Friendly staff, strong drinks, zero attitude. It's one of those rare bars where you can come as you are -- whether you're meeting friends, people-watching from the iconic front window, or hanging on the patio (the new pool table is a fun addition ). It has roots as a longtime LGBTQ+ favorite, but today it's simply a welcoming, everyone's-invited kind of vibe. Locals love it for a reason. If you haven't been in a while, it's worth rediscovering.

Not my vibes, but it could be yours…read more I'm trying to find some place to dance, that isn't filled with young people or start dancing too late. I was really hopeful that this would be the place, but it's not. We were here from about 8 PM to 9:45 PM on a Saturday. The back patio was very busy with live music that was quite good. So if I was looking for a relaxing place to listen to live music, then this would be it. They have a food truck, they do allow smoking in the back patio, which is not my favorite, but it didn't seem like many people are doing it so I think you can avoid it if you want to. I was really hoping that there would be more dancing inside, we kept going back into check if there was anyone dancing. For the longest time there wasn't actually even anyone inside except for a few people at the bar. At around 9:40 PM, there were a couple women that started dancing, the problem was I didn't like any of the music that the DJ was playing. I didn't recognize it at all. I don't think it was new music, but it was older music that I didn't recognize. We ended up making a pivot and driving to Nash Keys, which is 10 minutes away and they have dueling pianos on Saturdays. I was disappointed that I didn't know the music, because even if there was only a few people dancing I still would've danced, but being that I wasn't a fan of the music there really wasn't any point to do it. So maybe if we had stayed later there would be more dancing, but a combination of no dancing plus not knowing the music we did not want to stick around. Again, the back patio with live music was quite nice, different vibes so it depends what you want. I probably won't come back unless it's well after 10 PM.

I was super…read moreexcited to experience the legendary venue, but unfortunately, a rowdy crowd of frat boys kind of ruined the vibe. They completely lacked spatial awareness, but luckily, the staff did their best to keep them under control and ensure everyone stayed safe. ​On the positive side, the drinks were excellent and very reasonably priced, and both the music and visuals were spectacular. I really enjoyed that the venue has two floors playing completely different styles of music. ​The main downside applies to the entire venue: throughout both floors, it gets incredibly hot and humid inside, and when it's crowded, the layout makes it very difficult to navigate anywhere in the building. It's an awesome concept, just prepare for the intense heat and tight spots on crowded nights.

Anoche fui víctima de un incidente donde mi hermana fue agredida, hubo testigos del incidente que demostraba que fue ella la víctima, no investigaron nada, nos pidieron que abandonaramos el local sin hacer averiguaciones.

It was more of an outdated couch with a tiny table in the corner, and the roped-off area was really small (comfortable for maybe 4-5 people) while we had 8. The biggest issue was that our section was basically in the middle of the dance floor with barely any real barrier. The rope kept getting pushed around, people were literally climbing under it to get to the other side of the bar, and multiple people were reaching in, some even trying to take our drinks or leaving empty cups in our space. Staff did come by to clean a couple of times, but it wasn't enough to keep up. Overall, still a fun spot with a great atmosphere, and I'd come back if I was in the area again , just wouldn't book a table next time (especially for the price).

Not "shabby chic" or "intentional hole in the wall", just not a place where you're going to feel comfortable on a single visit. With all the bars and restaurants in Sarasota, there is no reason to stop in. By the way, I walked out after making eye contact with a server while sitting at a table and two bartenders while standing at the bar. I went unservered. Not my thing.
