25 Best Bars in Vero Beach

“🧜‍♀️✨ Raving Recommendation: The Kilted Mermaid ✨🧜‍♀️ If you’re looking for a place that actually embodies community, inclusivity, good vibes, and zero tolerance for bigotry — get yourself to The Kilted Mermaid in Vero Beach. 🌈🍻 This isn’t just a bar. It’s a safe haven, a local treasure, and a technicolor rebellion against hate in heels and a kilt. Drag shows? Yes. Live music? Yes. Eclectic art? Yes. Raging moral panic? Not welcome. While certain folks (cough Jennifer Pippin cough) are busy pearl-clutching and falsely accusing Kilted Mermaid of corrupting the youth, the rest of us are having a blast supporting small business, celebrating queer joy, and drinking craft beer with glitter in our souls. 💃 The performances are electric. 🧀 The food? Next-level grilled cheese. 🎭 The crowd? Diverse, friendly, and fiercely supportive. The Kilted Mermaid is what Florida should be — weird, welcoming, and full of heart. So whether you’re there for drag brunch, live jazz, or just to stick it to the pearl-clutching hypocrisy machine — we fully recommend it, fruit and all. 🍓🫐🍊 #FloridaFruitLoopApproved #KiltedMermaidMagic #SupportLocalLoveLoud #SatireSassAndSunshine #DragIsNotTheDanger #GoodVibesOnlyVero“

“Best firecracker shrimp I've had....the batter was crispy and shrimp was cooked excellenty...even creamy....the fish and chips is cod, this chef knows his cuisine with seafood/fish...coleslaw, fries and tartar spot on....worth a visit again...highly recommended and I don't say this lightly....“

“Great place to sit back and relax, mingle and an ample selection of wines. Very friendly atmosphere and reminds me of Cheers as everyone knows your name and new connections are easily made.“

“Nice bar, good atmosphere. Big Troy is a legend.“

“This small bar punches above its weight! My friend and I came in on a Wednesday night with little to no expectations - just wanted a couple of quiet cocktails and weren’t prepared for how much fun we were going to have!

No pretentiousness, just a great bartender who was chatty with some awesome stories - a great mix of people, and even a couple of dogs. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Seeing a lot of reviews calling it a dive bar - I’d say there are some dive bar aesthetics for sure, but this place is in great shape and attracts a pretty diverse crowd. Great times and will for sure be back.“

“Best bartenders and nice owner ! So fun! Allows cute dogs in the bar ❤️ no pizza though 🤭“

“We had Your Barmate host at our two wedding receptions. The morning was a little bit slower with about 15 family members but they all loved our bartender Antonio. I think they even invited him over to their house! He made sure to say goodbye to everyone individually at the end. He came back later that evening to do a bigger party of about 50. He kept up with the crowds, made his own drink specials, and everyone absolutely loved him there, too! Shawn has been so easy to communicate with as I’ve changed my plans a few times and she’s been committed through it all! They have an awesome set up, too. We will definitely use them again for another big event!“

“Ronda is amazing! The outside patio is great but there’s a gentleman named Spinelli who tends to stare at women’s boyfriends and offer back and foot massages in the men’s bathroom usually after 12. Magical hands pretty mouth. Would recommend. I give this place a good ole Roman salute full of entertainment after pay day. Everyone should come here and go bananas“

“Dom's Bar was the destination for a night cap after some exploring in Vero, and what a cool vibe! Cheap drinks, loud customers (not in a bad way - everyone was just enjoying themselves), and good tunes. Super eclectic mix of clientele, and I can easily say that this is probably the only time I've ever seen a dog legitimately sitting at the bar ready to be served. The good boy (or good girl) didn't seem to mind that I snapped a pic - and for that I'm grateful.

Definitely a Road House feel to it - and has the decor to match.

Parking: It's in a strip mall off of Old Dixie - very easy to park here.“

“Rowdy Rooster absolutely crushed it. The food was so good please get the chicken parmesan sandwich and definitely order a side of marinara, it’s honestly fire.

The bartender was amazing and I feel like a total POS for forgetting her name because she made the whole experience phenomenal. I’m serious top-tier service. This was April 15th at night, so whoever was behind the bar deserves some real kudos.

