Not many tables in the bar area so... we sat right at the bar. The bartender had all kinds of attitude... in the BEST way possible. It was awesome. We started with 12 wings tossed in their buffalo sauce. They were excellent - and this coming from a wing snob. The blue cheese was very good - thick and chunky. For the main course, I got the fish and chips with an extra piece of fish. The fish was great. Fries were above average. They had music bingo (maybe a Tuesday thing?) - that was a bit much but c'est la vie. There was one dude shouting out every song and singer. My guy, get a hobby! lol Highly Recommend! If I lived in that area, I would be a regular!

Brewery #390 Cool…read moreold, repurposed government building of some sort. Post office maybe? IDK. Anyway. Halpatter's is a brewery, but they only had 6 of their own beers. They had several guest beers and a couple of vodka sodas on tap. I got my standard flight and wanted to try their beers, so I got a red ale, a wit bier, a pumpkin style and a hazy IPA. Nothing was bad but nothing stood out either. Everything was solid. We didn't eat here but the menu looked solid. They had a Mississippi pot roast (Similiar to an Italian beef) wrap that sounded great. If I were a local, I'd definitely come back to try out the food.

Most of the seating is picnic tables outside under an awning but there are also a few tables inside. High Springs brewery had a huge variety! 8 beers, 2 ciders, a hard lemonade and a soda. All of which they make in house as far as I can tell. I got my usual flight which consisted of a Hefeweizen, a kolsch, and 2 IPA's. All were solid but the Hazed and Confused was phenomenal. They don't make any food onsite but there were menus at the bar for Prohibition Pizza that is across the street. As I was leaving, I also saw a food truck pull up so plenty of options.

I was at the Flying Boat last week (Ocala, near Belleview) and talking to Kevin about going to the…read moreMetro Craft Beer Headquarters. Kevin said that was a good location, but recommended I look at Sandy's Shack if I wanted better prices on brew. I went over the next day. To set the stage, Ocala is - surpriingly - a great craft beer city. In fact, there are other towns close by that also have a great selection in their taprooms. You can buy beer to go in many of the taprooms, but store wise, Ocala has two really good beer shops: Sandy's and Metro. This little gem of a shop sits in the Beall's shopping center behind the Outback on Silver Spring Blvd east of downtown. It is primarily a beer and wine shop and the shop owners, Sandy and Alex, were manning the fort when I went in. I started a conversation and Sandy showed me back to the beer section. There are 5 colors full of beer and the options are well curated. Many of the best breweries in Florida, with a decent selection of great brews from other states. I also ended up buying a bottle of wine, as they had a great selection of Italian wines: Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Nabbiollo, etc. And the knowledge the owners show for both wine and beer is fantastic. How does it compare to the Metro Craft Beer Headquarters? I think Metro may have a slightly larger selection, but fewer brews you can buy by the single. Plus, I found many of the beers to be a dollar or two more expensive per can at Metro (example: $8.99 for a 450 North Slushie Sour versus Sandy's $6.99). As such, it would be prudent, economics wise, to see if you can exhaust Sandy's Shack prior to Metro, unless you have a need for a particular beer you know is more likely to be at Metro. The shop also does some free tastings and the owners are more than happy to give you an education on wine and/or beer. Highly recommend.

The brewery has a welcoming, laid-back vibe, plenty of seating, and a unique setting that celebrates both Florida culture and international soccer. Watching the Ecuador match surrounded by flags from around the world made the experience even more enjoyable. The beer selection is impressive, and the tasting flight is a fantastic way to explore different styles before choosing a favorite. Every beer I sampled was fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. Whether you enjoy light, refreshing pours or something more complex, there is something here for every palate. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was lively without feeling crowded, and the overall experience was excellent. If you're in Gainesville and appreciate good craft beer, a welcoming crowd, and a relaxed environment, Swamp Head Brewery is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back to try more of their beers.
