Oak & Stone is a fun artisan pizza and craft beer restaurant with a rooftop overlooking the Manatee River and a self-pour beer wall. They also offer a brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays starting at 10am. It is located in Downtown Bradenton and attached to Springhill Suites. We definitely recommend for a fun and casual dining experience!
Pier 22 is a scenic seafood and sushi restaurant located right across from our venue on the Manatee River. Our welcome party will be taking place here on Friday, but it is a great spot for beautiful views and great food at any time. Brunch is available on Sundays from 10am- 3pm. They also have Happy Hour daily from 3-6 pm.
Another great restaurant on the Manatee River. This one is located right by our venue and it is one of David's favorite places to eat when we're in town (he recommends the Grouper Sandwich). They offer a Happy Hour menu daily from 3pm-6pm and brunch on Sundays from 11am-2pm.
The Bradenton Riverwalk is a 2.03-mile stretch of land along the Manatee River. A great place for walking along the river and enjoying the view. You'll also find a splash pad and playground, beach volleyball court, and a skateboard park along the way.
The Bradenton Public Market takes place on Saturdays from 9am-2pm on Old Main Street in Downtown Bradenton. It's a cute little farmers market with produce, local art, music, and family activities. A great activity for Saturday morning before the festivities!
