    The owner was a super informative local. He was highly knowledgeable and offered a huge beer variety.

    We were looking for a live music kind of night. We walked in as the 12 piece band was setting up. Asked for a beer menu, and I was astonished at how many beers they had. The extensive beer menu had all the beers available with all the info you would need to pick out the proper beer. Even with that , the bartender let me sample a few. I ordered a delicious red ale. , and my wife ordered a cider. Great crowd, great jazz, bluesy , old standards kind of band. With 3 different female lead singers. Not many items to choose from foodwise, but I did see some grilled cheese sandwiches coming out, and they looked pretty good. We had eaten dinner before we arrived. Which I suggest you also do. My wife found a ice cream shop next door, and they had no problem letting her eat it at the bar. One of the customers insisted I try the bourbon cream ale .But it was 10 percent, and I did not want a pint. I told that to the bartender and she gave me like a 5 oz pour. We had a great time , drinking great beer and listening to great live music.

    1. The vibe here wasn't it. Overbearing patrons. 2. Customer service, nope. 3. Had a better time at ALL other breweries. Hell n blaze, iron oak, intercoastal, if I didn't like something they gladly switched it. I had patrons here chiming in my conversation, it was annoying & unnecessary. What I was asking wasn't unreasonable. I guess he rather feel right than keep the customer happy. I normally walk past this place bc of the obnoxiously loud music. Will never recommend or return. Most breweries a flight of 4, $10. Their flight of 6, $20. Too bad Bugnutty doesn't stay open later. Go there, where your $ is appreciated.

    As a second stop on our Pub Pass trip in Cocoa we were excited to go to the Village Idiot Pub. This pub is in a very nice location in the cocoa village with an open floor plan, board games, and dog friendly. The bartender Jason who helped us was great and friendly. He offered us samples before we decided on our pours. I had the Tripping Animals wild duck which was a strong, but smooth dubbel. All in all this place was great and one of my favorites, definitely stop in here if you are in the area.

    Chill bar with lots of beers on tap and plenty of games to keep you entertained. Dog friendly too! My fav part was the music - alt rock & emo music circa the 2000s. Only noticed 2 bartenders but they hustled the entire time and no one waited with an empty glass (man could other bars learn a lesson on this). Crowd seemed to be 30+ but maybe it was the crowd associated with the pop up Stick Figure concert across the way. Either way loved crushing beers, playing darts & hanging out here.

    Part of a little bar hopping we did one night by the beach. Live music was great and yes of course beers were great! Its in a cool location in Cocoa Village. Has a bunch of restaurants and bars and like a little village town where its all in one location. A lot of parking. Bartenders were very cool and helpful. The place was packed inside and outside. They have a small little patio area that has good seats to get fucked up on. A ton of games, its more like a brewery if anything. Worth checking out!

    Local brewery in front of the park. They have plenty of games to choose from. They also have darts and some outdoor games. Beer choices was decent. They have on tap and canned. Mostly local beer and from the east coast. Friendly servers and good crowd.

    First off, what a cool name for a bar. The Village Idiot Pub is a great place to head towards if you are in Cocoa and looking for a good time. The drinks are cold and those drinks were served with a warm smile. The Village Idiot Pub is a great place to while away some time.

    The ultimate fun hangout spot in Cocoa. This is by far our favorite bar in the area and we are always so proud to show it to friends visiting from around Florida. They find it equally cool. If you are a retired emo kid like me, you will love the music. They are always playing the best alternative hits from the 2000s. Sometimes they also have live music. They have a vast collection of beer on tap. My husband is always so excited to try something new. For newcomers they have a easy to follow menu by beer type. For non beer lovers like myself feast your eyes on their fridge in the back. It's full of ciders, seltzers and more. I'm a cider girl and while they do have a few cider on tap, I am always excited to try a new cider from their fridge. As far as customer service goes, they are simply amazing. No matter how busy they may be, they always greet you immediately and someone take your order in decent timing despite being so busy. The crew make you feel welcome and will give you as many samples as you want. We love everyone here. Lastly for ambience...This bar has a really open concept with plenty of seating inside and outside. They have tons of classic games like darts, ring swing, lifesize jenga, connect four and more. While this bar is designed for adults they also kid and dog friendly, making it super inviting for all. 10/10 awesome bar.

