I went there early in the evening one night to chill out and have wine. The place is relaxing, inviting and the service is great. We had RJ taking care of us and after service is some wine he gave us a history of the art on the walls... totally fun and we stayed for another glass. Great place to chill out alone or with a group of people. Someone told me that they didn't like this place because they played super loud house music but when I went they played kick ass old school rock and I could still talk to my friend. I'm not a fan of smoking but I will deal with it if Im not choking on it. If smoke bothers you then you may not like it. OH! They even have a cigarette machine that works (no lie) read more

I have enjoyed socializing at FooBar and the great atmosphere for years. I especially enjoyed going there to see my favorite downtown Melbourne bartender, Crystal. She always made my foo experience top-tier! I was stunned and rather upset to find out that she is no longer bartending there. FooBar is not the same with out Crystal's infectious joy and customer appreciation. I only hope that the owners come to their senses and hire her back. read more

Went there while on vacation, just trying to enjoy a drink and was getting harassed by regulars. Being called a "homosexual" bc I didn't want to talk. Bartender was very polite however and apologized for it. Wouldn't recommend read more

3.5 HH all day Sunday. Drink specials different days during the week. I enjoyed this bar much more before my phone got stolen here. The DJ is a vibe. I mainly drink beer here. It can get a bit pricey if it's not a day/ night specials are goin. I continue to come here bc the bartenders are nice & add to the good time. It can get busy & sometimes be a wait for a drink. read more

It was my first time visiting the area with my boyfriend and it was my bday so we wanted to check out a local bar. We were ID'd and had my bag checked upon arrival, the guard was very friendly. There's exterior seating and speakers so we can vibe out to the music outside and inside. The interior is very speakeasy vibes with couches and seating at the bar. The bartender was cool & offered us his new creation, a spin on an Old Fashioned, called "New Fashioned"--super tasty! You can smoke inside and outside the bar, which is awesome especially if you enjoy smoking cigars. Overall super chill experience I just wish they'd played a wider range of musical genres. read more

Website states Happy Hour Every Day however we were told by the bartender, if you could call her that, that Happy hour was not on Saturday. Ordered the Foo Rum Punch which according to the menu has filthy cherry juice and a filthy cherry garnish. Got a maraschino cherry ( Not the same) VERY DISAPPOINTED! read more

Saw a bouncer pushing a young girl I understand they close at a certain time but he was being really aggressive and it put me off some bald guy and looked like she was only trying to find her friends. read more

Bouncer is a joke. Nothing quite like a bad taste entering a place that is trying to make it after they shutdown due to Covid. Guy is spewing off about dress code and looks like he's in a clown suit for a birthday party. Enjoy your overpriced drinks and cigar-ridden chimney house. Hopefully something better will fill this spot soon! Update as of later the same night: I have found out that the bouncer is the owner. I will be sure to drop off some animal balloons next time I pass by, for the clown out front. read more

Foo Bar - The owner/bouncer out front on his high horse trying to explain an enforced dress-code while in clown attire...goodbye! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

A nice addition as being part of the downtown Melbourne experience! A very laid back yet flirtatious place due to the dimly lit setting with cute bartenders serving drinks. When it is crowded, the experience may be a bit overwhelming, but is an exceptional place when it is not at that level. The room has a mix of both younger and older crowds, but everyone is here to have a good time. Just keep calm, chat with friends, and let the rhythm slowly take you away! read more

Foo Bar - Daily Happy Hour Specials! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

This used to be one of my favorite bars DT, however, they changed bar tenders, became more casual, then their new bar tenders just blended in with all the other bars and could not make specialty drinks, in addition to that, the art from the walls are non existent any longer and the great energy that was once there is now gone. Seems like the owner has lost interest in this bar- and you can feel it. We went there for New Years 2020- they played house music all night, no words, no waitresses to take drink orders, no class----there was no countdown to the new year. This bar has lots of potential, but sadly it's being wasted on feeling like just another cheap watering hole.. read more

The best spot in downtown! Always an amazing time.... refreshingly great Cocktails and unique collection of Top Shelf Liquors!! All the bartenders are knowledgeable and attentive, the new owners are pretty great too read more

I went to this place at Saturday, kinda small but fun and the bar tenders are nice and professional, I ordered the espresso martini it's was delicious , vibe are great , if you get annoyed by the smell of smoking then this place is not for you lol read more

Foo Bar - A super place to relax and enjoy with friends. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

I have been here many times with my wife and her friend, it used to be a fun experience, but lately on Saturdays they seem to have a problem with operations of the establishment opening on time, it usually opens on 3 on Saturdays, but lately it's been hit and miss, it didn't open until 4:45 this particular Saturday and was off to a rough start, the ambiance was very boring and drinks were slow, it seems they have a management problem, hope it's resolved soon. read more

