Patio Tapas and Beer in Coral Springs (9651 Westview Dr, FL 33076) is a Spanish-leaning tapas and drinks concept with a strong outdoor dining focus, currently operating under the rebranded name Patio Flamenco at the same address. Reviews across platforms consistently land in the 4.5 to 5.0 range, with Restaurantji showing a 4.7 from 124 ratings and the Patio Flamenco listing pulling 5.0 stars on both Google and Yelp. That's a legitimately strong signal. For most people, it's worth the visit, especially on a Friday or Saturday evening when the patio is buzzing and the live flamenco vibe is in full effect.
Patio Tapas and Beer Coral Springs Reviews: What to Know Before You Go

What people actually mean when they search this
If you're Googling "Patio Tapas and Beer Coral Springs reviews," you're probably trying to figure out whether this specific spot is worth your time tonight or this weekend. The place started as Patio Tapas and Beer LLC (you can find the Florida Sunbiz filing under that name), and the Coral Springs location at 9651 Westview Dr has since rebranded to Patio Flamenco. The core concept hasn't changed much: Spanish tapas, sangria, beer, and an indoor-outdoor patio space. The flamenco angle adds live entertainment that the original name didn't advertise. So if you're finding reviews under either name for this address, they're describing the same kitchen and the same patio.
One thing worth knowing: there's also a Patio Tapas and Beer location in Boca Raton (205 SE 1st Ave), and a lot of review aggregators blend ratings from both addresses. One Reddit thread in the Boca Raton area also mentions “Patio Tapas Bar” as a suggestion, but that kind of brand or community chatter is not Coral Springs-specific evidence for verification.
Restaurantguru’s Boca Raton listing for Patio Tapas and Beer reports Google ratings and other platform counts, including a 4. 6/5 Google rating and a 4. 6/5 TripAdvisor rating (with 143 reviews), plus a 4. 5/5 Facebook rating (with 436 reviews) [Google 4.
6/5 rating and other platform counts](https://restaurantguru. com/Patio-Tapas-And-Beer-Boca-Raton). Tripadvisor, for instance, shows a 4. 6 with 143 reviews, but that listing is tied to the Boca Raton address.
MenuPix and Restaurantguru have similar cross-listing issues. When you're reading reviews, make sure the address says Coral Springs or 9651 Westview Dr before you let those ratings influence your decision.
How to read the reviews without getting misled
The two most reliable signals for this venue right now are the Restaurantji aggregate (4.7 from 124 ratings, pulled from the Coral Springs address specifically) and the Patio Flamenco Google and Yelp scores, which both show 5.0 stars. A 5.0 on Google with a reasonable volume of reviews is rare and meaningful. MapQuest surfaces a 4.576 composite as well. Taken together, you're looking at a venue that is genuinely well-liked, not just gamed by a handful of friends.
When you dig into individual reviews, look for three things: recency, specificity, and patterns. A review from 2023 that complains about slow service matters less than five 2025 reviews saying the same thing. Reviews that mention specific dishes (Gambas Al Ajillo, Patatas Bravas, Montaditos) are more trustworthy than vague "food was great" comments. And if you see the same complaint repeated across different reviewers, that's a real issue, not just one bad night. For this venue, the rebrand to Patio Flamenco happened post-2024, so filter for the most recent reviews to get an accurate read on the current operation.
Also worth checking: the City-data.com inspection record for this address (last updated July 12, 2024) flagged a high-priority finding related to hot holding temperature control, with corrective action noted on-site. That kind of flag is common in Florida inspections and was addressed during the visit, but it's a fair data point to be aware of. It doesn't disqualify the restaurant, but if food safety is a priority for you, it's worth knowing.
The patio experience: atmosphere, seating, and vibe
The venue describes itself as a "vibrant indoor-outdoor space" with live flamenco vibes, and that's a fair description based on what reviewers consistently highlight. This isn't a quiet, candlelit patio where you whisper over wine. It leans energetic, especially on weekend evenings when the flamenco entertainment is running. If you want a quick overview before you go, check these tap house pub and patio reviews to see what people are saying about the vibe and service. If you're planning a first date and want a laid-back setting, Friday or Saturday night might be more charged than you bargained for. For a group, a celebration, or a fun night out where you want energy around you, it's nearly perfect.
The indoor-outdoor layout means you have some flexibility depending on weather. South Florida heat is real, so if you're visiting in summer, check whether the covered or indoor seating is available as a fallback. The patio itself draws most of the positive comments in reviews, particularly around ambiance and lighting. Noise levels will be elevated when live music is on, so if you're going specifically to have a long conversation-heavy dinner, aim for a weeknight (Monday through Thursday, when hours run 4 to 9 PM) when it's quieter and less crowded.
