Cute little (more like tiny) dive bar. Holds about 12 people. Has a window and you can order drinks on your way into the beach, which is right there. Came here on August 23 with my gf to celebrate our birthday week. Had a great time. Mo the bartender also made it fun. He lets the patrons choose songs and he adds it to the play list. I had a basic vodka tonic and some jello shots (yeah we hung out as if we were in our 30s again). This review is more about the vibe. The place closes at 7 and, in the back, the party continues with a live band and another bar that was great! Looking forward to returning! read more

Best little hidden bar in cocoa beach If you blink you'd miss it on the way to Coconuts But make sure to drop in for a cocktail or a cold beer Kim is an amazing bartender. She makes a mean spicy Bloody Mary. Cute little patio for when the weather is nice And seating at the bar for when you need to hunker down from some not so nice weather. Love this place read more

This bar is an absolute disaster. The little security guard Preston was completely out of line. I have video of him making threats to head butt my wife. He then got one of his buddies( "guy" in blue flannel) to push my wife and then said"equal left equal rights". I watched it happen right in front of me and I have proof. He's very lucky I didn't see that. When I asked about the camera footage, suddenly the staff claimed there was a "power outage" and the cameras magically weren't working. Sure they weren't. One of their own employees even admitted Preston is known for being reactive, yet this place still lets him roam around like he runs the place. Also want to mention, take a look at his pupils. I'll let you use your imagination on this one .Management tried to lie and say he didn't work there, even though their own staff confirmed he did. The amount of dishonesty here is honestly embarrassing. And if the staff doesn't send you running, the bar itself will trip you on the way out. There's a big, obvious hump in the middle of the floor that multiple people wiped out on the same night. They don't fix it, they don't warn anyone, they just let people fall. This bar is a clown show from the staff to the safety. They need a complete reset. P.S. If you're wondering why the security guard had blood on his face, all I'll say is that he went down on his own when things escalated. Draw your own conclusions. read more

Solid little dive bar. Good beer selection. Had a Red Stripe and Kona Big Wave while there. Place is very small but kind of adds to its appeal. There are slot machines there as well which is unique. Live music until 11pm on an outdoor stage. Would return for sure. Unique dive. read more

Hunkerdown Hideaway - Dive Bars Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

JUST tried to visit this place for dinner and drinks, but two grown women in the parking lot gave me such a hard time in the parking lot, I chose to leave. Parking is tricky and in unfamiliar territory after a very long drive the one way streets add to the challenge. Too bad, I've heard good things. read more

Best Bloody Mary in town. Every Sunday! The beach is right there. Parking can be tricky but if you are spending the day at the beach it's worth the try. Go check it out. read more

I'm so glad they are able to operate during these trying times. A great little dive bar we found during our stay. The bartender was super sweet! Order the pudding shots--delicious!! read more

Great Bloody Mary bar on Sundays, It's a tourist town so you never know what the crowd may be.

This dive bar is small and hard to notice from the outside. They had a band playing on the enclosed patio, which is actually most of the space they have. The bar staff pumped out the drinks quickly and we really enjoyed the band. read more

Great bloody marys! Spicy, well made, and come with a slim jim. You can't beat the prices here, and the bartenders are super friendly. They do a great job. read more

So basically a bunch of folks dont like the "Dive" part of Dive Bars.....Kind of like someone bragging to all of his or her friends about being an amazing bungee jumper but once someone actually takes them bungee jumping they complain about how high up it is and how far down the bottom is....get a life!!!! Never been to this place but would probably go now just to see if I can point out all the easily startled shiny pretty boys and girls that get depressed as soon as they realize nobody else in the place looks like a Kardashian........Just stay in your cars in the parking lot and keep watching reality shows about single morons on an island looking for love. read more

Friendly people and live music on Sunday! It has a dive bar feel. Local vibe. We had a great time!

Cheap drinks and a cool atmosphere at the bar. 2 stars because there was actual dried diarrhea on the floor of the women's restroom. Not the dive experience I was anticipating. read more

My first time ever to Cocoa Beach and I stumbled (not literally) into this bar. First thing I noticed, man is it tiny. But that gave it the perfect "dive" feel. The bartenders were always available and I never once thought "when am I going to get another beer?" They were very friendly and positive. The crowd got pretty rowdy but that tends to happen when the beers are continually flowing. It was battle just to get to play the jukebox, but I can't blame the establishment for that. They have trivia, live music (Sublime-type jam band when I went), and it was just a very mellow bar. It IS a smoking bar so if you don't like cigarette smoke take heed. However, if you don't mind it I suggest this bar because I left there feeling happier than when I went in [not just because of the alcohol :) ] Would I recommend to friends? Absolutely!! read more

