Pilar Bar is a sophisticated adults-only poolside bar located at the Hawks Cay Resort in Duck Key, Florida. It offers a relaxed atmosphere with handcrafted cocktails and light bites, serving guests by the Tranquility Pool, which provides a serene escape.
The pools at Hawks Cay Resort, including the Tranquility Pool adjacent to Pilar Bar, are generally heated for guests' comfort, though specific daily temperatures are not publicly advertised.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews offer a mixed perspective. Many customers highly praise the 'amazing vibe' and the helpful, friendly employees, with specific mentions of excellent service from Jacob and Jason. The Pilar Bar, in particular, received strong recommendations for its exceptional staff (Jason) and delicious food, including burgers, Cuban sliders, and shrimp tacos, along with good drink recommendations. However, significant negative feedback includes accessibility issues, noting that the establishment is not open to the public and requires a resort wristband. More critically, one review for the Tiki Bar details severe service failures, involving prolonged waits (up to 45 minutes) without acknowledgment or service, leading to a very frustrating experience and a decision not to return, despite the food being considered good.
Reviews
Amazing vibe! Jacob was great helping us out on our first night!
Super helpful employees. Friendly and willing to answer any questions.
We had to go back to the Pilar Bar two days in a row! Jason was exceptional. For drinks, we recommend Lime in the Coconut (on the menu) or Pina Colada on the rocks (Jason was willing to accommodate for us). All of the food we ordered (burgers, Cuban sliders, shrimp tacos) was awesome. You can’t go wrong here - and we know you’ll be in great hands with Jason!
Not open to the public, turned away without a resort wristband
We have eaten here 3 times on our vacation. While the food is good, I am very unhappy with the lack of service we have experienced today. We have been sitting for 10 minutes and no one has come over to acknowledge us, let alone take our order. My husband went to the bar to place our order after sitting a while and the lady asked if we were taking it to go. He said no and she told him the bar is only for to go orders. We mentioned waiting a while and no one has come over. So she said she would send someone over to us. After another 10 minutes, still no one has acknowledged us. So we placed an order online. Total it has been 45 minutes of waiting, with still no one checking on us and no food. Glad today is our last day. Would not come back here after this. Edit, sorry this is the Tiki Bar at Hawks Cay, not Oasis Cay.
