Great vibes and staff. Food was really good and definitely recommend stopping in. They were upgrading their equipment last time I was there, can't wait to revisit and see if anything changed. Their guest beers were great as well. read more

Back Porch Brewing - Great stout! - Breweries Near Me - Venice, Florida

Local brewery, great service. I stopped in for lunch after a round of golf with a friend and we had a couple sandwiches and some beers. He had the longboat and I had the Cuban on special. Both were toasty and delicious. I had a six ounce Experiments batch 12 IPA- I was hoping for a small flight of a couple beers- but they only had 6 ounce or more. Many of their beers are on tap but a few are can only. So there's not a lot of options available to try. They also have wine and cider for those who can't do beer. My friend had the 3 day weekend pale ale. Afterwards, we split a can of their Ampd Imperial IPA. I enjoyed all of them. It's a large place- plenty of seating at a high top, bar top, or tables. It seems kid friendly. Parking is easy- there is a plaza shopping lot. Bathrooms are clean. Service is good! read more

Back Porch Brewing - Cuban! So good - Breweries Near Me - Venice, Florida

Back Porch is conveniently located right next to I-75 east of exit 195. If you're looking for high quality beer, this is worth the stop. Upon walking in you will notice a clean and bright tap room. Service from the bartenders is excellent. There is a drink menu and a food menu. The food is good, but the beers are exceptional. All of the beers were great, and I felt that the IPAs and lagers really shined. I have tried the charcuterie board and the buffalo chicken sandwich. The sandwich was very good and I would order it again. Back Porch offers some of the best beers around as well as good food. I would recommend it to any beer connoisseur. read more

This is our third time visiting back porch brewery, we've eaten here twice and love everything that we've ordered. Trust me.

Shes from Seattle and she said this is one of the better breweries she's been in, it rivals the ones even in her hometown of Seattle. we are definitely coming back. read more

The brewery was tucked away in a strip mall and quite busy but had a welcoming atmosphere. They had a nice variety of beers on tap and 3 different size pours, which we appreciated. We ordered the Summer Squatchin' and the Copper. Both were crisp and flavorful. My husband had The Sink ciabatta sandwich which was bursting with delicious Italian meats and an orange Calabrian chili jam that was loaded with zest and a touch of heat in a good way! I had the Longboat panini which was toasted to perfection and filled with chicken, roasted red pepper, mozzarella cheese and house made (you could tell!) pesto. You can tell the owners take pride in their work and we love supporting local businesses. Can't wait to head back! read more

Good beer but I Need more choices. Sandwiches are excellent! But it's a limited menu. read more

We found this smallish brewery excellent. Great beers, good service and very conveniently located. We had a couple beers and bought some to take home. Going back soon read more

This place is seriously a hidden gem in Venice! From the moment we walked inside the atmosphere was clean, sleek and welcoming. The bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly, the food was delicious, price was great and the drinks were cold fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back to our new favorite spot to catch up with friends! read more

As a new patron to this brewery, I'd like to give a shout-out to Savannah. The MOST pleasant server/bartender in the area! My new favorite beer of ALL time is the seed and bean - a luscious, effervescent glass of liquid dark gold. We ordered a salad and a sandwich to accompany our libations. Although not a big menu selection, the food was fast and fresh - the Back Porch knows the drinks are the star of the show here. Well done! read more

Great IPAs and service. Great location, not by the beach but just a short drive. And really close to where I am staying. I tried Experiment 9 and the Intercoastal IPA and loved both of them. I live in the Northeast and I am a fan of VT, NY and NJ IPAs, these both stood up to them! Brought home a 4 pack of Experiments 8. There were a few people that came in from what looked like a fun beer crawl. read more

What an awesome place and great location! Just off the Laurel Road exit on 75 north of Jacaranda exit you will find a brewery that has multiple styles of beer and artisan food. Brewhouse is on premises and Owners/Brewer are on site daily. If you are into craft beer and very friendly staff, this is a must go to. Just check it out, you will be hooked. read more

We were excited to try a new brewery in the Sarasota/Venice area and were impressed by Back Porch Brewing. After a morning of sharks tooth hunting in Casperson, we made the hike over to this new find and were immediately welcomed. The female bartender was quick to bring our kiddos over some toys, coloring books, and menus. She explained the beers on tap and gave us her recommendations. We enjoyed testers of each ipa and settled on a few glasses of experiments batch 3 and a Casey panini melt. On a lazy Wednesday afternoon, the bar was still pretty busy but we hope to return on a more hoppin' night to enjoy their food truck and live entertainment. read more

I went with my husband to checkout Back Porch Brewing in Venice, Florida. The bartender was super friendly and fun to talk to and told us all about how they got started. I liked their variety of seats and their overall setup of their establishment. My husband and I both tried a flight of small glasses of some of their craft beers. We agreed that we both really liked the fun atmosphere as well as their tasty craft beers on tap. Overall, cool brewery! Definitely recommend checking out! read more

Invited here by a friend. Cute brewery, friendly crowd. This is a great place for good conversation, a good sandwich and a great beer!

