I've been a couple of times with coworkers and the atmosphere is always relaxed and chill, which is what was needed after long work days. I've tried the mule and definitely recommend it with extra ginger. I had them add a ginger syrup from another drink to mine, definitely gave it the kick it needed. I've tried a few other drinks as well. Can safely say they can make you basically anything the way you want it. Never had a bad tasting drink there. Overall, recommend this place if you're wanting to not be super crowded and just relax with a nice drink. Do be patient as they aren't making quick dive bar drinks. They are crafting the cocktails. It's about the experience and taste more than just going for drinks.

The humidor while smaller compared to many large chain stores offers a nice selection and a variety of "house rolls". They even have a nice outdoor seating area for those warmer days and evenings

We recently had lunch at The Peach House. Here is what I thought…read more Atmosphere: The Peach House is located inside what looks like an old home. It is cutely decorated on the inside and outside. It has a beautiful covered front porch with lots of plants. The inside was quaintly decorated. I loved the atmosphere. Restrooms: It had two single use restrooms. The restrooms were nice and clean. Service: Our service was great overall. I gave four stars because it was a bit slow at moments, but the waiter apologized for the wait times. Food: I loved my food and drink. I got their 'Tropic Thunder' mocktail which was delicious. It is such a fun drink for the summer! I had their 'Whipped Ricotta Toast' as my lunch entree. I wanted something cool and not too big to eat for lunch. It was the perfect portion size and very flavorful. Everything was beautifully presented. If I'm back in the Lakeland area, I will definitely come back here! It seems like a great spot for brunch or lunch. I did see someone bring their dog, so it must be pooch friendly!

It was our first time trying gator bites, and they were so good that we ordered a second plate. Everything came out fresh and full of flavor. The cocktails were just as impressive. There were so many unique options that we couldn't help but try a few different ones, and every drink was excellent. The service really tied everything together. Both the bartender and our server were friendly, attentive, and happy to share local recommendations, which we really appreciated as visitors. Great food, great drinks, and great people. We'd definitely stop by again.

Eala's is Frescos Speakeasy in the basement- it's been around for about a year and a half now but…read moreis not as well known because it's not open to the general public (yet). Eala's is pronounced eye-laws, but the word actually means "swan" in Irish, as it is a Lakeland establishment which is home to the royal swan. Very cute and thoughtful. It is a speakeasy for private events only- but renting the space is really affordable compared to a lot of places, because it already comes with full bar service, plenty of seating and decoration as well as a stage. They did a beautiful job with the setup- it's classy and gives a bit of a prohibition feel yet a little more modern. We enjoyed the drinks and expected to since it is a Frescos establishment and if you know Frescos you know they serve great brunch, desserts & drinks so why wouldn't their speakeasy be the same. I came to Eala's for an event with about 50-60 people and we fit easily and comfortably, so I think this space could for sure fit 100-150 people, if not even more than that. It's a beautiful space that hopefully they'll start running as a regularly open and visitable speak easy in the future, fingers crossed!

The people working were so friendly and welcoming! And they had a happy hour on a Friday!! So instead of $13/$14 drinks, they had a good amount for about $8 instead. They also had cozy couches and places to sit and background music playing, but we could hear each other fine. I noticed that they had a good chunk of regulars that were greeted with a really friendly "heeeeyyy!" Or "what's up?!!" We had green tea shots and drinks and the bill was pretty cheap. I think I paid like $23 for a drink and 2 green tea shots. I'll definitely be back.

He was very social and answered all our questions and socialized about personal life as well. We ordered the Cuban eggrolls, and they were quite good but had smaller cubes of ham as opposed to pictures showing slices in some older pictures posted to this establishment. The drinks were spot-on. Although I may sound disappointed, I'm looking forward to trying more on the menu that they have to offer. I plan to return to try more. Recommended!

Couple if locals were inside. Bar tender we had was a charming playful gentleman. Sense i came more for my company than the place, i chose to focus my whole being on them so I didn't take pictures. I will definitely be back to give it an honest full package review. They got karaoke, a pool table n a nice outdoor patio with privacy walls. I didn't go back out sense it really takes half of beer to get me drunk. I wasn't gonna flop like waffle into the floor. I think 2 hours in we saw more gentlemen come in and madams also. It is a nice chill spot. No drama, just a bunch of folks getting wrecked on the $15 drink all night special n singing karaoke. I never done karaoke but i promise i will next time. Ima bring my cat-girl super power out! How was the date? Definitely moving forward with the conquest! We after party n i got home around 3am lol so i had a blast.

I've never been to Lakeland, FL. My friend and I found this gay club on Yelp and we thought to give…read moreit a try. First and foremost I'm 60 years old. I've been to many gay establishments from Portland ME to San Francisco, CA. Upon arrival at 11:00pm the building looked dilapidated. The parking lot was dirt and the arrival experience gave an impression of being an unsafe area. The doormen we're welcoming and cordial. The bar tender was very nice too. Our Drag Show experience was constantly interrupted by a belligerent extremely intoxicated female patron as you can see below in the screen shot. She should have been escorted from the club and kicked to the curb. She was interrupting the show and harassing patrons to the point that we left 15 minutes after the show started. I understand it's a small club. It is what it is and serves the gay community in Lakeland, FL. Would I return? Possibly. Only if you put a muzzle on the belligerent drunk with the trucker mouth.