    The band.

    Went to see a friend play. Brought 12 people....should have brought another bartender. Acoustics was horrible. The voice of an angel sounded like a bag of cats getting beaten with a bat. The bartender was horrible. One dude and he definitely was not focused on getting people served with any sense of urgency. 15-minute wait to get a bottle of water and a soda. No food to speak of. The charcuterie board was nothing to write home about and took twenty minutes for a few grapes, some hard salami, and unremarkable cheese.

    Laid back and casual place. I visited for lunch and the service was quick. Plenty of areas to.sit including outside seating, bar and tables. No full menu but snack items available.

    Folks, treat yourselves, don't cheat yourselves! This is our go-to when we actually just want a peaceful, relaxing, "putlifeonholdforamoment", and breathe.... She's rather partial to the Stiegl, which has wondrous grapefruit notes, and I'm a big fan of hoppy, bitter beers, such as their G13, both insanely cold and tap! This isn't your typical "grab a beer before this or that". There is entertainment value for everyone, whether you're into darts, Connect 4, and assorted board games (Yes, that's correct), if you're so inclined. There is a lounge area for larger parties to get together and sample the various on-tap options, while relaxing and sharing one of the best charcuterie boards in town. If you're into people watching, pictured below is the window seating arrangement where you can wrap yourself around a cold beer or glass of wine, and watch folks as they walk by. Quite often, there are functions and activities going on at the park, and for people like me, there's always opportunity to watch the muscle cars and trucks go by while sipping the suds! More often than not, we'll grab our individual favorites and sit outside... In the parking lot... In the rocking chairs. If you're dodging the age bit, there are also picnic tables...! Team Village Idiot, you guys are awesome, and we look forward to hanging with you again!!

    I wish there was 10 stars for this one! Right upon walking in they had fun old school music from the 80's playing. Plenty of bar seats and tables, along with outdoor seating too. Bartenders were fantastic and personable! They made suggestions which were awesome. Overall the beer selection was fantastic and I LOVED the vibe! This is a must try when in cocoa village :)

    Just chilling

    Amazing experience and absolutely fantastic food!…read more The service was wonderful from beginning to end. We had family visiting from out of town who were craving sushi, and we immediately knew exactly where to take them. If you're trying to impress guests, or trying to convince them to move here, this is the spot!! The seafood is next level. We started with one of our favorites, the rock shrimp toast along with something new, gambas al Japan (aka DELICIOUS shrimp)! For my dish, I ordered the American roll and it was phenomenal, I will 100% order again! My brother-in-law ordered a bluefin tasting along with the smoked hamachi, and it was nearly impossible to pick a favorite. My sister-in-law got the curry, and the sauce was so good it was practically drinkable. My husband stuck with his usual, the wagyu steak sandwich, which never disappoints. You truly can't go wrong with that dish. We finished with the oolong tea crème brûlée, which was incredible, and the oolong jam was such a unique and delicious surprise. We sat at the bar and had the chance to learn more about Daniel's cuisines, he is so knowledgeable, approachable, and clearly passionate about what he does. His creative take on each dish makes the entire dining experience unforgettable. We're already looking forward to coming back!!

    WOW Amazing service!!! Family run, beautiful design AND interior experience and not to mention,…read moreamazing food!! Which came out so fast! Bananas foster Jiggly pancake at brunch is a must try! They also own a small coffee/matcha/snack spot a couple doors down!!! You can bring your receipt for 10% off. This spot is a must-try!!
