I’ve reached the age where I skip the tourist traps and head straight for the dive bars where the locals hide. This place is a gem. The service is top tier and fast, friendly, and they actually pay attention to you. It’s a simple setup: no chips, no fries, just about 7 different sandwiches for $9.50 and $4 drinks (straight pricing, no tax games). I finally tried the French dip and it was a total standout. The crowd is mostly 50s and 60s, and while the live band was a bit hit or miss, the atmosphere was 100% right. It’s tucked right into a subdivision, feels totally safe, and has that classic dive persona I love. If you want a real local hangout that won’t rob you, this is the spot.

Lowlights:
– Came on a holiday Monday for lunch and it was packed! The kitchen was so backed up they couldn’t even take our order for over 30+ minutes. Good thing we were there to chill and weren’t in a hurry.
– Could lose track of time and do some damage here.

Love this place! Attentive staff, great prices, and although the sign says home of the worst sandwich the sandwiches are amazing! Make sure you try the French dip, Italian and Reuben!

Great place to see live music, service is friendly enough… delicious BLT for only eight bucks. The best thing on the menu is the fresh squeezed, orange juice screwdriver. In my humble opinion.

Had a great time shooting darts. A lot of space and room so you didn’t feel crowded or weren’t interrupted. Staff was friendly. Look forward to going back.

Jonathan’s Pub is absolutely my favorite hangout in Cocoa Beach! Our golf league goes there every Friday – and just had my birthday party on the back porch last night. – and it’s always a great time! Danny and his staff are always great to us! Service is always spectacular, bartenders are the best, drinks are fair-priced, sandwiches are under-rated but great, and the vibe is the coolest on the beach!

Jonathan’s Pub is one of my favorite spots! The Italian combos are absolutely awesome — always hit the spot. The atmosphere is great too, especially with the live music that makes every visit fun and relaxing. Big shoutout to Jenn — she’s always super friendly and takes such good care of us every time we come in.

Went for an after memorial gathering.
Ordered a French dip. Delish. Had a sunrise too. Yummy. I loved the back yard seating and the big fluffy unemployed cat
