Leroy's Fish Shack which occupied the former Village Fish Market, was still under renovation. We stop by next door, to the Village BrewHouse. This is off season and we were able to get an inside table with gulf view without any waiting time for lunch. As soon as we were seated, the place started to fill up. The hostess was friendly and waitress was great. We opted for the inside seating due to Floridian heat. We ordered Blueberry Waffle, Cod Tacos and Fajita wrap with French Fries and fresh fruit. The food was good. The Blueberries were very sweet; the Fajita wrap was tasty. The Cod was Lightly breaded and fried with power slaw, Pico de Gallo, and remoulade. This is a nice place for lunch or dinner with an excellent water view. It was fun sitting by the water and watching the boats! Service during the week dates are fine! We never been here on the weekend!

It looks like they have lots of events at this space so make sure to check their website or social media. There's a small parking lot but also free parking on the street outside. There's indoor and outdoor seating making it a great spot for groups. I got a flight and particularly liked the s'mores stout! We also got food from one of the on site vendors - it's a pretty cool idea, they have a 3 stall building in the courtyard, which I assume they could rotate vendors in. We got arepas and fried plantains which were both delish, but perhaps a little pricey. Overall, good beer, good vibes, I'd definitely come back!

We stopped by Oak & Stoney while visiting, and honestly it turned into one of those meals where you…read morekeep saying "okay this is the last thing we're ordering"... and then order something else. First, the food was great. We tried the mushroom burger, the smash burger, and a quinoa bowl, and everything was really good. The burgers were flavorful and satisfying, and the quinoa bowl made us feel like we were making at least one responsible life choice that day. But the real star of the show was the self-serve beer tap wall. They give you a wristband, you tap it on the machine, and pour whatever beer you want. Then you just pay for exactly how much you pour. Which sounds responsible... until you realize you can try a little bit of everything. We ended up sampling several different beers because it was just too fun not to. Tons of variety, and everything we tried was excellent. The only suggestion I'd have: it would be amazing if there was a small tasting station so people could try. When there are that many options, choosing can feel like a very serious life decision. Overall though, great food, a really fun concept, and a cool atmosphere. 10/10 would absolutely come back... mostly to "responsibly" test more beers.

The wine &…read morebeer bar is beautifully decorated and sits in a great location--just far enough from the noisy, busy downtown area, allowing you to feel relaxed, yet still convenient, with plenty of public parking nearby. They have a nice outdoor umbrella seating area plus high bar stools inside. The bagels are the real deal--legit New York bagels delivered from New York. Their mimosas are the best I've had anywhere in Sarasota. There's a wonderful variety for bagel lovers: excellent cream cheeses, the bagel with wild smoked salmon, and the classic bacon, egg & cheese (among many other options). Whatever breakfast craving you have, they've got something to satisfy it. The staff is super friendly and helpful--just a really nice group of guys. Highly recommend!

They run around and do a good job. I chose Sauvignon blanc and enjoyed. I was torn about what to eat. One of the servers, Jason, recommended the octopus and the meatballs- so I said ok! The meatballs came out first. They were tender and had a nice lamb flavor. I liked the hummus a lot. The pita was cold and stiff, but I ate it. The octopus came out hot. It had a nice citrusy sauce. It was cooked perfectly. Apparently they poach it, I asked. I always want to make something like this but I have yet to actually do it. Jason did bring a basket of crusty bread for the sauce on the octptus but I ate a few pita triangles so I skipped the bread. After my wine and tapas, I closed my tab. I easily found the restroom near the stage. I had walked over, but they do have a small parking lot of front and there's another one across the street. They have an event on the last Tuesday of each month. They close the store for it. Call ahead to make a reservation. I just missed the Wagyu wine pairing this week. Oops. They have music most nights. You can check their website for the event calendar.
