Such a fun bar because the bartender is awesome and silly. There's some fun shots here and one was named after the bartender which included so many ingredients that I think only he can make his shot. Nearby customers we're also fun to hang out with. Don't mind the heavy death metal band with their audience dressed in only all-black dress code in the back of the lounge, past the glass door. Such a different mix than the lounge. Was surprised because I wasn't expecting that from this tropical decor but had a good laugh read more

Cute little restaurant right off the main road, just a short walk to the beach. Lived the colorful neon vibes in here, and the updated aesthetic. Tried their nachos and the bucket special Sexo Wb La Playa. Very tasty - little sweet for me though! The service was great and the bartenders were upbeat and friendly. Would certainly return here for the bottomless mimosas and try their tacos! read more

Bartenders were friendly & attentive. They gave me recommendations. The manager was hands on & she recommended the rum bum, which was delicious. They were well staffed. There is plenty of bar seating. They also have an outside area. They had a dj last night. The vibe was fun & the patrons were nice. The bathroom is unisex & it was clean. The only reason I'm not giving a five bc I wasn't feeling the food menu. It's definitely a nice spot to chill & get tasty drinks with good music, recommended. read more

Nice little drink spot. The DJ was awesome and kept the vibe chilling. The waitresses were fast, friendly, and helpful. The Hawaiian pizza was wonderful and had a great sauce on it. Only downer here was the drink prices...even during a half price "happy hour" the $14/22 drinks were $7 & $14 which is normal price range for Florida. Hour and half here and my bill was $120 during half price drink hours...wowzers. I'll return for more music and vibes, but only during happy hour prices. read more

Really chill vibes!! We came for snacks... ordered a pizza (yum) and the shrimp ceviche (a big bummer). The chips were reallyyyyy stale and salty. Definitely were old chips, probably made the previous day :/ and the ceviche wasn't ceviche at all. Tasted like chopped up shrimp cocktail with some avocado and unripe mango. Definitely edible!! Just not really citrusy or yummy. The pizza was AMAZING!! And the staff made the whole experience :) really kind people. Will definitely come back for the pizza and the vibes!! read more

The good: the aesthetic of the restaurant The bad: $9 chips and guac, 2 small plastic cup of store bought guac and a tiny platter of chips. Everything comes out in small paper trays like a take away food truck but when the dishes are a whopping $16-$20 you'd expect better portions and presentation. Apparently they have good pizza but was not there for pizza. Tried the poke bowls and would say they were 5/10. Not sure how fresh the tuna was but it was a decent bowl. Not quite $16 worth but still filled me up. Lots of promise because of the cool building and location but needs a lot of work to live up to potential of a legitimate dinner spot. Would only recommend a pop in for a drink at this point. read more

I started with a hula crush beverage and the classic poké bowl. Overall the drink was good and the bowl was nothing special. My friend and I were the only ones there besides one person at the bar.

I lucked out and grabbed a seat at the bar which was perfect after being out in the sun. High top chairs, chill energy, exactly what I was in the mood for.

Super friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which is honestly my favorite. Food: 9/10 I got the brisket nachos without pickled onions or jalapenos and also tried the happy hour chicken bites. Both were so good. The brisket was chef's kiss. The chicken bites had that perfect light crunch on the outside and were still juicy inside. Honestly fire. If you're in the area I definitely recommend checking this place out. My only regret is not grabbing some of their merch before I left.

It took us a few minutes to go through the menu since we weren't familiar with the restaurant, and there are quite a few items to choose from. We ordered the "Crack Mac Snack" (macaroni and cheese) and added pulled pork and the biscuit bread. The food came out quickly, and we were not disappointed. The biscuit bread was absolutely amazing, rich, soft, and delicious (maybe a little too generous with the butter on top, but still delicious). It's a thick, hearty piece, about two inches high and roughly four inches square. The mac and cheese was a generous portion and easily enough to share, and it was really good. The homemade BBQ sauce was also a highlight. The only slight miss was my husband's Coke, which wasn't very sweet, possibly a calibration issue with the machine. Overall, this is definitely a spot worth trying if you're in Cocoa Beach and want something different. There's a lot on the menu, and we'll definitely be back.

The appetizer I didn't know I needed in my life. 5 stars - Shrimp cocktail: probably the best I've had. 5 humongous shrimp perfectly cooked and chilled. Served with a Thai peanut satay sauce that was delectable. Didn't envision this combo and it worked so well. 5 stars - Lamp chips: 3 nice pieces my husband and friend enjoyed. 4.5 stars - Miso cod: solid version marinated as expected with 2 pieces plus bok choy. 4.5 stars - Umami fries: large plate of perfectly crispy curly fries with Japanese spices on top. 4 stars - Mozzarella sticks: long rectangles covered in a panko potato mix. Crunchy and gooey. Paired with ranch and guachong sauce. 4 stars - Artichokes: 3 large lightly fried pieces which looked like chicken wings. Could've been sliced into smaller bites. 3.75 stars - Dining room: modern bougie vibe. Long bar across the length of the restaurant with a few higher tables of in back (shaped like elongated guitar picks) and a banquettes. A living wall ceiling and artsy wooden touches. Midlights - Flank steak: large slices with not too much flavor. Most unremarkable item we had. 3 stars - Water service: need bigger glasses or for them to leave a carafe on the tables as they didn't come by to refill often enough. Being in a tropical location, hydration is important. - Drinks: cocktails sounded fancy but were just ok. Even their version of a smoked old fashion was lacking in the smoke reveal. Wine was also just ok - Waiter kept on calling us sir and ma'am making us feel old and bit uncomfortable Lowlights - Out of few things. their sole bakery item dessert in a brownie I was excited about and 2 out of 7 glasses of red wines

Sweet dining room

Slow and Low Bar B Que

Slow and Low was our choice on night one in Cocoa Beach. We ordered takeout and our order was ready…read moreearly. The inside of the restaurant was cute - giving major BBQ vibes. For our meals, my husband and I both chose the pork platters. Our sides were green beans and mac and cheese, and baked beans and potato salad. We each chose cornbread muffins. Everything was very mediocre and lacked in flavor. I'm not sure that anything had seasoning on it. The price was fair and you get a decent amount of food. However, not sure we will be back.

Sat outside which makes for interesting people watching. Our server was fantastic. He was so…read morepatient with everyone (especially the table next to us). Had the pork and brisket plate - highly recommend. Skip the fries though.

Florida's Seafood Bar & Grill

Came here with a girlfriend recently for a night out. We had an appetizer, main entree and drinks…read more The food and service was 10/10. This place is easy to find via GPS and is right on the water, so you know the seafood is super fresh! Loved the ambiance of this place with the fish tanks, fish lamps and choice of music. Server was friendly and prompt. Pricing was very reasonable! Definitely recommend if you're looking for good, local seafood.

Whooo doggie... this one was rough…read more The tldr is: worst fish tacos I've had, and third worst coconut shrimp my wife's ever had. Other entrees may be okay, but for your own sakes, I'd recommend avoiding these two items. And if you're looking for a laugh, just wait until your complimentary "lemon sorbet" arrives. It's great tasting, but it's also funny.
