    Perfect fries!
    Vikki B.

    Cute place right by the beach. Bartenders are super friendly - get the fries. Really really good!

    We came here after the beach and sat outside to eat and Sasha was awesome! She provided great service and made sure we were able to enjoy and relax. She told us about the Chile lime fries that taste like Mexican street corn and we fell in love! Their food was unique, delicious and flavorful! We also came back later in the night to enjoy the music. Overall this place is a hit

    Hubby and I love Tropics! We always make sure to stop by whenever we visit Coco Beach. The food is always great, cocktail options are crafted beautifully and they even offer to-go drinks. Every time we visit we opt for their Chile Lime Fries and their Fried Cauliflower. Both are so good and fresh! The bartenders recognized when it was our first time here and went over the menu options and even offered neighboring bars to visit which we appreciated! The inside was quaint and tropical. They mentioned they have live music as well at night which we can't wait to go back for. Highly recommend stopping by on your way back from the beach!

    Really friendly bartenders and cool open space. Definitely stop by here for a fun cocktail! They have a discount if you pay with cash , and that's the price on the menus so be aware of that. Overall, it's a really relaxed vibe, it's a good to people watch too! We've gotten Mojitos (both classic and flavored), and the Florida man which were all good!

    Good drinks, good atmosphere, Aarla is a great bartender love her! :) for sure recommend

    I have some friends that moved from one area of Cocoa Beach to another, and they moved to a neighborhood that's literally less than a 10 minute walk from this place. The first time I went to visit their new digs, they brought me here, and I am so glad they did! First of all, the location is unbeatable. You're about 50 feet away from the sand of the beach, and the whole bar is super open, so you can do some excellent people watching as they all pour into or out of the beach. Second of all, this place has a proud mocktail menu, which is very rare non only in this country, but in this state, and especially in this county. So I really enjoyed that. FYI, I got the Virgin Pina Colada on the Rock (w/ coconut syrup, lime, pineapple, whipped cream, dark cherry), and it was very good. Very coconuty, with that lime to balance it out nicely. I also got the Fresh Brewed Sun Tea (w/mango), which is less of a mocktail and more of just, tea. But the mango flavor was Strong. Very sweet, so beware. Another couple joined us, so the six of us split a number of food items. Chile Lime Fries (cilantro-lime crema, cotija cheese, Tajin chili spice). Very fun. Crispy fried with a tangy crema everywhere, that creamy cheese, and the Tajin putting pops of intense twang in each bite. I liked it. Filipino Cheesesticks (cheese fried in lumpia wrappers w/ sweet chili sauce). Oooh. Very fun. Not sure the kind of cheese, but it was ooey and gooey and melty. Take a dip in the sauce and take a very crispy bite out of the lumpia wrapper. Awesome. And the Musubi (2 pieces, griddled Spam, pineapple teriyaki, furikake, green onion & sushi rice, wrapped in nori). If you know what musubi is, you know. If you don't, it's one of the best snacks on the planet. This is a very big musubi, very sharable, and a nice hunk of Spam for you to fill up on. Overall, the island vibe of this place was undeniable. I don't come out to Cocoa Beach very often, but when I do, I will probably be coming to this place every time.

    Hey, DJ is that throw back Ciara from the early 2000s?! Omg yes! Because of the awesome throwback jams from last nights DJ, my family found ourselves at Tropics Cocktail Bar. So much fun! Ciara, the bartender was super personable and made some delicious stiffies. I would highly recommend Tropics out of the surrounding bars in this area because the drinks are good, the music was bangin' and the restrooms are super clean!

    The sliders are a must, and the bartender (Tish) was the best. This is a must stop when you're down here.

    This bar is great! They have a perfect location right by the beach, it's beautiful. They have a full bar with craft cocktails and always have great bartenders. The good menu is elevated bar food, and they have some vegan options. Overall a great place!

    Shark attack!

    Fun place to go! Make sure to ask for the drink "the shark attack" Excellent service, nice and welcoming!

