Apart from an excellent selection of beer, the food is simply amazing. The pizza and the Philly cheese rolls, are the best I've ever had.

We found this gem on yelp so it's only appropriate to comment. What a great place! The brewery itself was very welcoming and friendly service from the minute we walked in the door. We shared a chicken bacon ranch pizza and it did not disappoint. The brews were cold and delicious. Loved the vibe of the place. We will definitely be back. read more

This is our second time trying Inner Compass. First time wasn't spectacular, but we thought it was worthwhile to try again. The food is okay and drinks are good. The service is fine for the most part. Our server this last time was extremely inattentive. She stopped at our table a total of 3 times while we were there for almost an hour. The first was to say she was dropping something off and then would be back. The second was to greet us and grab our drink orders. The third was to get our food order. We prefaced that we were just getting an appetizer, not a big deal. She never came back after that. My husband and I finished our beers before we got our app and sat with them empty for probably 20+ minutes. I finished my water and that was empty for probably 15 minutes and had to share my husbands water since we couldn't even get a refill there. We watched our server walk past our table multiple times while everything was empty. At this point, we just wanted our check, which my husband had to get her attention to ask for it. It's just unacceptable for us to be sitting there with no service and have to track down our server. They weren't packed so there is zero excuse for it. The people who looked like regulars there had no problem getting her attention. The rest of the staff was attentive and quick with their service. read more

We were very pleasantly surprised to find such great ambiance at Inner compass. My wife and I ordered a selection of appetizers for lunch and found every one to be delicious. The variety of beers was amazing with the descriptions, ABV and prices clearly posted on a video billboard. Our server also offered a sample before buying to make sure that I would enjoy what I ordered.. My wife ordered a Blood Mary which was exceptional. We heartily recommend that you visit Inner Compass Brewing! read more

I'm giving 4 stars because the French fries were delicious. Pepsi instead of coke products which is eh but once I can drink beer again that won't matter. Pizzas good but a little burnt taking away from the overall taste but loved the non burnt crust pieces. You could tell it was homemade. Cheeseburger eggrolls delicious! Beer selection looked good and they had a nice outside area. Nice addition to the community! read more

I've had the opportunity to frequent this establishment multiple times. The food (I've had the wings, burgers and seafood) is always delicious with plentiful portions. The service (Analia) is prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. The owner (Susan) regularly checked-in for satisfaction level (high). In addition, the beer selection is plentiful with a range of offerings for all tastes. We are considering Internal Comapss for our employee "Welcome Back" invitation as the atmosphere guarantees a joyful evening. read more

Food was very good, burgers cooked perfectly, and Jared took fantastic care of us! Will definitely be back!!

Our food was delicious! We had a gluten free chicken bacon ranch pizza, chopped cheese sandwich, fried green tomato blt, chicken Caesar wrap, and fish and chips. The chicken Caesar wrap needed a little more dressing, but we got some and it was good! The beers were good: mimosa cider, pink beer, and family tradition. It is a very cool environment. We sat on the back patio. There was a playground for kids, cornhole boards, etc. Service was good and food came out quick! read more

walked in and immediate bad vibes. my cousin's husband was holding the door open for a group of nine of us and yells at him that he needs to shut the door "so bugs don't get in." this guy is the front face of this place and we immediately wanted to leave. he forced us to sit at a table and when I asked if we could just order beers from the bar he literally said "no." hurried us, made us feel awkward and unwelcome. everyone else was nice but this one dude ruined it for this place. goodluck to anyone who encounters him. definitely not going back. cheers! read more

VERY GOOD! Great beer selection and really good food! We had wings medium and bbq chicken pizza. Super good. This place is just what this area needed! Can't wait to return! :) read more

Friends and I took a day trip out east to this new brewery. We had such high hopes. The outside of the building is GORGEOUS! Upon entering, we assumed we were supposed to seat ourselves since there was no hostess to greet us. As we were trying to decide where to sit, the hostess asked if we needed a table. She was pleasant and cheery. Our party sat for some time and several servers walked by us. Our hostess walked by and noticed that no one had a beverage. We said no one had waited on us. She assured us that she would get a sever. Someone came by and said that the hostess was incorrect and that she wasn't our server. I spoke with the bartender and she was lovely. Our server came to the table to get our orders. The beers were okay. Several in house stouts, one kolsch, and one saison. We also ordered food. The young man that brought the food wore the same glove the entire time, wiped his nose, pulled his pants up, and then delivered food all with the gloved hand. We'd asked for additional condiments that never came. The best part of the place was the gentleman who seemed to be bussing tables. He offered to get us more beverages. He informed us that there was live music outside. He was so kind and pleasant. Ultimately, it just felt very chaotic and d a lot of finger pointing as to who was at fault. No one took ownership of a problem and no one was quick to resolve anything. We won't be returning. read more

