If we lived in Sarasota this would be our favorite brewery to hang out at! Amazing vibes, delicious beer, and a friendly staff makes this place a perfect brewery. We did the $5 Mystery Flight that is only available on Fridays. We loved the variety of beers they picked for us. Parking is very limited, but after 6:00PM they do open a few more spots across the street at a local business. Cheers to delicious craft beer! read more

Sun King Sarasota - $5 Friday Mystery Beer Flight! - Brewpubs Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

From Indiana, and I'm very used to the quality of Sun Kings products I constantly go back further Amber ales one available Amber has two months is absolutely the smoothest amber out there The only issue I constantly have with this location unlike the Indiana locations is their parking very limited and their outdoor space is not flat, which makes it very uncomfortable for seating read more

Shout out to Cara for making our visit a great one! After visiting the Carmel, Indiana location we had to come and visit the Sarasota location while we were in town. Know that it's in an industrial park, it's easy to miss, and parking is extremely limited. However, once you're there, enjoy the chill vibe. The beer is consistently delicious. I started with the cream ale, which is a favorite of ours, but switched to the Hoops There It Is, which is a peach flavored wheat beer that was incredible! I liked it so much I took a crowler home with me to enjoy. There was a New Haven style pizza truck that people came specifically for. If we didn't have other dinner plans, we would've stayed to try it. The outside seating area is cozy and there's bags there too to play. It looked like there was someone coming in to do trivia night? As for the inside, it's barebones but I'm here for good beer and conversation. We will definitely be back when were in town. Plus, now knowing the parking situation we'll be smarter next time. read more

Visiting Sarasota and needed a place to have a quick bite, saw Sun King Brewing and got my interest. They don't have a kitchen, but there was a food truck that had New Haven Style pizza (I'm told that the crust is charred is the technique). My mum and grams finished the 2 boxes of pizza they ordered. Back to the brewery, the bartender was super helpful since my grams hasn't been to a brewery in awhile. Sun King has alot of drinks that are fruity, sweet or taste like ice cream. My favorite was the Orange Cream Ale because it's exactly like the ice cream when I drank as part of a flight. In 1 pint form, the taste gets a little diluted. The Lollipop Watermelon would have to be my second go to, sweet, but tarty. Ended up buying a pack of beer because of the cute dog/cat designs, can't wait to try it back at home!! read more

We live in Orlando and only get over here 2 or 3 times a year. The service is always amayzing and the beers are delicious. I am worried that that no longer brew any beer at this location. We miss the lollypop sour line. Please bring it back. read more

Sun King has some really great beers! Their Beach lite lager is perfect to take on the beach. They have 2 cream ales which are also very good. Just a very good hidden gem brewery in Florida! read more

Love this place. Owner is super talented and you must try a taste of something you might not have ever thought you'd like. (Even if you're not a beer drinker, you might be pleasantly surprised) His descriptions of each beer is spot on. A few big award winners as well. I I think there's some wine slushies too. I'll try that next. I just love a craft beer and this place hits the spot for me. It's a comfy place for locals to hang out and even bring their pets. We followed Dan Apizz and that's how we ended up at Sun King. What fantastic treat to have amazing beer to go along with New Haven Connecticut style pizza. read more

Love this place and the variety of beers. Perfect outdoor seating to enjoy some fresh air and read a book. The service is also top notch with Andrea and Cara always refilling your glass just at the right time with a smile and great conversation. read more

If you're in Sarasota, you have to stop at Sun King brewery. They have IPAs, Sours, Lagers, Porters, Cream Ales. They're all very good. And Brett is very attentive and makes sure your glass is never empty. The back patio is breezy and relaxing. read more

Really wanted to like this place, but every beer we tried tasted old/flat. May give it another try, vibe was decent.

