If you’re staying on Siesta Key and looking for a great place to enjoy brunch beyond the island, Cask & Ale in downtown Sarasota is worth adding to your vacation plans.
With its warm, upscale bar atmosphere, creative brunch menu, craft cocktails and live entertainment, Cask & Ale is a fun change of pace after spending your mornings on the beach.
Brunch at Cask & Ale
The brunch menu has something for almost everyone. You’ll find favorites such as French toast, pancakes, waffles, avocado toast, omelettes, breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, and other hearty options.
One of the biggest attractions is the drink selection. During our visit, the menu featured bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys for $25, making it a great option for a relaxed weekend brunch.
The beautiful wooden bar, glowing shelves and impressive drink selection also give Cask & Ale a welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for couples, friends or anyone looking to enjoy a leisurely meal while on vacation.
More Than Just Breakfast
Cask & Ale is also known for its craft cocktails and live entertainment. On Sundays, guests can pair brunch with live jazz, making it easy to turn breakfast into part of a full day exploring Sarasota.
Start your morning with a walk along Crescent Beach, head into downtown Sarasota for brunch, explore the area afterward, and return to Siesta Key in time to catch the sunset.
That’s one of the best things about staying on Siesta Key—you can enjoy the laid-back beach lifestyle while still being close enough to experience Sarasota’s restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
