Nothing gets rid of hunger like some top quality pub grub! Brown Boxer Pub and Grill is an upscale sports restaurant and brew bar across from Clearwater Beach. Popular amongst both locals and tourists, its perfect location and amazing food brings tons of visitors!

We love their spin on traditional pub food from spicy hot wings to a Mac Burger with white cheddar mac and cheese, smoked bacon, and a pretzel bun. How’s that for an upgrade to the beach shack burger?
