6 Best Cocktail Bars near Cocoa Beach

“I was very pleasantly surprised at Waves Craft. We took out a group of 10 with us as new clients if ours and the atmosphere was perfect. Not quiet, but an active venue complete with a really well complemented bar for pre-dinner cocktails. Great dark lighting to better the atmosphere as well. The service was excellent, and the food was really too shelf for central FL. I was also very pleasantly surprised at the entire Hilton Hotel the restaurant is located in. It was every bit as advertised. A full four stars as it was rated and it was definitely at the higher end of the hotel spectrum in Brevard County. I highly recommend both! Who knew?“

“Great happy hour, classy cocktail bar. Great, friendly mixologists Fantastic outdoor patio with music. Our 3x's a week spot when we visit Cocoa Beach. If ya haven 't, ya must!“

“We just had another amazing meal at Rebellion Beachside Bar. My husband and I actually intended on trying out their Italian menu but, didn’t think about the fact that they were only serving brunch at that time. Didn’t matter though because we love their brunch. Paris was behind the bar today — our resident cocktail wizard (definitely not a mixologist 😉) — friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable as always. As I was trying to decide what to order I mentioned that I was disappointed there were no donuts at the coffee shop we went to earlier. Paris made a wonderful suggestion to try the French Toast and bacon (something savory and sweet). This was a great suggestion and so good!! There was soooo much bacon I had to take some to go. lol. The star of the meal though came from my husband’s order which came with rosemary-infused grits. It was incredible! Creamy, savory, and so fragrant. It was a combination I had never heard of or had before. Everything we ordered was wonderful, but those grits were the clear standout. Even though they were already busy behind the scenes prepping for the evening service, we never felt rushed or overlooked. From BOH to front, we were so well taken care of. You can genuinely feel the camaraderie among the staff. They are all always so happy. The owners are so gracious and always make it a point to come out and say hello. Today, they and the kitchen staff even surprised us with a special treat — such a thoughtful gesture. Paris — thank you for chatting with us today and for teaching us everything we never knew we didn’t want to know about curling.😉. lol. Another perfect visit. This is why we keep coming back. In fact.. we will be seeing you next week for dinner! 🍽️ 😊“

“We took friends here when they came to visit from up north and we had a great time. The live music was fun and engaging. Everybody enjoyed their food and the drinks as well. It’s a cool local spot right in downtown Cocoa Beach. Highly recommend 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I came to mimis mimosas located in Destination Downtown while visiting and the service was amazing. We got a full rundown of the menus and how to work the kiosks. We were talking our life away lol but we loved the comversation as well as the $2.49 mimosas for happy hours. 10/10“

“Nice addition to the beach complex where Minuteman Causeway meets the beach! Nice selection of beer, on tap and bottled/canned, seltzers, and, of course, tiki-inspired cocktails + a nice Hawaiian(ish) tapas menu. Great place for pau hana in DT Cocoa Beach!“
