20 Best Bars near Fruitland Park

“I always have a good time here. The employees are nice, the patrons are welcoming, the drinks are cold. Great place for darts. They also have karaoke on Friday nights. It's a friendly place open for nearly 100 years(!) and seems to be an integral part of the surrounding neighborhood.“

“Nice bar. We had wings and ribs, both were outstanding. Sides were chips and beans and rice. They too were outstanding. However, Hope made our first visit amazing. We will be back.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible ramps were available to use.“

“Little place just a couple tables. Built for take out. I like local businesses and this is def the kind you support. Fantastic food. Best garlic knots in a 6 hr drive. Wings are full of flavor. Pizza the crust is a lil doughy. If that’s your type then it’s great. I haven’t had the thin crust but I’ll be trying that next. They put a bunch of toppings on. They don’t skimp. I had a three topping and it come to us steaming out of the box. Bunch of toppings . And a dusting of parm to finish. I’m not a huge crust eater but I finished all mine. Got a smores cookie and it’s too good. Pricing is very fair. My mom got a supreme the veggies on it had a good char from the oven. They have weekly specials. Worth driving out of the way for.“

“This is a cool little Oyster Bar. We stopped with 4 adults and a 20 month old after spending the day on the Harris Chain fishing and cruising. The beer was cold and the food was great. We shared fried oysters, frog legs, raw oysters and fried shrimp. It was all very good. Our waitress paid special attention to our little guy in the group bringing him some fries and garlic bread before we even ordered. He was happy. The place is a little rustic. Don’t expect a spotless and polished place, but it was clean and the food and drinks were good. We dropped $125 for the 4 of us with a couple beers. Will be back.“

“I just discovered this restaurant in my area. And even though I wasn't very hungry. I did wanna try a side of white rice with red beans and mofongo.And I will definitely say the mofongo was great! The portion for the rice and beans could have been bigger The service was nice.The place was clean and the food was hot.I will definitely return“

“We went there for Valentine’s Day dinner and everything was great. Our server, Arial, was very attentive , professional and pleasant. I had Blackened Tuna and my wife had the two lobster tails and everything was prepared perfectly and delicious. We had Calamari as an appetizer and it could have been a larger portion but it was very good.“

“Checked out this busy restaurant on a Sunday. Live music (the duo was not good, couldn't keep a beat!) on the patio. Food was delicious!! Service was excruciatingly slow!!! We had finished our first round of drinks before our order was taken, thats a bit too long....we were considering leaving. The other not good part....we were seated on the patio and two ladies kept trying to smoke!!! There were signs posted on the tables and yet these two old hags would pull out cigarettes every time no servers were around!!! I feel they should have been made to leave, since they were "caught" more than once by staff!!!“

“There was no food truck the day we visited. But we sat at the bar and had a few drinks. The bartender was very pleasant and other patrons at the bar were friendly. And draft beer was $1.50! Possibly a 10 ounce pour, but $1.50! Don't expect fancy. The floors are plywood and the atmosphere is rustic. But cheap beer, friendly people and music several nights a week. And food trucks, if you time it right.“

“They held a benefit for me here as I have stage 4 colon cancer. I was really surprised and touched at how many of the "regulars" participated in the benefit and donated money. I haven't drank in about 5 years but if I ever started again this is a bar that I would definitely be comfortable and happy drinking in. Just really down to earth“

“One of many great spots to grab a bite, a cool drink, and listen to some live entertainment. This place has an outdoor food truck, a bar serving beer, wi e, and some assorted canned beverages. All seating is outside, but mostly shaded. Right next to a chip and putt golf course. Nice setting, good food and service.“

“This was a pleasant surprise. We weren't expecting anything great being in a strip mall along the highway, but it turned out to be great food and drinks. The flavors of the chile relleno, enchilada, chalupa, and quesadilla were amazing. The margarita was also very good. We will definitely visit this restaurant again.“

“Like the waterfall flowing into the swimming pool. Swimming pool is for priority members only. Nice restaurant. Country music is played some nights. Challenging 18 hole Golf course from multiple tee boxes. Mature golf course has some of the tightest fairways to hit from the tee boxes in The Villages, FL.“

“First time experience at the Anchor. I've seen their posts on Facebook and finally made it over. Outside was packed so we sat at the bar. You can tell they were short staffed but i certainly wont fault them for that, because everyone there was working their booties off. Excellent burgers and drinks! I will definitely be going there again.“

“The outdoor bar has plenty of seating but is close to other tables. I enjoyed that because it allowed me to socialize with others easily! The water view is an added bonus. Jersey Frank was the musician, and he played a wide variety of upbeat familiar songs. It was very enjoyable! On both visits, the food was good, but the service was top-notch!“

“I stumbled upon this cozy restaurant one evening, looking for a place that offered both great food and a lively atmosphere, and I was not disappointed. The moment I walked in, the warmth and charm of the place struck me. It felt like stepping into a friend's inviting dining room, complete with the buzz of conversation and laughter. The menu caught my eye with its array of American classics, each with a unique twist that promised a culinary adventure.The live entertainment was the cherry on top. It turned what could have been just another dinner into a truly memorable experience, adding a vibrancy that's hard to find elsewhere. The staff were incredibly welcoming, treating me like an old friend rather than just another customer. My meal was delightful, from the first bite to the last, and the ambiance made me linger longer than I had planned. It was the perfect blend of casual comfort and refined dining, making me eager to return. This place isn't just about eating out; it's about enjoying every moment, surrounded by good vibes and even better company.“

“Looks like such a hole in the wall off the Highway. It's such a cool dive bar. I've only been once but we met some really neat interesting people. I'd go back. Dark, dive and smoky but definitely was up my alley that night. Has a pool table and the bartender was super friendly.“

“Food is very good. Fish and chips are the best in the area. The classic old fashion for $9 is a great drink at a very reasonable price. Burgers and other "Bar food" is what we usually go back for. Staff is very friendly. Make sure you join their rewards club.“

“Fantastic restaurant and food. Shout out to our server LINDA, professional, attentive, pleasant, an asset to Mezza Luna. The food was delicious and we will be back soon with friends. Kristina Lee Elias sang beautifully while we sat at the bar for 1/2 an hour and through out our dinner. I feel she should try out for The Voice or Idol because my family and friends agree that she could win! She sings on Wednesday nights and the desk the rest of the nights, don’t miss out on a delicious dinner and a truly entertaining singer. The rest of the staff was terrific and did their jobs to the highest extent!“

“We've eaten at Square 1 numerous times. One of my favorite restaurants. The menu selection is varied, and prices are reasonable. The last two times we were there, Nicole was our waitress. She's very personable and on the ball. I would ask to sit in her section any time.“
