Great place to gather with friends and neighbors. Great live music and beer & wine! Atmosphere is relaxed and friendly

A little gem just off the main street of the Tarpon docks. We stopped in here to listen to some live music on a Saturday night. We really liked the quality of their brews, and we enjoyed the band. Also, they were playing Chive TV on the TV sets; I was unfamiliar with Chive TV prior to this visit, but I liked watching the variety of 5-15 second video clips that Chive TV kept playing. If I find myself in Tarpon Springs I'll definitely visit this place again. read more

5 Branches Brewing - On the wall in the brewery - Breweries Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

This is my first time reviewing 5 branches but not coming here. The first few times we've come here I was pregnant but now that I'm not I can say for sure I love it just as much as my husband! The beers are always great and they have a pay it forward program for veterans. 5 branches doesn't sell food (except for the occasional hot dog) but Costa's is right next door and they always deliver food right to us at the bar with a smile :) A great stop if you're headed to the sponge docks (or if you want some local beer) read more

Can I give this small local treasure a gazillion stars!? This brewery is my all time favorite. Not only do they make award winning beer, but between the awesome bartenders, live music, home town feels and the location they offer alternative selections to craft beer as well. They have a yummy sangria that is made by Candice, and wine alternatives for those whom beer doesn't agree with them. On the weekends they have hot dog specials and small munchies, but never get offended if you bring in your own food from many of the sponge dock restaurants around. John Mackin, the bartender is one of my favorite people and can recommend a beer to the pickiest of people. Check out the open mic night on Wednesday, the best of the local musicians always show up and play: it's an amazing show! This is a must stop! read more

Such a great brewery! We were in Tarpon Springs and - as always - on the hunt for a cool local brewery to hang out and grab a cold one. We ventured into 5 Branches and were SO impressed. First, the place is cool. I love the theme, dedicated to the five branches of the US military. And the decor in the small tasting room is perfect for the seaside town. Next, the beer is solid. I started with a lager and finished with a red IPA. Both were cool, crisp and delicious (especially on a hot day). But the star of the show at 5 Branches was our beertender, aka "Johnny the Greek" (who also would be a strong contender in a Billy Bob Thornton look-a-like contest). He was just fantastic. Humorous, knowledgeable, engaging. He truly loves the brewery, loves his job and attracts quite a loyal following. If I ever pass through Tarpon Springs again I'll make a point to stop in at 5 Branches again. And I hope John is still there slinging cold ones when I do. read more

On our visit to Tarpon Springs for the Arts and Craft Show, we stopped in 5 Branches Brewing on Athens St. What a great decision. As we walked in, Heather called out a cheery welcome. And she did this for every customer that came in. It's a quaint old time-shaped bar. Tables are available as well as outside seating. We sampled a couple of the beers and although the decision was difficult, we both chose Giggle Shark, a citusy IPA. In addition to a variety of approximately 16 brews, Three Daughters Rose Cider is on tap. If you prefer, there is wine available and a sangria (weekends only). We enjoyed Miss Vickie's sea salt chips and jalapeño flavored too. Food is not sold on the premises but 5 Branches collaborates with local restaurants so you can order in. There are numerous T-shirts to choose from. If you want to take your favorite beer home, Giggle Shark is available in 6-packs. For others, choose a crowler or purchase a beautiful growler. Parking is available in nearby lots. Walk the short distance and check out a variety of small shops on your way. We had a great time, enjoyed our beers and met friendly folks - locals and tourists. We plan to go again soon. read more

This brewery has so much character behind the bar it is unmeasureable. Immediately, greeted with a warm welcome and lots of energy. Smaller in size but not personality and they have a Pay It Forward program for veterans, which I love as Ben and I are both military children. Our beertender kept us entertained with conversation where we learned he was from Chicago, so a Bears fan (a team we Lions fans could do without) and he was super surprised with my knowledge and use of beer terminology which I found entertaining. In their bathroom they have a poster so you can learn how to ask for a beer in about 2 dozen languages. Their beer was also very tasty. I got an interesting combo of strawberry and basil called Hipster Salad. LOL read more

My wife and I had one of their beers (Shark Giggles) at another restaurant and liked it so much we had to find the brewery. We got a flight of a few beers as we always do when we find a new brewery. Every beer in the flight was top quality. The Doggin Wrench was my favorite. So far, we've had five of their beers and well... we'll be back. read more

Opened only six weeks ago, this brewery is the latest addition to Tarpon Spring's craft beer scene. Located on Athens at the Sponge Dock area I am sure it will attract lots of people once the word gets out. On the day we visited, they only have a golden ale from their own kegs, though more will be ready by mid Jan (which is kind of a given when visiting brand new breweries... the beers often aren't ready till weeks after the opening.) They did put together a nice variety of other local beers, from cider to wheat to stout. Place is on the small side. Lots of street parking nearby though you may need to circle around a bit on a busy day to find an open spot. The Brewery's name "Five Branches" refers to the five branches of the military: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, and the brewery is veteran owned and operated. read more

