What a great little gem! Went here for dinner last night and everything was fantastic! Great wine and beer list. All the food was delicious. I highly recommend the classic American pizza. So tasty. The ambience is great. Its a smaller place but thats part of its charm. Super clean. The girl that was singing and playing acoustic guitar was really good. But the best part was the service. I felt like the staff here goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great dining experience. Our server Bonnie rocked! Super friendly and helpful when I felt like a dummy trying to cook on a lava rock lol. I feel like Cork & Brew had a slightly different take on dining than most of the other places in Clearwater Beach. We will definitely be back on our next trip down here!

2nd visit to C&B Bistro and we were (again) impressed by the quality and taste of the food, the relaxed and classy atmosphere, and the friendly and attentive service by Paul. We started with a delicious, piquantly flavorful ceviche and a caprese salad w very fresh tomato, mozzarella balls, and basil greens. This was followed by the scrumptious C&B Club served w greens, and lamb tenderloin which was prepared at table, on a lava rock, accompanied by fresh cuts of broccoli and carrots. We topped off dinner with their delicious pumpkin cheese cake. This was all enjoyed while sipping a carafe of very refreshing red wine sangria. A delightful evening outside on the C&B sidewalk patio.

We were actually on our way to Frenchys Rovkaway grill, but saw how insanely crowded it was, turned around and came right back here. We were able to sit outside and our server was super friendly. The ceviche was yummy and my BF got the black truffle capresse salad with tuna. The tuna was perfectly seared! He got the Cuban flatbread which was delicious and I got the roasted veggie naan flatbread. Everything was delicious. We opted for desert as well - I got the brownie sundae and he got the bread pudding - and werent disappointed. I definitely suggest this place over some of the more touristy ones. A very pleasant dining experience without the noisy crowds.

I have visited Panama City, Pensacola, Daytona and Miami. Clearwater Beach is by far my worst experience in Florida. Although the beach is nice here the businesses are horrible. The service is a nightmare. Food made two of us sick. Beer and wine were fresh but overall the place is a disaster. I have never visited a place where I hated more local businesses than Clearwater. This is a community that shows no appreciation for tourist. They all seem to hate their jobs. Its the businesses and people of Clearwater FL that make it such a horrible place to visit

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Service was good, it wasnt crowded. We got the ceviche which had good flavor but little seafood and wasnt the best we had ever had. I got the vegetable flatbread and my boyfriend got the Cuban flatbread. Both flatbreads were pretty good. We also had two glasses of their red sangria which was awesome. If you dont want to spend a lot of money on the lava rocks then youre pretty much stuck with getting a flatbread or something similar.

My wife spilled her drink so I went inside quickly to get napkins. I hurried and asked the first person I saw inside. He asked me to wait while he finished paperwork and brought napkins out a couple of minutes later. I dont think he understood the urgency but I was offended and told him we were leaving. The silent treatment during the presentation of the check and brief attempt to bump shoulders on the way didnt help either. Mimosas were ok.

After are awful experience at Bobbys Bistro we headed over to check out this little wine bar. So thankful to have met Matt (from New York, love the accent) and got great wine and food recommendations! Thank you Matt for making us feel at home. So far the mushroom and goat cheese flat bread (his suggestion) and wine has been awesome...more glasses and food to come! Thank goodness for this cute place!

Great atmosphere and very delicious food. We had the pretzel and it was very good. They have a mayonaise mustard sauce that I didnt care for but they accomodated me with just mustard and beer cheese to go with it. They had a decent drink menu and the live music was nice just a little loud. Its a nice place to relax and have moment to yourself without all the craziness of Clearwater.

Wow! We loved Matty. A great NY transplant that gives life to this truly beautiful bar. We came here after dinner so we didnt try any of the food, but everything looked absolutely delightful. The beer and wine list are fairly extensive. Again, Matty really was the highlight of the evening. Thanks so much for a wonderful night.

Beer selection is on a TV that rotates images so if you dont catch it when its on the beer selection screen you have to wait two more minutes for it to come around again. Bar tender didnt really seems to know much about the wine choices. Just ordered a plate of hummus and it took 15-20 minutes.

Great food. The lava rock surf and turf is delicious. They have a great beer and wine selection. I had the Zinfandel they were offering by the glass and it was fantastic. Topped it off with a chocolate fondue that featured candied bacon...nuff said.

Great meal in a beautiful, laid back dining room! Very respectable beer and wine selection. New owner was working the room, always great to see. We had ceviche, ahi, and scallops- all nicely prepared. Well be back!

Wonderfully eclectic menu. Its "Who knew those ingredients would be so amazing together" type food. Hard to beat the beer selection, especially with a digital display to show all the stats on each brew.

Just spent almost 2 hours waiting for our food. The food never ended up coming and we left hungry to find a different restaurant. Im not one to belittle a place, but would not recommend this place.

Its a very cool place. Beer and wine selections are limited. 22 beers and wine they offers. Overall I wouls still give it a four because it is a cute place and prices are reasonable.

Jason Landers

The lava rock surf and turf is awesome. The beer selection was great. The service was annoyingly slow for drinks from the waitress. Good atmosphere. Nothing comparable in the area.

Jeff Smith

Good beer selection but took forever just to get a beer. The Food was good but $27 for a 4oz steak and 2 small scallops is way to much. Left hungry with a $80+ bill for 2 people.

John Howard

What a cool little family restaurant! Amazing food and particularly good beer and wine selection. No Bourbon but not every place is perfect. Its a must visit.

Sally Hess

New ownership means better quality and more intriguing food menu, interesting wine list, plenty of craft brews and very friendly staff! Well be back for more...

M McGee

What a great place. Amazing beer and wine selection. Fantastic deserts. Bonnie (bartender/manager) was awesome. Cant wait to come back.