Anyone familiar with the end of Minutemen Pkwy probably already knows about the uber-beachy and always crowded Coconuts. Cramped around Coconuts, though, you'll find smaller, more discreet bars tucked in for the locals and more adventurous out of towners. Hunkerdown is one such place. Tucked into the parking lot-alley combo beside Coconuts Hunkerdown consists of a small indoor patio-like bar, a tiki patio and an inner courtyard. Loud and bass-heavy juke box is kinda fun at times but the out door areas are nice to escape to, also. The drinks here are a bit stronger than most other places around town and prices are fair. Cash only. read more

This is a biker dive bar with great character. We went on a Sunday morning. The fully loaded Bloody Mary is unique and fun. Loved having a breakfast in a drink. Fun place, friendly people and unique drinks. A definite do again! read more

We love the Hunkerdown! Stopped by on Christmas Eve after watching the surfing Santas on Ccocoa Beach. Their personalized bloody Marys are awesome! Just a fun, low key, local hangout. Be sure to check out the art work done by a very talented local artist. read more

drinks were super affordable but server was an asshole. it was early too so it wasnt busy. i AM a server so i try to give grace but not impressed by the service. read more

Not cool what they did. Wish I would have read the reviews before going! We ordered shots and were charged for each liquor separately! How in the world do you end up with a $20 shot??? Pay with cash as you go and ask how much drinks cost beforehand. read more

This is a really fun spot to go to and hang out with a bunch of friends the music here is great and the bartenders are very friendly and it is in a very great area read more

This used to be my favorite dive bar in cocoa Beach until today. Every employee here that I've ever encountered and I'm great, with the exception of Chris who I had the displeasure of meeting today. Dogs are not allowed here as I discovered today. Good to know, as I've brought my dog to this bar more than once, including last week, have never been told they are not allowed, and there is no signs posted that dogs are not allowed. Today for first time the bartender told me that they normally don't allow dogs. As I was leaving another employee stopped me and showed me where I could keep my dog on the property line. 10 minutes later, halfway into my first (and last, ever) at hunker down, an employee named Chris approached me, raising her voice, showing me a Facebook post about how dogs aren't allowed. I told her that was good to know since two of her employees told me different things and there is no sign posted. She continued to argue with me even though I wasn't even arguing with her initially. Our disagreement came after I told her that she could have communicated her message to me without being disrespectful. Her response was that she was respecting the owners. I told her she could respect both her customers and the owners, these are not mutually exclusive things, which I guess she really didn't appreciate because she was still trying to argue with me in a raised voice as I was walking out the door. She approached me so aggressively that my dog was scared of her. And my dog likes everyone. She's literally the second person I've ever even heard him bark at and he's 5 years old. And for the record, my dog was not even on the property line when she approached me. He was beyond the property line but near me, exactly where the other employee told me to be. There are lots of bars in Cocoa Beach where just like Hunker Down, you can't bring your dog, but unlike Hunker Down they don't approach customers yelling at them. read more

Well, considering I arrived after having way too much to drink and not really knowing where I was, I can't say much about the outside of this place. But the inside (which is mostly outside anyway) is... sketchy. It's just the diviest of dive bars. The drinks were alright, the bathrooms were downright scary. The band wasn't bad but wasn't great. There were some shady looking people too. But for some reason it's a favorite among my group so we will be back! read more

Definitely one of my favorite dive bars in CocoaBeach love the indoor outdoor vibe. Bloody Mary's on Sunday are always amazing and a must. Prefer it's low-key atmosphere versus coconuts on the beach. read more

Sunday Bloody Sunday. The Bloody Mary Bar is awesome! A huge list of items to top off Tito's & ZingZang. They make a tasty Poinsettia for those tomato haters. read more

Easily my favorite bar in Cocoa Beach. Fun Bartenders who always take care of me. the crowd is very much mixed and there are really very few pretentious people. Late night tends to pull in the service crowd from surrounding restaurants. Its a great place to have a casual drink with friends or wind down from a hard week of work. read more

Great bloody marry. A neat little place with good vibes.

Being that this place was on the beach, I expected to get some cheap beers and see a little eye candy. Well at least the beers were cheap. As far as eye candy, it was more like a bunch of old, drunk, mummified, wrinkley, leather bags in bikinis. Dear God!! I had to leave in order to keep down the cheap beer I just bought. I highly recommend this place to anyone visually impaired. read more
