    We had a fun time here. It's a quirky place with some interesting decor, including a huge ball of bras! I assume these were donated or shed over the years but either way this is a cool place to have some drinks, sit on the patio and look at the ocean or sing karaoke. It was all fun and games until I found myself on the stage singing Alan Jackson, no one wanted to hear that, trust me. Give them a try if you're in the Melbourne/Indiatlantic area. It's a bit of a dive bar so don't expect anything fancy but if you're looking for cold beers and genuine people, this is the place.

    Fish and sweet potato fries

    Local bar vibe. Lots of friendly folks. Grabbed a frozen Rum drink called "Banana Split," fish with sweet potato fries, and a beer. Servers were friendly. Location is clean with a view of the ocean. Indoor/outdoor seating and upstairs/downstairs seating. Looks like they have a bar downstairs and a stage for a band above on the second floor.

    Bras hanging from chandelier, balcony stage.

    Lou's Blues was an experience. A great one! We raveled to Melbourne to visit family and found the Is fun place for after hours music. We walked in expecting blues music, but that night, the band booked was Switch, ft Ana. It was 80s Rock and my little heart started doing flips. It was fantastic! Every single person in there was having sooooo much fun! Immediate fan! And speaking of fans, there was definitely one on stage. Loved the atmosphere, service and will come back and try the food. We will definitely be back and bring friends.

    This is the view sitting on the deck as the sun was going down.

    It was a good burger, and the servers were very friendly. The food came out quickly and was cooked to just the temperature that I'd asked for. The fries were hot and crisp. It definitely has a biker bar vibe to the place It's hard to get a better view than sitting there looking at the ocean while you're drinking a beer and eating a burger. I may go back sometime.

    Parm Crusted Pizza , super cheesy

    Cool dive bar vibe, went on a Monday night for dirty bingo and had a great time with lots of laughs. Waitstaff was super attentive. I got the parm crusted pizza, it was super cheesy and delicious even had some leftover for lunch the next day. Definitely recommend if you like the beachy dive bar atmosphere.

    Bra chandelier

    Never disappoints. Cheap cold beers. Refillable mug w WHATEVER you want. Yes please tonight we got the 1.5# peel and eat shrimps. Delish!!! Great daily specials!! Do you love 70's & 80's rock music? Great tunes. Beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean!! Such a great vibe! The service is friendly. Though I feel they prefer locals. We've become regular and the staff has warmed up to us after 3 seasons. You can't miss if you come here. The balcony is the best.

    Live band
    Tamika H.

    Such a vibe! We popped in at the recommendation of a friend and we were so glad we did! There was a live band playing a ton of 90s and 2000s alt rock and other music, not to mention some really great line dances and merengue between sets. The crowd was electric and dancing like no one was looking which was refreshing. The drinks were fantastic and reasonably priced. I stuck with the margarita and the hubby, whiskey and corona along with ice water. Refreshing and delicious combo. Special mention.... A duh moment... I left my phone in the ladies room stall and was able to retrieve it at the bar's lost and found! What a great group of people. We loved this place! Take a visit any day of the week but Saturday was amazingly lit!

It took sooooo long to get a spritz. So long I forgot I'd ordered it. She was never in sight. Always gone somewhere. Was her area too large or was she hiding in the kitchen? I was so excited to get the shaved ribeye sandwich but it was... a shaved burger patty??? I mean... literally. That IS what it was. NGL it tasted good but the burger on the menu is a "special blend" not a ribeye... and this was 100% a "shaved" burger patty advertised as a "shaved ribeye". Fries were typical bar food. Crispy though! Drinks were okay but not at all worth the price and time. (Was I spoiled by the last restaurant we'd visited in Brevard that had exceptional draft selections and great prices on everything? Maybe.) Beer was warm. The ONLY thing we absolutely loved was the entertainment. Joshua Keels was playing, we'd never heard of him but wow! Went and found him on Spotify it was so good. Covers and originals. It's amazing how live music can save a place like this. It would have been a 1-2* if not for entertainment. I mean... false advertising on the "shaved ribeye" has me reeling. Did not take pics like I normally would have bc... what was that even?

    **INITIAL REVIEW**…read more When it comes to the restaurants within Downtown Melbourne/Melbourne Main Street, I often stress that the ones on the edge of the river and/or marina are some of the best ones if you want a meal with a view. The Mansion and Chart House come to mind. The one my family wanted to go to was Ichabod's Bar & Grille. Unfortunately, its popularity exceeded its capacity and the waittime was over an hour. Ergo, we went to their sister location on Melbourne Beach, the one right across from Paradise Beach. Maybe, I was expecting a bit more as the Melbourne Beach location is the newer location meaning it had the OG to learn from, but it did not live up to that standard, at least the one I had in my head. Though an address is provided, this Ichabod's Bar & Grille - which I will shorthand simply to Ichabod's for the remainder of this review - is located as a stand-alone business right across the entrance to Paradise Beach. Ichabod's surely has that look of being a dockside restaurant despite being "landlocked," but good luck parking nearby. The parking situation has always been bad around the area. Inside, the seating is limited in which the majority of seating seems to be at the two bars. I guess Ichabod's is catering to a certain demographic pertaining to who dines inside. Outside, there are more tables for families and groups. That is where my family and I sat for our meal. Our waitress Jordanann, God bless her soul, was the only waitress working. She was running around like a chicken with their head cut off as she served everyone both inside and outside the restaurant. Despite her situation, she remained focused and kind. I definitely gave her a big tip for how hard she worked. As for the food, it was... well... okay. I always get fried fist fillets whenevere I come to a new seafood restaurant, along with crab cakes. There was shell in the crab cake, which I find to be a bit of a norm with a little piece, but there were some thoroughly recognizable pieces in my mouth when biting right in. And the fish, well... it was... okay. Not the best fish I ever had, but not bad where I would not finish it or at least take it home. Other food my family ordered includes the Mahi Sandwich, Our Burger, Shrimp Wrap, Caprese Burger, Jerk Mahi Plate, and the Jerk Shrimp Plate. Overall, the initial visit was very lacking. Though I do not fault the waitress herself, I do fault the restaurant for only having one waitress for this shift. I assume they are having a troublesome time keeping staff. I will definitely come back and give them a second chance. Can't just say Ichabod's is what they are over one visit, but for this initial visit, this is the kind of rating I would give them. If they improve over an average, i will reconsider changing the rating and updating the review.

The bartender was fun, the clientele were interesting, to say the least (some had obviously had a few beverages while watching football games, but in a fun way, not an aggressive way). To my surprise - I had probably the best fish tacos (their Mahi fish tacos) of my life. That's a bold statement from a guy who's had fish tacos in Hawaii and Hong Kong and Puerto Vallarta - but I have to give credit where credit is due. I wanted to stop back again, but alas I was only in town on business for a few days, so it will have to wait until next time. I hope there is a next time! Stop in and try it out.

There is so much seasoning and salt that I can't even taste the actual dish or the natural flavors of the ingredients. Everything is completely overpowered by the seasoning. I gave the restaurant a second chance thinking maybe my first experience was a one-time issue, but the food was just as overly seasoned and salty the second time. Good seasoning should enhance the food, not completely take over the dish. When all you can taste is salt and seasoning, it makes the food very unpleasant to eat. Unfortunately, after two visits with the same experience, I would not return.
