“Hands Down the Best Neighborhood Spot: Neighbor’s Beer and Wine
If you want a place that feels like home with a heartbeat of genuine warmth, look no further than Neighbor’s Beer and Wine. From the moment I walked in on Derby Day, the energy was electric — hats, laughter, and a crowd that truly knows how to celebrate community.
The owners, Bill and Natalie, are nothing short of spectacular. They don’t just run a bar; they cultivate a neighborhood sanctuary where everyone feels welcome, appreciated, and part of something real. Their friendliness and personal touch shine through in every corner of the place — from Cheryl’s attentive bartending to Heidi’s legendary hot dogs outside, this team knows how to make an impression.
Under their stewardship, the space has transformed into a brighter, more inviting hub, balancing tradition with fresh new energy. The non-smoking policy inside makes it comfortable for everyone, while the outdoor seating ensures no one’s left out. Whether it’s watching football, throwing darts, or rocking the Kentucky Derby hats, this is where memories are made.
If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of Englewood’s best-kept secrets. This isn’t just a bar; it’s a community experience crafted with heart. You’ll leave feeling like family — and believe me, you’ll be coming back for more.
I can't wait to go back“

“Great spot to chill! Music, friends, drinks, food. Alongside a cove along the intracoastal waterway in Englewood/Grove City. Wonderful hidden gem. The owners have done a great job rebuilding TWICE from storms - go support local!!!! You can get boat rentals there as well.“
“Heard about this place and thought we'd stop by. Went in about three steps and knew right away we didn't want to take a seat. People were so crowded together it was like being in an elevator. Maybe they all knew each other? A couple invited us to sit with them. Where, on their laps? Five stars for friendliness.“

“Being from the Newengland area and have traveled the world I have always gravitated toward a restaurant like Cheers! Jim and his professional team has created an amazing environment with extremely delicious appetizers and entrees in that fashion. The beer is cold, the wine is quality and the cocktails are made to perfection. With chef Josh in the kitchen the presentation and taste of every entree is priceless. Regardless if you live here in beautiful Venice or visiting our lovely community Sands comes highly recommend from me and my family and friends!
Cheers!

“This is exactly what you hope to find in a Florida waterview restaurant, great view and vibe! We split a grouper sandwich, and got the coleslaw. The sandwich was terrific, but the coleslaw is mind blowing! We also got the key lime pie. I’d get all of it again! Hoping our next visit will be by boat!“

“We love all the Tequila resturants ...Blue...Pink...Lime and now the Venice Pineapple Tequila that recently opened. We went to dinner tonight with friends there and had a great meal. We had about a 30 minute wait but well worth the wait time. Our server Yalitzaly was wonderful...she was super friendly and did a phenomenal job taking care and serving us. She was very experienced and accommodating ....I would say she is a super good valuble employee that cares about the resturants customers. Thanks Yalitzaly for making our night enjoyable and the desert was awesome ! Rap & Mary Peavy“
