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.“

“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.“

“I forgot to take a picture of the slice of pizza but it was big and oh so good. The two drink I had were excellent as well. Old fashion and a whiskey jam drink that was oh so good as well. Very good place will definitely return once a year on vacation.“

“Flames is, without question, my favorite restaurant in Vero Beach. If you appreciate elevated Mediterranean cuisine with bold, unique flavors, this place is in a league of its own.

Every dish is beautifully presented and packed with fresh, vibrant ingredients that you simply won't find at most restaurants in the area. It's the kind of place that feels both sophisticated and welcoming—perfect for a date night, celebration, or just an incredible meal.

What really sets Flames apart, though, is the service. The staff is genuinely warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, making every visit feel personal. They strike that rare balance of being professional without being pretentious, and they consistently go above and beyond to make the experience exceptional.

Vero Beach has some great restaurants, but Flames continues to raise the bar. If you're looking for a chic atmosphere, unforgettable Mediterranean flavors, and outstanding hospitality, this is the place.“

“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. 💛🥂“