Food and tapas: what to order and what to expect
The tapas format works really well here for groups. You order several small plates, share them around the table, and you end up trying far more of the menu than you would with a standard entree setup. Based on what customers consistently flag as favorites, a few dishes stand out: Gambas Al Ajillo (garlic shrimp, always a benchmark for Spanish tapas quality), Patatas Bravas (fried potatoes with spicy sauce, a crowd-pleaser), Montaditos (small open-faced bread bites that are great for snacking between drinks), and Piquillo Relleno (stuffed peppers). Churros round out dessert if you make it that far.
On pricing, the menu page for this concept lists Montaditos at $4.90 and signature tapas at $9.90. If you want to plan your night, review the brew top pub and patio menu so you can pick out the best tapas and drink pairings ahead of time. That's genuinely reasonable for a tapas-format venue in South Florida. A table of two can eat well for around $40 to $50 in food before drinks. A group of four ordering aggressively can still walk out without a shocking bill. Portion sizes for tapas are what they should be: small, meant for sharing, not intended to be a solo meal. If you order two or three plates per person, you'll be satisfied.
One practical tip: don't expect a single dish to fill you up. The Montaditos especially are small bites, not a full plate. Order more than you think you need, start with the Patatas Bravas while you settle in, and build from there. If you've had tapas at a proper Spanish spot before, your expectations will be calibrated. If this is your first tapas experience, go in knowing it's a grazing format, not a sit-down dinner.
Beer, sangria, and what to drink if beer isn't your thing
The name "Patio Tapas and Beer" still describes the drink anchors, but the current Patio Flamenco concept leans heavily into sangria and cocktails as well. Sangria is listed at $5.90, which is a solid price point for a properly made sangria in this market. Cocktails start at $8.50. The sangria specifically gets mentioned alongside the "hand-crafted" descriptor on the concept page, and that matches what you'd expect from a Spanish tapas venue taking the pairing seriously.
Beer is still on the menu and remains part of the identity, but if you're bringing someone who doesn't drink beer, they're covered. The cocktail and sangria program gives non-beer drinkers real options that actually match the food. For a group with mixed drink preferences, that flexibility matters. If you're a craft beer obsessive looking for a rotating tap list with 20 handles, this probably isn't your spot.
The beer selection supports the tapas menu rather than being the main event. Think of it as a Spanish tapas bar that serves good beer, not a gastropub that also has tapas. If you want the full brew-and-patio vibe, this spot is exactly the kind of top pub and patio experience people look for in Coral Springs.
Service and timing: what reviews say about speed and staff
With a 4.7 aggregate and 5.0 scores on Google and Yelp, service is clearly not a widespread complaint at this venue. That's meaningful because service issues are the most common thing that tanks restaurant ratings, especially for outdoor patio spots where staffing logistics are trickier. The positive rating pattern here suggests a staff that at minimum isn't frustrating people regularly.
That said, tapas-format venues can get backed up during peak hours because the kitchen is running multiple small plates simultaneously for every table. If you go on a Friday or Saturday night between 7 and 9 PM, expect slower pacing than a weeknight. That's not a knock, it's just the reality of a busy tapas kitchen. Use the pacing to your advantage: order a round of drinks and the Patatas Bravas first, then add plates as you go. If you try to front-load the entire order at once during a Saturday rush, you may feel like things are taking a while.
Hours to keep in mind: Monday through Thursday they close at 9 PM, so a 4 PM or 5 PM visit gives you the most relaxed, unhurried experience of the week. Restaurantji lists Patio Tapas and Beer’s hours for Monday through Thursday as 4, 9 PM (as captured/updated Nov 9, 2025) Mon–Thu 4 to 9 PM.
Friday and Saturday run until 11 PM, and Saturday opens at noon. Sunday is noon to 9 PM. If you want the full live flamenco and patio energy, Friday and Saturday evenings are the move. If you’re specifically looking for the Hive Patio Bar and Meadery experience, check dedicated Fredericksburg reviews to compare food, drinks, and service the Hive Patio Bar and Meadery Fredericksburg reviews.
If you want quieter service and more staff attention, go on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening.
