    Pok Nacho
    William W.

    When today for lunch. Originally want to be seated in the outside loft but decided to be seated indoors. Our waitress was so nice! Our cocktails came out timely and were awesome. I had their garlic parmigiana wings and were delicious, My wife had their Pok Nacho and so good. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Stopped here for a quick bite which was good bar food. They had all the regulars items so there is something for everyone. We sat upstairs and outside which was a nice vibe plus they had music. Love the singer Miranda Madison. She had a smooth silky voice singing old school classics which was amazing. I will definitely be back especially if she is there adding to the ambience.

    I have been wanting to come to District for a while now and based on the Yelp reviews, so glad I did make the choice to stop by. First off the restaurant has an amazing view being that it's a two story in the downtown Ocala area it definitely stands out. We sat on the first floor which was super casual and so nice with the breeze. Our waiter (don't remember her name) in addition to the waiter who took over, Pablo were very helpful. For starters, the cocktails. I ordered a spicy guava margarita which was super refreshing and delicious. It has a sweet but slight kick from the jalapeno and my rim was lined with Tajin. I really enjoyed this drink and would get again. For my late lunch, I went with the infamous District burger. This burger is huge! It comes with 2 quarter pound smashburgers, cheese, sweet heat pickles, garlic aioli, and caramelized onions. It was so good - I finally get to see what why it's a standout item. Every part of the burger compliments each other so well, from the juicy patties, the aioli, and sweet pickles. I ordered the chips as my side as I wanted to try them out and wow you can tell they are cooked in house. They're not greasy at all although I did have some burnt/darker chips in my batch. Overall, it was a great experience and service and I look forward to coming back to try out their brunch and other cocktails.

    Hostess and manager were very accommodating! We sat for 10 minutes without a server and they were dead; I subtracted a star for that alone. She also never really improved. BlackBerry margarita was great; cheese curds, fantastic!!! Burgers were juicy and chips and dip yummy. Server never checked on us and was hard to find. Thank God the food was good and the food runners helpful.

    Been here a couple of years and remembered the roof top bar, so we decided to give it another try. We walked in and requested to sit upstairs. The host said to walk right up the stairs. We got to the top and the host up there said, "ugh, you guys are coming up?" Took a deep breath and walked us to our table like we were interrupting her break. Thankfully, she wasn't our service. Javi, this place's saving grace was the opposite. He was very nice and friendly, and made sure our drinks were never empty. We got pints of the Guinness' and shared the Ruben sandwich. Food was excellent. Price was OK.

    We had a girls night! Arrived around 8pm unfortunately they had the upstairs outdoor area closed. So we sat downstairs. The hostess was super sweet and very helpful! Our waiter was patient and even got our checks correct! The food was sooo good! The pepperoni pizza was different than the last time but it still tasted good! The cheese curds were AMAZING! And the fries were crispy:) I ordered the rum drink in special it was $14, but it was yummy!

    Delicious food. Great atmosphere and environment. Our service wasn't the best this time. She seemed overwhelmed and we were charged for the birthday slice for my mom. Other than that, I think they have great chefs. This was my second visit, and the first visit was for a private event and it was all around great; therefore, I'd recommend.

    This is my second time here and this time it was for brunch on a Sunday. I was so hungry that I forgot to take photos. We sat on the rooftop. We split a burger and the hot honey chicken. Both were excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the manager who put a tennis match on one of the TVs for us. She had to troubleshoot how to get it on the TV and we so appreciated that she took the time to get the match on for us! Whenever I'm in Ocala I will always suggest this as a spot for food and or drinks!

    Always searching for a roof top bar. There should always be a mandatory roof top restaurant in every downtown. It's only on the 2nd floor but I'll take it. It's September and it's beautiful outside. We set at the high top table along side the railing. There is a bar with TVs if that's what you prefer instead. The menu has a great selection. Nothing better than having them provide a Fall themed drink. I ordered the pumpkin espresso. My answer is always yes, in any way shape or form. 10/10. They also had a fall version of an old fashion that was so good that we had two. 10/10. Our food options.... Chicken wings dry rub-9/10 I do like how they have the option of dry rub or if you want it wet and then there's choices for that. The options are endless. Parmesan truffle fries with dipping sauce. 10/10 the fries are thinly sliced with the right amount of crunch. Cheesy grits-10/10. It was the perfect texture with the perfect amount of cheese. The best announcement yet... they have blueberry beer. Hard to find at any restaurant. This restaurant literally checks every box. This would be my number one recommendation in visiting Ocala.

    Burger, homemade chips, and aioli.
    Tim G.

    My brother- and sister-in-law raved about the burgers at District Bar and Kitchen, so we had to try them when we visited Ocala. The burgers were delicious and melt-in-your-mouth, and they were served with homemade chips and a very tasty aioli. We sat on the upper level of the restaurant with a nice view of the square below. The staff couldn't have been nicer. A great experience overall.

    We went on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was quaint and welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive. They recommended specific dishes and beverages. The food was delicious as everything tasted fresh. The melody of flavors was refreshing and we plan on going back soon. Highly recommended!

It was super busy when we went our first time and it was not during happy hour on several occasions we have visited. We live close and visited here a bunch the first 2 years we moved to Ocala and have visited less and less since then. There have been several occasions we have stood at the bar waiting not only to be greeted but also waited very long times to receive our drinks. In their defense, many times the bartenders were busy attending to patrons or making drinks. However, there were several times some bartenders were just talking to friends or messing around. The drinks here are super detailed so they take some time and TLC. I will say, most times our drinks taste delicious and the presentations are magnificent! The decor is so cozy and the ambiance is consistent. Hubs and I absolutely love Tiki themed bars and fell in love with Hawaii after our visit years ago so this place is perfect for us. We also like this place because they are open later than most places in town. We recently visited for a nightcap and it was definitely different. I recently had referred someone here because she was looking for Hawaii themed food (they used to serve food) and she informed me they did not serve food. That sucks because we always meant to try it but never did. Looked good. When we recently visited, they did not have physical menus and were referred to QR code cards on the bar. Our bartender was attentive and helpful with choosing a drink during our recent visit. He actually went out of his way to make the orange peel twist in a perfect manner. I appreciated that! I was going to suggest to hubs we have another drink and then a roach crawled across the bar. I discreetly informed the bartender of the dead roach I killed when we closed out and he took it away. Usually this place is clean and tidy so I was surprised to witness the roach. They do have seating outside as well but we usually sit inside to listen to the themed music.

    Def like tiki adjacent in deco but the drinks are pretty good and they use the legit items. It was…read morekaraoke night so low on tiki vibes but I had a Saturn and a tropical itch. Tasty balanced and I would go back. Good deal for Ocala
