“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“
“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.“
“I enjoyed the most delicious grouper sandwich ever! The breading is perfect! Homemade sauces are what really makes this place stand out. Onion rings are really good also. What could be better than this? The customer service! Grace was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed have a wonderful lunch outdoors on the waterfront patio. This place is a ? gem. I highly recommend dining here. You won’t be disappointed.“
“Hoke in the wall biker bar, check. Good prices, check. A place that plays decent music- finally! A few miles from my home-yup! Lacking in tables... well who sits anywhere but the bar anyway? Weird looks form the locals- check, but I'm a local now so maybe in time, lol. Beer selection: sad but sufficient. Not a place to get craft beer, but they have beer, and it's not overpriced so that's a huge plus. They have video games, pool table, all you really need to for a night out without breaking the bank, so I'll be back. While I enjoyed my burger, mostly because it wasn't over priced, my elderly mom wasn't a huge fan... honestly any meal that tastes good that I don't have to cook myself, and doesn't make me sick is at least 3 stars. Service was ok, the lady bartender was not the speediest or friendliest in town by any means, seems like she has her locals she'd rather wait on, but the guy working told us a lot more about the daily specials, karaoke, and other events they do, so it was nice to get informed... this bar seems like the kind of place that ignores you until they find out your not a tourist, lol. Id probably do the same so can't really blame them for that Overall, cold beer, good prices, and not disgusting, thats a win for Florida.“
“The Merritt Island front end/kitchen staff work so hard all the way up until their late closing. I admire their attitudes, it's not easy working with the public. I saw some customers showing their worst behavior last night and the staff handled it like professionals.“
“We stayed at the hotel across the street before and after our cruise. When we asked for a food recommendation when we arrived, she told us to go try the “Crack Mac” across the street. We were so glad that she gave us the recommendation. We had been to multiple different restaurants over the previous weeks and this was the first time that EVERYONE was happy with their food. There wasn’t a single complaint. We went on the cruise and I craved the burger and Mac n cheese the entire time. We all agreed that we were going back to Big Daddy J’s when we got back. We did and it was delicious again. If I ever return to Cocoa Beach, Big Daddy J’s will be a must visit for me.“
“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.“
“Was starving for a restaurant-styled burger and popped in to The Preacher Bar. Burger was outstanding! Delicious and cooked exactly the way I ordered it - rare.Cool friendly staff and very relaxing interior. Lots of locals except for me. Give it a try!“
“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 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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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!“
“Love this place! This is my neighborhood bar and am happy. My Gma lives down the road from this place and I’ve seen the bar change over years. So pleased to see it turned into a good vibes place for all of us. Mango cart on tap and mahi mahi tacos blackened = perfect Sunday afternoon. My server Carrie was amazing, friendly n outgoing, she was always there when I needed anything! Pro tip: sit outside on the deck and walk down the tiki hut for a nitecap and watch the River!“
“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!“
“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.“

“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. ?“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“I love dive bars, so if you do, then you must check this one out. It is beer and cash only. Bartender and Patrons were so friendly and welcoming. There are arcade games and pool tables. Touch tunes avail to play your favorite hits. I will definitely stop in another day.“
“Me and my husband came in last night for our first time… The food was amazing and our waitress hayley was such a sweetheart and very entertaining… Her and one of her other coworkers made our night by giving us a nice laugh and was constantly checking up on us. Great first experience. We will certainly be back.“
“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!!!!“
“Love it! Right off the road, the gateway to the entire beach area! 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!! ????“
“Some friends and I came to see the Iron Maidens at Wynfields back on October 20th, 2022. Tickets were about $30, which is great for a great band if their stature. Even though we arrived early, the line to get in was wrapped around the building. Wynfield's looks unassuming from the outside yet its surprisingly large once you enter. Drinks are reasonably priced and staff did a great job keeping up with the masses. The bar area is huge and takes up a lot of space, but I don't wish it gone; if I was a local here, I would say it's iconic to the venue and evokes a sense of nostalgia to the staff and their customers. There is a decent sized dancefloor in front of the main stage however the stage is not high enough for everyone in the back to get a good view of the band. The overall sound here was pretty good; however, the lighting was horrible. I probably took 200 photos and maybe 25 of them came out great. What's up with the green, red, and blue lighting for the entire show??? Please add some white lighting in there so we can see what the hell is going on. Oh yeah, and the smoke machines only enhance the poor lighting situation so, please keep the smoke down to a few songs, thank you! All-in-all, the two bands, Whiplash (Metallica Tribute) and the Iron Maidens really killed it on this night. Wynfield's is just small enough that we had a chance to meet with the musicians after the show for a photo op, Love this! Although I don't make it to Satellite Beach often, when I do, I look forward to checking out Wynfield's again.“
“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!“
