99 Bottles Taproom & Bottle Shop

Awesome diversity of beers, local and from all over the country. Cool atmosphere, and super friendly staff.

Outstanding place. Great choice of wines and loads of interesting beers, stylish decor, great atmosphere, and nice clientele. Even more importantly than all of that, the bar staff are among the best in the business worldwide at any level of bar/hotel/restaurant. If I ran a bar, I would steal them and pay them whatever they asked. Thank you, Dylan, Christie (and previously Laura). Know that it is the way you treat us customers that make this place so great. Management clearly know how to do this right. Highly recommended.

A visiting newbie in Sarasota on the 4th of July weekend, we stumbled on this nifty little nook of a shotgun pub in downtown Sarasota called 99 Bottles Taproom & Bottle Shop. The name instantly reminded me of my student's drunken days: 99 bottles of beer, 99 bottles of beer on the wall, la-la-la... I'm sure you were part of that song at a few long forgotten benders years back. Anyway, it is a cool hangout for locals and a warm welcoming venue for out-of-town wanderers, like me. They have (I would guess) a variety of 99 funky craft beer on tap from around the world, including Funky Buddha beer, and an array of wine that certainly would please any wine connoisseur. They also serve great finger foods to bite along while enjoying your beer or wine: Homemade fresh NY bagels, sandwiches, toasts, flatbreads, and custom-crafted pizzas to your liking. They even have a locker club where one can rent a locker and store your special stash of brew or wine.

Brent and Kevin are GREAT bartenders and beer geeks in the truest sense of the words. 99 Bottles cares about their taplist as much as I do about the one in my own Taproom. If you're in Sarasota and looking for great beer, great people, and a place that (at least to me) feels like home, you couldn't ask for any better than 99 Bottles. 6 Stars at least.
