"If you're gunning for a more upbeat vibe, the Anchor's Bend should be on your itinerary. A two-part component attached to the convention hall, the restaurant is on the pier, while steps lead you to a sand bar below (literally, it's called Beach Bar). The food is fresh, the music is low-key, and people are always dancing. To get the most out of your Beach Bar experience, order a rum bucket to share, which comes in a little white pail outfitted with straws—best sipped while you watch the waves."