    Tropics Cocktail Bar, Cocoa Beach, FL- 1-Star "I tend to stay away from the big tourist traps." - A. Wersching Taking my eyes from the road for a brief second, I glanced down at my random name generator nestled in the center counsel of the Big Boy Mobile. It hadn't changed since I pulled out of my driveway. I was still destined for a meal at Hollywood & Vine or Times Square. That's right, I was headed for ground zero for tourist hell. I reckon that approximately 90% of the humans I saw are from out of town. I have to mention that it is a good thing I only rate execution of foodstuffs in my reviews as this place was a swill purveyor. I haven't been to a place this filthy since long before COVID made everyone and their mama germ-a-phoebes. My waitress/bartender was Amber and she appeared as grungy and repulsive as the surroundings. Her service was as poor as her attitude. I always wonder how sour wait staff impact the review. I always try to remove horrid service from my review but I must admit Amber is probably the WORST waiter in Brevard County After glancing at the menu I was struck by the interesting flavor combinations represented and, in spite of the surroundings, I was looking forward to sampling the offerings from their kitchen. To that end, I asked Amber for a single malt whiskey--neat and four sliders, two with cheese and garlic aioli and two Caribbean pork with guava BBQ sauce. After 238 days of not drinking and staring at such a generous, beautiful pour of whiskey, it was hard to pass, but pass I did. Forcing my eyes from the whiskey glass, I concentrated on the food before me, snapped a few pictures and commenced dining. First up on the Big Boy's discerning palate were the aforementioned cheese and garlic aioli sliders. The aioli was the blandest aioli I have yet tasted (read plain mayo tasting). The meat was cooked properly, though nothing spectacular jumped out at me. These sliders, despite how well they read in the menu, were below average. Moving on to the item that really peaked my inquisitiveness, the Caribbean pork sliders with guava BBQ sauce. While like its predecessor, these buns were grilled (my favorite), I am fairly certain that the pork was microwaved. It just had that microwaved texture. As bland as the garlic aioli was, I found these to be the better of the two however terrible. Both plates came with fries and slaw. The fries were plug and play, but they were cooked properly and seasoned--huge props for that. The slaw was also very nice, not top shelf, but obliviously not the bottom of the barrel foodservice sludge either. While I found the place lacking, I am sure the typical drunk tourist would love it. The Big Boy says, "unless your cruising for drunk tourists, I would avoid this dump." #bigboydiningout #bigboy

    I have been meaning to come here!! I come to cocoa beach every weekend and barely had a drink here, today! Really love how this bar is set up, very open for bar sitting / tables. Such beautiful drinks - made by great bartenders! Love that you can take on the go. I got the Caesar spears and added shrimp. Light app and it was so worth it!! I will keep coming!

After a couple hours laying on the beach I was starving and immediately thought of it again. So glad I went back. It's really close to Cocoa Beach and sits in such a cute little beach town area. Ambiance: 8/10 Super cute spot with a great tiki beach vibe. There's a big bar in the center with seating all around it, plus plenty of tables off to the side. 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. Service: 8/10 The girls behind the bar were great. I have some annoying allergies that tend to be in everything, and my food came out without the modifications at first. I hate sending food back, but had to on this one. They were really nice and apologetic about it though, which I appreciated. 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.

The atmosphere is awesome, which is why I am even giving it 2 stars. There are outdoor games and sometimes live music. Now that we got the only positives out of the way, let's move on. The food is horrible. No way around it. We had a party of 9, which I realize is a lot, but we have been going out to eat all weekend with that amount and never had an issue. 4 of us had to send our Mahi back because it was overcooked. Dry and literally hard. Two had ordered Mahi tacos and the other two ordered what they are supposed to be known for, the Mahi Mahi entrée. We chatted with our server about it and she said she was going to send over the manager. The manger arrived, asked what was wrong and we told her. No apologies, no nothing. She just said, well do you want us to make you all something else. We obviously said yes and ordered other items. Everyone else was eating while the 4 of us waited for our new food items... well everyone except 1 person in our party. He has still not received what he ordered to begin with. When we asked our server her response was, "I know, it's coming." Then a few minutes later she came over asking what it was he ordered. His ended up coming out with the other 4 people's remade meals. Those meals weren't as badly overcooked but they also just weren't good. Shrimp tacos were flavorless, chicken tacos overcooked... etc. The price and the taste just don't add up for me. That and the fact that the manager never once apologized to us for the issues or anything. Needless to say, this is a place you go to have a few drinks and that's it.

Sauces were off the chart delicious. - Ricotta toast: insanely thick and fluffy perfect pieces of bread topped with dollops of whipped ricotta and chili crisp. Crunchy, smooth, and a bit of spice. 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.

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
