At first we felt very out of place, but soon that feeling dissolved into a feeling of pure acceptance. They couldn't have been any more welcoming... we were only there for a couple of beers and some (secret) shots, but we left knowing we'd have a story to tell. My name is forever left on the ceiling in the form of a dollar bill which i strategically place on the ceiling with their fancy staple gun.

Jake the bartender that afternoon made a wonderful espresso martini as well as a delicious lemon drop shot. He is a great bartender that I highly recommend. It is well lit during the day with a very long bar and plenty of comfy stools or tables and booths. I always thought of taverns as smelling like stale beer, but this one definitely did not. We very much enjoyed our time, company, and the drinks. I look forward to going back.

I will say…read morethat the historical neighborhood bar (est. 1946) has been very well supported by its patrons for decades and is a wonderful place to relax after work by its non-judgmental blue and white collar customers. I see new customers daily who then turn into "regulars". There is an enormous Yankee population who visit for several months of the year, all of which enjoy weekly Karaoke, live music, and charismatic bartenders. You won't find a $21 NY Strip at the Gator lounge; however their $6 large pepperoni pizza just hits the spot with a $1 draft beer while watching a ball game on one of the many flat screen TV's. The Gator owners and staff are a great team of sports fans, church goers, campers, who regularly hold fundraisers for the less fortunate. We (customers) love them.  We spend holidays, birthdays, weddings, together. The recently renovated Gator Lounge team has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity over the years. They have holiday meal gatherings; put together several times a charter bus for 80+ customers to attend the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey games. The Gator staff organized a "Bikes for Tikes" fundraiser last Christmas and through it's patrons and community raised, assembled, and distributed over 70 new bicycles to brighten Christmas day of some children. They've put together many parade floats for the customers to throw beads from, and so much more for the community. The Gator lounge is simply a tremendous team of wonderful loving people. I personally recomend everybody drop in for your favorite libation and a pizza, corndog, chicken wings etc. If you do, you will return again.  I've no doubt!!

We asked if there was bread, and they have a complementary bread and pesto that was excellent. We each chose something different so we could try four different meals. The fish tacos were great! Great flavor and huge piece of fresh fish. The green beans are an excellent side choice. The grilled salmon was also excellent. The key lime aioli was sweet, but delicious. The crab cake was not deep fried and crispy, but full of large pieces of crab. The homemade potato chips and fries were great. I did prefer the fries. They also have gluten free buns for the burgers. Service was also excellent.

Salmon + green beans did what they needed to do. They gave me coleslaw too, did I ask for it? no. did I eat it? also no, but that's a personal preference thing. We also got the Mediterranean sampler and that was actually really good. I even tried my mom's martini of the month and I don't even like martinis like that but I would 100% drink that one again. The vibe is kinda in between, you can dress up or show up casual and not feel weird. It's a little loud but in a fun way like good for a date night or girls night. Service was decent, the girl at the bar was nice and clearly doing everything at once, so no complaints there. Drinks aren't insanely strong, but they can be cute depending on what you order. My wine looked like...wine, but my mom's martini had a cute rim. It ended up being around $57 not including tip which honestly felt cheap for everything we got. Only downside is street parking, so be ready to walk a bit if you didn't park right beside it. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area.
