99 Bottles | Craft Beer Bar • Wine Bar — Restaurant in Sarasota

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...

Too perfect. This well designed, well thought-out and very well conceived beverage location brings the perfect vibe to those who live in downtown Sarasota. Mark seems to cover all the bases and then adds a twist that will endear you to this newest and most waited for delightful beverage stop whether to go or stay and enjoy the unique "bar food" that will have you reaching for the menu to try just one more item-------sure. And the beverages? Great wines, properly stored for the next pour no matter whether red, white or pink. Craft beers from afar and our local neighborhoods and maybe even PBR, though not sure about that one. Kombucha on tap that I "highly" recommend. Whether before or after shopping at Whole Foods or live theater or a movie or shopping anywhere or paying a parking ticket at Sarasota City Hall 99 Bottles is right in the neighborhood and obviously right for the neighborhood. If you are from out of town, we're sorry, they're only here. Eat your heart out Lakewood Ranch. One more item. If you have any questions regarding beverages, just ask Mark, he...

Wanted to try a new place. Saw that Circo next door was packed so gave 99 bottles a shot as they had drinks and food and no one was there (now I see why). We sat outside as it was a nice day and ordered a round of drinks and tried to order off their bite menu as we were hungry. We were told the kitchen isn’t ready yet even though it was after the time stated. No worries though, we saw a Whole Foods next door so we could grab something to hold us over until they figured out their kitchen issue. Someone from our party went and grabbed a couple finger foods, we continued to have our drinks, then a staff member came out and told us we couldn’t have the Whole Foods food there even though their kitchen “wasn’t ready” and we grabbed something to hold us over we explained and wanted to continue to order drinks. They said sorry that’s our policy so we paid the bill, left and won’t be coming back. Do yourself a favor and go right next door to Circo, it’s a great atmosphere, friendly and...
