Best Happy Hour we have found in downtown Sanford. You seat yourself after ordering from the bar as no servers outside at this time. We came twice during our trip because of the great outdoor dining experience and excellent service from the bartenders. They have a very limited menu and the lady working it, stayed on her phone lol. The bar is clean enough but the ladies restroom could benefit by a deal clean and fixing up a bit. The atmosphere is so nice and it's kid/pet friendly. One thing I especially loved were the nice wine glasses you can take outside. So many places have gone to plastic and while we understand, it's so appreciated. Come with confidence. read more

Celery City Bar is hands down one of the most unprofessional bars I've ever stepped into. Both bartenders were visibly drunk, rude, and acting like they were the main characters in a sad little power trip. I ordered an espresso martini from one bartender. Another randomly made it without confirming, then absolutely spiraled when I asked about my drink. Instead of clearing it up, he chose public humiliation berating and talking down to me at the bar like I'd committed some unforgivable crime. Full medieval town-shaming energy. Shame bell not included. What were they busy doing instead of their jobs? Flirting with freshly-21 customers and openly staring at their chests. If you weren't new, young, or feeding their ego, you were invisible or worse, a target. Two grown adults behind a bar acting like sloppy, insecure children with alcohol and an attitude problem. No class. No taste. No professionalism. Just embarrassing behavior that would get you fired anywhere that actually cared about standards. Save your money, skip the humiliation, and go literally anywhere else. read more

Celery City Craft is a craft beer spot located in Downtown Sanford. It is a nice bar that has a lot of drink options. My husband and I have not been to downtown Sanford but recently did come for a friend's birthday. She wanted to hop around different drink spots and have dinner. Since we carpooled, parking was better. We were able to find street parking. There is no designated parking for this spot. We got there very early and decided to stop here. We ended up coming back later with everyone but we enjoyed it. This is a small bar with standing room only at the bar but then they have a huge back area with lots of bench style tables and seating. Their drink menu is also very large with tons of beer options to choose from. They offered a wide range of beers, craft beer, stouts, ciders and more. I am not a huge craft beer fan so I struggled. I ended up telling the bartender what I like and he had a couple of suggestions. He also let me sample one of the ciders, which I ended up getting. I choose the Cider Boys Strawberry Cider. Really great, not overly sweet just very tasty. My husband loves craft beer and will always look for one with a high ABV. He went with the Voodoo Where our Secrets go Stout Imperial from Pennsylvania. It had a high ABV and was a dark beer, he really enjoyed it. Both times we sat outside. The second time we came over, was later in the evening and more full than the first time. They also had a musician singing, which made it extremely loud and very hard for our group to chat. Overall this is a great spot. If we lived closer I could see us coming here more frequently. We do not find ourselves visiting Sanford a lot but if we are in the area, we would for swing by again. If you live closer, I would highly recommend coming here for the vibes, the ambiance and the beers. You can also bring your dogs which is a nice touch. My only negative is there is not food to order. I would love some bar snacks or pub style food. You can bring your own food in but it would make this an A Plus if you they served food. read more

Celery City Craft is located in Downtown Sanford. This is a nice bar with tons of options. We recently came here twice for a friend's birthday. She wanted to bar hop around Sanford and have dinner at the Old Jailhouse. We car pooled with some friends and got there really early. Since Celery City is across the street from the restaurant we decided to stop here before and grab a drink. We ended up coming back here later as well. This is a small bar with standing room only and then a huge back area with tons of tables and seating. Their menu is also very large with tons of options to choose from. They are a local stop so they had tons of local options as well as additional options. It was a tad overwhelming for my wife, she is not a super huge fan of craft beer. But she found one that looked interesting and they gave her a sample to taste first. She chose the Cider Boys Strawberry Cider. I went with a dark beer with high ABV. This is always my go to. It was really good actually, I would I choose the Voodoo Where our Secrets go Stout Imperial from Pennsylvania. We ended up sitting outside both times we visited that night. The second time, was later in the evening and they had a musician singing. The second time we stopped here it was extremely loud with the musician and our group had a tough time talking to each other. Overall through, this is a great spot. If we lived closer I could see us coming here a lot especially on a Friday night. Grab a beer, sit outside and relax. People had their dogs which was great. It was a really fun and chill atmosphere with tons of beer options. My only negative is there is no food to purchase. Around that area there is not a ton of quick grab and go style food. If they served food like pub style food, it would be perfect. You can bring your own food in so you could have a picnic and grab some great beer! read more