Is it worth going, and who is it best for
Yes, it's worth going. A 4.7 average with over 100 location-specific ratings, combined with 5.0 stars on Google and Yelp under the current brand, puts this comfortably above most casual dining options in Coral Springs. The price-to-experience ratio is strong: tapas starting under $10, sangria under $6, and a patio atmosphere that's genuinely lively rather than generic.
| Who's going | Best time to visit | What to focus on |
|---|---|---|
| Date night (low-key) | Weeknight, 5–7 PM | Sangria + 3–4 tapas, ask for patio seating |
| Date night (fun/energetic) | Friday or Saturday evening | Full flamenco experience, arrive by 7 PM |
| Group of friends | Saturday evening | Order aggressively across the menu, share everything |
| After-work drinks | Mon–Thu, 4–6 PM | Beer or cocktails, Montaditos for snacking |
| Family / casual dinner | Sunday, early afternoon | Noon opening, quieter crowd, full menu available |
Before you go, call ahead at (954) 906-5543 or check patiotapasandbeer. If you're also comparing nearby options, look up founders house pub and patio reviews to see what other diners say about their patio and service. com (which may redirect to the Patio Flamenco site) to confirm current hours and whether reservations are needed on the night you're planning. On busy Fridays and Saturdays, walk-in waits are plausible. Also worth asking when you call: whether flamenco entertainment is scheduled for your night and whether the outdoor patio is fully open (weather and season can affect that in South Florida).
If you want to compare before committing
If you're still on the fence or want a backup option, it helps to read through reviews for other patio-focused venues in the area before deciding. There are solid spots in the broader South Florida patio dining scene worth checking, and comparing the atmosphere and food format across a few options can sharpen your decision. Patio Tapas and Beer's Spanish tapas and outdoor vibe is fairly distinctive for Coral Springs, so you're unlikely to find a direct apples-to-apples substitute nearby.
But if the flamenco and tapas format isn't quite right for your group, other patio bar and grill options reviewed on this site can point you toward something that fits better. If you're looking for the tipsy turtle patio and grill reviews, compare what other guests liked about the patio, service, and menu so you can pick the right vibe other patio bar and grill options reviewed on this site.
FAQ
Why do my searches show different names and ratings for Patio Tapas and Beer? Are they the same place?
Yes, the current operation is best searched as Patio Flamenco at 9651 Westview Dr, but reviews may still appear under the older Patio Tapas and Beer name. When you’re filtering, confirm the listing address matches Coral Springs, not the Boca Raton location, because some sites blend ratings from both.
How long should we expect to wait for tapas on a weekend night?
Plan for slightly slower pacing between about 7 and 9 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, because the kitchen is cooking many small plates at once. A practical workaround is to place your first order as drinks plus Patatas Bravas, then add one or two more plates after the first wave arrives.
How many tapas should a group order so no one leaves hungry?
Tapas here are built to be shared and are not designed as single-plate “full meal” portions. A common, low-stress approach for two people is 3 to 4 total tapas plates, plus dessert if you still have room, rather than trying to order one or two items and waiting for it to be enough.
Is the patio loud enough to hold a conversation, especially with flamenco?
If you want to talk easily, avoid the nights when flamenco or live entertainment is scheduled. Weeknights tend to be quieter (Monday through Thursday hours end at 9 PM), while Friday and Saturday evenings are more energetic and louder.
What should we know about seating comfort in hot Florida weather?
Because this is an indoor-outdoor setup, weather and heat can change what seating feels comfortable. In summer, call ahead or ask when ordering which areas are covered and whether indoor seating is open, since the patio gets the most attention but can also be the hottest.
If someone in our group doesn’t drink beer, is the menu still a good fit?
Yes, there are non-beer options that match the Spanish-food pairing, especially sangria and cocktails (beer is not the only focus). If you have mixed drink preferences, decide in advance who’s having sangria or cocktails so you can order rounds efficiently.
Does the inspection record mean we should be worried about food safety?
The reviews suggest the place is strong on tapas quality and atmosphere, but if you’re food-safety-conscious it’s worth paying attention to the site’s inspection history. A past hot-holding temperature control finding was noted as corrected, but you may still want to ask staff how they’re handling hot foods during peak service.
Should we make a reservation, and what questions should we ask when we call?
On busy nights, walk-in waits are plausible, so calling ahead is more useful than relying only on review averages. When you call, also ask whether the outdoor patio is fully open for that evening, because weather or season can change layout and availability.
How can I tell which review site results are actually for the Coral Springs location?
Not necessarily. Some aggregators can combine ratings across the Coral Springs and Boca Raton addresses, so the cleanest decision is to weigh reviews that explicitly reference 9651 Westview Dr and the Coral Springs listing.
