Plenty of "spaces" to sit, depending on your mood. Indoor, outdoor, high and low seating, family-friendly. Staff was very nice and helpful. Just the right amount of chatty. My wife loved her lager. The not so good. My only complaint here is a significant one considering we came to a brewing spot. I ordered the stout. I order them at any brewing place we visit. This was by far the most bland, watery stout I've tasted. I let the server know when she asked us how it was. She didn't have much to say about it. Seemed surprised to hear it. Other than that, the experience at Big Top was nice. We'd return on our way back from doing something in Sarasota.

The brewery is beautiful--inviting, relaxed, and the kind of spot where you immediately want to settle in for another round. Then came the IPAs. We sampled them all, and every pint told a different story. One crashed over you like a salty Gulf Coast wave, bold and full of energy. Another unfolded like a peaceful walk through a pine forest, layered with earthy bitterness and just the right touch of sweetness. No two tasted alike, and that's exactly what made the experience so much fun. The biggest surprise? Every IPA was memorable. We expected good. We found outstanding. Meeting the brewmaster was the icing on the cake. Learning he's a fellow Stone Brewing fan made for a great conversation, and you can taste the passion and creativity in every glass. To everyone at Calusa Brewing--high fives all around. You made fans out of us, and we can't wait to come back for another flight.

In the meantime, our server, O, brought the beer we told her he would not be back for a bit. We did not want the beer to get warm.. she left it. I would've liked her to take it back and bring him a fresh one, but it was never offered. Then at the end of the meal, I asked her if the tip was included because we were over six people, she said no it's not, when I read it on the menu. She took her card and then came back after a long time and the tip was on the bill already... I was not happy with the service. She did not seem to care about the customers. When I go back? Probably, but I would not want her as my server. A few of us in our family have worked in restaurants and had a whole different view on what you should've done to keep us coming back and despite the tip already be on there, which she said was not we would've given her an additional tip on top of the 20% if she would've taken the beer back in night or about the whole situation and not lie about the tip already being included.

When I got there, my party was already seated and I had to wait for them to bring another table over. By that time, the meat service had already started, so I missed some of the rotation. I checked out the food bar, the black beans looked good but had pork sausage in them, so I couldn't eat that. When the meats came around, most were medium rare or rare, which is too pink for me. I asked for a different temp and one of the guys kinda caught an attitude when I said the piece he gave me had too much fat. It got awkward real quick as he told me there is no fat on the meat. Also asked for A1 and it took a while. Overall, it wasn't terrible. I had a good time because I was with family, but food-wise it didn't wow me. If I'm doing Brazilian steakhouse, I'd rather drive to Texas de Brazil. If you're in Sarasota and don't feel like driving, Rodizio Grill is cool... just not my first pick.

For a pub, they actually have great food. It's a scratch kitchen so you can customize your order…read more The Florida Harvest salad was amazing. I got the side size and it was perfect but comes in a very small bowl making it hard to eat. If you get the side size, strongly suggest asking them to put it on a plate. The entree size actually looks the same amount of salad, but on a normal size dish. The blackened shrimp was cooked perfectly and the berry vinaigrette was amazing. It does have a pub feel so keep that in mind when going. It also gets very crowded so I suggest going at an "off" peak time if you want to try it.

Came here on a Thursday night for Bingo night and it was so much fun!…read more Some tips if you're going for Bingo: -Make a reservation ahead of time, and come early so you can eat first and then focus on your bingo cards! -Bingo starts around 6pm. There are colorful bingo markers on the table. -Bring cash! There's an ATM at the front of the restaurant if you forget. -Someone comes around to your table each round, and you can buy as many cards as you want for that round. Each round uses a different color of paper and a different shape to win. -Cards are $1 each for the first few rounds and $2 for the last couple of rounds. The jackpot for the first couple of rounds was around $250! -The numbers are called out and shown on multiple screens all over the restaurant, so it's easy to keep up. As for dinner, we ordered: Blue crab fritters, onion smashburger, shrimp & grits, and seafood pasta. I would skip the seafood pasta but I LOVED the blue crab fritters! They were so tasty, lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a great sauce on the side. The burger was also good, but the real winner was the fries. They were perfectly crispy and so good that we ordered another basket for the table! The shrimp and grits were also so well flavored. I would definitely go back just for the shrimp and grits.

The football game special prices are really not that special. Today we ordered the cheesesteak with just meat and cheese. But it came out with everything else. So it had to be sent back. The au jus tasted off, there was a slight pickle taste to it. The burgers were pretty good. Unfortunately, two of the drinks that we got from the special football menu had incorrect prices. We mentioned the one we had originally noticed to our server, and she did take the extra $2 off for the mule. But we didn't realize that the Heineken 0 we ordered had the incorrect price until we had already paid. So we paid an extra $1.50* for that unnecessarily. We did tell our server as we were walking out. She apologized again, but it's frustrating because we were incorrectly charged for a drink during a Steelers game last year. I'm sure we will go back to watch other games to be around other fans, but I would not make this my weekly Steelers hangout. They either need to correct their menu prices/make the specials more clear, or they need to fix their POS system. *Heineken 0 is listed as being $5, but we were charged $6.50. The bucket of 5 Heineken is listed as $29. It makes no sense to pay more money for 5 in a bucket than it would be for 5 singles ($25), so I'm guessing the $5 price on the menu is incorrect.

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!

The bar is large, with an amazing number of beer taps, many TVs and seating. We were quickly seated and given menus. The only thing I didn't like was that the beer menu has to be pulled up on your phone with a QR code. There are a lot of beers, and it would have been so much better to be able to view a whole menu and easily compare the choices. It was easier for me just to pick one of the first beers so I chose the Amber. Drinks were brought quickly and they gave us time to look at the menu. The Amber was good. There are plenty of appetizers, some salads, pizzas, handhelds and entrees. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Our food all arrived at the same time and was hot. My sandwich was super tasty and I loved the fries. Everyone liked their food. Service was good the entire time.

From our table, I could actually see my chicken sandwich sitting in the service window for quite some time before it was finally brought out. When the food arrived, the sandwich, fries, and cheese were all cold. I politely asked for the meal to be remade and inquired whether it would take another 30 minutes. Our server said they would get it out quickly and explained that they were busy. However, looking around the dining room, there were only a handful of occupied tables and two servers working. Several nearby tables were simply having drinks, so it was difficult to understand the delay. What was most disappointing wasn't even the cold food--it was the lack of acknowledgment. A simple apology or some communication about the delay would have gone a long way toward improving the experience. I understand that servers aren't responsible for cooking the food, but they do pass the service window regularly. If food has been sitting under the heat lamps for several minutes waiting on other items, someone should be checking on it or having it remade before it reaches the customer. We were hoping to add this restaurant to our list of regular dining spots, but based on this visit, it unfortunately didn't make the cut.
