Celebration Town Tavern - Celebration, FL
A slice of Boston, served with a side of sunshine.
There's a spot in Celebration where the Red Sox spirit runs deep, the lobsta rolls are buttery perfection, and the chowdah is so authentic you'll forget you're in Florida. Welcome to Celebration Town Tavern--a local gem that feels like it was shipped in fresh from just outside Fenway.
Whenever my mother-in-law is in town, this is a non-negotiable stop. And honestly, once you've been, you get it. From the minute you walk in, the atmosphere wraps you up in full-blown Boston energy--like a neighborhood bar on Boylston, just steps away from the ballpark. Walls decked out with New England pride, TVs playing the game, and that distinct tavern warmth that says, "Yeah, you're home."
Now let's talk food. This place delivers on flavor. The seafood? Legendary. Their chowder--that's Chowda Bobby's territory--is rich, creamy, and packed with tender clams. The lobsta dishes are the real showstoppers, from rolls to tails to ravioli. And if you're a fan of the land game, don't worry--they've got an extensive land-and-sea menu that covers every craving.
Local specials change daily, but the calamari is a must-order--crispy, flavorful, and gone in sixty seconds. And hey, we're still in Florida, so why not go full gator? Their gator bites are a crunchy, zesty treat that'll surprise you in the best way.
The staff? Total pros. Friendly, fast, and full of solid recs (especially if you're debating between two lobsta entrees--which is a good problem to have). They'll treat you right whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth.
Bonus points: they've got plenty of seating inside and out, including a pet-friendly patio, so your furry companion can enjoy the vibe too.
Bottom line? Celebration Town Tavern isn't just a restaurant--it's a trip to Boston with no layovers. Whether you're a New England transplant, a seafood fanatic, or just looking for your next go-to spot, this place is a total home run.
