33 Best Wine Bars near Lakewood Ranch

“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!“

“This place is amazing. Great food, great wine, great service and wonderful setting. Best place to eat in LWR, IMO!“

“Great place! The owner and staff are top notch. The selection is vast. They have cigars for the novice smoker all the way up to the refined. The atmosphere is relaxed and tranquil. The perfect environment to get some work done on your laptop or have a conversation.“

“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.“

A great space to enjoy live music 🎶 and friendly conversations . The decor had a bit of a retro vibe, local art decorated walls making it feel cozy, warm, and welcoming!

“It was my girlfriend 31st birthday, the night started a little sour as we had to wait over 10 mins after being seated for a waiter to greet us though they were not busy. They did apologize for the mix up and after that the night was great, from the food to the service to the atmosphere. She enjoyed her birthday and for that, thank you.“

“One of the best Italian meals I've ever eaten! Homemade pasta to die for and great service.“

“Amazing food and staff!! Outdoor dining and inside.“

“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.“

“Brunch was delicious and atmosphere is fabulous!“

“Fantastic food and service!“

“Excellent food, atmosphere and staff. Britney is excellent and our new BFF!“
