black dog bar & tables

The craft beer selection is pretty impressive for any bar. All of the craft beer is in bottles, though - not much, if anything, on draft. The craft beer bottles are priced at about $6 each - which isn't terrible, but not great. The bar had a fun, relaxed atmosphere with a nice outside deck and beautiful views. If you aren't a smoker, and I am not, you might be bothered by the cigar smoke. The bar also allows pets - so there are dogs and maybe some cats hanging out with you on the deck. It was an interesting bar with a great beer selection. The cigars and the pets kept me from giving it a 5 star rating.

No bud light, no coors- good quality beers and wine and homemade sangria which was great. Cigar smoking is allowed, but no cigarettes- checkers, chess, bean bag toss, TVs, comfy couches and a porch outside front and back. TJ has made a very homey comfortable place to stop in and hang out very eclectic - one of those places you just feel lucky to have stumbled upon. We will be back!

The place is just a great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Quite unique. Highly recommend to people that want a nice place to drink and relax.

My husband and I enjoy going to the black dog and visiting the owner TJ. We always try different beers and TJ is very helpful in finding you something that fits your taste. There are no standard regular Bud Light Budweiser beers so if you're looking for the norm this place is not for you. Try something different and amazing and visit the black dog next time you're in or around Cedar Key or take a day trip great little shops and restaurants all around and TJ always has great recommendations that pan out.Tell him Sam and Susie from Jacksonville sent you

We decided to take the day trip from Sarasota (about 3 1/2 hours) and not wanting to leave our 10 month old puppy behind we thought we would see how dog friendly we could make a trip to Cedar Key. As you might imagine, Black Dog Bar and Tables was welcoming to not just us. And to top it off it wasn't like we were settling for a place that allows dogs, they have the greatest selection of bottled craft style beers I have seen in as long as I can remember! I bet a good beer buzz and that sunset are pretty righteous! Worth the trip. :)

This isn't your typical bar with cheap beer on tap. The interior has a man cave vibe with a help-yourself refrigerator stocked with an impressive variety of craft bottled beer. The staff is quick to make everyone feel at home in an atmosphere designed to feel like your living room. However, non-smokers beware; the only draw back to this unique pub is the smoke and lack of ventilation. We would have liked to enjoyed the inside amenities but could only tolerate the smoke long enough to pick our beer. We made due however by grabbing a water seat view and relaxing on the back deck that directly overlooks the water. The deck wraps around to the front facing Dock Street and is dog friendly too! Quality beer seekers....this is a must stop Cedar Key experience!

The highlight of our trip to Cedar Key was the Black Dog Bar. The owner was very helpful and made anyone who came through the door feel at home. The selection of beer was extraordinary. The beer is kept very cold in the self serve cooler. You choose your beer, take it to the bar, grab a ice cold glass and relax. The outdoor deck has a great view of the water and nice breeze. The bar is cozy and welcomes cigar smokers, but not cigarette smokers (a huge plus). There is no liquor, only wine and beer but the beer selection makes up for it. We will be back.

If you are looking to relax, this is where you want to be. Comfortable couches and TVs where a game is always on. It could be a College football, World Cup Soccer or Tour de France.... Over 150 bottled beers but you won't find a Bud, Miller Lite or simular. Only upsale brews and a nice selection of wines. Cigars are available if thats what you enjoy. Views of the Gulf of Mexico and really does not get better that this.....

We spent two nights and one marathon day trying to sample many of the beer flavors here. The back deck is waterfront, the front porch wraps from sea to street and the inside is dark, warm, and funky.They don't mind bringing in food from across the street. There were no more than a dozen people there and everything was very laid back. Don't trust the sign for open and closed times, it's island time so everyone is working off of "ish" o'clock. Definitely going back.

The black dog has a huge collection of bottled craft beers and a fair number of cigars, in as peaceful a location as you could imagine. Inside there are comfy chairs and settees and a chilled atmosphere. Outside great views over the gulf and other nearby islands. The owner is a great guy and good company.

What more could you ask for than what's in my subject line? How about great view of the Bay. Sign as you enter says, "Cigars Welcomed. No apologies." As you enter on the right is a self serve refrigerator stocked with the leading gourmet beers. Fair selection of 'gars' although you can probably bring in your own.Down side is it does not open until 4pm. One of the very few bars on this planet that you enjoy the company of a Canine Companion, a cigar, a fine beer and a view that Yankees can only fantasize about. The owner can only go South from here if he changes this winning combination.

Great place for a drink on Dock Street. TVs and games inside. Sit out back and watch the dolphins play. Miranda was very friendly and funny to talk to. Kinda expensive. Everything sold by the bottle. No food served. Just enjoy the atmosphere and view.

Cedar Key is a quaint, seaside village that thrives on the tourist trade and Dock Street, the commercial strip along the waterfront, is full of restaurants, souvenir shops and motels. But the one place that stands out is the Black Dog Bar and Tables, a cozy bar overlooking the Gulf that boasts more than 150 craft beers, a decent wine selection and a variety of quality cigars. This place felt like home as soon as we walked through the door, thanks to owners TJ and Miranda, who treated us like old friends instead of first-time customers. We can't wait to go back again.

Wide selection of beers to fit everyone's taste. Great views from the outside deck, friendly staff, friendly bar mascot dogs! Not cheap but if you enjoy trying different brews this is the place. It was just what we wanted. Fantastic.

Comming into the Black Dog Bar and Tables feels like comming home, with the friendly proprietors and staff greeting you. Specialising in great beer and fine wines, this is the best place to kick back. Enjoy the view from the outside deck overhanging the Gulf, and enjoy one of the fine cigars they can offers in the somewhat rustic atmosphere in this awesome bar.
