Destin Area Nightlife
Hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants keep Destin's nightlife hoppin'. From blues and reggae, to hard rock and swing, the busy summer season brings live bands seven nights a week to most establishments. The collegiate crowd call the sportsbar / nightclub Nightown home, while a slightly older and sometimes rowdier crowd congregate at Fisherman's Wharf. Nearby Fort Walton and Grayton Beach offer hip music venues, but if bars and clubs aren't your thing, Destin's rotating schedule of music festivals and outdoor concerts brings live music to the masses.
