Alan and Gail highly recommend this pub as one of Merritt Island's best place for a great selection of IPA's .
Alan E.

Great selection of IPA's , great atmosphere and staff! We will definitely be back. Ice cold beer and friendly clientele.

I love this place! I'm not a big fan of overly crowded bars and this place is perfect for me. A wide variety of bottled beers to choose from and a few choices on draft as well. Friendly staff, clean bar. I like that you can draw on the bar too, makes for an interesting change. They also have a nice pool table in the back, which is hardly ever being used. My favorite spot to relax and play some pool. We will definitely be regulars here.

Hot sexy townies!

St. Patrick's Day brought us in for the holiday menu, and while things moved a little slower than…read moreexpected, the overall experience was still a good one. The place clearly has a strong neighborhood vibe. Even on a holiday, it felt like a regular hangout spot where many of the patrons seemed to know each other and the bartenders. That kind of atmosphere always adds a layer of warmth you can't manufacture. Service-wise, our waitress was very friendly and attentive when she was at the table. Food delivery did take longer than expected considering the restaurant didn't appear overly busy, but to be fair, it was a specialized St. Patrick's Day menu which likely slowed the kitchen down. Now to the food. My co-diner ordered the corned beef Reuben, served on grilled rye with a generous pile of crinkle fries. The sandwich was stacked with tender corned beef and had that classic deli-style balance of meat and sauerkraut. He described it simply as "very good," which from him is a strong endorsement. I ordered the traditional Irish stew with potatoes and cabbage, which came plated with a hearty portion of mashed potatoes. The stew itself had a few nice chunks of beef and vegetables in a rich brown gravy that definitely leaned into bold seasoning. The only note is that the pepper level was quite heavy across the stew, mashed potatoes, and cabbage. If you're someone who enjoys a strong pepper-forward flavor profile, this will absolutely be right up your alley. Portions were generous and the meal definitely delivered that comfort-food, stick-to-your-ribs Irish pub feeling. Overall, a positive experience with friendly service, a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere, and hearty holiday fare. I'd happily come back again -- especially to explore more of the regular menu outside the St. Patrick's Day rush.

The service was fine. The meals looked good. I'm to bite after bite. I'm still searching for the…read morefish. The fish and chips was just chips n batter. I signaled the bartender to let her know there was no fish, only batter, when suddenly approached by someone from the kitchen. I told him there were two small pieces of fish amongst this pile of batter and I was not satisfied with the meal. He has said, making excuses that he had cooked it himself and that it was fine. He took my plate of batter and walked off with an attitude. Recommend the fish and chips. The cook was rude and disrespectful. Definitely not at all what expected. I will never be back. Came for Easter dinner, left Hungary and Angry.

She was so fun & helpful and just the right amount of attentive, even on a very busy night. The live music topped it all off. I didn't catch his name but he sang 90s rock and it was great! And I don't typically like live music at a restaurant. We actually decided to come to Ryan's because the place we had dinner had a band and it was not enjoyable at all. It was a rough week for me and my friends - the fun, light night was exactly what we needed. Thank you! I would love to know more about when that guy is there would love to see him again. If you are in the area and want a fun night with good pizza and Greta service check out Ryan's!!

They have a deck upstairs with Tiki bar., views of the Indian River, and dining downstairs also. The service was good They are known for their pizza. You can buy pizza by the slice ,a 12 inch, a16 inch, a 18 inch, or a 24 inch. They also have sandwiches, pasta and even hotdogs. It was Tuesday, they had 2 tacos for $7.00 or 3 for $9.00. American tacos served with black beans or another side., typical cheap tacos, flour tortillas ground beef with taco seasoning, lettuce tomato and cheese, with a sour cream drizzle. They were okay, nothing to write home about. The biggest detractor was the ground beef filling It was very watery and was a mess to eat what with the liquid dripping everywhere. Everyone enjoyed the company and were okay with the food they ordered. They have music sometimes and happy hour specials on drinks.

We were looking for a lunch spot to try in Cocoa Village and decided on Pub Americana. Our server…read morewas great and very helpful with letting us know popular dishes. I ordered the Americana club sandwich (pictured) and switched out the fries for sweet potato ones - I loved it! It was very delicious and filling. Other people in my party ordered the Americana burger amongst other things not pictured. They all said they enjoyed it. My only note about this place was that when we arrived it was basically empty and even with it being empty, the food took a while to come out - much longer than you'd expect for the restaurant being slow. Other than that the overall experience was good and I do recommend going if you want a tasty sandwich/burger.

