I didn't even go inside. Just drove up to pick up someone who was too drunk to drive. Bouncer/security guy was cool though.

Awesome little dive rock bar with great, friendly and attentive service and cold drinks. I saw local band Hurl Brickbat who were outstanding and a lot of fun to watch. I really enjoyed myself. As is the case with many little dive bars, the craft beer selection is sparse, however all expected classic drink are available at an affordable price. I think I remember seeing food being available but I wasn't hungry so can't report on that.

Found this hidden gem a couple weekends ago! I almost drove right past it; the exterior is very unassuming, but as soon as the bouncer opens the door, you feel the chill, welcoming atmosphere. The bartender was sweet, attentive, and accommodating, and there was no shortage of good company and conversation. AND the East End Ghouls put on a freaking amazing show!! A true dive experience, I definitely recommend and will definitely visit again!

If you love small, low ceiling, dark hole in the wall spots with a good beer selection and good pub food then look no further, Empty Glass is your place. I go here every time I'm in town. Friendly staff and friendly patrons. I love the unique wing sauce they have, like a spicy marinara but even better than it sounds. Great live music venue.

I was there as a part of the singer songwriter showcase. It is wonderful to have a venue dedicated to original music. Everyone is super nice, great hospitality. The stage is beautiful. Fun place to hang out and meet up with old friends or meet new ones.Wheelchair accessibility: The venue itself is very accessible as far as getting into. I am not sure that the bathroom is accessible as it is small. Other than that the main area is easy to get around in.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a great time on my visit to empty class. Moved from Hollywood, FL to Melbourne last November and had not yet visited you're little tavern.. Some neighbors moved here, as well. So, it was off to the beach for us. I chose the glass mainly because I saw it first and we thought it looked like a cute neighborhood bar. We sat at a high 4-top and waited for our server. And waited and waited. She was the bartender(THE CUTIE WITH DA BOOTAY) and worked alone. The locals around the bar appeared to be well taken care of and having a good time. We got our Margarita and sweet tea about a half hour later, after going to the bar to get them. We got our "mediocre meal" about 40 minutes later. When I inquired about the food's location after about 20 minutes, I was told, in a very curt tone, that "He's alone back there you know". I certainly didn't know he was alone and frankly, the person doing scheduling should have been informed of this. Not me. Her salad was okay and my quesadilla was fair, but limited. She finally had to go to the bar to get the check and pay it.I assure you, Uncle and pa may be back if that cutie is working . Oh my

Nice venue for a good bar show. Relatively clean when I last went. They actually ID you, unlike a lot of local places (I appreciate that!)ALSO, the mild wings were the best wings I’ve had in ages.
