One of Gainesville's great little hidden away spots for beer hangs, karaoke, and trivia. Plus they have some amazing tacos and other food too.

Go for the Trivia on Tuesdays. Haven't eaten much of their food, had some good tacos and their salsa is good. My partner has had the macaroni bites and they said the meal was good. Drinks are good.

Love being able to sit out back and still order food from Boca. May run into a DJ, Open Mic or Karaoke as well

Wow! This was a very cool place to visit! I love to play pool, listen to music, Salsa, and have a drink. This is a one stop shop for folks that want it all! I will be back...I might become a regular Lol

It was Karaoke Monday and a full house! First time here, and it was great! The atmosphere was friendly and fun 😁 The singers were all AWESOME! And the food was tasty. 😋 The burrito look simple, but it was yummy with a kick of spice to it.

Great party.... excellent music and service.

Very overpriced for very mediocre food. Had to wait 20 minutes to get offered menus and water. I ordered the Cadillac margarita at 16 dollars and was dismayed to recieve a poorly mixed marg mix poured over ice into a mason jar. This place doesn’t scream quality dining, it just screams loudly. Overall a poor dining experience in a town filled with exceptional ones.

Cool, small outside venue in Gainesville. Convenient parking lot nearby the venue and other restaurants. I wish the shows would start a little earlier than 9:00pm.

It was crowded till 1:30 and the backyard and there was very little room to dance. The overall crowd is very young in their twenties mostly. The music was not Caribbean on Friday night by the way. There is an inside DJ where there was pool tables and a little room to dance but overall it's not a big dance Vibe it's more of a suicidal hook up and drink vibe but I did meet some very cool people there that were very nice and people seem generally happy

I would not recommend for a fun night out, the bar staff is extremely kind while the “head of security” is very rude. you can spend your money best elsewhere maybe the Relish next door lol
