Big Top Brewers Collective is so much fun on Friday nights with free line dancing. Val is the instructor and teaches several dances from 7-9pm. Anyone can join in from beginners to pros. The craft beers is great too. Try the Key Lime beer, you won't be disappointed! Highly recommend the brewery especially for the line dancing!
Love stopping by for a nice beer every now and then. The menu seems to rotate with some staples. Highly recommend coming by, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. The decor was set with Christmas themed during this visit. There is a good mix between bar seating, hi tops, and picnic benches. There is a pool table as well and a stage for random entertainment. Packaged beer to go as well.
Had some pretty good beverages here and after brewery hoping this place was probably the only one with some good beers on tap
I stopped by here on my birthday for a brew and a snack to start the day. The brewery is really nice and has a lot of seating space to accommodate even a large group. The taplist is pretty diverse although they didn't have many IPAs on the particular day I stopped by. Flights are $13 which is a good price based on the pour and the staff is very friendly. They do serve food as well. Get the wings! I ordered mine grilled, hot and wet. Tasty! There is a check-in offer for a free 3 pour flight which I forgot about when I ordered. The beertender said we would need to come back to use it which bummed me out, especially on my bday. Cool place overall if you are looking to try somewhere new in the Bradenton area.
Nice place. I love the rustic decor. Professional staff and great selection of beers. I opted for an American lager and very much enjoyed it. Highly Recommend! Military discount is a plus.
We stopped in close to dinner time and found out the dining room was closed for a few days because of some issue, so no dinner there. They have some 20 or so of their own beers on tap and we tried two of them. All good. They also have trivia and bingo on different nights, so we look forward to stopping in again, enjoying a beer and a bite, and perhaps one of the games.
Decided to try someplace new and had an average experience. The staff was very friendly, but overall the food we weren't blown away by. The burnt ends hushpuppies brought us in but were rather dry. The carnitas tacos were only saved by the toppings of slaw, pickled red onions, and lime crema. The pork was rather flavorless. The potato salad however was some of the best I've had. They have tons of beer options, so if that's what you're looking for you'll find something you like. Unfortunately, they ran out of cider so I tried the hard seltzer but it was not good. The smell of it was very off putting and the fruit flavors I wish were slightly more sweet and forward vs almost all seltzer flavor. Dog friendly, and mask optional, so those were nice options. And they also have live music.
My sister and I just finished outlet shopping and opted for a refreshing beverage to wash down our sorrows of spending way too much money. We found this place on yelp and knew we had to go there for the name alone. We walked into a large bar with game tables, a long seated bar, and plenty of table-top seating. It was the middle of the day, but still had about 15 customers inside. We sat at the bar and opted for a flight for me and a pint for my sister. In my flight I got the: Naughty Blonde, Brown Eyed Girl, Naughty Night In, and Some People Call Me Maurice. Loved the Naughty Night In - that may have been my favorite of the evening. All of the beers were quite good and it was just what we needed after a long day of shopping. Price: 5/5 Location: 4/5 a little tough to get here from St. Pete Bartender: 4/5 Beer Selection: 4/5
I'm sorry to report that Naughty Monk has been purchased by another brewery. The whole Naughty Monk theme is going away as are the amazing beers. The A-Typical Kitchen that worked with them is also no longer here. I called to order and learned all this. As I inquired what they had that I could pick up to go in cans or growlers, the person on the phone said "based on your questions, you already called earlier and I have to tend to my customers" and hung up. I had not called earlier, and this was incredibly rude. After all- I am a customer. Or was. We found another brewery nearby that has Crowlers.
Lauren T. has my heart. I went out with one of my girlfriends for beers and Lauren made sure we were more than taken care of. She was super personable and made great recommendations. We bonded over the house Pilsner and she recommended the Belgian Blonde and I loved it. Super fun, honest, and genuine bartender. Never get rid of her, she brings the life to this place. The ambiance is equally as subtle and genuine as her. Thanks y'all.
Just a head's up- No food served at this location at this time. We had a nice weekday afternoon sampling some of the beers on tap. Good service. Inside tables spaced for social distancing. Some seating outside as well.
A great selection of beers and some of the nicest folks! We enjoyed all of the beers we tried, especially their lager. We also ordered the pretzel logs and jalapeño poppers. The pretzels were warm and soft served with some great beer cheese sauce. The jalapeños were char broiled and not in a deep fried coating, which we loved! The staff was super friendly and very welcoming! They were the kind of people that make you want to go back and support the business. read more
3.5 This place can be hit or miss. Sometimes it is good. Sometimes it is a mad house with everyone crammed to one side with a big portion of the room set for line dancing. It would be fun if the place had the accurate space for it. I try to stay outside, but the Florida weather isn't always cooperative. 10.11.2025 read more