Service was good ! super friendly such a great place ! Family friendly good beer and wine. and nice food menu. I like that it is so kid friendly and has a great patio area with swings etc. Corn hole too. This is a great addition to Lakewood Ranch. read more

Terrible meal - my husband's $17 Philly cheesesteak had two bites of burned steak on each half and my $17 chicken salad had very little chicken that I think was precooked. I guess they just want to sell beer so skip this place if you are looking for a passible meal. read more

Awesome experience. Went for first time with a couple of friends. I was impressed with their extensive beer selection. Food and atmosphere were great. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

First time here. All in all, a good experience. Service was excellent Only my husband had a flight of four beers, which is said were very good. The place was empty; perhaps five tables filled within one hour. Food was very good, but is also very traditional bar venue. Hopefully they'll get a few more sandwiches/etc. on the menu with a little more flair. Sadly, as we all know in business, location, location, location, is key, and this place is not in a good place. Thus, we believe it's going to have a hard time 'making it', unless they plan to sell their crafted beers. Ambiance was delightful, restaurant was very clean (only open one week), and ample free parking. We'll most likely be back, but there needs to be more than the crafted beer to attract us, and possibly other/new patrons. We wish them well. read more

Inner Compass just recently opened and it's quickly becoming a favorite place to go. Great selection of beers and ciders and really great food! A must try is the burger with Swiss and mushrooms and the steak and cheese sandwich. They have home made potato chips and great big, cold salads. There is music on weekends and corn hole and games for the kids. Lots of TVs for sports and this is the perfect place for Sunday games. read more

Great beer, tasty burger, great service and nice ambiance! I enjoyed my first visit and will be back.

Wow! What a great experience! Beer was delicious, had the Gator Bait Lager and the pretzels with beer cheese. The service was great and everyone was super welcoming for our first visit. Will absolutely return! read more

We tried multiple items. The Burger was delicious and cooked perfectly as ordered which is one the ways we rate a place. Wings were great. Steak sandwich was also great. We want to go back and try pizza and a salad. read more

Friendly attentive staff, great selection of beers and tasty nibbles! Everything is clean and the building offers many entertaining areas outside the back and a good sized private event area. We have been here a few times and it just keeps getting better with every visit! read more

Nice new clean sports bar atmosphere with Flex doing great karaoke on Wed. night 6-9. Ample menu, great brew choices, pleasant waitstaff. Enjoyable. safe and relaxing. Only karaoke in Lakewood Ranch. read more

More of a family restaurant than brewery vibe. Casual atmosphere, live music and private party space.

BEST BURGER AROUND! the meat was prime, cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. wings were good too. great service and very nice atmosphere.

They have low carb pizza. The wings were OK, but not great. HCK has the best wings ever in Sarasota. Gianni's down the 64 has great baked wings, the healthiest choice. The server was lackluster with a bad attitude. It wasn't my cup of tea and with the mediocre food and bad service, it's a pass for me. read more

Wow! What a great place. Full liquor, craft beer, and awesome service. Ask for Kira, she's the best. I've been there and enjoyed all they have to offer. Don't miss this place. Trick is, to find the place. Worth the search. read more

This is my new favorite place!! It's located back in an Industrial Park. Inner Compass has a beautiful, new building on the water. It's a great place to watch a game or bring the family. The food is fantastic!! The staff and owners are very friendly, welcoming and nice!! I highly recommend!! read more

Great service, great beer, great food, great facility with large outdoor patio, bandstand, and playground. Highly recommend!! We'll definitely go back! read more

Great local eatery. My wife and I visited for an early dinner and were very pleased with every aspect of our visit. We are not drinkers, so we cannot comment on that side of their business. However the food and service was excellent. Nice selection on the menu, many of which you would expect to find in a tavern but with some really interesting and tasty twists. The pork shanks and zesty cauliflower appetizers were very, very good. My wife had the impossible burger which didn't disappoint and I made a meal of the shanks. We will definitely return to try other offerings. Highly recommend!!! read more

Inner Compass Brewing has a very nice atmosphere! I was greeted immediately upon walking through the door. The service was great! The beer selection is very good. Their Inner Compass beer is even better! I have only tried the food once so far. I was not disappointed. I will be back. read more

No description of the beers, you have to scan to see the list or watch the changing reader board, need more shuffle boards, not thrilled doing anything outside when there is an alligator warning sign. Onion rings as an appetizer so so flavorful. Lots of room. Wish there were adult games. read more
