Landside
It was an easy decision to open our second location off the island to make ourselves more accessible to mainlanders. So, in 1997, Anna Maria Oyster Bar Landside opened on US-41, just north of SRQ, the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. This location features a spacious dining area, two full-service bars, a private dining area… plus an outdoor deck, and our “backyard” with lawn dining, cornhole, and more!
The Halfway Lounge is also located at Landside. If live music, craft beers and wine are what you’re looking for, you’ll find it here! The Halfway is a sports bar with live music nightly.

Noah Thurnau
General Manager
Born and raised in Sarasota, Florida, Noah has been part of the Oysters Rock Hospitality family since he was just 16. A proud Palmetto High School graduate, he followed in his sister’s footsteps after hearing how much she loved working for the company—and he hasn’t looked back since.
Over the years, Noah has become a friendly, familiar face to both guests and teammates alike. One of his most unforgettable moments? Helping plan a surprise birthday party for a beloved regular named Anita at the Ellenton location. “Her family celebrated with us before she passed, and I’ll never forget being part of that moment,” he shares.
At home, Noah may be a little more low-key—his pet would probably tell you he sleeps and lounges a lot. But at work? He’s up early, fueled by the biggest black Americano on the menu, ready to take on whatever the day brings.
Christmas keeps him up at night (in the best way), and Japan is at the top of his travel bucket list. He’s all about creating memories, connecting with people, and—let’s be honest—enjoying a big plate of Blackened Chicken Alfredo with Island sauce and broccoli whenever he gets the chance.