FYI the opening times posted on yelp or not correct. Brewery actually opens at noon on Saturday. I will post a picture of their hours. They just opened! Great guest beers and even better brewed beers of their own. The double IPA is a delicious treat. The staff and owners are incredibly nice! The owners are still active military - thank you for your service for our country and making delicious beer for our town. read more

Excellent little place with a great vibe. Been here a couple times and the beers are tasty. It's right on the main drag and has great service. They treat you like a friend and are always in a pleasant mood. It's a quaint little place where you can actually hold a conversation. They do trivia on occasion and also have food in a crockpot behind the bar (not sure how often). read more

Found this gem thanks to my partner's nephew who originally stumbled upon it. Amazing local brewery and super nice owners. We got a chance to chat with Jeff and Candace the owners. We will definitely be back to have some brews. The giggle shark ipa didn't miss a beat! read more

Great addition to the Tarpon Springs brewery scene. Good variety of beers (about 10 or so). Nice laid back vibe. Nathan our server was "extremely" nice and helpful. Have a few games to enjoy and good time with kids. Bottom line...good beer...good time! read more

Great place and great service. So glad we found this gem. We look forward to going back soon.

Great brewery located in the heart of Tarpon Springs. Five branches refers to the five branches of the military. This is a veteran owned brewery and they strongly support military, first responders, police and firemen. They recently won the 2020 Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal in the Imperial Stout Category with Doggin Wrench Imperial Stout and 2020 Very Small Brewing Company and Very Small Brewing Company Brewer of the year. That's a great honor for a first year brewery. They offer live music on Saturday nights. They have a bar and tables inside and an outside area as well. I tried the Standing In a Hammock: Pink Guava Pineapple Milkshake IPA and it was delicious. All the flavor worked so well together. Parking is available on the street but I had to park and walk a couple blocks but it was a beautiful evening. Definitely worth visiting and supporting this local Tarpon Springs brewery. read more

Great service (no pun intended), and great beer! Their 11% Stout is amazing and so smooth. I'm not even a stout lover! This was my favorite brewery out of all of the micro breweries in town. They offer military discounts for those who are active or veterans. This brewery has won 3 awards! Also, they have more drink options than any other brewery in town. They also support other breweries whose owners are away on active duty by selling their products as guest taps. Definitely a MUST if you are in town. read more

Great service, great beer! Owner was very nice. Looking forward to going back the next time we are in the area.

The brewery had a nice, fun atmosphere! They had the Bucks game and they won, so they get brownie points. Lol. They had all kinds of games to play at the table. Beers were tasty. I don't have many details because my husband and brother in law had them. They were lite on the details. read more

Just stopped by for the first time last night with my husband. We loved everything about this place! We love that it is veteran owned and operated. Being a military family- this definitely hits home for us. John from Chicago was super nice and funny! They were super busy last night- John did a great job making his rounds with everyone. Now the good stuff... THE BEER. It was phenomenal. I got a flight which consisted of the following: Windtalker Kolsch, Knife Hand, Standing in a Hammock, and Doggin Wrench. All of the beers were great! My favorites were the Knife hand, which is described as a "hazy IPA" - it was deliciously crisp, not too hoppy or bitter. It would be a wonderful beach beer! The Standing in a Hammock beer was surprisingly light and smooth, with a sweet, but not too sweet pineapple guava flavor. I'm not normally a fan of fruity beers, but this- it was excellent! The Kolsch was good. Your typical German style light beer. Nice and refreshing! Lastly, the stout (Doggin Wrench)- it was SO GOOD! Not too heavy, but creamy, with a nice coffee flavor. We will most definitely be back here! Thank you so much for all you guys do! We appreciate you! read more

Diamond in the rough. Gold in the mine. One block from the hustle and bustle of Tarpon Springs tourist area finds a respite of solitude and excitement. 5 Branches has over twenty assorted beers on tap. So if you like IPAs. Lager, wheat ales, sours, Belgian whites, porter, stouts, etc. they have it in draft. Many of the beers are made on site by Jerry, the owner. His wife Candace is often the bartender and she has $5 hot dog (Hebrew national the best, 1/4 pounders) combinations like the Hawaiian or cream cheese , nachos, jalapeño and cheese that we had that blew us away. Live music by a superb guitarist/singer and pub banter made this an enjoyable outing. If you ever go to Tarpon Spring go here. read more

One of the best local brew houses. They had an amazing pumpkin beer. The server was awesome and they're veteran friendly.

Great quality fresh beer with friendly service! They rotate a variety of beer types but keep their most popular on tap.

What a great place. Owned and operated by those that served this country, great beer friendly people. Will be back

"Five Branches" for the Five Branches of the military. Veteran owned and operated. Awesome brewery on the Sponge Docks. Beer is creative and they have something for everyone....even traditional non-beer drinkers would be surprised and may be enticed with a creative libation they would not expect. Great atmosphere. Entertainment on Friday's well done and chosen by the owner who is a musician himself. A must visit if you are in the Tampa area. read more

Cool place owned by military guys..Beer is fantastic and it's right off the sponge docks.. Give this place a try...