Great IPA's. Minimal outdoor seating but plenty indoors. Friendly staff. Their clothes merchandise is high quality. My buddy bought one. Happily bought a couple 4 packs to go home with. Didn't have many IPA's canned which was unfortunate but it may have been bad timing. Either way, this is a great brewery. read more

Service was top notch. Every beer stood out with great taste and finish that we tried. Outdoor space lacking for our dog. Hope to come back before we leave town. read more

I had a smash burger. It was smashed, but good. The mango beer was delicious. It's a little odd, you go to the counter and order your food. You pick a seat and the waitress brings it to you. read more

Great place for beer and atmosphere! We had a few different beers and all were great! We did not have any food but the people we chatted with all said it was very good. They had a home brewers competition when we were there and those beers were great as well. They definitely have a niche for supporting local stuff and helping home brewers out. We will be back to try food and more beers! read more

Food food food. Now serving! Excellent white bean dip, love the Lido and Manasota!! Great flavors, wonderful addition to the brewery!! read more

I wasn't impressed with any of the beers compared to most local breweries. Most of them seemed like bad clones of mass produced names. (Peroni, Sierra Nevada, Budweiser etc.) The service seemed okay, the bartenders were not very attentive and didn't seem social except with each other. The owner and his wife seemed very stand-offish and not open to critiques or suggestions. No TVs, no music, no entertainment. They have very high ceiling and a lot of bare walls and hard surfaces. I wouldn't Recommend going if you like to have conversation with others or meeting friends as it is so loud that you can't hear yourself think even with few people inside. If you're getting out of work from one of the many factories in the area, the landfill down the street or you just saw your hospital bill from the new SMH it may be an easy place to stop for a beer but it's really not near anything remarkable or anything else to do. I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It just feels like the tap room is an after thought to the brewing and they really should have taken a little more time on developing a product and a concept before they opened. read more

Great owners! Great beers! Wide selection of house made lagers, sours, ambers, ports, and stouts read more

This brewery now ranks among the best in the stat. , Hell it won a blind tasting with our group going against Treehouse beers and if you know beer, you know how fantastic Treehouse beers are. Anthony is consistently brewing on another level and we are very lucky to have him here. Give them a try and you will be back. read more

I'm never one to leave a review- maybe have done 2 ever. This place deserves a positive review on all counts! Friendly, clean, excellent sandwiches and the best two IPA's I've had since visiting Florida the past 12 yrs! Both the Intracostal NEIPA and the Experiments Batch 4 Imperial were excellent. My wife also enjoyed the Porch Light lager and the Winter Citrus Shandy. Highly recommend checking out this brewery! read more

Very nice place, we really enjoyed our beers, food was good. The downside was that they were understaffed, I really hate when businesses don't hire enough wait staff, I don't get it. We definitely would have ordered another round if we hadn't had to wave our server down after waiting for a good while, I would think it would be more cost effective to hire additional staff read more

Cool hidden gem with great beer. New Found Luck and the Porch Light were excellent. Will definitely back

The service and the beer here are amazing! This is definitely the best beer I've had since moving to Florida from the west coast a couple years ago. The food is no slouch either even though it's very simple, but very well executed. I will definitely head here to pick up a sandwich and some beer before heading to the beach. There is absolute passion going into the products here. read more

Friendly staff and owners. Great beer and awesome panini's. Highly recommend! Best brewery in Venice by far!

Excellent food and service as always. The onion rings are amazing. Sydney gave us great service and put up with my boyfriend's goofy jokes and stories. We also love the salads and burgers. read more

Beers are good. But the atmosphere is so boring and plain. It's awkward when you walk in because it's kinda quiet and it's like everyone turns around to look at you walk in. The service is good too. But they need to add some better decorations or make this place feel more like home. I'd rather go to to Wally's dive bar or Outlook. read more

Highly recommend. A fun place to socialize with friends. Not to mention great beer. Good food trucks.

Great little place. Good, friendly service and great beer. I would recommend giving it a try. It might be your new favorite place.

I liked the beer I tryed but service was poor and they where very rude will never go back

Amazing brews!! Love having an awesome local brewery! I've tried a few of their brews, all were delicious! I will definitely be back!!
