This bar is on the Cocoa beach pier with Marlin, Mai Tiki Bar, and Oh shucks. It is essentially in the middle of the pier. It has a small bar and seating area that is covered but open on one side to the beach. We went here a couple of times for happy hour during our little spring break vacation. Just like Mai Tiki and Oh Shucks, the mixed drinks are not very good and a little overpriced. The beer is super cheap, specially during happy hour when the beer is dirt cheap. We typically went during happy hour between 4-7pm. Ultimately it is a great bar, it is not a good restaurant though. The food, much like most of Cocoa Beach, is not very good. It is somewhat simple bar food. Alot of seafood options. But, the seafood seamed to be pre breaded, frozen, and fried seafood.
Review Source:I agree the pier experience enhances the visit to this cafe/bar (the cafe and bar are combined and we went to the cafe on this visit). Â The cafe is on the pier and you are literally sitting over the ocean on an amazing old wooden pier that feels more like a sailing ship than anything else. Â This is not the sanitized, updated piers that are found on the Gulf side, it is a wooden colossus holdover from another era that is just hanging in there.
Having said that, the food at the cafe was ok. Â We had the garden burgers with seasoned fries and they were average, but this is more like pub food in a really cool pub than anything else. Â If you are going to Cocoa Beach this is definitely worth a visit.
If you are eating here it's likely you have already paid $10 to park and are either a tourist or a local soaking up some sun & you don't want to walk very far to eat.
This place definitely has a great view of the beach but the "great" stops there. The food was just ok as was the service.
The Rum Runner I had was terrible. Also, note the area of the menu for specialty drinks lists no prices & "non-returnable" so if you don't like it... tough sh@t!
I later found out my drink was $8
If you're starving, go ahead and grab some grub but avoid the specialty drinks and stick to the beer.
What could be better than sitting on a pier right over the shoreline, enjoying a cold Corona and listening to a cover band play classic rock? If this place was back at home, I would be a regular. The Boardwalk Bar really hit the spot after a long day, and this seemed to be the place to just chill and watch the sunset. I ate some coconut beer battered gulf shrimp with orange marmalade and their house salad. The salad was standard, but OH those shrimp! Big, plump and delicious, I had never had such good tasting shrimp in my life. I'm not a big shrimp fan, but these shrimp are making me reconsider. The coconut wasn't too overpowering. The marmalade was a bit too much sweetness to handle. I'm craving some shrimp right now as I type this...
Free parking, btw.
