35 Best Bars near Cape Canaveral

“Absolutely amazing place if you are in the Canaveral area!! The service is top notch, someone greeted us from outside and then walked us to our seats- 2/3 servers interacted with us and gave us first time suggestions! The food was amazing!!“

“Very nice place for great seafood. The selections were good, and the prices were competitive. The food was well prepared and done right. Mixed drinks are available. Our server was attentive, though busy. There was a guy playing guitar and singing who was talented and a great singer. The music was not too loud. The restaurant is right on the port.“

“Cute karaoke dive bar with local vibe. The best thing about this place is Somonna the bartender. She’s is the light in this Jekyll and Hyde style bar. One side karaoke, one side darts and pool. Stop in or don’t, if you want to sing you’ll get a chance. If you want a drink and some local company. You can find it here. They smoke inside so you should have iron lungs or don’t bother entering (hence the 4 and not 5 stars). Great people watching and never a dull moment in this local dive bar“

“I incorrectly gave Cape a 1-star review. I actually meant to give them 5-stars and not write anything, but I am glad I noticed and can right my wrong!The service was quick, despite them being slammed. I didn't catch the name of the bartender, but he was great under pressure. Definitely a pro.“

“Great service, excellent food. The staff is polite, they have enough screens to watch TV from almost any spot in the location. The Jalapeño poppers are great with just enough heat and I have never had peanut butter filled ones. The are well experience staff that can keep up even with the craziest of rushes.“

“We happened upon Big Daddy J's when waiting to board our cruise ship. The food was delicious. We were just looking for a snack until we boarded the ship.BIG Daddy J's has unique fries that were a hit, sliders, potato salad, macaroni and cheese were items enjoyed at our table. We'll return when we are in the Coco Beach area again. Yummy!Parking: The restaurant was not super busy, so we had no problem parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp for entry, but also eat ing area available out front.“

“From the table bread to the Salmon, Steak, Calamari, Crab tower - EVERYTHING was delicious. Thankfully, we got in before it got busy (around 530pm), we were seated right away. As we were leaving the restaurant was poppin’ with several parties waiting outside - service by Chris was excellent! This restaurant is a MUST if you are on this side of town and are a seafood fan.“

“Loved the food, I don't eat fries often, but theirs, i absolutely had to have them they were the best I have had in a long time! The service was so good, attentive, welcoming, and helpful! Would recommend this place, definitely want to come back to enjoy the outdoor music!“

“This place is amazing!!! I am a first timer kava bar patron. This place was perfect. The owner and her son were soo helpful in their suggestion. Samples given. Knowledgeable of each drink and the benefits. Kava, Kratom and kombucha. Lots of flavors. Free popcorn and also has menu items. I tried 1 strawberry kratom tea and 1 watermelon mix kava. My friend has raspberry kombucha. All delicious and after about 30 min i started feeling relaxed. Very nice customers also. Overall couldn't have asked for a better first time experience.“

“Hidden Gem Alert! The Tiny Tavern is My New Favorite SpotIf you're looking for that authentic local bar experience without breaking the bank, The Tiny Tavern is your place. This place is a total gem! The drinks are super affordable, the crowd is all friendly locals, and they have the best little outdoor area for kicking back. They often have live music too, which just adds to the awesome vibe.I love that it's not some fancy, pretentious spot. It's real, it's laid-back, and it's always a good time. If you want to experience a cool slice of local life, this is where you need to be. Trust me, you'll be a regular in no time.“

“This place is so good, the village should be subsidizing it for the privilege of having an establishment of this quality around. Not even kidding, it's that good. You cannot justify being in Cocoa Beach for any length of stay and not stopping in here!Drinks at the bar were phenomenal, and service super quick and friendly.Can't wait to be back on our next Cocoa Beach trip!“

“All I can say is WOW. I'm a bit of a tough critic and this place is awesome. The bar tender was incredible. The selection is great. Within a few tasters, she made suggestions that were spot on on mixing beers together that I never would have thought. Atmosphere wise, lots of bar games to play for free.To top it off, they give you beer in plastic cup so you can walk around the little downtown area. Truly awesome.“

“With it bring by the beach it gets busy. I had the chicken Fiesta. It was bland. The sauce didn't have anything to run home about. I forgot to take the before picture, lol. So I uploaded the during lol.It looked like an exciting place to be just don't try the Fiesta Chicken. Also, the 90 min parking is enough time to dine during non peak. Lllol“

“Great sea food restaurant. The food was excellent, everything was just right. Prices are quite high by American standards, but it's worth it!Parking: There are plenty of parking spaces available around the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Our children were treated very courteously and they also understood special requests!“

“Jonathan's has been around for years and is well known to the locals drinks are decent prices are good food selection is not so great but what they do have is very good also pricing for the food is decent plenty of places to sit down convenient parking and not too far off the beach if you're a tourist visiting I would suggest stopping by there to grab a bite at half the price of what it's going to be on the beach side“

“Super fun spot for some dancing. Keep in mind they don't open till 10. (Kinda late for us millennials). This is the spot if you want the younger crowd and the younger music that's popular now. We didn't stay long but will come back next time!“

“Absolutely LOVE this brewery. After a LONG road trip, we were so grateful they filled a few growlers for us just before they closed. Got to meet the brewer Jay and needless to say, we will definitely be back here. Delicious brews, amazing staff (looking at you Mila), and with such a great environment. If we didn't live on the opposite coast- we'd definitely join D&D on Wednesdays. Can't wait to come back and get more growlers filled and chug another with Jay. Pinkies up!“

