6 Best Pubs in Gainesville

“The Bull takes amazing care of their patrons. I felt so welcomed and appreciated their extra efforts.“

“Great Food, Great Friends, the Perfect Atmosphere! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.“

“I went to Vivid for a music event. My boyfriend has an Achilles injury that makes it hard for him to stand the whole time in his boot and I myself am a disabled veteran and my back hurts often. Unfortunately the VIP for the event didn’t take place like they said however I had reached out prior to and had explained my situation and was asking for help before hand. I have to say the event staff, managers and James Banks (one of the bouncers) were so great in helping me out. They helped us with a small table and a couple of stools to accommodate us under the circumstances. I am glad I reached out before hand because with the VIP unexpectedly changing, this was more than accommodating. I cannot thank them enough for being so kind and understanding. I truly appreciate it! I definitely will be back again and will be recommending others to go here as well! Thank you all again! It means a lot. 🥹“

“Usually go here after rollerderby bouts (thank u for sponsoring GRR!!!)! Staff was nice and they have lots of good vegan options. Tried the vegan meatloaf which was like a vegan meatloaf burger ??? It was super good! I’ve also heard good reviews for their veggie and impossible burger! Def will be there again especially for their love of the rollerderby team 🩵“

“The Midnight Underground has a long and storied history in Gainesville as a local bar, hangout, artist venue and safe space for everyone. Current setup has almost daily events with a stage for trivia, open mic, bands, performances, sometimes karaoke and more. A nice, chill vibe to get away from the college "fraternizing" at some other spots. Beer, wine, and tasty food. come check them out!“

“Great service. We came in on a Sunday morning when they were short staffed in the kitchen (as are a lot of restaurants these days). Was told the wait for food before we were even seated. Our waitress, Michelle, was wonderful. We got our food, which was delicious, faster than we expected. Cute outdoor seating where you can bring your dog. We will be back.“