This place is getting a 4 star rating from me only because of the vibes. Great huge snd clean beer garden outside. The beers were good a lot of variety. I ordered two of thr triples and thought they were good. My wife kept having different stouts. There isn't a great variety of food , just sushi and basic sushi, however they let you bring in food so that's OK. The staff was not very nice. Those bartenders were a bit rude to me and my wife. However loved the experience and would come back read more

Great beers and beer garden in Orlando!!! In the heart of the historic center of Sanford, the location of this brewery is awesome!! And I love the outside patio area!! There's a cigar shop right next door which is also perfect. The beers were great. There are like 45 beers to choose from so good variety. My only complain was the staff. The bartenders were really rude. But w.e I just need my beer and I'll enjoy the rest of the place!! read more

We chose to enjoy the outdoor beer garden at Celery City after flying in at SFB. They have late hours and we were able to get an order in with the food vendor before he closed at 10pm. The beer selection and the Korean wings and potstickers we ordered were phenomenal. They have tvs playing sports and good music on the speakers. We loved the outdoor string lights and the Christmas colors too. read more

The service was quick and seamless. You order at the window and they call you when it's ready. There is indoor or outdoor seating and they often have live music. This is a great place to come for lunch or to hang out and get drinks. Kid and pet friendly! The food was so much better than I expected. I loved it all! Great flavors and good for sharing if you get a bunch. I think the pot stickers and cucumbers were my favorite. read more

Great place to meet up with friends & grab a tasty drink. Nice vibes, lovely decor. A little small indoors, but outdoors is great.

This place reminds me of Citrus City Craft in Lake Mary. If you like it there, you will like it here. Full bar in addition to the extensive craft beer selection. They have Sushi & Seoul just outside in their beer garden area where they also have live entertainment at times. Service is awesome. You can use Sushi & Seoul for food and if you don't find something on that menu to your taste I am sure you could bring it in from somewhere else too. Overall, just a great spot that has a permanent food truck without wheels attached to it outside. read more

The outdoor seating is relaxing and inviting for social outings. Huge plus 4-legged fur-babies are welcomed too!

What a fun little brewery with awesome events and activities for the community. We've enjoyed sushi, brews, mini golf, pets, markets and more in the adorable backyard style outdoor seating area. Their list of beverages (including NA options!) is extensive and has something for everyone. read more

Went down to Sanford for Christmas and wanted to check out celery city craft because my fiancé used to go there in her 20s. We had an amazing time. The bartender was awesome. His name was Creature which made it even better. From someone that's also in the food industry definitely recommend this place to go and ask for creature. read more

They have a lot of beer choices. Not just from Deloris's Balut from California to New York. Mid range prices for beer. Did not order food. Came on the second Sunday and they have food trucks around the block. The place has live music and right in the middle of action. read more

This is one of my go to spots in Sanford. They always have a good selection of beers to choose from - I personally like their selection of sours. There's plenty of seating outdoors but the seating indoors is limited. The servers are friendly and work quickly to get you your drinks. They're also dog friendly! read more

Little tiny place that's definitely worth the hunt. Drinks are delicious and it's such a step up from regular bar food. I wouldn't even call it bar food. There's a lovely outside patio that's lets you enjoy the ambiance. Food is absolutely delicious, especially the sushi! Don't miss this one! read more

Nice large outdoor venue. Service was fine. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my experience when I ordered a cocktail. Leaving out liquors to a very common drink because "it's how we make it here" is not standard practice and extremely inaccurate and dishonest. Bummed for sure read more

