There are multiple places to order food and you can start a tab so that if you are drinking beer you don't have to continue to multiple bills. The service was really quick.

We always try to visit when in town…read more Large and open space. Offers games- wall hook, darts, and corn hole. Has an eatery on-site/inside to order from with snack foods and pizza to tuna bowls. Easy enough to get a drink- can get crowded but they move quickly. Offer lots of beer (and wine) options - on tap and canned as well as a cooler of to go options. Offer sampler options as well. I am a fan of sours and tried a variety, to include a pickle sour, and we left with three six packs of various sours and beer. Sell shirts and memorabilia. Clear view of the tanks Separate area for private events Overall great vibe and a plus that they keep the sides open for a great breeze This time there was also wildlife, ;)

After we got to my mom and I decided to walk to Hell n Blazes brewing in downtown Melbourne. We…read morewere created by a very nice gentleman who told me he would be happily to assist us and whatever we ordered not only do they have a 360 wraparound bar. They also have seating; It's a seat yourself policy. For a drink I decided to get there Mr. pink Porter, which is a American Porter with notes of chocolate caramel and coffee. It is 6.2% ABV. My mom and I are currently sitting at the bar and Boy. Is it busy right now. However, this is the only brewery/bar. I've been to where they keep their additives that they add to the cocktails with the lid on them so no one is breathing or sneezing on them which I absolutely love. The gentleman assisting us was so nice; his name is Nick. He's amazing; very kind and efficient. The ambience of the brewery is like biker gang meet industrial warehouse. Definitely recommend. The flavor of my porter is very light and crisp. It's also very easy to drink. Very, robust flavor you can definitely taste the coffee and the caramel. 10/10

I had the pulled pork plate with mashed potatoes and cornbread of which was quite delicious. I enjoyed every bite. I must go back because there were other things on the menu that I have to try.

Wish there was a tad bit more avocado on it since it was in the name of the sandwich but overall pretty good. Fish and chips is always a good choice here with a large fillet well breaded and fried to perfection. The fries are a good portion too. My son had currywurst off the seasonal menu (changes every week) and he said it was very good. I have noticed a trend here though. Absent servers. Take your order. Maybe check on e food shows up brought by the expediter and that's it. No drink refresh unless you flag them down. Not sure if sections are assigned or I have been the victim of tables assigned being far apart. Either way seems like they think their job is done once food hits the table. The pretzel must be food service sourced not home made. They are inconsistent in size visit to visit and the beer cheese is runny. Sadly only three stars this visit.

4.5!! We really…read moreenjoyed. After taking in a Sunday matinee movie..while we were in Vero....we wanted to visit American Icon. I don't super recall having one of their beers at the Stuart beer festival, so I was excited about 'retrying' it. First, the building is awesome. Read the history on it, but also hard to ignore the giant generator that the beer comes out of it....super cool visual. I like the vibe of the place overall, and the patio seemed really nice but since it was our first visit I wanted to take the inside 'all in', and glad we did. Ok..the beers.... Flight: 6 5 oz pours for $15. Reasonable enough.. We started here just to see what pint we each wanted: *Freedom Tourch Stout: I loved it. *Hazy IPA *Double Vision IPA: Really enjoyed it; just amped up the hazy a bit. *Hef: Decent (not a super fan of hef, but wanted to sample) *Lager: Decent, it's a lager: * Icon IPA I ended up with an Icon IPA as my pint, enjoyed! Ok..the food * We split 10 wings for $16. Naked with nashville hot and blue cheese on teh side. Really enjoyed, meaty. * We also split a burger..the fun guy (funghi). We upgraded to sweet potato fries. I thought it was delicious, and the swp instead of marshmallow fluff had a maybe sweet cream cheese dip (i don't care it was delicious!) :) Now they were out of a few beers that was my first pick (including the Saison) but I guess it was others picks too..hence why they were out! Definitely want to go back!

