9 Best Beer Bars near Cocoa Beach

“My family absolutely loves 4th Street! My now wife and I started going there a couple of years ago and fell in love with it to the point it is a must do every trip we take to Cocoa Beach and it ended up being where we held our wedding reception. I wouldn’t hesitate to have a larger event there again in the future!“

“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!“

“Chill spot, gret for beer and cider enthusiasts. Wish there was food but, the popcorn is a nice snack to enjoy with some good brews. Citra Cane IPA is a MUST try! Can't wait for peach cider to drop!
5 star staff, good vibes
I would definitely check it out if you are in the Cape Canaveral area.“

“Thai 4 You 3824 Murrell Rd., Rockledge, FL 32955 4 Stars With 59 years under my cyclopean belt, I've seen food phases come and go. Some last and eventually become part of the dining landscape, ie, Frozen Yogurt. Thai food has been around for a long time, but it seems to be getting a steroid shot in the keister as Thai joints are popping up with such frequency that you can often find them next to each other and across the street! More often than not, these are also hybrid eateries that serve Thai food and Sushi. I've reviewed more than a handful of these types of restaurants. It is not common to find one that is dedicated to only Thai food. Thai 4 You, corny name and all, is such a place. I was greeted warmly and seated immediately. Almost as soon as I sat down, Adam approached my table and informed me that he would be my waiter for the repast. Adam has a great personality and is a pro all the way. He is also the owner. I asked Adam for the Thai 4 You Special and some Chicken Green Curry (my Thai food test dish). Before too long, and again, I do time these things, Adam returned with our Thai fare. The aromas caressing my olfactory nerve made it difficult for me to snap the before pictures, as all I wanted to do was scarf down. However, like Adam, I too am a professional and was here for a job, not to stuff my pie hole. As you can see, everything looks delicious; now, let's see if the looks are deceiving. My first taste was of Adam's Thai 4 You Special. This is a delectable dish of stir-fried shrimp and beef tossed with a special house Thai sauce, served over a pile of mixed vegetables. The shrimp was juicy and tender, the beef was cooked to perfection and the veggies were delicious. All in all, this was a better-than-average representation of Thai cuisine. Truly tasty on the tastebuds. While the Green Curry sauce was not as creamy as I usually receive in other Thai places, the flavors were definitely popping on the taste buds and far above average. I found the chicken to be tender and succulent, while the veggies were cooked to perfection once again. Whoever was operating the wok in the back certainly knew what they were doing. It was obvious that they didn't just wok in off the street. Thai food is known for its spectacular flavor combinations, which often feature a balance of sweet and tongue-blasting hot. Unlike other spicy foods, one never loses the taste to the spice. Adam served up a prime example of this. I found the Green Curry to hit the palate with heat and flavor. I do love me some good Thai food! The Big Boy says, “It's better than your average Thai slop house and if I were in Rockledge hankering for some Thai food, I would make a beeline to Thai 4 You.”“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Great for parties and get togethers.“

“Yesterday we went to Tip a Few 2 in Cape Canaveral on A1A (maybe cocoa beach? It’s kinda close to the line) anyway.. we’ve been there a handful of times and every single time it’s a fantastic experience. We usually go early in the afternoon. Amy is always there and she is just the sweetest! She’s completely awesome, entertaining, friendly, fast, efficient & she can work a bar! We usually just go for a beer or two but today we were a bit hungry so we both ordered the “veggie burger” they use the Beyond burger and it comes on this giant bun that they dry toast beautifully and they pack it with lettuce, tomato, onion & shredded lettuce. This burger is seriously amazing, AND can you see the crunch on these fries?! They’re perfect!!!! I was super happy when I saw a plant based option on the menu and super stoked when I got a beyond burger! (They’re my favorite) the prices were more than fair, the service is awesome and the place has good ambience. It’s a little divey, but kinda upscale divey if that makes sense. Hands down winner in my book!“

“Very casual vibe to the place. We sat at the bar. I was super excited to see Buzztime trivia. The servers were attentive yet not overly in your face. I got the buffalo wings and my goodness they were lit!🔥 The smoke flavor combined with the sauce was incredible. Yes, they actually smoke meat. Had a great chat with one of the owners, he was very personable and his excitement for what he’s doing was apparent. Husband really enjoyed the brisket pizza. The only downside is that it’s not closer to my house or this would be my local hangout. Recommended if in the area!“

“Wow! Being a vegan, I was pleasantly surprised with their bean burger. I thought it was going to be one of those flat frozen ones that other restaurants use. Nope! Hubba hubba, they make their own and it was deliciouso! I had the Mauna Loa without cheese and aioli. I bugged them, I'm sure, asking so many questions, is this vegan, is that vegan. The sweet potato puffs were sweet and crunchy. Just wished they had the avocado fries. Can't wait to go back! My poor friends will be dragged there!“

“The portions were huge, and food was delicious. But customer service was fantastic. I have 4 young kids including a rambunctious 2 year old who’s currently refusing to sit still and eat. The waitress was so accommodating with him and brought us slices of cheese and then mandarin oranges to try and get him to eat something. There was an issue with the computer and my card was charged twice. I contacted them via Facebook and the issue was resolved immediately. Definitely recommend giving them a try!“