Outside is a 4/Bathroom is a 2 We found seats near the front area around 7pm and went in for a drink. I went with a Huckleberry lemonade ($10) and it was tasty. It was packed but not insanely, was able to quickly get my drink in hand. We sat there for about an hour, listening to the live singer and getting bit bitten up by bugs. Closed the tab to wander to the next location and then came back after hitting several other locations in the area. We found a different seating area and then I needed to go to the bathroom where there is no fan, no AC - just pure absolute heat in a two-stall area. Walked in and prayed that I could leave quickly, it was that bad. Due to there being no circulating air, the stench was overtly unpleasant and stale. Please get some fans or an AC working in those bathrooms! read more

Celery City is one of my favorite places in Sandford! They have like 50 rotating beer options so if you're a beer fan this place is for you. The bartenders are always cool. They don't mind giving you samples before you make your selection. This place has outdoor seating and live music some nights. Highly recommend!!! read more

A very fun spot to hangout at! My boyfriend and I stopped by this place while waiting for our dinner reservations across the street. We were invited by the music and the amount of people coming inside the establishment. We went straight to the bar and were overwhelmed with their beer selections. The bartender being very patient and knowledgeable, he gave us a bunch of samples to try before spending dollars on a pint. We ended up trying their #21 - Central 28 which is a Light Lager. Similar taste to Stella. It's really cheap there too and lots of seating so you'll always be comfortable. They also have a pop-up shop for food which is a great touch to a brewery. I can't wait to come back and try more drafts! read more

I went there with my husband last night for dinner! There was a life brand playing and we sat at the outdoor area on the picnic tables! It was a nice night outside! We got some sushi for dinner and then I got some drink from the bar! Avocado towers never disappointed! I tried their vendor box with spicy tuna rolls, pork dumplings and seaweed salad! So yummy! I got a sangria, my fav! All the hostesses and bartenders are friendly and attentive even on this busy night! read more

I really loved the outdoor ambiance on our visit here in a Friday night a few weeks ago. Plenty of seating, dog friendly, live music that was not overly loud and was crowd friendly. I plan on bringing adult family members out for a fun night out in a few weeks when it's cooler. The drink selection was good, staff seemed to be on top of getting people served. Restrooms were clean and I was happy there was more than 1 stall. read more

This was my first time to any of the Sanford bars and I really enjoyed this one! Granted, we did not eat here. But I think their beer selection as well as their atmosphere really rocked! We went during happy hour on a Friday and their local beers were only $4.00. I opted for one of their Casselberry, FL beers, Daydream Tangerine (which was not the greatest) and then tried a BlueRazz Seltzerrr. That one was interesting:) Their outside area is great with a bunch of tables and games to keep people occupied. At night they put on their outside lights which made a very pretty outdoor area. I would highly recommend this bar as one of your stops! read more

One of my go to spots for beer in Sanford. They have a huge selection of beers and great cocktails if you aren't a beer fan. I love the atmosphere of the place, very laid back and fun. They have a giant outdoor seating area which is great for dog owners. Celery City is always a good time. read more

A great spot to grab a beer (or frozen drinks) in Sanford while being able to grab some fresh air and delicious sushi from Sushi & Seoul. I love how they have done some updates to the seating area and even have fans now. The staff is always friendly and attentive and the courtyard is always well kept. read more

It's our first time here and it's pretty cool. Live music, amazing selection of beer, and they let you try a couple before you commit so that's nice. I always return to places that let me try something before committing as I'm still sorting my beer palette. Plus different breweries have varied options on some categories, in my experience. My favorite breweries remain in Colorado, but I'm trying to find some local beers I can rely on. Working on it. Staff are nice. One of the dogs here this evening is barking louder and longer than the entertainment.....we actually left a couple hours ago and came back because of this bad dog owner, but the dog is STILL barking. Love dogs, absolutely love dogs....if they are barking THIS much.....there is a reason. The poor thing clearly doesn't enjoy this environment, why on earth all these hours later he hasn't been asked to leave is a disappointment. I feel so bad for the dog. I'd never force my fur-babes through this. The other puppers are all having a good time and I love that. Definitely going to have my friend in Lakeland come visit with her doggos and I know we will have the best time! Live entertainment is really nice and helps give a chill vibe to the end of a stressful week. Grateful for the staff and entertainers this evening. read more

