Not as good experience as when we visited three years ago. I walked in and was ignored. I asked I was to seat myself and a customer at the bar said yes. The server who finally came seemed friendly. We ordered unsweetened ice tea. We asked for refills and received them once. The rest of the meal, we had an empty glass. I was quite surprised they never asked if we wanted another refill. Then we received the bill. We were charged for the first set of refills. Guess I'm glad we didn't get more refills. I travel a lot and this is the first restaurant that charges for tea refills. We were quite surprised. Slow service Charged for ice tea refills and nothing told us that. Food was still good Not sure if we will come back next time we are in town. read more

Cute eclectic Irish pub! My first time ever visiting this area, the food was good, the sour beer I had was super tasty, and the live music was so fun! A nice experience sitting outside, even though it was a bit chilly the night we went. read more

Sort of funny how the wife and I found this place. I started this system when there were no smart phones, and continue this method even as they exist. If in a town and wondering where I should go, I seek out a bar with an adjective-animal in its name. Blind Pig. Fainting Goat. Happy Monkey. Whatever. Yes, I know a mermaid is only half fish, but it is my game and therefore it qualifies. Anyway, another thing my wife and I seek out is FONDUE. Thus, when we crossed my search of adjective-animal bars and her search of fondue...bingo. We made a great choice. This place just bleeds good vibes from the moment you walk in. Unique exterior, beer garden area, cool wall decor, corners with all sorts of stuff going on, cool outdoor patio area, and, most importantly, great service. Thor (I assume one of the managers) greeted us, and elevated our experience. He was just covering until the other bartender came on, but we enjoyed the heck out his friendliness, efficiency, humor, and knowledge of the menu and of the bar. We got the three cheese fondue dish, and it was amazing. Plenty of cheese, plenty of dippers. We didn't add protein (I believe that cheese has protein in it), and I thought the pretzel and potato were the best dippers, although bread is a given as a good choice. PLENTY of beer on tap, and I had the Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. Wife had the rose and liked it also. We went when they first opened, but you just had a feeling, looking around, that the place got FUN later on. Energetic background music, great atmosphere overall, fun people coming in, and this stop was awesome during our Vero Beach trip. I highly recommend, and see you there (the next time I go see my mom)... read more

10/10 for inclusive spaces!! And for having vegan options!! Super cute and even odd looking bar/restaurant/other space in Vero Beach. Limited parking shared with other businesses. Notable: This business charges an extra 3% on top of your bill to pay their staff, plus you are expected to tip. It is clearly noted in the menu. Lots of good beverages to choose!! Excited for vegan food, we ordered a vegan empanada app which was interesting in a puff pastry. I hope the pastry dough was sans butter. I ordered the cashew bowl plus tofu when I was told the tofu came crispy. I can attest this is not crispy tofu hahaha. And, as a plant based eater, I encourage the team to continue practicing their vegan cooking. I can't wait to come back. I want better meals though, as mine was a miss. I have faith though!! They are on the right track. Overall, highly recommend this fun and whimsical loving place. read more

Great atmosphere and food! My dinner was delicious and so was the fondue. I would definitely go back!

The band was playing and we enjoyed listening! The waitress/staff were quick to see what we were drinking. I decided not to have the grilled squid, but on a whim ordered it . It was cooked almost perfect and had a nice accompanying sauce. Yum!! You can sit inside where the band is, or outside and it's not loud at all. Enjoyed our visit and felt very welcomed. The Smithwick Irish Red beer was our go to with the octopus. We will be back to try more on the menu. read more

Kilted Mermaid - Bars Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

What can I say about a place that is truly amazing from start to finish. My sisters visit every year and this is their number 1 pick. We all love the shepherds pie here and it's hard to try anything else when you love that so much. The chocolate heath fondue is so wonderful and fun. Even my teenage granddaughter was smiling which says a lot. Servers are always excellent and accommodating no matter the request. Ambiance can't be beat. Make sure you attend on a music night. I almost left after the singer it became open mike and while I was waiting for my sister in bathroom they started and let's just say we had to find seats again because they were so good. read more

Good food, good service and a great singer... Really enjoyed the entertainment. Intimate, cozy atmosphere.

This little gem is a true gem! Found it via Yelp and we were not disappointed. It's sort of a hole in the wall, if you go in the back way like we did, but it's fantastic. The waitstaff seems to be really happy. Numerous people stopped at our table for various things throughout the evening. So we were in no way neglected there. The food is absurdly great and absurdly cheap. We got the cheese fondue (Swiss) and it was friggin' delicious. Pictured, though dark. Lots of bread, veggies, and we got the extra chicken as well served two for about $20!!! For two people!!! Dessert was the brownie and ice cream thing. Equally great. And to top it off, trivia night!! That was fun. Talking about the answers to the many questions, the host even said that he's no PhD and "I've got a neck tattoo and I'm wearing shorts so temper your expectations". Five rounds of 6-8 questions each on various generally pop culture topics. First and second place each got small prizes after each round. It was a lot of fun. We're on vacation but if we're in the area again we'll definitely stop by again. The fondue and trivia are must-dos!! read more

Kilted Mermaid - Swiss cheese fondue was incredible!!!!! - Bars Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

