Food+beer in Sarasota
Last inspected:
1525 4 St Unit B, Sarasota, FL 34236Food+Beer in Sarasota has documented serious and persistent compliance problems. Across 23 inspections since 2016, the facility accumulated 141 violations, averaging 6.1 per inspection—nearly 20% above the Florida statewide average of 5.2. High-priority violations dominate the record, with management awareness failures cited in at least 8 inspections, employee health policy and reporting violations in at least 5 inspections, chemical storage violations in at least 7 inspections, and proper cooking temperature violations in at least 6 inspections. Two consecutive inspections in December 2025 reveal acute deterioration: on December 16, an inspector documented 30 violations including 5 high-priority findings across management awareness, cooking temperatures, time-as-control procedures, chemical storage, and employee health reporting, and recommended an administrative complaint.

The facility has never been emergency-closed despite this violation pattern. One disciplinary action resulted in a $200 fine. The most recent inspection on December 17, 2025 was classified as Call Back - Complied, indicating the facility addressed specific prior violations but does not reflect resolution of the broader systemic failures documented in the December 16 inspection.
