    This bar is pretty cute. It has TVs. It looks like a great place to watch a game. I popped in here for lunch. The wings were fried really good and the sauces that came with were very good. The tater tots are fried really well and my husband got a taco shell thing that was actually pretty good as well.The taco meal came with a shot which the server forgot so make sure you remind them!

    Great live band on the patio

    Had a great night here last night! Of all our visits to Main St. not sure why this place hasn't been on our radar. For a "Bar & Grill" the food is wonderful!! We had an assortment from fish & chips, sandwiches & yummy shrimp tacos! Everything was delicious & eaten up. Good drinks. Service was on point! Live music on the patio. They had a young super fun band outside which is where we spent our night even though inside seems like a cool vibe too. We stopped in for food & drinks but stayed because of the band. Only downside is they should have cleared a couple tables by the stage bc while we did get some moves in, we would've liked to go up & dance ! Fun Friday we'll definitely go back when they have the live band again !

    Love this place!! ... the drinks are outstanding and the food is fresh and delicious. Doesn't matter how busy they are the waitstaff are friendly and always smiling! Does it help that I am a rabid Michigan fan and Raffurty's is owned by a fellow fanatic?! Yes ... yes it does. Watched Michigan win their National title here as well The Game. Great atmosphere!! Can't wait to take in an Eagles game! If you can't watch at The Big House - Raffurty's is the next best thing ...

    Friendly service and quick! We were sad to see it was no longer a "Green Bay Packer" bar. Still very nice place.

    Fish fry

    Had a great time today. The barkeep was incredible. She held down tables, bar patrons, a visiting dog, and my bad humor. She laughed at every joke, and that is not easy. I enjoyed sitting outside watching the four 40" tvs with games of March Madness Then there was the extra help she had, the guy continually stopped by, checked on the 8 tables outside while running around clearing tables and changing tvs inside and out. Great service!!! But that is not part of the review. For the review I had the fish fry. Let me say it was a good fry. Fish was excellent, paired with well salted fries too. My wife ordered the flatbread Margarita Pizza. It was delicious too. My rating a 4.3. Thanks for reading .

    Taylor is an excellent waiter.

    Friday, January 16, 2026 - Two for a burger bite. Not before the FST show…read more (GOSUB to the **** for the meat/burger of the review ((smile)) ) I have reviewed about 30 restaurants in and around Sarasota since 2021 when we moved down permanently and are members of the FST. On this Friday night, nothing was going right. My wife was delayed at school etc. So then a delayed departure from Venice, a false stop at Mad Moe's for a burger in Osprey (PACKED) and then a direct shot and parking across from FST we hope for a quick burger or something at the bar or restaurant at FST? But it was PACKED and they weren't serving any more???? We threw our tickets in the trash because now we could not make it back in time, (( frown :-( )) So a walk to Main Street to see if Patrick's or anybody might have room for two? NOPE. and we were walking along and THERE WAS BREWSTER's GASTROPUB!!!!!!!!!! For some reason I have 128 restaurants on my Sarasota Favorites list and Brewster's was not on it? I checked them on as I entered??? Looked VERY full at the bar, and most tables were full but it looked like we had a shot...... and there was a four top high-top!!!!!!! WIDE OPEN!! I think the no table service might be the delineator. We weren't looking for a sit down "dining" and full service gig. Nor did we need the overhead and pomp and circumstance of a host/hostess, army of bus staff, a waitstaff and being waited on with drinks and water and etc? ******** We came to EAT GOOD SIMPLE FOOD and have FUN. **** And that's what we did!!! "Todd" at the bar was friendly and fantastic. All the bartenders and staff were helpful and friendly. The "security guy" when he saw me at the bar for about 20 seconds helped me get some ketchup. Zone defense and team effort!!!! I got the signature Brew Burger and a side of Street Corn and had an endless glass of water w/ lemon I think I had Todd fill about 5 times. My wife and I bantered about what the Street Corn would be and we were happily surprised with the authentic Mexican Street Corn (elotes?) on the cob with a stick and a delightful creamy Chile, garlic, and Cotija cheese sauce I think. (problem is we gobble them up before we could figure out the exact sauce composition here. BUT it was very tasty. 10/10 The burger (for this adult usually nutritarian plant-based eater) was EXACTLY what I had hoped for. A wonderfully fresh an warm brioche bun, fantastic angus burger, cheddar and a "secret sauce" . I got lettuce onion and pickles which are standard...... this was VERY VERY VERY tasty. only quip is I will opt for sauce on the side and its was a little too much sauce. This was mega and uber better than some greasy Five Guys or Smashburger or any of that stuff. 10/10 My wife got the Shroom & Swiss Burger that had a wonderful portobello mushroom on it nicely cooked, terrific angus burger properly cooked exactly as we ordered it, she loved the blue cheese perfect amount, She also felt a bit TOO much of the secret sauce, but its pretty tasty so not a catastrophe. This was also an AWESOME burger!! 10/10 The sweet potato fries were not crazy greasy and perfectly crisp but not crunchy for fries - good, cross-cut and obviously bulk bag. Cut or sliced would be nicer but of course not expected, its a side. 7/10 The place is clean and glassware and silverware perfectly clean. The counter/bar service is fantastic. I had to make a few trips for ketchup and place ware and etc but hey when your wife gets one of the better vodka cranberry w/lemon and club in a large tumble for $9 instead of $15 or $16 for a 6 oz martini glass with 4 oz of watery drink........ its a home run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With all the TVs and sports that is probably the summary of my review. Brewster's Gastropub is a Grand Slam for food and service......and especially burgers!!! Bravo Zulu.

    Stopped here after traveling to the Ringling museum and their chicken sandwich was a 10/10. Great…read morechill vibes and good beer!
