Warm inviting atmosphere, super stellar bartender/mixologist and wait staff, phenomenal cocktail creations and yummy small bites.

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!“

“Rebellion Beachside: A Coastal Culinary Revelation If you're searching for a dining experience that transcends the ordinary and dives headfirst into the extraordinary, look no further than Rebellion Beachside. From the moment you step into this gem, you're swept into a world where phenomenal food, impeccable service, and an effortlessly chic atmosphere collide in the most unforgettable way. Let’s start with the food—out of this world. Every dish is a masterclass in flavor, balance, and creativity. Whether it’s fresh seafood kissed by fire and perfectly seasoned, or inventive takes on classic comfort fare, each bite is a celebration of bold culinary vision. The ingredients are clearly top-notch, the presentation is stunning, and the taste? Nothing short of divine. Try the pork chop, trust me! But, every dish is a star in its own right. As for the service, it’s the kind that makes you feel like the only table in the house—attentive without hovering, warm without being overly familiar, and incredibly knowledgeable. The staff anticipate your needs before you even realize them, making the entire experience feel seamless and relaxed. The ambiance strikes that perfect balance between laid-back beach vibes and upscale sophistication. Think ocean breezes, ambient lighting, and the sound of waves meeting laughter and clinking glasses. Rebellion Beachside isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory in the making. An absolute standout on the coast, and hands down one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in years. Five stars aren’t enough.“

“Aqua Lounge is hands down one of the best hookah spots I’ve been to in Cocoa. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by the beautiful décor ,classy, modern, and perfect for a chill night out or celebrating with friends. The vibe is on point with mood lighting and plush seating that makes you want to stay all night.

The entertainment is what really sets this place apart. Whether it’s live DJs, themed nights, or special events, there’s always something going on to keep the energy flowing. The music selection is always fire, a great mix that keeps the crowd moving but still lets you relax and vibe with your hookah.

Speaking of hookah, the flavors are top-tier, smooth, and always fresh. The staff is super friendly and attentive, making sure your coals stay hot and your experience is 10/10.

If you’re in the Cocoa area and looking for a lounge with great atmosphere, music, and service, Aqua Lounge is the spot. Highly recommend ✨“

“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.“
