Cocktail Bars near Cocoa Beach

“Had dinner at Waves with friends after going to the beach at nearby Lori Wilson park. We arrived very early so we had happy hour drinks at the Tiki bar overlooking the ocean. Great service and a very friendly bartender. Our dinners at Waves were great. The rock shrimp flatbread was fantastic, and the scallops were presented quite artistically and the were superb.“

“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!“

“Not a single disappointment! About 90 degrees out a little breeze so Visited coca beach for just a quick minute, walked up the ramp and spotted the daiquiri bar. The staff was so polite and funny. We ordered two 30oz frozen daiquiri a strawberry and a Pina colda. They were about 20.00 each and when I say one did the trick that's all u will need.“

“⚜️Review of the Plates from Cocoa Beach Pier Restaurant:

⚜️Fried Shrimp Lo Mein Bowl:
This dish features a bowl of lo mein noodles topped with fried shrimp, drizzled with a creamy sauce, and sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds. The shrimp looks crispy and well-seasoned, providing a satisfying crunch with each bite. The lo mein noodles are paired with fresh vegetables like julienned cucumbers, carrots, and a side of kimchi, adding a fresh, tangy element to the dish. The combination of crispy shrimp with the soft noodles and crisp veggies creates a balanced and flavorful experience. This bowl is an excellent choice for those who enjoy a mix of textures and flavors with an Asian-inspired twist.
⚜️Burger with Curly Fries:
The second plate features a classic cheeseburger with bacon, served alongside seasoned curly fries. The burger is topped with melted cheese and crispy bacon, which adds a smoky and savory element. The soft burger bun contrasts nicely with the crunchy bacon and juicy patty. The curly fries are perfectly seasoned and look crispy, accompanied by a dipping sauce that complements the fries well. This dish is a go-to option for someone looking for a hearty and classic American meal.

“This is a can’t miss establishment! If you are in Cape Canaveral for any reason, plan to stop in! Warm inviting atmosphere, super stellar bartender/mixologist and wait staff, phenomenal cocktail creations and yummy small bites. Allison (mixologist) came to our table to ask specifics on what we like and literally crafted our cocktails to our taste. We even met the owner (Ronny) who came table side to talk to us when he noticed we were visiting from his hometown. Stop in, you won’t regret it!“