At this point Ive been here at least 5-6 times since I've moved here, but the pictures are from the…read morefirst visit to keep it genuine. From the jump, it became one of my "if we dont know where we want to eat, go here" kind of places. Easy, consistent and delicious every single time. We started with the ahi tuna appetizer. I was apprehensive, a tuna app at a pub? Fresh fruit, ginger, tuna was seasoned well, I couldnt be happier. It was trying a well balanced poke bowl right from the start. The wings. Award winning. I am so picky about wings, so to have a place make them properly brings me to my happy place. The wings cooked well, and the buffalo sauce has a kick like its supposed to. Its been a MUST every visit. I dont even know if they have other flavors. We tried the SPECIALE PIZZETTA, and that now gets ordered every time. This place could legit be a pizza place. In an area where good pizza is hard to find, this is a perfect solution. Now Ive tried a few burgers, every burger has been seasoned perfectly and still juicy despite asking for medium well, its only a matter of what you'd like for a topping. The Village Blues burger may be my favorite so far, its the only one ive had twice. The staff is great with us, they always have new beers to try, and its a why not situation! My only ask at all would be steak frites on the menu, I think that would be made so fire in a spot like this. That said, I came to write this review thinking about them because I might just get dinner there today!

Seating is a little old and dated but it's a pub so who cares. With their windows open you can sit outside, they have a very generous patio area. I moved from inside to outside, had a nice glass of wine and enjoyed the atmosphere. It's an incredibly friendly atmosphere lots of fun people and if you want dessert after having one of their giant pretzels there's ice cream next-door. The music was fine, the people were fine and did I mention that they are dog friendly? I got to pet all the puppies! That just made me even happier if it was possible. I hardly ever go anywhere anymore since Covid so this was a wonderful change. I will be back for sure and enjoy the ambience, the wonderful service, and the atmosphere. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about the Village Idiot pub!

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Apparently, the Yelp Skynet a.k.a. the AI that green or red flags reviews, doesn't like the actual name of this pub despite the fact it is the pub's name. Ergo, I will use the abbreviation VI for the remainder of this review. Besides that, you really can't go wrong going to any of the pubs in Historic Cocoa Village. VI is one of the pubs on the eastern side of the Village, in between the famous Fat Donkey's Ice Cream and the furthest east pub in the village, Ryan's. Appearance-wise, the outside fits primarily with the building, but there are some minute details that give it its own personality, primarily around its name. There is also a section of the road and sidewalk that have been garrisoned for VI as outdoor seating and games such as bean bag toss. Indoors, it is definitely your kinda pub that many of the patrons are friends. The right side (East) have long tables with many pub and drinking games such as Hook & Ring and Shut The Box. There is a bookshelf filled to the brim with board games in case patrons prefer traditional or childhood classics. The left side (West) is the "Patio," a room that is decorated by numerous plants, neon lighting, widker and a black-and-white checkerboard floor. Finally, the middle of the pub is the actual bar, in the form of an L-shape serving a nice arrangement of beers from many breweries, cideries, distilleries, and meaderies across the United States. I had the Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale by Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co. Other beer selections I would recommend include the Pineapple Cider by the famous Carib Brewing Co. and the Mango Cart by Golden Road Brewing. Personal note on the latter: Mango Carts, well for me, only taste good when straight from the tap. Cans are not good. And the food, it is minimal, but boy does VI know how to tug at my heartstrings as everything they have features, or could feature, cheese. They have pretzels with cheese, pickles with cheese, and my personal favorite, grilled cheese sandwiches. And for the more sophisticated patron, they have numerous choices in charcuterie boards, too. I will also state the drink prices are a bit on the high side compared to some other places I been to. And there are two restrooms that are single-serving and gender-specific. I don't believe the latter has to be gender-specific because they are single-serving. The barn doors are an interesting choice because they are not very good at blocking sound. I guess that is why VI blasts the music so nobody can hear the flatulence. Speaking of music, VI does have a small corner stage for small acts, possibly singular, to perform. Unless there is a pull-out large stage for outdoor performances, I don't see big bands, per se in higher number of members, performing here unless they can all jam in that tight-spaced stage. Ultimately, I am going to give VI three-out-of-five stars for this review. They are a solid pub that has all the fixin's of a good bar to go to. Maybe it is safe to say they really don't stand out too much, especially amongst the more unique bars in Historic Cocoa Village. But still, a good place to have a drink with friends with that "Everybody knows your name" kinda vibe.
