Thank you for an AMAZING night! You folks get it! You understand great food and great service! I went on Tuesday and enjoyed a wonderful introduction to your cheese fondue. Tonight we went to dinner at the place next door to you. We had such horrible service that I was sure our evening was ruined. We decided to go see you and just have dessert. We were not disappointed. The service was extraordinary! Your ladies bent over backwards to make our evening fun and pleasant. We were also pleasantly surprised to find it was Thursday Night Trivia! What fun! Thanks for a great time! On Tuesday I was there with one other person and tonight I went with three others. Yup...doubled the size of our party. Next week? Maybe even more! You bet I will be bragging about you!
Review Source:Great atmosphere. Feels straight out of Sliver Lake, Los Angeles?
Amazing drink list. Great beers. Cool staff.
Maybe don't eat there though? The brisket on the brisket sandwich was a little skimpy and chewy, and came slathered with mayo (not my fave). It was recommended as the best thing on the menu by one of the waitstaff.
Fun local scene. A must-visit if you're spending the night in Vero Beach. And it ain't touristy, that's for sure.
By far the best place in the area to discover a new beer or wine and enjoy a nice cheese board or other interesting gastro pub-style dish. The drafts are ever changing and the bottles of both beer and wine cover every palate imaginable. You'll see the owners coming around greeting the guests and you can just feel that the place is loved. The weekends always have different live bands and the bar gets loud and busy. Wednesdays are open-mic night and it's a bit quieter if you'd like to go and have a conversation. Try the Ribbonwood sauv blanc! just tried it for the first time. It's fruity on the nose and dry to taste, very nice and refreshing. Go Kilted!
Review Source:The Kilted Mermaid receives our highest level of praise in that it's the only place in Vero that we refer to as "our spot". They are a healthy mix of a West Village gastropub and a Midtown wine bar with just enough Florida beach town flair to keep the tourists happy. The atmosphere is dark and vibrant, like a British pub meets an art gallery. This is one of those great places where it would be perfectly acceptable to see someone in shorts and sandals sitting at the bar next to a couple in a cocktail dress and suit. Â WE LOVE THIS PLACE! On your first visit, you will be treated like family. On your second visit, they will know your name. Hundreds of beers and wines in bottles and a well curated set of rotating taps to appeal to all palates. Their food is a mix of tapas style small plates, excellent sandwiches, and updated versions of the seventies classic fondue. The only thing better than the food and spirits at Kilted Mermaid is the service. Every person who works there can explain to you, in great detail, the nuance of every dish on the menu and every beer and wine in the house. The owners, Rick and Linda, are always present and always available to ensure you have an unforgettable time. If you have lived in Vero or are just visiting and do not visit Kilted Mermaid at least one, you are missing one of the true gems of our little town.
Review Source:This really is as good as it gets for Vero. The decor is adorable - it would be an amazing bar in Chicago or NYC or any other big city. The food is quite good but service can be hit or miss it seems. The tree branch with lights stretching out from the bar over the dining area and adorned with Indonesian figures was one of my favorite parts. I can't wait to come back to Vero in the summer and sit out on their new patio!
I recommend the Gorgonzola crab fondue. It sounds bizarre but is really delicious. They also have a great selection of cheeses and charcuterie as well, but I think it would be better if they offered some curated plates as our waitress was of no help in selecting them.
Oh man. Â My parents live in Vero, and I do have to say, the town is more fun than you'd originally think... With that said, this has got to be the coolest place for young people in town. Â It has a great selection of beer and wine, I loved my dinner (I had the portobello sandwich), good music, the service was really fantastic, great decor, very hopping. Â It's perfect. Â Keep up the good work! Â I'll be back next week!!
Review Source:I went to this place several times when I was home in December and had a great experience each time. Rick (the kilt wearer!) is very nice and welcoming, and they have the widest variety of beers I've seen in Vero Beach so far. I didn't try any food but I'm sure I'll come back and sample more next time I'm in town.
Review Source:Although they're probably known for their fondue, great music, and unique list of beer and wine, I've tried a variety of menu items and have never been disappointed. My favorite plate is their cheese platter with a variety of cheeses, slivers of fresh fruit and yummy crackers for snacking while listening to live music. I also love that they make suggestions and are knowledgeable about everything they serve. Always an wesome atmosphere, awesome experience. One of my favorite places in town.
Review Source:For the amount of people jammed inside, it's kinda small. Live music is great. Lots of beers on tap. Food selection is great. There's a lounge section toward the back if you don't want to be at a dining table or at the bar. Waitstaff was friendly. Prices are a bit higher than expected, but decent place to spend the night.
Review Source:Really like the atmosphere here...very Irish-Mermaidy! ;)
They have a great variety of unusual flavored beers...The Blueberry one was pretty darn good!
Our waitress, well...not very attentive and I don't she could HEAR plain English. I would have preferred to sit at a table where Glen was the server....He's VERY attentive! (We moved to the bar where he was working that night, as soon as 2 stools opened up! :0)
The live music was pretty good (we even danced a little outside the side door...while on a cigarette break...no smoking here...I know, I know...we really need to quit anyway...eventually!).
It  was the perfect end to our date night last week!
Well we stopped in night before last and I gotta tell you I was impressed. Â I'm not usually one of these people who goes for the eclectic. Â I'm more what game is on the tube but I really enjoyed myself. Â I even dared to order a fondue with Gina. Â Triple Cheddar with Porter Beer......it were gooooooood. Â There was seven of us and we also ordered a variety of cheeses and meat platters which were also very good (the wasabi cheese isn't as hot as they claim but still good). We tried a variety of beers and enjoyed trying one anothers. Â This place is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it even if just for a change of pace.
Review Source:Two Words: TRIVIA NIGHT!! Â Thursday nights are trivia nights at this great little Vero Beach hot spot. It is incredibly fun and my husband and I have been multiple times and always have a blast. Â The beer selection is amazing too! Our favorite is the Fox Barrel Blackberry Pear cider. Delicious. The food is good too. I had the tomato, basil and mozzerella sandwich and my husband had the cheesesteak. Both were great but the standout was the bread they were served on...warm, crusty on the outside and soft, light and airy on the inside. If you love beer...go here. If you love trivia...go here!
Review Source:Very well done! Â The beer selection is fantastic and the staff is great. Â The entertainment is always eclectic and fun. Â The menu is very limited however, so it's probably not a great choice for dinner right now. Â I tried the Philly Beef Sandwich with side salad and it was top notch. Â The fondue looks awesome, but I'm trying to lose weight, so maybe after I get rid of a few more pounds I'll give it a try.
A nice place to people watch with a little more upscale clientele and little trailer trash.
If you're looking for Bud Light or Miller Lite and tramp stamps then you're in the wrong place. Â Try Cunninghams or the Longbranch.
