And we didn't want to eat fast food or at a chain restaurant. There was no one else in the large dining room so we decided to sit at the bar. You can't see the bar from the dining room as you must walk through a door. The bar was nice with pads along the edge and hooks underneath to hang your purse. The bartender was friendly and attentive. I ordered fried fish which came with hushpuppies and fries. My lunch was deliscious! The fish was fresh and there was the perfect amount of breading (not too much). The straw fries were hot and yummy. I only ate half and took the rest home for dinner. There was a huge outdoor patio in the back. And both the dining room and patio had stages for live music. This spot had dive vibes but was super clean (even the bathroom). I tasted my friends burger and it was fabulous! I wanted both my meal and my friends meal lol! I highly recommend you stop in and try SOS!

Such nice people. Food was fine. French fries like MacD had it 15 years ago just better. I had the…read morecatfish, kids had the fried chicken, wife had the fish sandwich. It was all good. I would recommend trying the place. Nothing fancy, definitely dive vibe which we really like. If you camping around here not many choices but this is a good one after some tubing.

It is indeed a little bar in a wee little building that was probably some sort of shop prior to its…read moreuse in this capacity. It's not far from the heart of downtown Live Oak and not far from the railroad tracks, either, of which you become quickly aware when a freight train passes by. Despite the small space, they have a pool table inside, a bar (of course) and that pool table doubles as a buffet table when they have potlucks and the like. There is apparently also an outdoor tiki bar area in the yard behind the building but I didn't go back there. Beer is the preferred spirit it seems and the crowd is about 99% locals, mostly middle-aged but some in their early to mid twenties. The theme therefore is country/biker to an extent but they were playing old hard rocks standards when I was there and then . . . something . . . not sure what it was, but some song I remember from the early 2000s that probably was Linkin Park or a band that copied Linkin Park. So aside from the B-list or C-list early 2000s blast from the past, a very cool and low-key bar in a very handy location in Live Oak.

But what makes us keep coming back time again is the famous Brittany "Boots!" She is an awesome bartender who really knows how to entertain the bar guest and treat us with passion and enthusiasm. In addition, she is very veteran friendly and always has a smile on her face and always takes care of her customers. We'd highly recommend giving Marion Street a try, and tell Brittany we sent you!

Then it was sold by George and Ann and it went down from there. Many locals stopped going because the scum that used to hang out at Cowboys in Lake City decided to infect this place with their presence and it's hard for a business to make any profit when your clientele only drinks water. The current owner really wants to make the place a success but it's just not happening. Lately I see more cars in the lot and have wondered what's going on there and may have to stop in to check it out. I sure miss the good old days at the county line, wish it could come back around.

There is a fair amount of parking and inside, plus a large outside patio area in the back. Got a Yengling on a Saturday afternoon for a little over $3. Three is no draft beer, but plenty of cans and bottles. Nothing craft though. Oh, they have some wine, Seltzer and soda. They allow smoking inside so if you are partial to cigarette smoke, this is not it. Love the pool tables, juke box, and games plus slots. My bartender Maria is the best. She was very welcoming and got to meet some of the regulars Dean and Koy. As far is dive bars go, Odell's Sallon is the best dive bar in Lake City. Also the only dive bar in Lake City, but who is really counting. I really like this place. Wonder what it is like at night. I bet it is a hoot.

It is definitely a neighborhood bar and the locals are all friendly as was the bartender Melanie. There are a couple of pool tables, dart boards and a jukebox. They also had a bucket of 5 beers for $15 with five beers to choose from. I ordered the double burger with onion rings. I forgot to take a picture but the double will not fit in your mouth! It was a decent burger and much bigger than I expected. My friend got the club sandwich and it looked impressive as well. We ended up shooting pool and chatting with some of the regulars and left in the wee hours of the morning. Melanie was hustling all night as the bartender and the cook. She was on top of it all night. We were in town to scuba dive and are on to our next destination, otherwise we would have returned. Great little dive bar. Friendly staff and locals. Decent bar food.