Such a fun place. They have a huge outdoor presence. Their indoor space is limited. Love that they had a costume contest on Halloween. The DJ was great. We were entertained by the amazing costumes- ghostbuster, avatar, aqua man etc. we tried the berry cbd cocktail and the key lime pie cbd cocktail. Both were tasty. Did not detect the cbd but maybe it helped me sleep better? Cool to be able to try that though. Service was fast considering how busy it was. Would definitely come back and try more on their menu. read more

Celery City Craft - Key lime CBD cocktail - Bars Near Me - Sanford, Florida

One of my fav places in downtown Sanford to hang out and chill at. If you haven't been to Celery City, you are missing a vibe! The menu is extensive! They have a ton of local and not so local beers on the menu plus cocktails, including some CBD ones and on tap ones. The highlight is the open beer garden area with the benches and hanging lights. Lots of seating options so perfect for a big group of people. My favorite time to visit is at night. It's a cozy feeling for sure, especially with the lights. Perfect for a date night or just a casual hangout with friends. They usually have live music at night too. I also love that this place is pet friendly! It's so cute to see all the dogs here. During my last visit, I had the sangria which was delicious! A potent mix of wine and sweetness. So so so good. I'm not really a beer drinker so the drinks I get here are either their cocktails or seltzers. I've never had a terrible drink here! It's always been an enjoyable experience. You have to order at the bar area and when they are busy, it can get real crowded. If you are hungry, you can grab a bite at the Sushi & Seoul counter. I haven't tried their food yet but it looks delicious. Can't wait to try it on my next visit! read more

I would designate this a hipster bar, always a very mixed crowd and lots of fun. Also has sidewalk seating and tables. In all the years I've been to Gasparilla Pirate Festival, (14), I've never had Gasparilla rum, distilled in Tampa. It is a delicious spiced room and now my Captain Morgan private stock is boring! read more

Great cocktails, awesome beer selection. We enjoyed the outdoor beer garden area and the sushi spot was the absolute highlight. Some of the best sushi we've had anywhere; being from NY and Maine, that's saying a lot. read more

Beer selection was okay, nothing special. Bartender was rude like rushing my wife and I to place our order. The food was terrible and the chicken tasted like crap. The only thing they have going is the outside seating. I do not recommend and will not be going back any time soon. read more

Love the outdoor seating. Perfect for family. While the old folks drink craft beers, kids can play and eat food from sushi and Seoul which is located in the back of the bar. Their korean fried chicken was good and it has 6 pieces og wings for $16. They also serve bento box for $16, it comes with sushi rolls, salad and potstickers. read more

With so many new bars and brewerys in Sanford, one would think that the crowds would be scattered around the town. But Celery City Craft is just such a nice place that it's a magnet for fun folks. So yeah, it gets a little busy at times. That's one reason I like going there. (if you go to a bar to be alone, it's kinda sad) The bar also sponsors a LOT of events in Sanford, and this is one reason for the loyal clientele (also, the Shane-Gang are awesome, friendly, and professional people, so this helps boost the magnetism even more) The overall atmosphere of the place is bright and welcoming. The entertainment happens seemingly every afternoon/evening, and be sure not to miss Tuesday Trivia Night. Pick out a good team name before you show up! read more

Celery heads for tap handles and options galore deserves a tip of the hat to another business that makes downtown Sanford a place to play and stay. A stop by for after dinner drinks left me and my group thirsty no more. It was a Monday night and thee streets of Sanford are half closed. Celery City Craft was pretty busy leaving us waiting for several minutes to get a drink. The bartender was friendly to most that he knew but seemed a little impatient with those he didn't. Nonetheless, when we ordered our drinks were quickly served and dang good. Seating outside is a great option because the bar and inside seating is pretty cramped. There's nothing spectacular about the outside but open and roomy picnic tables equipped with umbrellas. read more
