Antiki Floating Bar & grill

Antiki Floating Bar and Grill is one of Nassau's most distinctive dining experiences, a bar and restaurant built on a floating platform moored near Shipwreck on East Bay Street. The name and the concept draw curious visitors and locals alike, and for families with adventurous older kids, it offers something no land-based restaurant can: the sensation of eating while actually floating on Nassau Harbour. The menu centers on grilled proteins and classic bar food, fish, chicken, and appetizers, with a tropical rum-punch atmosphere that kids can participate in through non-alcoholic tropical drinks.

The open-air setup means this is very much a sunshine experience; rain or rough water significantly changes the appeal, so check the weather before planning a visit. The floating structure has gangways and non-flat surfaces that make it unsuitable for strollers and challenging for very young kids. Children who are water-comfortable and can manage boarding a boat-style structure will have a blast.

The location opposite Shipwreck puts it within sight of other Nassau landmarks. This is the kind of restaurant experience kids will describe to their friends back home, not the food, but the fact that they ate on a floating bar in the Caribbean.
