21 Best Cocktail Bars near Cocoa

“If you love authentic, scratch Mexican food, you have to go to Milpa’s Tacos! We had some friends take us there Saturday and introduced us to Stassi and the crew there. The atmosphere and staff already make the place top notch, but the food and drinks are what send it over the top. I suggest letting Stassi recommend one of his custom agave drinks, getting a flight of the scratch made salsas and hot sauce along with some guacamole and queso to start. The fresh chips and made to order tortillas start the meal off perfectly. If you’re there on the weekend, do not pass up the Birria or you will regret it later once you see others eating it. Our table ordered a decent cross-section of the menu and everything was so flavorful and fresh. By far some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. From friendly, feels like home, staff, a relaxing and fun atmosphere, to amazing craft cocktails and the best scratch food you’ll find, what’s not to love! They have certainly created regulars out of us. We look forward to seeing you there soon as well!“

“I only wish that they had more food offerings; other than that, the drinks and spirits were exceptional. I highly recommend this distillery to all visiting the Cocoa Beach Cape Canaveral Area“

“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!“

“Marlene was a top notch waitress. She noticed when the kitchen did perform perfectly. She addressed the issue with professionalism. Appetizer, and entrees were well beyond expectations. Everything was priced very reasonable for the quality. Can't wait to return tomorrow.“

“Best kava bar in Florida. Amazing atmosphere and top of the line service. Everyone there is welcoming and hospitable. The friendliest people I’ve ever met.“

“Felicia the bartender was very nice and attentive to our every need. Made great recommendations, communication and was very funny! I loved the personal touches at the bar, lighting, nostalgia, beer selection & the food (burgers and fries) was off the chain. I thought the chilled drink runner (?) was the coolest thing ever!!! I will absolutely be back. My wife and I was VERY impressed and will MOST DEFINITELY be back!“

“First of all I must give a shout out to the servers supers job and the food was off the chain big thanks for good fresh food thanks again and I would tell everybody about this place and please keep on keeping on“

“Everything was amazing! I tried the fried sushi burrito and the crab Rangoon flautas and both were so fresh and full of flavor. The service was quick and the woman who helped me was so friendly. I live in Kissimmee and usually only come to this area for work, but I’ll definitely be going out of my way to come back. So worth it!“

“Best Margaritas in Brevard! So many great flavors. The guacamole appetizer pairs well and friendly staff makes the experience a great time.“

“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“

“Great server she was wonderful! Food was tasty and portions generous. We thought the prices were good. We will be back. Thank you for a great experience!“

“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 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Great bar staff and martinis!“

“Great place, suggest it to everyone! Great food, great staff, and great atmosphere! One of my favs, can ya tell?“

“This is a bar with a fairly limited food menu, but what they offer is pretty decent. I would definitely choose this place over the tiki bar across the street. One thing that really stood out was the live music. I was surprised to find a band playing on a weeknight, and they were covering a lot of older songs. I even uploaded a short video because it added so much to the atmosphere.

I ordered the wings, and they were surprisingly large. I tried a couple of the sauces on the side, which were okay, but I actually preferred the ranch. It was still nice to mix things up and add some extra flavor. The chili lime fries were decent, but they weren't my favorite item.

There was only one bartender working, and she was very busy, so I had to wait a while for my food. That said, she was friendly and did a great job handling everything on her own.

I actually ended up here by accident because I thought I was walking into Coconuts on the Beach, which is right behind this place. In the end, it was a pleasant surprise. It looked like they had some interesting specialty drinks, although I didn't try any. The atmosphere, especially with the live music, was the highlight of my visit and my favorite part of accidentally discovering this spot.“

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

“Our server, Savana, was great. She really did her best, but I think the service problem was with the kitchen. Appetizers came out quickly, tasted great and the portion sizes were good. 3 entrees came out after a 30 minute wait, but the other 4 took 45 minutes AFTER the first ones were served. Needless to say, the first 3 were finished before the rest of us got our entrees. We ordered dessert and that took another 30+ minutes for 2 slices of orange cake and 2 slices of key lime pie. Savanna mentioned she had to cut the cakes herself. There was one table of 2 when we arrived and 2 tables of 3 or 4 Which arrived after us and got served before us. If you're looking for food that is okay , Go visit, if you're looking for exceptional service.It probably should not be on the top of your list. Poutine was great, chicken casadilla was very good, ceasar salad Lettuce was a little old, bolognaise was good and the penne Alfredo was very good.“

“Great experience at Chili's! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. Jack provided outstanding service, was friendly, attentive, and always made sure we had everything we needed. His excellent customer service made an already great meal even better. Highly recommend!“
