Fun atmosphere! Indoor and outdoor dining. Dog friendly outside. They have a couple seating areas that are super cushy, and a bar area. I didn't check out the bathrooms but it looks like clean place! Breakfast bagels were super yummy and the beer selection is amazing! Because I'm a fatty, My only one complaint is that artichoke dip is not bigger LOL
A great tap room and wine tasting place to hang out – we really enjoyed our Saturday morning / early afternoon. We stopped on our trip up the coast to St. Pete’s, and we had a great time. Name comes from the total combination of wine and beers they have offered. Not a lot of seating inside or out, but the exterior seating had lots of shade. Was really looking forward to sharing a charcuterie board, but on Saturday and Sundays they serve brunch until the evening – mostly bagels with different cream cheese and toppings. We tried the Cajun Breakfast bagel – smoked salmon, pickled onion, and got Cajun and veggie cream cheese on the side. It was so delicious. All the beers come in 5 or 16 oz pours. It was the fanciest flight we’d ever have as the beer came in wine goblets. Several beers were so good that we noted them to visit their breweries in the future. Crowd tends to be younger as the neighborhood is pretty trendy. The waitress was incredibly friendly, but was not familiar with a lot of the beers. With so many beers on tap, I’m sure the entire selection is relatively slow to turn around, but looking forward to coming back and enjoying the atmosphere and food, even if the beers are the same.
Friendly atmosphere, always rotating new drinks to try and in a really great location. Staff is always really friendly and service is pretty quick. Good seating outside and inside to eat or drink socially or even by yourself.
Strolled in Brunch time . Met great people . Had the best everything Bagel and lox I had in a good while. Had a couple delicious pilsners on a hot summer day. The wonderful lady had some wine . Staff was impeccable . Everybody wins
Even if you don't like beer, you need to treat yourself to 99 Bottles. Sarasota is very lucky to have the likes of this specialized creation. I like beer and no expert, but truly amazed at the twenty plus craft beers on tap from all over the country and points beyond. High alcohol potency provides bang for the buck . Congenial craft keepers Cody and Bart provide friendly insight and sample tastings of the various brews. Big thanks to owner Mark for planting the 99 bottles flag next to Whole Foods Downtown and keeping us in good cheer. Extra Credit- I understand he imports authentic New York bagels for the weekend. They also provide private lockets and specials for their regular club members- Call them for details.
Always great service with a wonderful selection of beer and wine! The bartenders are very engaging, personable and knowledgeable. The owner Mark is very funny and does so much for the community. The place is very clean, open, inviting and comfortable. Plenty of parking across the street in the upper garage.
Absolutely love this place. My wife first got me into 99 Bottles through one of their Sunday community walks — a couple miles with a great group, followed by waters, mimosas, and New York bagels back at the bar. The whole thing is super well-organized and just has a great vibe. Bart (one of the owners, I think) is the man — welcoming, thoughtful, and clearly cares about building a real community around this place. The food’s great, the menu’s creative, and the service is always on point. We’ve met some awesome like-minded people through their events and it’s become one of our favorite spots in Sarasota. Just a genuinely good place run by genuinely good people.
Stopped in for bagels this am, I'm from the north east and was craving a great bagel. They did not disappoint! The bagel was delicious and hit the spot! The best part of my visit was the service, I was greeted with a warm welcome. The bagel options were quickly shared and explained. You could take them home partially cooked to eat at home. I opted for fully cooked as I was only thinking about the everything bagel I wanted to try ASAP. They have sandwichs and I will totally try one next time. As well I will be back later to try the beer!
