I enjoyed the drink specials with reasonable prices and they serve local homemade bitters shots that are very nice. Foodwise, we had the lobster grilled cheese sandwich that was deliciously decadent and the conch ceviche that honestly was not one of my favorites because it had carrots and other items I don't care for in my ceviche but we still enjoyed in the airbnb with plantain and corn chips. The servers are very friendly and accomodating but I thinkg this may appeal to the younger folks that like to party a bit more than we do. We purchased their really cute brightly colored rash guards as souvenirs to wear to the lake next summer.

We had dinner at Barefoot Bar twice during our stay in Placencia. The venue is quite large, with lots of rustic, and colourful wooden tables, chairs and stools, and is right on the beach so you can literally put your barefoot feet in the sand at your table if you wish! There are also tables inside the covered building if it’s raining, or if you prefer it. One of the nights we were there they had live music playing which was awesome, and a few people were dancing. The menu is fairly extensive for a beach bar, so there’s lot of choice. Dinner the first night was burgers for both my husband and I. He had the Dayo burger which is a bacon&cheese with a fried egg, I had the Caribbean burger which was seasoned with a lovely tamarind sauce. Service was great, and our food came quickly. They did not offer fries, but you can get plantain chips which are a reasonable alternative. On the second night we were there we both ordered the Coconut Curry Shrimp Stirfry. Our friends, who ordered tacos and a burrito several minutes after us were served first, which I thought was weird, but no big deal. I don’t know if they lost our order temporarily, or if they took time to cut up the vegetables for our stir fry, but when it arrived, it was hot and delicious, and more than either of us could eat. They seemed to have quite a few people on staff, and other than the wait for our meal, service was relatively attentive and accommodating. The place was quite busy on our second visit with the live music playing, and our needs were attended to by three different waiters over the course of our dinner, so they all seem to pitch in and check on tables, helping whoever as needed. It’s a fun, relaxed atmosphere, with good food, in a great location.

Went here a couple of times during our short stay in Placencia. Waiting staff are very friendly and efficient. Both times we had the enchilada grande - pulled pork and the vegetarian one - very, very, very nice, hence why we went back for a second visit. The bar is on the beach with tables and chairs either on the beach or inside. Don’t hesitate to go when in Placencia, you will be glad you did.

Great margaritas. For lunch I ordered grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas with cabbage slaw. Five(!) tacos, each served on two tortillas. The fish was amazingly fresh and perfectly grilled and seasoned, topped with crispy cabbage slaw. With a splash of Marie Sharps habanero pepper sauce, these were the best fish tacos I've ever had. Beautiful spot on the beach, great food, friendly, casual servers and Belize at its best.

We love Barefoot bar!
We went here multiple times whilst staying in Placencia. Someone we met recommended it and they were right.
It has a really extensive menu - including loads for vegetarians. Almost too much to choose from and all at very reasonable prices. They have a daily specials and daily offers - follow them on Facebook to see what they are doing each day.
There is a huge drinks menu including some delicious cocktails which start at $4
It has a cool, laid back vibe and helpful staff
You need to come here and chill, eat some delicious food and sit right on the beach in the cooling sea breeze

What a great place for a fun cocktail on the beach. We visited here a few times during our trip and it did not disappoint! We were here during lobster season and our lobster quesadilla was chockful of lobster meat - yum!!!
Cocktails were quite reasonably priced and very tasty. Highly recommended!

I caught a ride into town with a local named Steve, who lives down in Sunset Pointe. I asked him where to go for a good first meal in Placencia, and he recommended the Barefoot Bar. Although we didn’t make it there our first night, I’ve already been back twice. It’s right in downtown Placencia, just off the main road, with plenty of parking in a bumpy dirt lot nearby. The first time, we strolled in from the beach, and the second time, we took the walkway, passing by Smoqiz—a BBQ spot that always smells incredible.
The Barefoot Bar is vibrant and full of color. We grabbed seats at the bar, and I couldn’t resist ordering a panty ripper (pineapple juice 7 coconut rum) and the smoked fish dip—a must-try if you see it on any menu. The dip was amazing on tortilla chips with a drop of Marie Sharp’s hot sauce. The panty ripper was just as good as the one I’d had the night before at Rick’s, so much so that I ordered a second. The menu has a Mexican-inspired twist, with plenty of options to satisfy almost anyone. Their drink menu is also great, featuring plenty of Belizean rum.
Overall, Barefoot Bar is a fun, relaxed spot to chill, have some drinks, and let the kids play in the water. I could definitely get comfortable hanging out here.

Fun, fun, fun, night spot with live music and a 10 plus page menu plus a 4 plus page bar menu!
We had dinner here, great food, a little loud, this is a party bar and a HUGE shots, craft cocktails, drinks menu!
We had the smoked fish dip with cucumber and carrots, a chicken enchilada and a swiss burger. If I am remembering correctly, they had 10 beef burgers, 10 chicken burgers, 8 fish burgers, 9 pork burgers. Also tons of Mexican food and tucked away you could fund a grilled cheese sandwich, steak sandwich, salads and a few other things.
I personally think those, instead of a treasure hunt, should all be together under OTHER.
The smoked fish dip was perfect and we ate every speck. He liked his enchilada, my Swiss burger could have used more mushrooms.
This is definitely my favorite night spot in Placencia.

We hit up Barefoot Bar two days in a row after diving . Cold belikins, and good food , fun beach front ambience.
We had pulled park nachos. The bomb lobster grilled cheese, pork salbutes, and some good banana daquiris
Found out that its a local favorite, because the owners apparently are pretty cool with their employees and make for a good vibe and good food.
We basically only went there while we were in Placencia town center. We went there two days in a row. I would go back again today , except that i am flying home

Love the barefoot bar for a couple of beers and good bar food. Have to say that the food was a bit lacking on this visit although the staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered a chicken enchilada special which was huge. Rather than the usual red enchilada sauce it came "swimming" in some kind of thick white sauce (probably a pint) with little flavor. The chicken inside was plentiful and flavorful but the white sauce pretty much ruined it.

We sat down and didn't get served for a while. So moved closer to the bar. After waiting longer I grabbed my own menu. Still no one. Once someone arrived and we placed our order, they made it seem odd that we ordered certain things off the menus. Once we got them, the lobster tacos were bland with barely any flavor. Lobster nachos were a complete mess too! Wouldn't go back again unfortunately. Maybe for a night out dor drinks and dancing yes! But not for what we ordered again.

Visited on-a Sunday evening for a evening family meal. Average is the best I can say. The bar-b-w ribs were awful. Rubbery, fatty and tasted like they had been reheated over a number of nights. Nice location on the beach but windy and cold.
Went once because the tour books rated it. Will not be returning and would not recommend.

This is a colorful, well priced, on the beach location with great food. The staff was really great and we had a fantastic time. We went for lunch but I could see that this is probably a very active nightlife location as well.

Fabulous fun bar on the beach. Loved this place with its bright beach atmosphere and sandy toes. An extensive food and drinks menu. We went for drinks and dinner on their Sunday evening reggae night and loved it. It felt very authentic and we received great friendly service even on a very busy night. Good bar food, no complaints.

We had great food here. I had the Doyles Delite burger. It was a damn good burger. Great oversize toasted bun, big seasoned burger patty, slab bacon , cheese and fried egg. $10USD. I judge burgers hard, the was great. My wife had a portabello mushroom burger with bleu cheese. Also on a great bun, also delicious.