After supporting this local bar for almost a year, I'm not sure I can anymore. For the first time my boyfriend and I got turned away for the way we were dressed. Never in all the time I have been coming have they had a dress code. Bouncer saw me and my partner holding hands before entering and suddenly they had a dress code not allowing me to wear a tank top. Women were allowed in with tanks and Halters, but not me? New management has turned for the worst. My partner and I used to feel safe coming here in Melbourne, not anymore. read more

We loved this place! Whoever owns this takes great care and detail in all aspects. The decor, the art, the mutually. Plenty of places to get comfy inside and the porch area is amazing. The bartenders are knowledgable. We ordered on the menu of original drinks and also asked for a Singapore Sling, without hesitation she created it, she also made sure we liked them. This place is just full of care. It's a adult bar oasis of sorts and worth the time especially if you like cocktails and art. read more

great atmosphere...great music ... and the best bartender (Trudy) ...in all town! i'm feeling at home there every time ! 5star ! read more

Trudy is great! She always gives the best service and makes the best drinks! Definitely recommend!

I have been here a couple of times before, but never had the chance to hang around and sit down until last night. While the music is definitely edgy, and the seating is nice and relaxing, the bartenders, bouncer and managers are pieces of shit walking the Earth. These people turn on the lights 25 minutes before closing time, and the bouncer and the bartenders started pacing up-and-down the bar harassing people and bullying them to finish up their drinks. I understand the need to enforce the law, however not everyone in a bar at closing time deserves to be treated like sloppy drunk college kids. I went here with a friend, and we were both severely disappointed with the staffs behavior. Both of us were harassed and bullied to finish our beers multiple times. when my friend went into the restroom, a bartender pounded on the door and specifically instructed him to "not take a shit". I was literally pushed out of the bar at 1:50 AM, despite the fact that I told them that I am waiting on my friend who was in the restroom. I just find this behavior absolutely appalling, and unacceptable. They have lost my business. read more

I've been in Melbourne for 3 months. This place has the friendliest patrons, allows smoking indoors, and plays soft-house music. A fully stocked bar, plenty of comfy seats, and decently priced drinks. This place has an older vibe 30s-40s. It is very lounge-y and isn't overly loud. Bartenders are quick with drinks and they are strong. This is definitely my favorite place in all of downtown Melbourne. Foo-tastic! read more

This is my favorite bar in Brevard. The space is hot. The cocktails are excellent. The music is fresh. The crowd looks great. What else can you want right? So come by, sit back, order a drink, and enjoy the vibe. If you see me, stop by and say hi, I wont bite. read more

Foo Bar is exactly that, a bar. Not a night club and not a PUB. Its an upscale bar with tons of attitude. Walking in you realize this is not a bar you expected. The outside patio just makes you relax as soon as you look around. It's the only bar in downtown Melbourne that looks like it was decorated by a professional interior designer. As a matter of fact, it actually was. The female owner has taken great pride in showing off all of the hard work she has put into the place. The outside patio that has huge cushiony couches and coffee tables. There is a gorgeous custom made all wood bar ( I'm guessing $10k worth?!) and back wall. The leather bar stools and ottomans are studded and there is a couch that wraps around one wall!! Custom Again. The music during weekend nights turns into house music but during the week you can hear anything from 80's to good old classic favorites. The bar and waitstaff are truely one of a kind. The owner and managers really take their time in picking the staff. They are all very genuine and very pleasant and the service is great when it is not packed. You will have to be pacient when it is. This place goes from spacious and roomy to butt to belly button on Thursday through Saturday nights. there are only two bathrooms in the bar and they are unisex. if you and your friend need to go weeeeeeeeee bring them along because the lines get long. the coveted spot in Foo Bar is the U shape "NOOK". That's where I look for my best friend. He will be the one with his shoes off and bare footed or in the winter comfy warm socks sticking out.. The patrons are very ecletic. You have your typical clubbers and college students but you will see the more experienced folk there too to have a glass of wine or a Rob Roy. I have been there on numerous ocassion and if you want a place to hang out, take it easy and meet wonderful people this is the place to go. whenever i get the chance i will be there having a merlot... And if you ever want to try this hidden treasure say hello to the beautiful redhead Casey behind the bar. Tip her well and she rocks!! read more

As far as Melbourne Florida goes, this place always is a good choice for meeting up with friends. It is a pub atmosphere with an upscale edge, including some interesting art on the walls, sofa's to relax on and a fireplace. The bar staff is friendly and the locals fun. Have fun. read more

Foo Bar - Some Neat Art @ Foo Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

The place itself is very nice. Comfortable seats, indoors is nice, and the outside sitting area is great as well. The drinks taste good and they have a happy hour. The bad: I would never recommend ordering a mixed drink from this place. The prices aren't listed anywhere and I'm pretty sure you just get gouged depending on if your a guy or a girl and the mood of the bartender. read more

