Siesta Key Oyster Bar (S.K.O.B.)

S.K.O.B. is the perfect place to take a break and soak up the tropical atmosphere. You can often enjoy live music and the food is excellent as well. However, this is also the place to enjoy a perfectly proportioned mojito, a signature drink that many people rave about. You can get plenty of other drinks here, but we highly recommend the mojito for first time visitors.
Sub Zero Nitrogen Ice Cream

(941) 349-4062

This is another ice cream shop that you simply must try while in Siesta Key. Part of a national chain, the owners discovered a way to freeze ice cream using nothing other than liquid nitrogen. A wide range of ingredients can be selected by the customer and then blended by hand until nitrogen is released into the bowl as they stir. Trust us, Sub Zero is fun to watch and even more fun to eat.
This summer, enjoy all that Siesta Key has to offer, and when it's time to cool down with something delicious and refreshing, these 5 places are the perfect go-tos!