Also… the two “antelope” at the bar had me dying 😂 Not sure if they’re supposed to be antelope or giraffes, but either way they’re hilarious.

I highly recommend this place and I mean highly.“

“friendly, and knowledgeable.
Very reasonably priced.
The atmosphere was very chill.
I definitely recommend and I will definitely be back. I'm excited to see what they're going to add to this wonderful space. We will definitely be coming back to this awesome place 😁.
Thank you 👍💯
I highly recommend this place.“

“The Green Cabin Room is a small bar on the second floor off the lobby of Disney's Vero Beach Resort. It has a loyal following. For our April 2024 visit, the bar opened at 5PM. There was a line, but we easily got seating. There's tables, bar seating, high tops, and outdoor seating on an oceanview balcony. Standard Disney Resorts bar menu, full bar, and specialty drinks are available. Friendly service. Amazing views! There is trivia and mixology classes offered, too! Highly recommended!“

“Met some of the family that owns this fantastic restaurant on Saturday night. We had a date night and dinner at the intimate small bar with Cullen (bartender). We started by sharing a bowl of Sebastian Stew one of their all-time favorite most popular dishes. Then hubby had a bacon burger and I had the stacked delicious pork sandwich with bacon, coleslaw & much more. I tried the collaboration beer made by Dogfish (Grateful Dead pale ale) which was on tap. Hubby had bottled Coors light. Bartender very friendly and attentive and proud of his family restaurant- Rightly so!! Highly recommend…“

“Best Mexican restaurant in Vero Beach. Great food… Great service… and a Great Bartenders“

“I ate there last night on recommendation from y’all on another post. And it definitely did not disappoint!! Had the fisherman’s basket so I would get a taste of a few of their items. Oh! My! Goodness! Scallops cooked to perfection, shrimp cooked to perfection (very, very lightly breaded) and don’t even start regarding the fried oysters, melt in your mouth awesomeness!! Fish and the fries were amazing as well!! Awesome spot!!“

“no matter how many times we go to Armanis , everytime it gets better and better . They put so much attention to the finer things down to the quality of ingredients they are using which alot of places dont do anymore . everything is top notch , the sauces are amazing , pizza off the charts , pasta dishes like your grand mammy made but 10 times better. Thier wait staff is all amazing, there's a reason why they have all worked there for so long . that speaks volumes. your always treated like family in this place and thats a huge plus . Armanis is a 200 out of 100. always on point and honestly I dont even see how there could be any bad reviews on them . probably some chicken nugget eaters . . love love love armanis“

“I hosted a Birthday Luncheon at the Green Marlin Restaurant recently, and I was totally impressed at how caring and accommodating all of the staff were. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, and spacious. Jenna, the hostess was wonderful!! And, we appreciated her offer of additional tables for our use, if needed ( and they certainly were). Our waitress, Cat, was very very friendly and attentive. She catered to us like we were royalty. Our food came out amazingly fast, and i must say, everyone raved about the food they were served. My Mahi was moist and fresh, the grouper was excellent, and the quesadilla's were mouthwatering. And, all the portions were more than satisfactory. We were a festive group and the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy our celebration. A Big Thank You To The Green Marlin For A Job Well Done.“

“Recomiendo a Chili’s Dear bar las hamburguesas y el McChicken está muy bueno y no se diga las papas“

“Class facility....great menu with delicious food....very kind staff“

“Typical brunch menu offerings but very well done. I cannot recall our server's name, but she was funny and engaging.

Even if the food had been bad or service had been poor, watching the waves crash the beach while eating was amazing. We most definitely will return.“

“The music is always fun and it's great people watching!!!“

“My husband got me a spa day for mother's day. Massage, sauna, salt therapy.... It was perfect! After I went to the pool and had Dylan as my server. What a great guy! Funny, caring and professional! He even worked with my husband to have a bottle of champagne sent to us! Excellent service!“

“Cuban owned by the famous Estefan's of Miami. Parking limited, so had to valet. Resort / Restaurant had a nice ambience and dinner was fine, grilled chicken and grilled salmon. Strange thing was our waiter had never heard of Yuca Frita and no Cuban Expresso available at the end of my meal 😠. I think they've lost a bit of Cuban Tradition, but it maybe what sells in Vero Beach 😎“

“Great food, view, and beverages“
