10 Best Cocktail Bars near Vero Beach

“After living in Vero Beach for nearly 3 years I really REGRET not coming here sooner. The food is absolutely sublime! The atmosphere for a date night was just perfect. After a long day of preparation for Easter for 3 daughters we needed a moment for us, before the next days celebration. We had the back room to ourselves and it was just perfect. I just had to say, my husband loves to cook for me, especially short ribs and a beautiful brown sauce and he is amazing at it. Well, this blew him and I both away. Also, the skewers were something out of this world. There is an article about them in Vero Mag. This place is a secret we want to keep to ourselves but a place with this much talent is meant to be celebrated. Ohhh and the Short Rib Rangoons! Thank you curfew for giving to very busy parents a couple hours to just connect and enjoy a wonderful place. We cannot wait to come back again. We had Short Rib Rangoon, Bubbly Crab & Artichoke Dip, steak skewer, Deviled Eggs, & a main Short Rib, Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Vegetables, Curfew Gravy.“

“Filitys Bar – A Great Local Spot!

Filitys Bar is a fantastic local spot with great music, delicious food, and wonderful owners, Nick and Angela, who make everyone feel welcome!

There’s always something fun happening here. Sundays are perfect for football and Bloody Marys, Wednesdays feature a great jam night, Thursdays are all about karaoke with Courtney and great bartender , and Fridays and Saturdays bring in talented local bands.

And the food? The pizza is absolutely to die for!

What makes Filitys truly special is the atmosphere. It’s a place where people come together, meet new friends, and make lasting memories. We’ve celebrated weddings, birthdays, and so many other special occasions here.

All in all, Filitys is more than just a bar — it’s a true neighborhood gathering place with great people, great entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere. Nick and Angela have created something special, and it shows in the community that comes together here. Highly recommend! 🍕🎶🏈“

“As the name may suggest this bar is tucked away in an industrial park. I would say the patrons represent a mix of local folk. This is one of three local bars owned by the same purveyor. It leans down home during the day and some evenings but on the weekends it gets a little bit more hip hop. There's karaoke on Saturday nights, two pool tables, several arcade games, and music is ample and lively
P.S. No food sometimes chips are available for purchase.

Wheelchair accessibility: Completely accessible with some minor work.“

“Delicious authentic food and fantastic service! Portions are plenty big, we tried the flaming cheese, tenderloin kabob, and chicken thigh kabobs, all were phenomenal. We stopped by during our trip to Vero and enjoyed it immensely. We will be back!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Sweet Desires Dessert Lounge and the incredible owner, Brandy. On December 6th, I reached out about hosting a last-minute, private wedding reception for about 30 people. Exactly one week later, we were welcomed by the best group of people ever with the most beautiful setup and presentation I could have imagined. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that so much care and intention went into every single detail. The food was absolutely amazing — and not just delicious, but stunning. The Cucumber Blossom Garden Salad was fresh and creative, the Marry Me Chicken was rich and comforting, the Truffle Lobster & Crab Mac and Cheese was decadent, and the bone-in short rib was perfectly tender. Every bite, every plate, every detail was thoughtfully done. What truly stood out was the heart behind it all. Brandy went above and beyond to make the night feel special, seamless, and memorable. It wasn’t just a meal — it was an experience. If you’re looking for a place that delivers exceptional food, beautiful presentation, and genuine care, Sweet Desires Dessert Lounge is it. We are so grateful and will absolutely be back. 💛🥂“

“Friendly staff, amazing community minded owners and delicious craft cocktails!“

“How about just eating their food.“

“Its a beautiful restaurant, well decorated and well staffed. Everyone was pleasant and very accommodating. I was surprised at the prices being so reasonable with it being a Disney property and restaurant. That being said, I was disappointed with the food quality. The scrambled eggs tasted like something I would find at a buffet, very low quality and tasteless. The key lime waffles were also tasteless. What I found interesting is that the raspberry drizzle that they use on top seems to have dried berries instead of real fruit. Very disappointing considering there is not another breakfast spot around for miles so eating in is the only feasible option.“

“Polo Grill is our go to in Vero Beach. Outstanding steaks, incredible chops. Corey was our waiter and he was fantastic. Smoked old fashioned and lemon drop martini were spot on. We all had an excellent time and the food, service and attention to detail is unmatched. Thanks for another great evening.“

“Good food with reasonable prices and attentive service always!😍“