A hike for us for sure but you learn to group things or make full day plans in that area. The place was busy with a lot of families and kids running around but I believe there was family party going on during our visit. So that part made it a little difficult to get a drink timely and enjoy it. This is one that you have to return to as often times places may just be off on a specific day but deserve a second chance. Update to come. read more

I had to come here a few times before I could honestly write a fair review. The owners of the establishment are very nice and they have a goldmine in this brewery as it is the only one in Lakewood Ranch or "out East". They have plenty of beers on tap and they also serve wine and cider. The bartenders are still learning the new beers and their profiles so be prepared to taste test a bunch of stuff. This will change in time as this joint has only been open a few weeks so far. Bottom Line: A great place to drink and sample a plethora of tasty beers. Highly recommended! read more

We had a nice time at the Naughty Monk Brewery in Bradenton. I really love the Mascot of the Brewery which is a monk with a paddle. We ordered a flight of brews which included the Naughty Abbey Ale, Naughty Redhead which was a Red Ale, Naughty 4 Play which was a Belgian Quad, Presidential Honey Ale, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter which was a Porter. I was pretty happy with all our selections. Normally a lot of the Red Ales are too bitter but this one was just right! In addition we tried the Naughty Blonde (my favorite), the Du Mi Dubbel (great name), Mad Willie XXX Belgian Tripel, and Reel Naughty. Our bartender was pretty friendly in helping us pick out beers and with giving us some tasters. A lot of the beers were very strong in the 9% range which was great! In addition to craft beer, this brewery also has 7 types of wines, TV's for watching the lightning game, pool tables, darts, corn hole, and giant Jenga! However, this brewery does not serve food but has no problem letting you bring in food or ordering food to the brewery. This brewey has a chalk board where people can "beer it forward" and buy beer for a friend or random person the bartender chooses in the future. This brewery is larger indoors than most other breweries and felt a bit empty inside because of the largeness to the place and the lack of people here. I'm told this place gets packed in the evenings. Look forward to coming back soon to try more brews! read more

First time here, and we enjoyed it. Lots of crafted beers (which I don't drink), however, the wines were very nice, not jug wine, and reasonably priced. I had the Hawaiian Pulled Pork with their special corn as my side of choice. Hubby had Carnita Tacos with their special beans as his side. Food was delicious, hot, and fresh. Especially the pulled pork. Service was very good. Only criticism is that the bartenders did not wear masks full-time. The food is served in boxes, not on plates, and you have to 'like' build your own. i.e. like everything is take-out. Don't know if this is traditional, or a safe-guard for COVID. Patrons were spaced appropriately. Lots of TV's, and some electronic games & darts. Ample free parking. Did not use restrooms. Would definitely go back. read more

One of our favorite local hangout locations. The beer is delicious and the atmosphere is fun. They have food trucks come visit and you can bring your meal inside the brewery to eat while you enjoy good beer. Dog friendly! And sometimes you might even catch a really cute baby there read more

Been here a handful of times and it's good. I'm not in love with the selection of beers they have, but it has a lot going for it. Bernadette is a super nice bartender and she always super helpful. They always let you sample beers and they let you bring your own food in which is very nice. You can bring it with you or have it delivered. They have a ton of board games and pool tables (although at $5/pp p/hr, it's pricey) Great that there is actually a place to get drinks in the East Bradenton area. read more

Great brewery with some good beers on tap. No sours yet that we've seen on tap, but super dog friendly and great service that makes you feel like you're meant to be nowhere else but right there. It's a perfect location for my husband and I and we visit frequently to get an IPA with our pup as there's always other pups hanging out. The staff are all friendly and love on our dog, and the people we meet there are always great. read more

Not a big fan of Belgian beers, heck, Ommegang is a little over an hour from my house, and I'm so not a fan of their beers (too pretentious), but the Naughty Monk was pretty darn good The Naughty Amber was my favorite. Also tried the Naughty Blonde, The CoCo Joy Stout and the Blueberry Lyte. The Owners were nice and attentive. Only wish they served food. read more
