Luckily for this place, the ventilation is crazy good so you don't get overwhelmed with the smell or fog of it! Drinks are cheap same with game prices. I recommend coming on Sundays (just like us) when the tables are half off. They have some gnarly drink specials too throughout the week. Security is tight (which I appreciate). Bouncer doesn't mess around and yes, you will be bagged searched and patted down. Another reason why we felt so safe here. Spent maybe 3-4 hours just lounging, enjoying the game.

Guess what the wine choices were? Red, white (Chardonnay), pink - ALL only by the horrendous $3/bottle Copper Ridge! Are you serious? How would you not offer at least one upscale choice as well? And, their "food" menu is an only an extension of the bar huts on the square plus movie theatre popcorn crap or Publux check-out choices. Villages family, we saw you on your little video touting the opening of this place in honor of the family matriarch. You have billions of dollars. You fit in private planes. You have Presidential candidates coming here for support. Do you actually like going out to places with crappy wine choices and bagged genetically modified food choices? You guys continue to disappoint at every turn. Each opportunity to make the Villages better fails on its face leaving the Villages in the dust for what younger sophisticated homeowners want in a neighborhood - unless you are catering to the Central Florida locals who love their fried gator bites. Spanish Springs now has 3 empty restaurant spaces, which is a travesty. The Villages needs to focus on all the vacancies in all the Squares and give us better options and choices to make us want to frequent your establishments versus driving away to experience normal life in 2024 at places that offer great wine, interesting food and fabulous vibes. Head to Tavares or Mount Dora instead.

Walking through Spanish Springs was a little nostalgic for me. This was the very first town square…read morebuilt in The Villages back in 1994, and my mother has lived in this area for about that long. Seeing one of the original gathering places getting such a major makeover feels like watching a piece of local history begin a whole new chapter. Even with construction underway, you can still feel the charm and character that made Spanish Springs such an important part of The Villages for more than 30 years. After three decades, I honestly think this renovation is much needed. The square is getting refreshed with beautiful new landscaping, updated gathering spaces, improved lighting, and renovated storefronts while still preserving the Spanish-style architecture that gives it so much personality. New additions include J.Jill, Coffee for the Soul, Barons Creek Vineyards, Blondie's Bar, and the new Genesis Health Club. Longtime favorites like Kilwins, Bella Vita Italian Steakhouse, Coastal del Mar Seafood Grill, Panera Bread, Flippers Pizzeria, Amerikanós Grille, and Ay! Jalisco continue to make this a place where you can easily spend an afternoon or evening. I can't wait to come back once everything is complete. Spanish Springs has always been the heart of the original Villages community, and I think this revitalization is exactly what it needed. It's refreshing to see such an iconic place being thoughtfully updated instead of losing the character that made people fall in love with it in the first place. I have a feeling it's going to become one of the most beautiful town squares in The Villages once again.

The floor is sticky and it seemed different than before. But overall it was a good experience and the drinks were good!
