The Lazy Ballerina now offers a lunch service along with delicious dinners and special events
They take reservations as well! There is a private, small function room upstairs that should be opening soon.
Make it a point to visit The Lazy Ballerina Bistro for a wonder- ful casual meal. We love how they use the Madness song, ‘Our House’ as a theme of the restaurant. “Our house in the middle of our street”...
Make it your house for an enjoyable evening, a wonderful addition to West Bradenton.
Not many restaurants can say that they have been in busi- ness for 51 years like the folks have been at Duffy’s Tavern at 5808 Marina Drive, Holmes Beach (941-778-2501).

Hours are from 11AM to 8PM and they are closed on Tuesdays. It’s a legend on Anna Maria Island (as was Mom, Pat Geyer). Duffy’s continues to offer beachgoers an island attitude in a ‘character’ surrounding. Stop by and see why USA Today calls it “an institution.”