FUN FACT: Dirty Oar Beer Company is one of two breweries located in Historic Cocoa Village. Also,…read moreit is one of nine breweries located on the Space Coast (Brevard County). With quite a small selection spread out across a large county, all the breweries have the opportunity to be unique. But for Dirty Oar Beer Company (which I will shorthand to simply the Dirty Oar), they need to be different from their neighbors, Bugnutty Brewing Company. So did Dirty Oar accomplish the aforementioned "challenge?" Well yes and no depending on what it is you are looking for. Located on the north side of Historic Cocoa Village - which is the south side of King St./US-520, Dirty Oar is a large aquamarine blue building heralding a beautiful mural of birds and an octopus. There is a back entrance where their biergarten is located and a front entrance which i will consider their storefront. Parking is a bit tight, but may be accommodating enough as Dirty Oar is not as rambunctious as their neighbors, Bugnutty, are. My friends, Charles the Grey a.k.a. Roadie X and Patrick joined me today as we enjoyed brews and food in their taproom. The area is kind of small compared to other taprooms, but maybe it is because the biergarten is much bigger for overflow accomodation. There are games for people to play, in which my friends enjoyed a game that was kind of like either/or, and it was fun. Not very intelligent, but whatever. This is where things can be a hit or miss. Maybe it is me, but the flight of "milkshake" beers did not impress me at all. If I am going to drink anything "milkshake flavored", I expect to taste said milkshake flavors. They tasted okay for beers, and maybe that is being more lenient as it was not what I was hoping for. Not bad, but definitely not a "milkshake." Food was delicious, but it comes from a food truck parked next to the biergarten. The grilled cheese was good and packed flavor into something simple, but the Frito pie: exquisite. To be fair, anyone that messes up a Frito pie doesn't deserve to cook anything. Overall, Dirty Oar was a-okay for an initial visit. Will I be back here? Of course, especially if I want a more personal time with friends, family, or a date. But will I go out of my way to go here compared to other breweries, probably not. Still, an a-okay establishment that I suggest visiting at least once. On a sidenote, Dirty Oar is one of the breweries that makes up the Launches & Lagers II Tour in Brevard. It is also a location in the Untappd App.

My wife & I were the only patrons there on a late Sunday afternoon and had a great conversation with Raimy as well as her providing us some sample of Dirty Oar's beers.

Just tried Citrus Thrasher for the first time and... wow…read more This beer is like a skateboard grinding a rail over a regular Thrasher while clipping a citrus tree on the way down It's crisp, bright, and refreshing without turning into that "who dumped orange juice in my IPA?" nonsense. You get the classic Thrasher backbone, then--bam--a clean citrus punch that feels intentional, balanced, and dangerously drinkable. Perfect Florida beer. Hot day? Yes. Beach nearby? Yes. Questioning why you ordered anything else? Also yes. Ocean Republic absolutely nailed this one. If regular Thrasher is your go-to, this is its cooler, slightly reckless cousin who shows up with a kick in the face and steals the show. Five stars. Would grind this rail again and again.

We wandered into the Village Tavern of Sebastian on a Saturday afternoon after running errands, and…read moreit instantly felt like one of those hidden gems you kick yourself for not finding sooner. We live just down the road in Vero Beach, so discovering a neighborhood tavern with this much charm practically in our backyard was a real win. We had already eaten lunch at Nini's Cuban across the parking lot, so we stopped in just for a beer. Within minutes we were pulled straight into the atmosphere. Nancy, the bartender and proprietor, is the kind of host every small tavern dreams of. Warm, funny, and completely at ease, she makes newcomers feel like long‑time regulars while keeping the whole place running smoothly. The beer selection is far better than you would expect from a cozy local spot. There is a rotating craft lineup that rivals bigger bars, along with the classics and a surprisingly solid wine list. We spent half our visit sipping and the other half laughing at the hilarious signs covering the walls and at the antics of a couple of regulars who clearly keep the place lively. We have not tried the food yet, but the vibe alone guarantees we will be back and we will be coming hungry. This is the kind of place where you settle in, meet the locals, and let the afternoon drift. For the record, our beer of choice that day was "Cougar Bait." It is as much fun to drink as it is to say!

If you're looking for a place that makes you feel like you actually belong in the neighborhood,…read moreVillage Tavern Restaurant is that rare gem that delivers comfort, quality, and character with every plate and pint. From the moment I slid onto a barstool, I knew I was in for something special -- and not just because the beer list reads like a love letter to hop heads and casual sippers alike. Each pint poured is thoughtful, crisp, and refreshing, with local craft brews rubbing shoulders beside tried‑and‑true favorites. I lost count somewhere around the third flight, but honestly? Worth it. And then there's Nancy, the bartender -- sweet lord, if every tavern had her warmth and precision, we'd all be happier people. She recommended beers without braggy pretension, anticipated refills like a mind reader, and managed a perfect balance of friendly conversation and professional grace. Her service alone is worth the trip. Great food, killer beers, and a bartender who makes you feel like a VIP? Village Tavern doesn't just raise the bar -- it is the bar.
