Stop into any of the places below for some good times, old-school arcade games, and delicious bites to eat, and stick around for the pleasant atmosphere and live music. 

Whether you’re on your way to the beach or simply heading back to your vacation rental, enjoy refreshing sips of ciders, meads, and ales when you head to these spots. 

3.14 Pi & Blasé Café

Relaxed, beachy atmospheres and a brewery, Siesta Key favorite, await you in this combination pizza restaurant and martini bar. Since 1997, this venue has been the perfect place to grab a carefully crafted cocktail while enjoying a cozy atmosphere and live music.

Enjoy one of their specialty drinks while waiting for your main course to arrive or order one of their delicious appetizers to keep the hunger at bay. We highly recommend the garlic knots with pecorino romano, garlic butter, and a marinara sauce in addition to their brussel sprouts topped with dried cranberries, bacon, honey, and a balsamic glaze.

For the main dish, order one of their smash burgers or specialty pizzas. While you can’t go wrong with either, you won’t be able to get enough of their Pizza Cynthia. Covered in garlic butter, mozzarella, chicken, and artichoke hearts, this specialty item is good through the last slice. Don’t wait to check out one of the best breweries in Siesta Key!
