We were looking for somewhere for lunch and stumbled upon this place…read more There is inside and outside seating and the inside is dark with extremely high ceilings. The bar is large, with an amazing number of beer taps, many TVs and seating. We were quickly seated and given menus. The only thing I didn't like was that the beer menu has to be pulled up on your phone with a QR code. There are a lot of beers, and it would have been so much better to be able to view a whole menu and easily compare the choices. It was easier for me just to pick one of the first beers so I chose the Amber. Drinks were brought quickly and they gave us time to look at the menu. The Amber was good. There are plenty of appetizers, some salads, pizzas, handhelds and entrees. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Our food all arrived at the same time and was hot. My sandwich was super tasty and I loved the fries. Everyone liked their food. Service was good the entire time.

The brewery is beautiful--inviting, relaxed, and the kind of spot where you immediately want to settle in for another round. Then came the IPAs. We sampled them all, and every pint told a different story. One crashed over you like a salty Gulf Coast wave, bold and full of energy. Another unfolded like a peaceful walk through a pine forest, layered with earthy bitterness and just the right touch of sweetness. No two tasted alike, and that's exactly what made the experience so much fun. The biggest surprise? Every IPA was memorable. We expected good. We found outstanding. Meeting the brewmaster was the icing on the cake. Learning he's a fellow Stone Brewing fan made for a great conversation, and you can taste the passion and creativity in every glass. To everyone at Calusa Brewing--high fives all around. You made fans out of us, and we can't wait to come back for another flight.

We traveled to Siesta Key for 5 nights, and ended up and Calusa 2 of those 5 nights. The beer is top notch (I love a boozy IPA), and Pigfish (the attached restaurant) has incredible fresh food. I had the Caesar salad with Cobia both times, and quite frankly that salad is living rent free in my head. All this is to say GO TO CALUSA! I can't wait until my next trip to Siesta Key just so I Can visit this awesome brewery!!

A take on an old fashioned. Very good with whiskey, lemongrass, and ginger. Very light and refreshing for an August evening. I could do without the red peppercorns in the drink though. Chicken samosa appetizer was excellent. Modern croquettes with goat cheese and fig jelly was excellent, although ask for double the standard jelly. Eggplant was fair. Churrasco steak among the best in the city. Service was unacceptably slow. Would have been a five star review except for the service wait time. Almost knocked it down to a three for the wait between courses. Not very busy and the only other couple eating outside a few tables down complained about the wait. Hopefully management works that out. Food good, service really slow. Come enjoy the food when you have several hours. We will return but only when we the evening to enjoy the food. Will say the chocolate torte is memorable.

I will say "my fault" for not knowing (aka not hearing) that one of the rules is that the guy with the microphone does not repeat questions. Hard to play trivia when you can't hear the question, rule or not. Between the ambient noise, the squeaky microphone and the guy's high-pitched voice - it was impossible to hear. But rules are rules - except for the table next to us who asked and received repeated questions. When I asked for him to repeat a question he screamed "No!" Shocked, I called him a d*ck- because that's the way he was acting. I'm sticking to it. Happy to never go back there, trivia night or not. Too many other things I can do where I'm around grown ups. I'm sure he's happy too- fine by me. What an a**hole.
