12 Best Beer Bars in Sarasota

“My dad and I went here while I was visiting and one of the waiters handing out different dishes named Ramon was fabulous. He was very funny, polite and overall gave wonderful service. This was my first time here and I’ll definitely be back!! The food was great, service and atmosphere were fantastic.“

“99 Bottles is one of those rare spots that gets everything right. The sandwiches and bagels are consistently fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. Their beer selection is surprisingly great, with options for every taste. What really sets this place apart, though, is the owner. He’s friendly, attentive, and creates an atmosphere that makes you want to return again and again. Easily one of my favorite local stops.“

“Captain Curt's Crab & Oyster Bar: Review Overview: During a visit to Siesta Beach, we made sure to stop at Captain Curt’s Crab & Oyster Bar. The establishment is notably spacious, featuring two large outdoor Tiki areas where guests can relax with a drink or enjoy a meal. One of the Tiki areas includes a stage for live music, enhancing the lively atmosphere. Surrounding the main restaurant is Captain Curt’s Village, which offers a gift shop and several other stores within easy walking distance. The restaurant itself is clean, well-organized, and provides a laid-back vibe that we thoroughly enjoyed. Parking: Parking can be a challenge, as spaces are limited. We were able to find free parking right beside the restaurant, but there are also lots nearby available for a small fee. Service and Drinks: Our waitress, Renee, provided excellent and friendly service. We ordered Pina Coladas, served in large Captain Curt’s keepsake cups. The drinks were enjoyable, but the alcohol tended to settle at the bottom, so it’s important to stir before drinking to avoid a strong first sip. Food Experience: We sampled the clam chowder, which is advertised as the “World’s Best Clam Chowder.” While it may not be the best in the world, we found it very tasty with plenty of clams. My Captain’s Platter consisted of boiled Tripletail Fish, Bay Scallops, Gulf Shrimp, Mashed Potatoes, and mixed Vegetables, all of which were good. The Clam Basket, served with fries and Cole Slaw, was also very good. Additionally, the fish and chips were enjoyable. All food was served hot and in generous portions, leaving us both full when we finished. Overall Impression: We appreciated the quality of the food, the drinks, and the relaxed atmosphere. Overall, we would rate Captain Curt’s Crab & Oyster Bar 4 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gulf Coast Terry“
