Food and service are ok. The real attraction here is the fact that this is the only bar opened late night in this area and they have live music and dancing. Part of the experience is dancing with this guy Hamilton who frequents there and is usually wearing a sports coat. My wife and I always buy him a drink and watch him dance the night away.

Is Hamilton Lee Melcher alive. ? Hype clamps my leader. Big birthday ln can't get a hold of him thanks! Lmk heard this place is wild!

AJ's Bar is where good vibes meet... interesting smells. Hunter was an absolute legend--quick with the drinks, full of energy, and really made the night fun. Spangler aka Beans, on the other hand, could use a date with a bar of soap. Great place overall, but maybe light a candle next time, yeah?

I didn't try the food here, so I can't comment on that. The vibe was cool, and the band was pretty good. The place is setup where you can go to the bar and still have a conversation when there's live music, or you can sit closer to the stage for a better show. Service was okay - I had to go to the bar to order my drink.

This bar is huge! It's literally massive with multiple rooms and like 4 bars. It is super fun for a big group and is filled with bachelor parties at night. It is great for walking to if you're staying near the area. The staff is super fun and the food options looked good.

Great hangout bar -restaurant in Grayton Staff is awesome, well run and surprisingly good food for a bar.. onion rings?? Fresh made .. amazing Bar staff Chase and Jay are very chill.. I make a point of staying at the back bar because of them.

Dined with friends at AJ Grayton Beach today and loved the restaurant atmosphere. Old signs hanging on the ceiling and a stage for live music. Service : 5 stars. Our waiter was very present and we never had our drinks go empty. He did a great job and the only thing I would complain about is not getting our social queues that we were trying to catch up with each other and kept asking if we want appetizers when we didn't even look at menu. Food: the food is like most beach restaurants that have the typical fried food shrimp and oysters. After eating fried food the last few days we ordered the special salad of the day. The steak was flavored nicely and cooked to medium I guess. Ooh before our lunch was brought out they brought us shrimp cocktail and hush puppies. We all looked at each other in confusion since no one ordered these. The server said all tables get this and I thought that was a great touch. When we dined here they had live music, so I when the singers were on stage their microphones were a little loud , so made it tough to talk each other. The singers were good though. Will be back for drinks and dinner text time. I can imagine this place being packed during spring break and summer vacation for sure.

When we entered the grayton beach area on Defuniak street, we saw AJ's with plenty of parking, but still passed it by in order to try to visit a restaurant closer to the beach. However there is very limited public parking. So, we stopped at AJ's and I am glad we did! The service by Andre was wonderful, the complimentary his puppies were divine! They were served warm with butter. We started with the crab cake balls. The cake balls surrounded a small salad with fresh greens and a corn pico. It was good, needed a little more lemon juice (which Andre happily brought me a bunch of lemon wedges). I had seen Sne Crab Soup on menus in the area and decided this was the place to try it. It was okay and glad I got to try it before leaving Florida to go home to Texas. The half fried shrimp poboy was really good! Slightly larger shrimp than popcorn shrimp. The bread was lightly toasted with fresh lettuce and tomato! Will orde that again! We listened to live music on the side stage for a little bit before leaving. Tim Nowell was on stage and had a great sound! Would follow him to an area stage to listen again!
