• Gastro Pub • Fruitville, Florida
Booked 9 times today
When we started Big Top Brewing Company, there were no craft breweries in the Sarasota area and we set out to fix that. We wanted to compliment Sarasota’s historical associations with The Ringling Circus, performing arts, great architecture, the best art and design schools and world renown tourism. The best way we could do that was to craft beer that our home town can be proud of. We plan to continue the tradition of the arts and help Sarasota add beer town to its identity. Come step under our big top and see for yourself. Big Top Brewing Company artistically crafts world class beers, inspired by our passion, integrity, and the history of our home town.

    We do not like the noise level of the main dining room. We checked in 30minutes before our reservation to ask for a table in the room nearest University. These two rooms are very quiet and make this dining experience top notch. Unfortunately the hostess tried to seat us in the main dining room after waiting 30 minutes in bar. I told her we wanted the side dining room and she said rudely it wasn't available. The manager saw this interchange and immediately moved us to one of the open tables. Well done! Thank you. Service and food was excellent as usual. We eat at this restaurant at least twice per month. Love it!
