    Kaliyah, Hannah, and Autumn were great. They suggested and had us try drinks that fit our taste. Definitely will be back. The best service I've found in a long time.

    Village Idiot Pub in Cocoa Village is one of my favorite places to relax and hang out with friends. Their beer selection is fantastic, and my personal favorite is the PBJ Mixtape—it tastes just like an Uncrustable in the best way possible! They also have board games available, which makes it a fun spot to spend an evening with friends. The service is always great, and the staff is friendly and welcoming every time I visit. I also love that they have a rewards program for regular customers. The atmosphere is laid-back and relaxing, with live music, jam nights, and karaoke adding to the fun. Whether you're a craft beer lover or just looking for a great local spot, Village Idiot Pub is definitely worth a visit.

    This one is all for Tammy! From the second I walk into the bar I know when you're there because I can just feel your beautiful energy glowing. Not only are you an incredibly efficient bartender, making sure no cup ever is empty, but you are kind, humble, and willing to have conversations about plants (I now know the full history of Guinevere and your spider plant, I forgot her name). Thank you for the random act of kindness before Iration the other day. Because of you, I met an incredible person and had the opportunity to feel like a celebrity for the evening. I'm going to need to make the drive out to Cocoa Village from Orlando more often so I can see your beautiful face! Xoxoxo To the owners of the village idiot, I hope you know just how lucky you are to have her! 🫶🏽

    Great staff. Great selection of beers. Just overall great place. Excellent to hang out during a week day and shoot the bull with a friend made on the spot, or come to one of their events and catch some sweet bands. 😁

    Didn't eat but beer was cold, service was great. Quirky little pub in Old Cocoa village. Great place to stop and cool off!🌴

    Visiting from Rochester, NY and went last night for the second time. They had Trillium on tap and Mortalis beers. We were gonna stay for 1 beer but the bartender switched the TV so we could watch Survivor and ended up there all evening. Always good vibes, clean bar, very inviting, friendly staff. We will be back.

    When It comes to breweries 3 things are the most important. 1 the beer selection and quality. No problems here this place had a great selection of quality beer, though I did not see any that were brewed on site, so more like a tap house to me. Being fair there may have been some that I missed, but I looked pretty hard. Second thing I look for is service. This was excellent, the bar tender was knowledgeable and friendly, well done. Lastly I look at the atmosphere, which includes the theme or vibe AND the Merchandise. The vibe was decent though fairly generic with brewery stickers from around the county everywhere. Cool in its own way but was hoping for a bit more. The Merchandising was pretty sad, there were a few different t-shirts hanging near the ceiling, but very limited and available sized reduced that even more, there were some stickers I remember but not much else that I saw. Overall a great place to grab a beer, just don't get your hopes up for something uniquely thiers. And if you are searching for SWAG, well hopefully they will take a look at that. Because I am not sure how many want to but a shirt that has large block lettering that says I am a Idiot on the front..

    I ordered and couldn't even eat it. The two chicken is fake, comes from a jar and disgusting. The fried rice has a mystery friend in it....worm? Idk. What kind of Chinese restaurant is this? Its definitely not a good one. The locals palette for this stuff says a lot about the people who live here. Yall dont have great taste. Anyone who claims the food here is good is crazy. I will never come here again. The health dept needs to give this place a bunch of mystery visits. I took 1 bite into the chicken and it also smelled bad. I threw it all away.
