Bunky’s Raw Bar Expands to Suntree: A Space Coast Favorite Adds a Craft Twist
If you love fresh seafood, casual vibes, and the evolving food scene across Brevard County, this one’s for you. Bunky’s Raw Bar & Grill, a longtime staple in Indialantic real estate and beachside dining culture, is officially expanding with a new location in Suntree— and they’re adding an exciting twist: craft beer brewed on-site
This expansion is more than just good news for foodies. It’s also a signal of growth and revitalization across the Space Coast real estate landscape, especially in neighborhoods like Suntree, Viera, and Melbourne that continue to attract residents looking for both lifestyle and location.
Bunky’s new location at 6300 N. Wickham Road, Suntree, will breathe new life into the former home of Charlie & Jake’s Brewery, which closed in 2023. This new venture blends Bunky’s classic seafood menu — think oysters, grouper tacos, and lobster rolls — with an in-house craft brewery concept.
Led by Colin Jones, a well-known figure in local food and real estate development circles, the team is aiming to create a unique fusion of coastal comfort food and artisanal beer, all in a family-friendly, relaxed setting.
For those already living in Suntree homes for sale, or buyers exploring Viera gated communities, this is one more reason to fall in love with the neighborhood.
Why This Matters for Brevard County Buyers & Sellers
As a Merritt Island Realtor and Space Coast real estate expert, I always keep an eye on community trends — because when new businesses like this pop up, they don’t just boost the local economy — they add value to the surrounding neighborhoods.
If you’re thinking about:
Relocating to Suntree or Viera
Exploring new construction sales & leasing nearby
Looking for luxury homes for sale near top dining and entertainment
Investing in short term property rentals close to walkable restaurants
…this new opening is a sign of momentum you don’t want to ignore.
We’re seeing more buyers prioritize not just square footage, but lifestyle amenities. Proximity to things like waterfront dining, craft breweries, and community gathering spots plays a major role in how homes are valued — especially for those relocating from out of state or looking for vacation homes in Brevard County.
With easy access to Brevard County waterfront homes, walkable parks, and now, Bunky’s new brewery-inspired venue, Suntree real estate is becoming even more attractive.
