Restaurants & Dining in Sebastian, Florida

Sebastian's restaurants sit in two strips: the Indian River Drive riverfront facing the Indian River Lagoon, and the U.S. 1 corridor, which continues north into Roseland and across the county line to Micco.

The riverfront strip is the older pattern. Indian River Drive runs along the lagoon past Riverview Park and the city's working waterfront, and the restaurants confirmed below on that road all face the water. The U.S. 1 corridor inland holds Italian, barbecue and pub restaurants, and side streets such as Cleveland Street hold the city's craft brewery.

The table is deliberately short. It names only places that a live restaurant website or a dated 2026 Sebastian Daily report shows operating, checked on October 11, 2026. Sebastian has many more restaurants: Sebastian Daily's reader poll in February 2025 featured 31 in and around the city. Places without a current confirmation are left off rather than listed from older directories.

Blackfins at Capt Hiram's Resort, Redfish Saloon and Squid Lips, Tiki Bar and Grill, and Mulligan's Beach House are the Indian River Drive restaurants with 2026 confirmation.

Capt. Hiram's is the largest. Sebastian Daily reported on July 28, 2026 that the resort's Blackfins restaurant, at 1606 Indian River Drive, was holding a Lobster Week from August 5 through August 11 to mark the opening of Florida's lobster season, with a different lobster dish each day.

A few doors north, the Squid Lips property changed in early 2026. Sebastian Daily reported on February 28, 2026 that the River Deck at 1670 Indian River Drive was being renamed Redfish Saloon, after the redfish in the Indian River Lagoon, with a soft opening set for the following Monday. The original Squid Lips next to it was not changing.

South along the drive, Tiki Bar and Grill at 1130 Indian River Drive appeared in Sebastian Daily's weekly specials list for July 27 to August 2, 2026, with daily plates Monday through Friday. Mulligan's Beach House lists its Sebastian location on its own website at 806 Indian River Drive, on the lagoon next to Riverview Park. It opens for breakfast every day; posted hours run 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. on weekends. The restaurant says it serves lunch and dinner daily with seafood, steaks and Caribbean salads, and that diners can arrive by boat to its private docks.

Away from the water, The Italian Cousin on U.S. 1, Pareidolia Brewing Company on Cleveland Street and Woody's Bar-B-Q in Roseland all have 2026 confirmation.

The Italian Cousin, at 480 U.S. Highway 1 in Sebastian, was in the same July 27, 2026 Sebastian Daily specials list, which gave its early bird menu at $22.95 a meal, served Monday through Friday from 4:00 to 5:15 p.m. and Saturday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. The restaurant asked diners to reserve ahead.

Pareidolia Brewing Company, at 712 Cleveland Street, calls itself Sebastian’s original craft brewery, established in 2014. Its website lists the taproom as closed Mondays, open noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 7 p.m. Sunday, with a kitchen. Sebastian Daily reported on October 8, 2026 that the brewery would hold its annual Running of the Wieners dachshund races on October 24, 2026, with proceeds for HALO No-Kill Rescue on Jackson Street in Sebastian.

North of the city limits, Woody's Bar-B-Q is at 13600 U.S. 1, Unit 18, in Roseland. Sebastian Daily's July 2026 list showed it serving meal specials seven days a week, including an unlimited pulled pork plate on Mondays and prime rib dinners on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

North of Roseland, across the Brevard County line, Chubby Mullet at Sebastian Inlet Marina in Micco is the nearest marina restaurant with a 2026 confirmation.

Sebastian Daily's July 2026 specials report placed Chubby Mullet at Sebastian Inlet Marina at 8685 U.S. 1 in Micco, with daily specials through the week, from a Friday fish fry at $13.49 to a $17.95 T-bone steak. Despite the name, the marina's address is on U.S. 1 in Micco, not at Sebastian Inlet.

That same July report listed more restaurants farther north in Grant-Valkaria, in Brevard County, which sit outside the Sebastian area covered here.

Sebastian's restaurant row grew up beside a commercial fishing waterfront, and the city acquired part of it with a state grant as Fisherman's Landing Sebastian, a fish market and eatery on the Indian River Lagoon.

The City of Sebastian explains how. In early 2009 city staff began work to revive a working waterfront along the lagoon as part of the city's fishing village heritage. The city won $3.1 million in Florida Forever funds through the Stan Mayfield Working Waterfronts grant program, run by Florida Communities Trust, and added more than $351,000 in local match plus another $300,000 for purchase and remodeling.

The two-acre site is leased to Fisherman's Landing Sebastian, a nonprofit fishermen's group. According to the city, the main building, once known as Hurricane Harbor, was restored with a wholesale and retail fish market and eatery and a museum of Sebastian fishing history, and the fish piers and fish house were rebuilt by the end of 2015. The site is a city-owned public facility inside the Sebastian Community Redevelopment Agency area, not a private restaurant.
