As a DJ of 34 years, I’ve had the privilege of performing at countless venues — and I’m thrilled to now be hosting Sunday Karaoke at Salty D’s Beachside here in Ormond Beach. After my first night, I can confidently say this place is something special! The setup for entertainment is fantastic, but what really stood out to me was the staff. Dee and Ocean were hustling behind the bar serving drinks all night, yet still made time to ensure I had everything I needed for a successful show. That level of teamwork goes a long way. And then there’s Dee — the owner and the heartbeat of the place. Her energy is contagious! She’s fun, positive, and truly hands-on. Even with a full staff, she jumped behind the bar, helped in the kitchen, and supported her team every step of the way. The smiles on everyone’s faces said it all. Important Note: I’m not writing this just because I’m working here. There are hundreds of venues across the Daytona area where DJs can perform, and I rarely post reviews. But Salty D’s and Dee made me feel welcome from the very first moment — it just felt right. If you’re looking for great vibes, great people, and great times… Salty D’s Beachside is a must-visit!

Looking for a place to eat. Had great reviews with a great looking menu. The place it's self looked amazing. Roof top bar grabbed our attention. Unfortunately not serving food but Owner opens for a dance lesson night. She saw us in parking lot and offered us to come in and buy a beer, her day off I might add. Really cool vibes with even better Owner. Great job...we're coming back. 10 stars

The place could use a little TLC for top deck... one bathroom- door does lock and no toilet paper. Inside wasn't an option. Had some bloody Mary's those were good- not from scratch but they were good. Burger was pretty good too, fries are fresh cut and were hot. Overall, not a bad place just not wow.