“An awesome place to hang out. I'm always meeting the coolest people. The atmosphere created by the staff is friendly and inviting. I recommend doing some googling about the drinks before you start. It's different than a regular bar but as I said, very cool. ?“

“Low Key ? and super chill but apparently they have lots of local bands pretty frequently. Bar tenders are great, very generous and prices are good. It’s a few steps from the beach ?️ and of course it’s also connected to the HIGH KEY ? Category 5 Bar in the front.“

“Very local bar that my sisters and I took my deceased mother's boyfriend to. He is a frequent patron to this bar as it is right down the street. The people all know him and I kind of felt I was in Cheers, lol. The service was excellent and they made us feel right at home, they did harass my mom's boyfriend about showing up with 3 women, but heck he is 91 years old.“

“Absolutely an amazing place! The hospitality is very homey and friendly. Environment is stunning! I saw an event on Facebook for getting hair tinsel done for my daughter. As my daughter is 7 I was nervous about bringing her to a winery however it was absolutely amazing and they treated us as family. Will definitely be back and it's listed as a go-to for a relaxing peaceful night!“

“Huge Ceasar salad with Grilled Mahi was very satisfying! Great variety of brews offered and food specials were amazing too. One of us got Mahi Mediterranean style with lemon sauce, artichokes, capers and red peppers and these layers of flavors were Fire if you like it salty!! Others got fish and chips and soup and sandwiches. All very satisfying meals at reasonable prices.“

“Had a good time with my posse! Some of the singers were terrific! Had a very hard time getting the attention of the bar staff. They seemed to ignore our group. I think I waited at the bar for at least 15 minutes before anybody acknowledged my presence. And I am not one to be ignored! LOL“

“Long time Viera resident, first time ordering from Baci. The food & service was nothing short of amazing! We settled for 2 of their specialty pizzas first go around, but BEST believe we will be back!! Highly recommend you give them a shot as well!“

“Okay so I’m a HUGE FOODIE!! I could honestly kick myself in the butt because I didn’t take pics prior to me eating. Anyhoo…this should be a #1 pick for food, drinks and service when visiting Cocoa Beach. There’s so many TV to watch games and they even mark the TVs to make sure you know what game is being watched. Food was fast and very tasty - DO NOT EXPECT SMALL PORTIONS- you get your money’s worth. Let’s get into service - JP was on point!! He was checking on us constantly ensuring we were good and everything was to our liking. He offered the best of the menu and very accommodating. I absolutely love a server who enjoys our company as much as we enjoyed his. Now to the best of the best - Drinks!! OMGGG… you get your money’s worth, strong and not overpriced, you can definitely find yourself in the bushes after the mimosas- best I’ve had in Florida yet!! JP is definitely a go to for food, drinks and FL hospitality! I’ll update more photos on my next visit“

“Hit this spot on our bar hopping adventure as well. The crowd here is a bit older but we enjoyed the music. We just had a simple rum and coke which was poured pretty strong! They have tons of space inside and out for socializing. Clean bathrooms!“

“We stopped by for the first time on vacation to celebrate a birthday. We loved our veggie burgers (the best I've ever had and I'm a self-proclaimed vegan burger conesuer)! The chips and salsa are also stellar! The atmosphere was cozy and family friendly. Thank you all for everything!Kid-friendliness: We brought our toddler and everyone was very kind and accommodating. Once he had his chips, he was happy and quiet.“

“We were in town for two nights before going on a cruise and found Shenanigans Pub. It was such a pleasant and fun atmosphere. The owner/bartender was very personable and the patrons were very helpful with touristy suggestions. It was a nice relaxing place to hang out.“

“This bar is easily one of the best around! There are so many pool tables, and best of all the bartender MEGAN is literally the best bartender ever! What great fun. It has been a really good experience, and our bartender absolutely made our time 1,000 times better I will be recommending chalkies to my friends.“

“Great spot to sit with nice view of the water and the occasional cruise ship Food was good and happy hour pricing is nice! Our server was excellent. (Everett) Will definitely go back again when we are in the area. Highly recommend.Place is big with lots of seating“

I happened to visit from a hour south of Rockledge and had a great time‼️ Cold beer, fresh cigars and a nice selection of music ? made an amazing night. No need to signal the bartender for a refill, she was right on it‼️??????“

“I've drove by here a bunch of times so had to check it out. Its a cool bar with games set up outside. Beer was cold and the bartender was prompt and polite.I understand FL is pretty humid at times but wiping off the outside seating would be clutch.“

“This place is a GEM. BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. House salad was also amazing and i finished all of it! Had the BEST server Megan, she had amazing service and really made it an enjoyable time for me and my friend. plus it is not too expensive either! LOVE PUB AMERICANA!!! GO GET A BURGER NOW!!!!“

The lights, the palm trees, AMAZING service the "big dude" (I am so sorry , I never got your name) was super awesome to my entire family - very friendly!! Really made our first trip to Florida outstanding! We went here twice in a week! Can't wait to come back next year!! ????“

“We love the view! of being right on the ocean, seeing the Cruise Ships on the horizon departing Cape Canaveral.?️The atmosphere with live music ? & the good company of customers.Of course, Scotty & Shawn are primo bartenders, BUT they didn’t have any Tanqueray Gin?! ??‍♀️“
