“Thank you, Sebastian Daily readers, for voting us Best Pub three years in a row! We’re honored to be among all of the other great local businesses that help make Sebastian a wonderful place to live,” Pete Anderson, co-owner of Pareidolia Brewing Company.
After moving to Florida from the Pacific Northwest, Pete and Lynn Anderson opened the brewery in 2014, inspired by their love of craft beer and the lack of breweries in the area at the time.
Pareidolia has an impressive lineup of craft beers, ranging from classic styles like IPAs and stouts to more experimental brews with unique flavor profiles.
In addition, Pareidolia is deeply involved in the Sebastian community, regularly hosting events throughout the year that benefit local charities and partnering with local organizations.
Pareidolia also serves great food, and while their menu focuses on casual fare, they emphasize fresh, high-quality ingredients in dishes such as sandwiches, hot dogs, flatbread pizza, pretzels with beer cheese, fish dip, and more.
Patrons at Pareidolia tell us they enjoy the inviting atmosphere of the taproom. They also appreciate the live music, and we often see families playing board games or meeting other locals.
While Pareidolia takes the crown, Sebastian’s other pubs offer fantastic experiences as well. JJ Mannings provides an Irish pub atmosphere, while Village Tavern serves up delicious food alongside its brews. Mash Monkeys Brewing Co. is another popular choice, known for quality beer and live music.
Debuting this year on the list at Number 10 is the Smokin’ Bungalow, located at the corner of Coolidge Street and Indian River Drive. This 8-month-old small business offers 26 craft brews on a bamboo-covered patio with a stage for live entertainment.
Congratulations to all the establishments making the Top 10! We encourage everyone to check out our local pubs and breweries in Sebastian.
