Riverside Deck Space
The Island Waterfront Bar & Grill sits as a riverside pub, with a roomy deck that gives the place its open-air edge. The outdoor tiki bar adds another place to settle in, so a visit can move from the main room to the water-facing side without losing the same casual feel.
That deck works well for a meal that starts with a drink and stretches into the evening. Guests can take a seat outside, look toward the river, and stay put for a second round or a late plate. The open-air side gives the room more breathing space than a tight indoor bar, and it gives groups a clear place to gather without crowding the counter.
The tiki bar changes the pace of the visit. It gives the outdoor area its own stop, so a guest can choose the bar rail, a table on the deck, or a spot that sits closer to the water. The setting suits lunch, dinner, and a long stop that starts before sunset and carries on after dark. See the food and drink lineup sits on a separate page, while this one keeps the focus on the place itself.

About The Island Waterfront Bar & Grill
The Island Waterfront Bar & Grill sits on E Merritt Island Causeway in Merritt Island, with a riverside setting and a roomy deck. An outdoor tiki bar serves cocktails beside the water. The room is casual and cosy, with seating for dine-in meals, bar service, and table service.
The menu leans seafood, with comfort food, small plates, bowls, and sandwiches. Lunch, dinner, brunch, dessert, and late-night food are part of the day here. The kitchen also serves vegan options, healthy options, and a kids' menu. Guests can start with a drink at the bar, then move into a meal, or stay with quick bites and food at the bar. Beer, wine, spirits, coffee, happy-hour drinks, and happy-hour food are all part of the service.
Service options include dine-in, takeaway, delivery, and on-site services. The business accepts reservations and takes credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments. Parking includes free street parking, a free parking lot, and a paid parking lot. Wheelchair-accessible car park, entrance, seating, and toilet are available. The space also works for solo dining, groups, and tourists.
Live music, live performances, karaoke, dancing, and sport add to the schedule. The bar is family friendly and good for kids, with high chairs and a kids' menu. The Island Waterfront Bar & Grill identifies as veteran-owned and women-owned.
Hours And Parking
The bar and grill keeps a broad schedule. Monday through Thursday, it opens at 11 AM and closes at 11 PM. Friday and Saturday stretch to 2 AM, while Sunday runs from 11 AM to 12 AM. That gives the week a clear rhythm, with the longest nights saved for the weekend.
Reservations are accepted, which helps when a group wants a table lined up before arriving. Parking is handled three ways: free of charge street parking, a free parking lot, and a paid parking lot. Guests can choose the option that fits the time of day and how close they want to park.
The address places the restaurant on E Merritt Island Cswy, so arrival stays direct. A driver can aim for the lot, a curbside space, or the paid lot if that is the closer choice. A reservation can take some of the guesswork out of a busy night, especially when the weekend hours run late.

Access And Seating
The Island Waterfront Bar & Grill includes a wheelchair-accessible entrance, wheelchair-accessible seating, and a wheelchair-accessible toilet. Those features shape the visit from the door to the table to the restroom, so guests can plan the full stop with the same route in mind.
The seating options matter here because the place serves as a bar and grill Merritt Island guests can use for a meal or a drink. A wheelchair-accessible seat lets a guest stay in the dining room rather than shifting to a less comfortable spot, and the accessible toilet keeps the visit practical from start to finish.
Unique cocktails add another reason people linger at the bar side of the room. A guest can come in, take an accessible seat, order at the bar, and settle in without changing rooms or moving through a narrow path. The accessible entrance, the seating, and the toilet each support a smoother stop, and the drink list gives the bar its own reason to stay awhile.
