This is your classic cash only unchanged since 1974 Florida dive bar. Arrive with the right expectations (and cash) and you will not be disappointed. This is where the locals go after they finish their shifts at the other manasota key joints. Drinks are poured well. Be sure to try the margaritas on tap. Cheap and memorable. Wash it down with a draft beer or a shot of tequila. Come to see the Florida native wildlife and leave smiling. read more

Great food, reasonable prices, fun beach vibe! Calico jacks is right on the canal access to the Bay, so boats go slowly by while you're dining. read more

Complete assholes. Had our car towed while we were at the next door business for 15 min. No signs in front of where we parked AND the crap hole bar was closed so it's not like they needed the parking. read more

They allow smoking inside and it's not ventilated. I went in looking to play pool and ordered a water while my friend ordered a drink and the bartender rolled their eyes at me. read more

6PM on a Friday: Was looking forward to checking this place out for some beer, pool and darts while visiting the area. Walked in to the aroma of lung cancer being pumped through the vents, but some might find that appealing. After finding the pool tables required quarters and not finding a coin machine in sight, I walked up to the bar. Was greeted by a very unhappy, very old looking women and tried to order a beer / get change. I asked about a beer on tap and she walked away and told me I was taking too long to order. Walked out promptly with my dignity and lung capacity in tacked and walked over to the tiki bar. read more

Best and probably the only late night bar. Music Fridays & Saturdays. Went to see the Blind Pass Band and they rocked it the 2nd & 3rd set! read more

Old laid back place. Beer is cheap in price and drafts come in frozen mugs not plastc cups like other places in the area. It's a place where the regulars are friendly and don't mind starting up a conversation. Didn't get any food this visit though maybe next time. They also have buzztime triva and Golden Tee. AWESOME! Never would have thought this place would have that. The place is a rugged hole in the wall that has live music on the weekend but it's my kinda of place. Tip: This is a cash bar only... They have an ATM. read more

If I was a smoker I would give it 5 stars, the pool is a buck a game and drafts are under two dollars! read more

I'll start by saying this is a review from two years ago. This has to be one of the worst little bars I've ever been in. Terrible service, very dark and smoke-filled. I think if the lights were brighter I probably would've left, I suspect from the smell the place is not very clean. Drinks were rather inexpensive, but served in very small glasses. A dive of a bar, no food is served. This would be a great local hang out for drunks. read more

This is the sort if place that exists so far outside of the ordinary bounds of customer service that to judge it by those standards would be beside the point. This is a bar for locals. If they don't already know you, there's a good chance they'll simply ignore you until you leave. This is what happened to me. I sat directly in front of the bartender and tried to get his attention for several minutes, but he ignored me and continued to play a game on his phone (by sound, it appeared to be Candy Crush). I was unsuccessful in getting him to even look at me. Eventually I left, which is precisely what they wanted me to do and I imagine what they'd like you to do as well (or even better, just not show up). read more

Fun find! Great beer prices and friendly bartenders. So glad we found it to hunker down during our rainy vacation. Looking forward to bellying up to the bar again the next time we're back in town. read more

Great fun, good dance bands and best prices from Sarasota to Naples and a 1 minute walk to the Englewood Beach. Friendly service!
