This is our third time trying this place. All locals take a hard pass on it and they can’t properly get it together to even get spring breakers in there. We’ve been told too bad about how loud it was at 6PM when the DJ set up and got rid of the happy hour crowd a few months ago. On Friday, the manager came out to embarrass the live music act who was talking to us for a moment (as we were the only people outside and about half of the customers total in the bar). He (the manager) rudely came over and said he wasn’t paying him to talk to people and that it’s silent inside and didn’t apologize to us and just went back inside. I don’t expect this place will be around much longer, such a great location too. So many better options in the area.

Went way down hill. 1:35pm on a Wednesday none of their 3 shops are open. So either opener is an hour an a half late or they are out of business....ALSO unsafe to enter their pizza shop...

We only had drinks, but the service was great and the cocktails first rate. Nice place to have a drink and relax.

This is a hidden gem on A1A in downtown Cocoa Beach. Beautiful large multi-level deck with excellent music and bar service. Actually has inside live dance plus outdoor bands including great reggae. Across from direct beach entry access too. Highly recommend! Dean

Fun place to go for music, they always have DJs on the weekend and it's close to the beach. A nice lil pit stop before or after going to the beach or seeing a rocket launch. Otherwise anything you'd expect if a bar you will find here

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Dunes in Cocoa Beach 9/16 and was fortunate enough to encounter an extraordinary bartender who left a lasting impression. Words cannot express the level of professionalism and skill this individual possesses.From the moment I took a seat at the bar, it was evident that Shayla was not just an mixologist but a true artist.However, what truly set her apart was her genuine passion for her drinks! Especially the Mojitos! She approached each drink with meticulous attention to detail. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and it was evident that she genuinely cared about providing an exceptional experience for each patron.Not only was her technical skill impressive, but her ability to connect with customers was truly remarkable. She possesses a warm and charismatic personality that instantly made me feel welcome and valued as a guest. Her ability to engage in conversations, offer recommendations, and remember preferences created a personalized experience that went above and beyond my expectations.In addition to her remarkable skills, this bartender consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism. She maintained a clean and organized workspace, ensuring that every drink was served with precision and a touch of elegance.Overall, my time spent at The Dunes was elevated by the presence of Shayla. Her remarkable skills, passion, and professionalism set her apart as a true maestro of mixology. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting The Dunes in Cocoa Beach and indulging in the expertly crafted libations served by this extraordinary individual.To this remarkable bartender, thank you for an unforgettable experience. Your dedication to your craft and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly admirable. You have set the bar high for excellence in the industry, and I eagerly anticipate returning to enjoy your exceptional creations once again.Bravo! ? ?

Was so excited to go to here because of the pictures I’d seen but after my experience last night, I will never be back. The bartenders should definitely find another profession because costumer service isn’t for them. Not only were they rude and dismissive, but they refused to let me order at all! with the price of their drinks, you would expect quality service, but that is most definitely not the case here. The first bartender I met, I asked him if they did anything for birthdays. He rudely said no and when I went to order a drink he only served me water. He had an attitude from the moment I walked in. He served the rest of the party and even served a girl sleeping in the corner! When my sister and her friends walked in, he said now he does do a birthday shot because she “brought in all these pretty ladies”. He refused to even look at me which was extremely dehumanizing. When I went to a different bartender he asked what I wanted and when I looked down at the menu to find the name of the drink I wanted, he shooed his hands and walked away. This place doesn’t even deserve the one star it’s getting.

Came on a Sunday and it was busy but not packed. Bartender service was great and it was pretty clean even the restrooms were kept up with which I was worried about. The trash was overflowing but it did get changed in a timely manner. Not sure if the dumpster near the back is normal but it is my only complaint as you can smell it if you're in the patio area. Overall enjoy the atmosphere and will be back in the future and update my review.

This place is gross. The bathrooms are so scary that I am afraid to drink the drink I waited an eternity for when there is no one in here. Such a shame. Lulu's was awesome and this place is...well, what worse than terrible?
Just as the laid-back and welcoming patio's neon sign says, this beach spot delivers all the good vibes! DJs and the reliable bartenders keep the fun energy flowing. DJs offering up melodic tribal sounds has been a great draw. The ambiance of this cozy & chill space is really inviting, has a pleasing color palette and style. Servers are friendly and upbeat. I really enjoyed the food & cocktails and highly recommend the poke bowl, fish & chips, shrimp & chips, as well as the margherita pizza. Also love the guacamole! Try the yummy Rosy Paloma, Hula Crush or if you're up for a challenge, try one of the awesome buckets like the Dunes Signature! If you like hookah you can also experience this while at The Dunes Cocoa Beach or stock up on libations before hitting the beach. Will definitely be back to enjoy the beach, music, delicious bites and drinks for the summer.

Trendy new addition (not sure that I am the target audience) to downtown Cocoa Beach, just south of Minuteman on A1A N. Can't vouch for the food, but great drink specials every day of the week and awesome (and is Intagrammable a word?!) indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of great bars in the neighborhood (we stopped by after an afternoon at the incomparable dive, Beach Shack), but this spot is definitely worth a stop after a day at the beach or during an evening of CB bar-hopping!

Espresso Martini is my favorite drink here. You can have it hot, sweet, or both.
