AMOB Family – Anna Maria Oyster Bar

Thank You for a Great 2022!

January 23, 2023

What a memorable year 2022 was…in so many ways, wonderful and exciting….and in so many ways, challenging…and I know many of you can relate. We’re all learning how to re-assess our expectations of how things should go vs. the reality we live in, which looks a little different from how it did ten, or even three years ago! For example, I expected our construction timelines to run about six to eight months…but it turns out that eighteen months is more realistic 🥴 Here’s a picture of the Executive Team (not pictured, our COO Chris Frawley) at the new UTC location

Anna Maria Oyster Bar Hurricane Ian Efforts

October 14, 2022

As we all well know, the Bradenton area dodged a bullet named Hurricane Ian.

As restaurateurs, we consider it our duty to serve as “second responders,” and we take this very seriously. As soon as it’s safe to do so, our teams work hard to provide you with a safe, comfortable, happy place to

Meet Penny!

September 14, 2021

Hello to our AMOB Family: We have a special introduction for you today… Meet our brand-new Anna Maria Oyster Bar mascot: Penny! As a family-friendly establishment, we knew that a mascot could create more opportunities to connect with all our raving fans, from one to 101! As you know, a dolphin has been the centerpiece of our iconic logo since we opened our doors back in 1995. We thought it was about time that we give that dolphin a name and officially bring it to life. She’s flipping excited to meet you! Here’s a message we received on our shell-phone

History of AMOB

July 15, 2021

1995 Anna Maria Oyster Bar is founded on the Anna Maria City Pier. The City Pier will always be home to us, because that’s where we established regulars and made a name for ourselves with our fresh seafood & fun atmosphere. However, we started off real slow here in the fun category. despite one favorite memory I have of the City Pier, and there are MANY, One night we were incredibly busy… and we had been getting close to breaking records on our busiest day ever. I made the statement if we did over $10,000 in sales in one day

Statement From John Horne Regarding COVID-19

March 20, 2020

These are crazy times… unlike any I ever thought we’d ALL be facing. Social distancing… I don’t think I’ve ever heard that terminology before… can’t wait until I never hear it again.
