Seating is a little old and dated but it's a pub so who cares. With their windows open you can sit outside, they have a very generous patio area. I moved from inside to outside, had a nice glass of wine and enjoyed the atmosphere. It's an incredibly friendly atmosphere lots of fun people and if you want dessert after having one of their giant pretzels there's ice cream next-door. The music was fine, the people were fine and did I mention that they are dog friendly? I got to pet all the puppies! That just made me even happier if it was possible. I hardly ever go anywhere anymore since Covid so this was a wonderful change. I will be back for sure and enjoy the ambience, the wonderful service, and the atmosphere. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about the Village Idiot pub!

**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.

A successful brewery, in my opinion, has great beer and great food. Service is always welcoming, it's nice and spacious with outdoor and indoor seating to beat the heat. We especially enjoy the games inside, my kids like to play with the Jenga blocks. They have something for everyone, beer, cider and their NA root beer is one of my favs on tap. As for the food, we always get some soft pretzel bites (Annie, are you okay? On their menu) with beer cheese, queso-birria tacos (SO good), chicken tacos and we've also gotten the smash burger. Everything is so flavorful and is consistently good. The location is great and a big parking lot, though it gets crowded during peak hours. They have restrooms inside including a changing table for parents with babes. Def recommend Intracoastal as a place to gather with friends or family, have a cold drink and enjoy some delicious food.

I wasn't in the mood for beer, so I ordered the hard soda, and am obsessed! It's a dark cola alcoholic beverage so it has a nice flavor. We ordered with the bar staff and they gave us a number for the food order, they also let my friends sample the beers before ordering. The crowd and employees are nice and laid back, chill and family friendly atmosphere all around.

She told us that we could order bison with any burger and that made me so happy and excited! She was very friendly and attentive. Amazing service! We love that they have local businesses on the menu and we love our sherriff Wayne Ivy so we really liked they had a burger dedicated to him! Thank you so much Darlene! The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. We will be asking for Darlene every time we come here! The hosts could be more friendly and smile. Other than that it was a great experience. We took our dad here for his first time after this and our server was Mike. Darlene was both working. I got the estate burger with bison. OMG. best burger I've ever had in my life. My fiance got a fords signature burger and my dad tried the brisket burger. We all had different sides to try them and our favorite was the loaded fries. That's the way to go. My dad got the onion soup and it was not very good. Full of onions - like wayyy too many.....and the flavor just didn't taste like that made it right- OR it seemed like he got the last batch of it that they had. Mike was also an amazing server. We didn't tell him about the soup bc even though my dad said it tasted weird (I tasted it also and thought the same) he did eat every single bite. We also tried the shrimp appetizer. Nothing crazy good. Just your average boom boom shrimp. Tasted fine. Again. The hosts didn't even smile or ask us if we preferred a booth. Other than that Mike was attentive and friendly. The restrooms were clean and so was the restaurant. It was busy and loud but the environment was still welcoming. The music was great and bartenders always seem to be having a good time at the bar which is great to see. We will be back soon with some friends that have never been here. We rave about this place and that they have to try the bison burger!

I loved how detailed all of the decoration was. It was also nice to see the replica old model cars right at the front of the restaurant. All of the little details were so neat to look at. The staff was very friendly and you could tell very well prepared for how busy a Saturday night could be. As soon as I said to the server that I needed my food to be gluten free he knew exactly what needed to happen and I love that my food came out seperate from everyone else's food so there was no chance it would even touch their food that had gluten on it. You can tell there were well trained when people have specific dietary needs. My turkey burger was delicious and the gluten free bun was perfectly toasted and did not fall apart on me at all. I had to strech my mouth to get around the burger that's how thick their burgers are. It had a really good flavor to it. The only issue I had was that I got the jasmine rice side and it was very salty. It was a strange thing to me to have so much salt on rice. It was a little bit of a turn off and I couldn't really eat the entire thing because of it.

Overall, I appreciate the menu at Miller's and the variety they offer, and I think the drink prices…read moreare pretty reasonable. The people have always been nice, and the service has been good whenever I've been. Unfortunately, the food has been pretty lackluster every time I've gone. A lot of the food seems to be overcooked, and while it's perfectly fine as basic bar food, I just don't see the quality matching the price. I love chicken strips more than just about anyone, but even those have been disappointing. I really think they need to pay a little more attention to the consistency and quality of the food coming out of the kitchen. It's not that there's anything terrible about the place--it's just that the food feels more like a filler than something I'm actually looking forward to eating. With the prices where they are, I have a hard time justifying spending my money there when there are other places where I enjoy the food much more. Good people, good service, decent drinks, and a menu with plenty of options. I just wish the food quality matched the rest of the experience.

The decor is nice, and there's even a small beer garden out back, but what's truly important is the beer. When we arrived we were greeted by the beer tender who told us that he had only four beers on tap, and of those four, THREE were guest taps of commercially-available beer, and the other was a barley wine (which is actually not a wine, but a beer often as strong as many wines) and is not as "mainstream" as many stouts, porters, ales, lagers and IPA's. We'd traveled out of our way to visit this brewery and were understandably disappointed by their lack of house-brewed beer. The bartender mentioned that the brewer had a health-related concern and hadn't brewed for a while.
