I have never been so insulted in my life by a bartender. I asked for vodka martini and when i was…read moreasked for the flavor with a confused look in my eye, I replied with vermouth. Once I figured out the bartender lacked the skills to make a basic martini, I asked what he liked to make to see if I could get something else. He then said he serves 21-35 year olds and has never been asked for vermouth. Are you kidding me?? Insult the customer over your own lack of training. Great job. Left immediately to go to Tin Whiskey where I was served an amazing vodka martini. Highly recommend skipping this place.

Cocoa Joes Food & Spirits- Cocoa-4-Stars (Alcohol pour only)…read more Well, I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer. The future's uncertain, and the end is always near." -- The Doors When Cocoa Joe's Food & Spirits Pool and Billiard Hall came up as the next place to be reviewed on my Munch-a-Tron, I had a flashback to Player's Billiard Hall...recalling that review and the flack that followed (I know it's not officially a restaurant as much as the name suggests, a pool hall) I decided to forego any offerings of an edible nature and focus solely on why people come to little dives such as this: the drinks, the barkeep, entertainment and the drinks. As I entered I was engulfed in a cloud of stale cigarette smoke and I quickly had to check my phone for the year. Yep, still in 2019, though I swear this place is stuck in the 70s. Circumventing the law legally, they allow for smoking and as such, it is just as Dalton described the infamous bar in the movie Roadhouse, filled with "power drinkers and trustees of modern chemistry." My barkeep for this afternoons soiree was Erin. Like the establishment she plies her trade in, Erin is a monument to the 70s, when, no doubt, she was most likely a top notch catch (I mean this in nothing but a good way). She is efficient, humorous, engaging and man, can she pour a whiskey correctly! Well over a 2 oz. pour on my Dewar's. Glancing at the menu (see pictures) I decided to stick with my first impression on name only and passed on the delectables offered. Hey, I am sure they are fine for what they are, pool hall food, but it's just not my cup of tea. The Scotch, on the other hand, is right up my ally and as such, with pours like the one I got from Erin, you can bet sweet biffy I'll be back. The rating here is obviously all about the barkeep and the pour. The Big Boy says, "for sports viewing or a rousing game of billiards with generously poured drinks and frothy pitchers of cold beer, this is your place." #bigboydiningout #iamthebigboy

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Apparently, the Yelp Skynet a.k.a. the AI that green or red flags reviews, doesn't like the actual name of this pub despite the fact it is the pub's name. Ergo, I will use the abbreviation VI for the remainder of this review. Besides that, you really can't go wrong going to any of the pubs in Historic Cocoa Village. VI is one of the pubs on the eastern side of the Village, in between the famous Fat Donkey's Ice Cream and the furthest east pub in the village, Ryan's. Appearance-wise, the outside fits primarily with the building, but there are some minute details that give it its own personality, primarily around its name. There is also a section of the road and sidewalk that have been garrisoned for VI as outdoor seating and games such as bean bag toss. Indoors, it is definitely your kinda pub that many of the patrons are friends. The right side (East) have long tables with many pub and drinking games such as Hook & Ring and Shut The Box. There is a bookshelf filled to the brim with board games in case patrons prefer traditional or childhood classics. The left side (West) is the "Patio," a room that is decorated by numerous plants, neon lighting, widker and a black-and-white checkerboard floor. Finally, the middle of the pub is the actual bar, in the form of an L-shape serving a nice arrangement of beers from many breweries, cideries, distilleries, and meaderies across the United States. I had the Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale by Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co. Other beer selections I would recommend include the Pineapple Cider by the famous Carib Brewing Co. and the Mango Cart by Golden Road Brewing. Personal note on the latter: Mango Carts, well for me, only taste good when straight from the tap. Cans are not good. And the food, it is minimal, but boy does VI know how to tug at my heartstrings as everything they have features, or could feature, cheese. They have pretzels with cheese, pickles with cheese, and my personal favorite, grilled cheese sandwiches. And for the more sophisticated patron, they have numerous choices in charcuterie boards, too. I will also state the drink prices are a bit on the high side compared to some other places I been to. And there are two restrooms that are single-serving and gender-specific. I don't believe the latter has to be gender-specific because they are single-serving. The barn doors are an interesting choice because they are not very good at blocking sound. I guess that is why VI blasts the music so nobody can hear the flatulence. Speaking of music, VI does have a small corner stage for small acts, possibly singular, to perform. Unless there is a pull-out large stage for outdoor performances, I don't see big bands, per se in higher number of members, performing here unless they can all jam in that tight-spaced stage. Ultimately, I am going to give VI three-out-of-five stars for this review. They are a solid pub that has all the fixin's of a good bar to go to. Maybe it is safe to say they really don't stand out too much, especially amongst the more unique bars in Historic Cocoa Village. But still, a good place to have a drink with friends with that "Everybody knows your name" kinda vibe.
