vodka, lavender honey, and lime.
Nightingale: Chamomile tequila, lemon, and lavender.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: Gin, muddled blackberries, elderflower, and lemon.
Painkiller: Rum, coconut milk, pineapple, and nutmeg.
Preferred Remedy: Rye, black walnut liqueur, and vermouth.
For the cocktail connoisseur, the “Ivy League” menu pushes creativity even further. Try the Eleanora — a mezcal-based drink with crème de violette, blackberry foam, and a tajín rim.
Feeling adventurous? Ask about the absinthe fountain experience — a whimsical, old-world ritual that’s equal parts show and sip.
Dining at The Doctor’s Office
While cocktails steal the spotlight, the menu is designed for pairing — featuring fresh seafood, tender steak, and shareable appetizers that complement the drink list beautifully. The atmosphere is refined yet relaxed, making it an ideal setting for dinner after a beach day or sunset stroll.
