Wine Bars
Vine & Root
About
Vine and Root sits at 902 Florida Avenue, toward the far southern end of Historic Cocoa Villages commercial district, describing itself as a social wine bar offering wine, beer, and kava in a relaxed lounge setting. That drink lineup, wine and beer paired with kava, a non alcoholic beverage with mild relaxing effects, gives Vine and Root a broader appeal than a standard wine bar, welcoming guests who want to unwind without necessarily drinking alcohol alongside those who do.
The business keeps a specific, limited weekly schedule: open Thursday through Saturday from 4 to 11 p.m., with no listed hours the rest of the week. That three night a week schedule concentrates Vine and Roots operation into a compact weekend window, positioning it as a specific destination for a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evening rather than a daily neighborhood spot.
Florida Avenue at this southern stretch of the village, near where it runs close to Oyster Shooters Raw Bar and Grill and River Road Coffee and Popsicles, sits apart from the busier Brevard Avenue and Delannoy Avenue blocks further north, giving this end of the district its own smaller, quieter cluster of food and drink businesses. Vine and Roots own description of a relaxed lounge setting fits that slightly less trafficked location, suited to a slower evening out rather than a bustling downtown bar scene.
The business maintains a direct email contact at vineandrootfl@gmail.com and an active Facebook page, though a confirmed phone number and standalone website were not located from a live public source at the time this listing was researched. That combination of an active social media presence without a dedicated website is common among newer, smaller independent bars that build their following primarily through social media rather than a full web presence.
Historic Cocoa Village overall runs from around Florida Avenue to Stone Street and extends toward Cocoa Riverfront Park on the Indian River, a district shaped by decades of Cocoa Redevelopment Agency funding, city investment, and private capital that has turned it into a walkable destination hosting more than fifty special events annually and drawing a regular flow of Brevard County residents and cruise passengers connecting through Port Canaveral. For visitors interested in a wine and kava focused lounge on a Thursday through Saturday evening, Vine and Root offers a specific, relatively quiet alternative to the busier bars and breweries closer to the villages Brevard Avenue core.
