At OCEAN we make the best Mediterranean food. Come try it
Welcome to Ocean Grill and Bar, a culinary oasis nestled in the heart of Hollywood, Florida, where the vibrant flavors of Latin and Mediterranean cuisine unite to create an unforgettable dining experience.
Forget the overpriced tourist traps on the boardwalk—Ocean Grill & Bar is where Hollywood’s "in-the-know" locals go to escape the neon and find the soul of the city. Located at 1814 Harrison St, right in the historic heart of Downtown Hollywood, this isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a breezy, sophisticated crossroads where Mediterranean zest meets South Florida’s laid-back rhythm.
The Aesthetic: Industrial Chic Meets Coastal Warmth
Stepping inside feels like entering the private loft of a world-traveling chef. The space balances raw elements—exposed brick and high ceilings—with the softness of ambient lighting and a bar that serves as the room's glowing centerpiece.
The Vibe: It’s "Downtown Sophistication" without the ego. Whether you’re in a sundress after a beach day or dressed up for a Saturday night, you fit in.
The Al Fresco Factor: Their outdoor seating on Harrison Street is the prime spot for people-watching while the Florida sunset paints the sky.
The Menu: A Love Letter to the Sea (and the Land)
The kitchen at Ocean Grill & Bar operates on a simple "Fresh First" philosophy. They take classic American grill staples and give them a global, often Mediterranean-inspired twist.
Why It’s a Hollywood Standout
In a neighborhood known for its eclectic arts scene, Ocean Grill & Bar acts as the "Social Anchor."
The "Happy Hour" Hero: Known for one of the most generous and high-quality happy hours in the area, it’s the definitive spot for a post-work transition.
Live Music & Energy: On select nights, the air fills with the sounds of live acoustic sets or jazz, turning a simple dinner into a cinematic South Florida evening.
Culinary Consistency: While many spots on the beach rely on one-time visitors, Ocean Grill thrives on regulars. The staff remembers your drink order, and the kitchen never misses a beat on the seasoning.
The Verdict: It’s the kind of place where the afternoon "quick bite" accidentally turns into a three-course dinner and a second round of cocktails because the atmosphere is just that magnetic.
