Great new restaurant just east of Brownwood on Cty 44, The Sunny Pint. Amazing flatbreads and big greek salad full of veggies. Definitely a great new addition. Highy recommended

We were there Superbowl Sunday for the soft opening.

They have about 30 taps of craft beers from many breweries. Did not see any Bud.

Food was good. We had Greek tater tots and a charcuterie board that we enjoyed.

They have a patio in addition to inside seating.

karostay 02-06-2020 12:20 PM

No bud my kinda place

New Englander 02-06-2020 05:00 PM

No Bud, no go.

retiredguy123 02-06-2020 05:18 PM

No Bud is okay, as long as they have Miller Lite or Mich Ultra.

retiredguy123 02-06-2020 05:33 PM

The top 4 best selling beers in the USA are:

1. Bud Light
2. Coors Light
3. Bud
4. Miller Lite

Went to soft oening Monday. They are showcasing local brewers not big sellers like Bud etc. They also have a limited but good wine list and some ciders. Try them. We had a good time.

duffersue 02-07-2020 08:05 AM

They only have craft beers and most of them are from breweries in Florida. Excellent choices. You can check out their list of beers on an App called DigitalPour.

patemack12 02-07-2020 09:09 AM

Too bad for us that need golf cart access.

dougjb 02-07-2020 09:28 AM

This is THE place for craft beer. The proprietoresses (is that a word?) have a big heart and a strong desire to make this small business succeed. They do not plan to deal in mass marketed beer (which afterall is just carbonated water and lots of yellow dye #10). Their desire is to serve up a pint of real beer. For those of you Miller Lite fans, please hang out with your six pack. For those of you who want warm hospitality, a great beer and a pleasant place to have your beer, this is definitely DA BOMB! Please make this small business succeed! I, for one, can't wait to try almost every one of their magnificent variety.

They sell Yuengling, which is on the top 20 list of popular beers in the USA.

Some folks no longer have a driver’s license. Hence......no car. Thank goodness for golf carts for those people who have to give up their cars.

So you want this small business to succeed but you blast the Miller lite people to stay home with their six pack, NOT SMART !!

You can get that stuff almost anywhere. This place is for people who like beer with lots of flavor.

asianthree 02-07-2020 02:35 PM

All for supporting small breweries. Craft beer is more of a cult in younger gens. Our youngest buys for Multiple upscale pubs, specializing in craft brews. He believes in supporting local family businesses.

I don't understand your post. Were you just being snarky, or have you been there and this is your review?

I "think" they're talking about mass-marketed beer. Not the new restaurant.

karostay 02-08-2020 07:27 AM

Last evening after playing some card games with friends we decided its' time to venture out have drink and a bite to eat
I mentioned Hey there's new establishment open called
The Sunny Pint lets go check it out..

We walked in were instantly greeted with warm friendly smiles .
Received a brief explanation of there beer selection ,I think there around 38 give or take on tap...Yes for those who must have low end beer Yuengling is on tap
As for myself, Plenty of IPA'S to chose from.Not going to ramble on .The food was great ! The Ms said he meat ball sub one of the best shes ever had, Chicken salad wrap outstanding as well as their Cuban
Prices were moderate not going to break the bank staff friendly and accommodating short of it is ...We'll be back :bigbow:

It's west of Brownwood, not east. 4110 E Atlantic Gulf Coast Highway, Ste 501, Wildwood, FL 34785. Apparently, that is Route 44.

Fast Freddy 02-08-2020 08:23 PM

Went there tonight. Very nice beer selections with samples. My Greek salad was good.

IndianaJones 02-09-2020 08:52 AM

Prices were moderate? The beers were $7.50/16oz. Food was indeed good, really noisy inside (tin roofing, no insulation). Agree it’s a good place but it will have to be an occasional visit - $78 for the 4 of us & we split a sandwich!

So 8 beers and a sandwich for $78?

It's amazing what advertising and creating an image will do. Four of the worst beers ever brewed.

GJohn 02-09-2020 02:59 PM

Some good fresh beer and great staff! They're a welcome addition to the area.

Bud and Ultra lovers need not attend...

CWGUY 02-09-2020 07:28 PM

:ohdear: Wow! Never realized how many beer snobs we had. :beer3: But I'm still amazed people pay to drink Starsucks coffee or spend any amount of time listening to Beatles's music ..... they do call that music.....right? To each his own. Some like vanilla and some like chocolate. I just don't think the new place trying to make it wants to see "Bud and Ultra lovers need not attend..." :oops:

My favorite beer was Heffenreffer, in the bar bottles with the rebus under the cap. Next was Labatt 50, which was only available for a limited time in Canada. Third was Molson Beer, also only available in Canada at the time (in the States you could get Molson Golden Ale, and I believe Molson dark, at that time). The Molson was served in a glass with a pinch of salt sprinkled on top of the foam.

Those were the only beers I would ever drink. Never really learned to appreciate the taste of it.

I have been a homebrewer for over 20 years, so my wife and I visit a LOT of breweries/tap houses all over Florida. We wanted to try Sunny Pints, so we headed over yesterday... it was Sunday, and it was Sunny, so it fit right into how they named the restaurant!

First - this is not a brewery - it is a Tap House. They don't brew any beer, but do carry a huge selection of craft beers - many from Florida! The concept is great, but I found that the actual implementation falls a little short.

I agree with a previous poster - the beer prices are far more than any other brewery/tap house in the area. Many beers are $8 or $9 a pint. At those prices I would expect to order at my table, but you need to go the front and order your own.

The menu is very limited right now, but it is a soft opening. We each had a flat bread and they were excellent... however, each flat bread is $12. My wife and I each had a flat bread and a 9 oz beer, and it cost me a little over $38 with tip.

At these prices, I fear for the long term health of this place - we were there at prime time for dinner and there was one other group of 4 folks there.

CWGUY 02-10-2020 09:21 AM

:shrug: Was the group of 4 you saw splitting a sandwich 4 ways? :icon_wink:

I was thinking about giving this new Sunny Pint a try for lunch and a "craft" pint but with those prices count me out.

More like uppity or Toplofty

Chatbrat 02-10-2020 02:08 PM

Never been a beer drinker--volume vs distance to a "head" too much trouble--most DUI's--"only had 2 beers"
Will stick with good vodka & good scotch--this way I know what I'm consuming --alcohol wise

retiredguy123 02-10-2020 02:30 PM

It seems to me that people who drink a lot of beer are always looking for happy hours and low prices. So, if you have high beer prices, you are going to lose your best potential customers.

C4Boston 02-11-2020 08:27 PM

Went here for lunch today, good food and selection of brews. Will certainly return.