Wow! What a gem here in Vero Beach! I came here with sole friends and this place was packed. There was gentleman performing some latest tunes, and the vibes were great. With a recommendation from friends I decided to have the samosas as an appetizer. They came in hot but they were amazing. Sad I had to share with my group but I felt they be missing out on such experience. I then I had the curry chicken pot pie. This dish came in hotter, both temperature wise and spicy. I almost burned my tongue but I took my time and enjoyed every bite. Lastly, I didn't order fondue but my friends did and I was able to try it! Another item that just didn't miss! I think this is one of the restaurant's favorites. 10/10 will come back! read more

Amazing food. And I had an awesome experience there. I will be going back. If not for the food it will be for the atmosphere

The ambiance is awesome. Super cool boho artists vibe. I loved that! The wait staff are nice enough, may like to think they are cooler than they really are. :-P Bush league fondue. Just semi-hot cheese sauce served with chopped vegetables, some bread, and "roasted" vegetables which were sad looking. Beer selection is very good. Same with the wine. Bottom line take: drink don't eat. You can trust me, I was in the business. ;D read more

First time here per recommendation. What a meal we had!! The ambiance is that of a local, neighborhood bar with friendly servers and customers. The food- oh my!!!! We shared the fisherman's pie and kilted salad. Fresh and delicious. The choc fondue dessert was outrageous! Price point is very reasonable for the quality. Located in the art district of Vero.

We had a great time. Live music, very fun decor and good food. You seat yourself - so we found a bar table in the back for 2. Lisa and I are sober (4 years now) - but they had non-alcoholic Guinness! We ordered Shepards pie and a Fig, goat cheese and prosciutto flatbread. Try their fondu deserts. We had Almond Joy... Lisa loves coconut. What a great date night. read more

Absolutely loved this place, very eclectic, friendly crowd, good food and fairly priced. Live music was great. If you wanted to hear it louder, you could move inside or go outside if you wanted to converse with others. There's something for everyone.

This lovely local restaurant has everything beginning with a caring staff. From sitting down the vibe is very warm upbeat, welcoming, and friendly.

It was our first time there. It was raining really hard so there was some chaos with the seating. But, surprisingly we were seated rather fast. Waited a bit to be served but after our waiter got there the service was very good and timely. The drinks, the atmosphere and food was great. A bonus that they have live music which we enjoyed very much. We will be back with friends and family! read more

Yummy food and great vibes overall. Eating here felt like a fever dream. I loved the entire dining experience start to finish and I sat at the bar alone. There was live music. The service was great and the food top notch. I enjoyed Tofu Banh Mi & Vegan Empanada as well as the vegan chocolate fondue option. I spent the day at Sebastian inlet and this was the perfect dinner before a long drive home. My server was very nice and every person working that I interacted with was kind.

This was a very fun, funky, Bohemianesque vibe. We ate outside and our server as well as all the other staff we encounter it really very nice and gracious. We had the cheddar cheese fondue, which we thought was delicious, but heavy on the alcohol taste -so next time I will ask them to use less Beer if I get the cheddar again-but I think I'm gonna be trying the greyere fondue next anyway!!!I would also like to suggest an apple on the accoutrement tray. I am comparing to the melting pot because it's local ish and I love it so I think many people would use it as a comparison...I have also been to the home of a Parisian who made us fondue as well as multiple fondue places in bistros across Europe so I'm not comparing that..... we also had the chocolate fondue with Heath bars for dessert and that was good, but it had too much starch. It was a little bit more on the gelled side than straight melted chocolate. Not to say it wasn't delicious -it was -I'm just trying to explain what to expect. We also had I believe it was called the Irish fisherman's stew, pot pie or something along those lines which was really very good so all in all this place was a win and we will be back. (Apparently they also have like theme nights and bingo night and shows and all kinds of fun stuff. I'm just reviewing the food That I had my one experience.) read more

Great beers on tap, great service, great fondue desserts! Ok music. Listen to some country music afterwards to get your man card back.

I love how unique the look and style of this place is, the vibrant colors inside and the live music is always a pleasure. A good place for group gatherings. The cheese fondues are always delicious especially if you add the steak and chicken. It's a whole meal in itself. I like all the local beer options as well. My only negative as to why I didn't give it 5 stars is that we've come 3x's with family and friends because we tell them they need to try the Shepherds pie and they've been ALWAYS are out! Even when we've called ahead of time to make sure they have it available. It's been 3 disappointing visits for sure. Maybe they just sell out too fast or they don't buy enough to keep up with the demand especially because two of those 3x's there was other dishes that were not available when we went. So if you go have at least 2-3 different food options in mind when ordering. read more

11/22/22: Well, how can you pass up a 'mermaid'? This was such a fun find. Loved the small plates and offerings at this local craft/wine bar plus... plus because the food was great, service was spot on and the atmosphere was kitschy/funky fun. We found this place after visiting a museum and wanting a bite to eat, but not something chain. This place is far from chain and a local establishment. We got there when they opened and by the time we left it was getting packed. We tried their charcuterie board and added some meat. Added roasted olives & crackers, a Mediterranean flatbread and Swiss fondue! We loved their food! Delicious! We will definitely be back when we are in the area. Note: if you don't drink, water is key. read more
