“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!“

“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!“

“Nick our server was excellent. I had the Beet and Blue with grilled salmon, so delicious. My hubby had the filet tacos and he really liked them. Both dishes were more than we could eat. Cocktails were well crafted also. We highly recommend The Rising Tide Tap & Table 👍👍👍👍“

“Just a all-around great place. The staff is amazing.“

“Yesterday my husband and I went with friends for an early dinner to celebrate Veterans Day. Chilis supplied a very nice free meal for our husbands. When we went to pay our bill, our waitress said some nice couple had already paid it for us...So nice that people still appreciate our veterans. Thanks so much to that generous couple, and thanks also to Chili's for appreciating our veterans.“