We were a little bit early for the Orioles baseball game, so went over to this brewery. So nice to sit outside and enjoy some drinks. Hubby tried the mystery flight for five dollars and found a couple that he liked. We had a bag of pretzels and I had a kombucha. We enjoyed watching people coming in and out, filling their growlers. Service was great! read more

My husband and I lived walking distance from Sun King in Indianapolis for 4 years, so we were obviously stoked when we came on vacation to Sarasota and were able to have a Sun King fix! This location reminds us of the Indy one, just on a smaller scale. The staff was extremely attentive & friendly- we loved Zack working at the bar when we came on Tuesday night for bingo night. Bingo night is such a fun activity to offer at the brewery- it's a nice break from trivia for those that may not be gifted academically haha. Although the location doesn't offer any food, there was indeed a food truck parked outside to serve patrons! We brought in our own takeout & enjoyed it with our draft. The taproom is dog-friendly- but you've gotta keep your furry friends outside. The taproom is kid friendly & also offers some board games for guests to play. My only suggestion would be to consider some low table options inside for guests that may come in and be restricted to a wheelchair and can't sit with others at a high top. Although there are tables at regular height offered outside. We had such a great time enjoying beers we used to regular in Indiana & can't wait to come back and visit again to see the news beers they'll release! read more

Dropped in on a whim - so glad I did... Dropped into this brewery while staying nearby as my wife recovered from a follow-up procedure. It was a special outing. The general manger on duty was super friendly and accommodating to all my questions and queries. The beers I had were very delicious, and the ambiance or at least the decor of the place was really appealing. I would not hesitate suggesting to friends and family to drop by and have a few of their offerings, none whatsoever... read more

Fun little hidden brewery. Staff were very nice and brews great. Outdoor seating with cornhole was a plus since I brought the kids. Tried four beers in the sampler and the cream ale, pachango, and glf pale all very good. Got a crowler to go. I'd be a regular if I didn't live half a continent away. read more

The Orange Vanilla sunlight is probably the best beer I have ever had and I strongly recommend, even for those that generally don't like beer. We decided to make a visit to the actual brewery as we had just learned about it l, but man... we were disappointed. While they had great beer, the personality behind the bar is something less spectacular. I am sure they are nice people, but they are neither engaging, fun, or have any personality. If you want this great beer, I suggest getting it to go or pay just a tiny bit extra and visit Yard House while still enjoying an affordable, amazing beer. read more

Cool micro brewery type place. Chill vibe. Couple TVs. Attentive staff. No food, but good pizza truck outside.

Really nice beer, a cool warehouse aesthetic and nice service. The darker beers, despite the name of the brewery, were our favorite

Wow! This place is fantastic! Delicious beer enjoyed with great friends at Sun King! We loved our afternoon here and loved the atmosphere read more

Great selection of Sun King beers with a small bar inside and several tables outside. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and they had a guitarist playing a variety of music and taking requests.

Wearing my Indiana tshirt, we stopped in for a quick beer before continuing on. Beer was of course excellent and the manager was friendly and we chatted about Indianapolis and how Sarasota is a much better choice right about now (ie, the weather). read more

Grand opening was YESTERDAY! They are a brewery out of Indiana, and this is is their first florida location. They have food, board games, and tv's inside so you can come and stay awhile! The staff is very friendly and kind, interior is open, bright and very welcoming. Location is only 6 mins from downtown so it's easy place to go before a dinner or after a beach day. Definitely come check them out! read more

You don't HAVE to be a Hoosier to get down at Sun King Sarasota but it sure feels nice to get a taste of home while on vacation and support the expansion. When I visited, I had a few hours to kill waiting for a fight back to IND so the family stopped in and played some Exploding Kittens with a couple of Momster Trucks before gassing the rental car up and heading back home agaaaaain. read more

Sun King is a great addition to the Sarasota brewery scene. They have excellent customer service and amazing beers.

Tried this newer brewery for the first time - really enjoyed the beer and the beer tender was especially attentive and welcoming - close proximity to orioles minor league field which is great during spring training read more

Nice place with good beer, but they do need fans for their outside seating. We would have stayed longer if we hadn't been so hot.
