Jensen Beach, FL – Mulligan’s Beach House Bar and Grill is another great Florida restaurant located in Downtown Jensen Beach and across from the Intracoastal Waterway. Downtown Jensen is a great place to spend the day with shops, restaurants and night clubs just north of Stuart.
We shared the O’Mully Mahi Reuben sandwich and Fresh Catch Quesadilla again with Mahi Mahi. I ordered the Mahi Reuben without Thousand Island dressing as I have this thing about mayo and the like. They both were great and served with rice and french fries.
Mulligan’s Beach House has a full liquor bar and had a pretty good crowd the Saturday afternoon we visited. They feature live music on weekend nights and have plenty of seating.
Mulligan’s Beach House Bar and Grill is located at 2019 Jensen Beach Boulevard in Jensen Beach, FL.
