    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Good customer service, friendly bar staff. Lots of styles on tap. Small taproom but good seating for small and large groups. Walking distance to Ed Smith Stadium.

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

    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.

The outdoor bar was appreciated! This is an order-at-the-bar spot with food runners. It wasn't terribly busy while we were here,, so there was no wait for service -- always a plus! My husband ordered a Hi Neighbor beer (owners are from Rhode Island, so this seems to have been loosely based on Narragansett lager? Not terribly close in taste but a nice hoppiness to it). I had a flight, as I like to sample several when I try a new joint. I really liked the variety of types. We split a pretzel and a sandwich. Both were very tasty, and the food came out hot and fresh quickly. The bartender/food runners were very friendly! We had a great time hanging out here on a Saturday afternoon, we'll be back when we're nearby again for sure!

The place was busy on a Sunday night at 6 pm. We were able to get a couple of seats at the bar. Service was excellent the entire time. Multiple bartenders checked on us to make sure we had everything we wanted. Pretty much all of their beers are above average. The highlights for me: Hop Radio, Tropicat, Juice Break, and Jetty Rat. If you're a beer connoisseur, you will be happy you came here. The food is great. I tried the Bridge Burger and the Chicken Dippers. Both were excellent. All of their burgers are smash burgers. The menu consists of sandwiches, burgers, shareable, and flatbreads. I would love to try more of the menu after this experience. This was an exciting experience at a brewery new to me and I can't wait to return to try more food and beer. They have a board listing "on deck" beers so we know they are rotating their list. They also have events like trivia, bingo, open mic etc that can keep each visit interesting.

We came here one night for drinks and after seeing the menu knew we had to come back for a meal. The food looked so amazing and it was very hard to choose which option to go with. For the app we had the crab Rangoon dip and the Midwesterner in me was missing my cheese so we also had the Wisconsin cheese curds. The cheese curds were pretty classic and the Parmesan cheese on top added a nice twist. The crab dip... I'm drooling just thinking about it. If you like crab you need to get that app. For the meal, I had the Surf and Turf with coconut shrimp. Sweet Mary was I glad I did. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the coconut shrimp with spicy Thai sauce was so good. The shrimp had the perfect crunch while the shrimp themselves were tender. They also have a wide variety of drinks and beers which was nice to try some new things. I do also want to do a shout out to Robert who was our waiter. He was phenomenal! Orders perfectly taken, he was polite yet had some fun and laughs with us, and was very patient when a couple people in our group were "picky" eaters. While he had several tables he was serving he was always right there if he noticed our waters or drinks being close to empty. Food will make people talk, but food and service will bring people back. The food was top notch and the service was some of the best in town. I'll admit, we were hungry and I forgot pictures of the actual food... the desserts (S'Mores Brownie Sundae and the Key Like Pie) were also amazing.

There was a section with some toys to entertain kids which was a nice touch! Service was good and it wasn't super busy when we got there as it was after the lunch rush. Our table ordered a lot of different dishes. We got the bang bang shrimp, which was delicious and probably the highlight of the meal. I got a lobster roll with fries for my entree and it was okay. There was a ton of lettuce on it, which I was not a fan of and the bun split very easily. I ended up just eating the lobster straight off the plate. Definitely not worth the price in my opinion. I'd go with something else. My girlfriend got the Lobster Alfredo and it was not good. The pasta was super doughy and overcooked. The Alfredo sauce itself didn't have a lot flavor either. The whole thing was just not good and once again not worth the price. Our niece got butter noodles and they were the same way. Overcooked and tasted like they'd been sitting in water or something. She didn't eat it. I would skip the pasta entrees. The other item we were disappointed with was the Crab Rangoon dip. It had a fishy tang to it that we weren't a fan of. Someone in our group got the tacos for taco Tuesday and said they were good. Chicken tenders were also yummy. Overall, we had an okay experience. If we came back, we'd go with different items on the menu for sure.

The restaurant is located behind the German club on 66th Street, a second business in the German club parking lot! Apparently, the family that has his place is from Maine and they got a lot of success brewing beer. That's success led them to start the restaurant serving seafood from a family business in Maine. We started off with a bowl of New England clam chowder and a dozen oysters. To what are whistles we got a glass of their tap Chardonnay and a beer. My wife's Chardonnay was ridiculously good! But nothing could beat those oysters - sweet with a little bit of brine, and very fresh. For dinner we got a lobster roll - they come hot or cold, with the hot coming with melted butter. We also got the fried haddock roll.... Wow! Both were fantastic! I know we overdid it with dinner.... We even got an order of the whole belly clams. I didn't think anyone in Florida served those down here! Absolutely ridiculous . In short, we had fantastic dinner and terrific beverages. I really recommend you at least try to find the place - we almost didn't go in because of its awkward location and the fact that no cars were outside. We saw the place was open and decided to have a appetizer because the Yelp review was so strong, and I'm glad we did! I told the two people there they should park their cars nearby so patrons would see them..... Anyway, I'm going back again, but this time I'm bringing friends!
