A Rich History on Anna Maria Island
Drift-In AMI, established in 1925, is the icon of Anna Maria Island. Located on Historic Bridge Street in the heart of Bradenton Beach, “The Drift” is famous for Ice Cold Cocktails, Live Music, and daily entertainment including Bingo, Bar Poker, and Karaoke! The Legend Himself, aka the Sultan of Swat, George Herman BABE Ruth once owned “The Drift”. Today lifelong Bradenton residents Derek and Helena Williams own Drift-In AMI taking over the reins from the one and only Jose Cuervo and Mrs. Angie in December 2022.
This is the best bar to drink at on the island. Hands down! From the live music to the daily activities there is nowhere else you need to be.

I always enjoy watching my people. Some even feel me up while taking selfies which I really enjoy.

If I were still kicking it I'd be the first to say that the the Drift-In AMI is a real home run.

Beverly Hills has nothing on Anna Maria Island, and there's nothing like the Drift-In AMI in Cali.