The hubby and I were up in Melbourne for Fat Tuesday and were hitting a few establishments along the "strip." Post dinner, we were looking for a place to have dessert and while walking past, peeked in Foo Bar. We stopped, looked at each other and both commented in unison, "that place looks cool!" We figured a pre dessert cocktail would be swell and went inside. The bar is beautiful: a wonderful mix of casual, tropical chic & eclectic. Seeing as it was early and only a few patrons were inside, we sat right at the bar. Our bartender rocked: (Scott) Attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and maker of damn good drinks. Margarita: one of, if not thee best, I've ever had. The bar started to fill up around 9 and Scott handled it effortlessly. He did have relief arrive--as I'm sure it continued to get busier after we left. We will definitely be back...next Tuesday in fact! Ben Prestage will be performing and I've been trying to get my hubby to one of his shows for 2 years now. Loved this place. A new hangout for us and friends for sure. read more

I'm giving this place 1 star because I liked the company I went with. Cons: Music was too loud & just noise with few words: The couches and throw pillows were way too cozy--some of the patrons seriously needed a ROOM!: The waitress was too busy to get us an ice bucket for our overly-priced bottle of Champagne. As a matter of fact, she was too busy to even take a tip I was trying to give her. ((Her loss)) Too dark, too smokey--just not something I usually go for when I go out. Thank goodness I didn't have to go to the restroom based on the other reviews. I don't plan to go back. read more

Nice atmosphere, but with two parties on the patio it took 20 minutes to get a drink. After taking the order but ten minutes before I got the drink the server was intent on knowing how I would like to pay for it. She actually presented the bill before the drink! I like the ambiance/vibe of this place, but the service outside was horrendous. Can't say how the bartender was, didn't stick around to try it out. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did, but if I return its strictly for the ambiance of the patio, and I'll order drinks from the bar instead of from the wacky wait staff! read more

This was the worst experience ever!! I came here on vacation to experience Downtown Melbourne and Foo Bar was recommended, to then have the bartenders and security start screaming at 1:44am Mind you the sign said open u til 2am EVERYONE GET OUT!!! I have never in my life been treated so unprofessionally. Had you came up and said ok guys we are closing in 15 min please drink your drinks and exit the bar, but NO screaming and saying I don't care your watch says 1:44am unexceptionable No ma'am, This was a birthday trip and our first outing on this trip to have to experience such treatment was unexceptionable. I don't know how their open still but I WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE AGAIN!!!! read more

Stopped in last night. Great place! Nice atmosphere, open air setting and a fun bar staff. The only negative thing I can say relates to the bathrooms. First, there are only two and they are co-ed. (So guys, get in line behind the girls!) Second, there is a creepy sign in the bathrooms that say you are under surveillance to prevent vandalism. (So, essentially they are saying that a camera is watching you as you strip down to do your business.) Creepy. In short: Go here, have a great time: But hold it until you leave. read more

I'll start by saying although I'm not overly fond of this place, I have been here several times when my friends wanted to go. They're a bit pricey for mixed drinks. $8 for a Jim Beam and Coke, for example. We normally get very decent service, which is the only reason I returned in the past. This is not my stance after last night. I was here with a small group of friends, 4 of us. At 1:44am my phone rang from another friend that needed a ride. The place was packed and I had to step right outside to hear the phone. I went to immediately walk back in to rejoin my friends who were 15 feet away. The bouncer told me they already did last call, and I couldn't return. I explained I had a tab, and he rudely said he would escort me to get my card. I corrected him, pointed to my friends and explained, "its not my card, we have a tab as a group under her card, but I need to pay my portion." He said I was "pulling a slick one" and informed me I needed to leave or he would remove me. He then sized me up. Note-I'm not a small guy, but am a multiple combat tour Army Special Operation veteran, who has never been kicked out of a bar in his life. I replied. "Are you serious, I simply need to pay my tab." He proceeded to physically remove me. There was no struggle or resistance, but he ended our little confrontation with, "And don't come here anymore." Even the other patrons around me were astonished at the aggressive actions of this bouncer . Keep in mind, the place was still packed. I bored you with the story only to let you know this place didn't treat me properly. When that happens, they not deserve business. Especially at $8 for a Beam and Coke. Thanks for your advice Token, I won't be returning. read more

So apparently one of the air conditioners is broken and instead of FIXING IT, their solution is to turn one up so high that you freeze if you sit next to the door or sweat if you sit farther inside (i think it rains in the middle). Great plan! Bartenders are lazy and shiftless and it takes way too long to get your first beer and even longer to get another because if you ain't a life long chum you're considered second rate. Now a lot of people will say that I am posting this because I got banned for a month after getting caught having sex in the bathroom but that's not it. Everything I said is true, the place is your typical substandard Melbourne Florida dive read more

The drinks are a little pricey, but the atmosphere is pretty cool. I wish it were more ventilated; not wild about so much cigarette smoke since I don't smoke. I found out this place is dog friendly - not just outside, but inside, too, including on the couches. That might get me to come back here again with my boys. I also really like the hospitality and courteousness of server Mauricio and bartenders Tabbitha and Scott. This place is also crazy busy on the weekends, so I try and come when it's quieter, but still enough people to talk to on week days. read more
