This former gas station has been lovingly converted into a spacious and comfortable venue with an air-conditioned lounge, indoor-outdoor bar, and shaded patio space. It has plenty of room for kids and dogs to play, and both are very welcome. The husband-and-wife team of Jonathan and Angie Bryan own the brewery. Angie is a native of St. Petersburg, and Jonathan grew up in Georgia. The Bryans have two kids and two dogs, who sometimes join the family at the brewery. Golden Isles focuses on unique craft beers with a canvas of different styles, available both in cans or draft. In addition to their line of beers (created by brewer Aric Parker), selections include guest taps from other unique local, Florida, and even international breweries. They also have sangria, Prosecco, and kombucha on tap, bottled wines, vodka, tequila
canned cocktails, organic sodas, and farm-to-can sparkling lemonades. There’s truly something for everyone! A delicious lineup of local food trucks on rotation provides eats nightly. Golden Isles is open seven days a week. Jonathan and Angie are very community-focused and have worked hard to cultivate relationships with neighborhood residents and local businesses. The result is a friendly, comfortable venue with a great vibe and many opportunities to relax and connect. Golden Isles serves as a central meeting hub for the run club, yoga Saturdays (the first Saturday of the month at 10 a.m.), and various local meetups and events.
