“Refreshingly low-key, authentic bar. Too many places in Cocoa Beach have you paying higher prices for unnecessary upscale decor and finishings. You won't find that here. And as a bonus they had a great live band playing punk rock classics (brain eaters).“

“Stopped in from our cruise stop and had an amazing experience at this bar. They allowed our husbands to smoke their cigars in their outside area. They also had a great band! Tiffany was the best bartender, remembered us and our order each visit, was friendly and funny! Can’t wait to return! Thank you for making our trip enjoyable!“

“After an incredible day soaking up the sun and enjoying the waves at the beach, we were ready to unwind and treat ourselves to some well-deserved refreshments. That’s when we stumbled upon Tropics Cocktail Bar, and what a delightful discovery it turned out to be! As we stepped inside, the vibrant atmosphere immediately enveloped us, setting the perfect tone for an evening of relaxation and indulgence.

Our server, Nicole, was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and engaging conversation that made us feel right at home. Her recommendations were spot-on, showcasing her extensive knowledge of the menu. She suggested we try their signature Filipino chesestic, and I can honestly say it was one of the best culinary decisions we've ever made. Each bite was a heavenly experience, the cheese delightfully melting in our mouths, creating a rich and savory sensation that left us wanting more.

But the culinary adventure didn’t stop there! Next up were the chili lime fries, which were a glorious blend of zesty, salty, and spicy flavors. The seasoning was just perfect, the tang of lime paired wonderfully with the heat from the chili, elevating these fries to a whole new level of deliciousness. We couldn’t get enough, and we found ourselves reminiscing about our beach day while indulging in these delightful snacks.

To make the evening even more special, we decided to sample the Baller whiskey. It may not be a traditional Japanese whiskey, it is beautifully Japanese-inspired and aged in authentic Japanese casks. This unique finishing process imparted a smoothness and complexity that was simply divine. Each sip felt like a mini celebration, and we enjoyed the playful garnish of eyes added by the staff, whimsically scattered around the bar, adding a touch of fun to the experience.

As the night wore on, we found ourselves completely immersed in the atmosphere of the bar, the laughter, the music, and the exquisite drinks all combined to create an unforgettable experience. We left Tropics Cocktail Bar with big smiles on our faces and memories etched in our minds, feeling grateful for the wonderful staff, especially Nicole, who made our evening so memorable. If you're looking for a place to unwind and enjoy fantastic food and drink, I cannot recommend this bar enough!“

“Great location on the beach. We had a drink while waiting for our table at Coconuts on the Beach right next door.“

“Absolutely a great spot! Great atmosphere! And the crowds for the live music are great! Had a great show there this past weekend and would love to do another awesome show. Cameron on sound killed it! It’s a great place in general! Thanks for supporting the local music scene 🤘🏻“
