20 Best Beer Bars near Lakewood Ranch

“Great food, friendly and knowledgeable staff, nice atmosphere. We will most definitely return!“

“Lovely setting and and the lodge itself is beautiful! I am perplexed by the constant 80s music being played there however - really a downer from an ambiance perspective. Lakewood National plays a mix of today's music, country, and oldies and people love it!“

“WOW! We went last night while in town for a soccer tournament in Tampa.. Drove out to Sarasota to visit family and my cousin suggested here... and WOW the food was AMAZING! The service was FANTASTIC. The atmosphere was even better. This place is a must while in town!“

“Great place for a great burger 🍔!“

“I am fairly new to DW & have had 5 experiences with the Lake House. All of them top-notch. From what I have heard this resturant was troubled in the past (I cannot speak to this). The staff, manager, food, drinks & service have all been quite good. It is a relaxing establishment, relaxing atmosphere so best advice... RELAX. Enjoy, don't be rushed, sit back & chill.“

“My dad and I went here while I was visiting and one of the waiters handing out different dishes named Ramon was fabulous. He was very funny, polite and overall gave wonderful service. This was my first time here and I’ll definitely be back!! The food was great, service and atmosphere were fantastic.“

“#1 establishment in all of Sarasota county! Why? incredible team that consistently delivers this concept, with knowledge of what they offer and empowerment. Second, I always meet the coolest people here. I’ve never been anywhere else in Sarasota with 125 healthy active people showing up for a 5k run club when it’s 90+ degrees, on a weeknight (Wednesday 6pm), to run a 5k then most stay to socialize and play BINGO!!!!! This place is a tipping point for our community culture. First and last, are the amazing range of beers and wines and the bagels are the very best I can find, the foods NYC strong!“

“Super chill, cozy vibe, fun people, great coffee!“

“My son took me to Little To Jo for my birthday. It was one of the most pleasant meals out i have had in a long time. The food was exceptional and the plates were over flowing. The wait staff were courteous, smiling and trying to please. The decor was calm and you could talk to your dinner companions. I had a wonderful conversation with the table next to us. I will definitely go there again. It is one of the best restaurants in my area.“

“Keltsey, Elena, Bri are absolutely amazing, Elena had such a warming and sweet welcome at the host stand, Keltsey was holding down the bar perfectly and was making conversation with all of the guests and ensuring they were having a good time, and Bri was very attentive and was so helpful with the beer wall and the questions we had about the menu. All three girls showed amazing hospitality to us today! They were fabulous!“

“We had lunch today at Oak & Stone in North Port. Wellen Park! Great food service and pleasant atmosphere. 5 ⭐️“

“The beers are enjoyable. I like there most popular IPA. Zote This new facility is stunning and positioned right to avoid the hot sun outside.

My tab is still open. Hope you join us soon.

Tell Tony I sent you if I'm gone already
Cheers.“

“Friday night was a spectacular evening at Block 15 Cork & Craft owners Tom & Melanie were great hosts. After a week of cleaning up from Hurricane Milton and losing their power, it was ready to open their doors. They offered delicious Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Charcuterie & Cheese Boards complementary to their guests as a good gesture for the loyalty of their patronage.

We ordered a bottle of their Portuguese Silk & Spice White Blend Wine that accompanied the snacks superbly and offered a nice selection of NA Beers to one of our guests. They offered a nice selection of Wines, Beers, and Ports with their State of the Art Cruvinet Wine System that supplies you with a Fresh and Crisp Glass of Wine each and every time.

This place has a Relaxing Atmosphere with a Long Spacious Bar and plenty of Hightop Seating throughout the Bar. We brought a group of people for an evening of entertainment with our good friends Tasa+Rob, a Dazzling Musical Husband & Wife Duo that transport you back in time with the Classic Songs from the 60's, 70's, and 80's and too today's current hits.

What an evening of Fun & Entertainment, so put it on your list to Patronize Block 15 Cork & Craft and don't forget to follow the Amazing ever so Talented Tasa+Rob.
Ciao Sarasota.“

“Our FAVORITE little spot! Everyone is so nice, Bartenders are awesome, bathrooms always clean, lots of TVs, darts, pool table. Thanks for being the best!“

“can't have enough superlatives for this local fish themed restaurant. as well as fish and seafood, there are some carnivore options as well. portions and pricing attractively appointed too. give it a try. you won't b disappointed.“

“Gave this place a shot super-late one night when nothing else was open and couldn’t have been happier. The pizza was great and they keep serving food in the hours when everyone else has closed or shut down their kitchen for the night. Now that I know about it, I’d go back even when everyone else in the area is still open/serving.

Update: Ordered from them a few times since I wrote my original review (?) five years ago and my last experience was really rough. The pizza was just so poorly made and not at all up to the standards I’d come to expect from them. Hopefully it was just a fluke but it was so disappointing that I haven’t been back since. I’m only dropping my review to 4stars because of all the good experiences I had before but… that last one was pretty bad.“

“Great time with great friends.“

“Best wings ever! Dog friendly seating outside. Favorite pizza in Sarasota and a healthy roasted veggie salad“

“I’ve been here a number of times, mainly carryout.

Generally good experiences, today wasn’t so much because I felt skimped out on sauce and toppings. There are other reviews on here indicating the same issue so it does seem to be a common theme. I had ordered sort a Bella with pepperoni, and it was incredible dry, one slice had about a dimes worth of sauce on most slices. Goes needless to say: every pizza, especially your specialty pizza, should have all the toppings on each individual slice. We also ordered a supreme pizza which it feels like the toppings were barely sprinkled on.

This is one of the better spots in this neighborhood. The ingredients taste fresh, the bake is great, but it’s hard to justify $50 for two pizzas at a place that is a bit inconsistent.“

“Place is lovely, such a great view. The stir fry is phenomenal“
