35 Best Sports Bars near Longboat Key

“Fantastic Diner, We first visited Guppys when it was a Blue Shack at the side of the beach, on our second visit over to Florida a few years later, we decided go and find the little blue shack where we had an amazing fish dish with the lovely owners we found by accident and was amazed to see the transformation,, It's now a proper upmarket restaurant still with fantastic fresh food and valet parking with the same friendly family staff. Well worth a driving out to even if you're not close by, it would be the first point to visit on our return.“

“This place is an amazing hidden gem in Palmetto Florida. The staff here go out of their way to ensure that you have a great time you can use the golf simulators or watch sports. They have delicious food and are extremely reasonably priced again. This is a local hidden gem that you don’t wanna miss if you want local Palmetto flavor I would rate this easily 10 out of 10 would give 12 out of 10 if I could.“

“Raffurty's is a great neighborhood spot! The servers are always pleasant and on the ball. The drinks are generous and not watered down. The owner does a lot for the community. They do college and national sports, trivia, karaoke, Happy Hours and occasional over 50 Happy Hours. Kid friendly too. Well behaved pets love it too! Shaded, open air upper deck to enjoy cocktails and food. Sarasota's official Philadelphia Eagle's Nest too! Nice clean place, good vibes and good food! In an area of corporate type places, Raffurty's stands out as a friendly, local Sarasota spot you should check out and patronize! 👍“

“I gotta say, Alicia at Paddywagon is awesome! She’s super friendly and makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Even when the place is packed, she never lets you wait too long for a drink. Alicia knows her stuff when it comes to making drinks. She’s quick, and her cocktails are always spot on. Plus, she’s really good at remembering what you like if you’re a regular. She’s always got a smile on her face and is up for a chat, which makes hanging out at Paddywagon even better. The bar’s always clean and she handles everything like a pro, even when things get a little crazy. If you’re looking for a good time and great service, Alicia’s your girl. Go check her out at Paddywagon – you won’t be disappointed!“

“We were staying at the SpringHill Suites in Bradenton, the Oak and Stone is a restaurant on the first floor. It has good bar food and lots of different beers. You can serve yourself beer from a large number of Taps on the wall where you pay by the ounce. When crowded it gets very noisy. Seems to attract tourists and Young Folks and groups. Well worth the stop to see if it fits your style.“

I live nearby so brought my boyfriend for a leg of his Valentines Day scavenger hunt to play darts (they have 2 dart boards) & we couldn’t because they have busy dart nights. Call ahead if you have your heart set on darts. So we sat and drank an expensive Guinness! Guess that’s just the going rate these days? Very cozy place, nothing fancy, great little hole in the wall neighborhood pub.“
