15 Best Sports Bars in Ocala

“If dive bars had spirit animals, this place would be a raccoon in a leather jacket — scrappy, charming, and somehow always the life of the party. But the real gem here is [your friend’s name], the bartender who remembers your drink faster than you remember your own name.

They’ve got that rare mix of “professional” and “therapist with a liquor license.” Whether you want to unwind, laugh, or just feel like you’re in an episode of Cheers (if Cheers had louder music and better people-watching), this is the spot.

Come for the drinks, stay because [friend’s name] makes it impossible not to. 🍻“

“Rachael was awesome 👏 she made my night after a long work day and she gave my family the dinner we needed to have a good night 💤🌙 thanks for the awesome service 😁“

“Always go here for Fries, Wings, and cheese curds, normally they are really really good. Lately though I've noticed the quality has been slipping. Fries are soggy now, curds have been burnt. Normally if wave it off as a busy day but even on slow days it's been like that.“

“Has this super handsome dread head covered in tats, I think his name was James. He was not only drool worthy but he was an amazing server. I've been in the industry for 13 yrs and he handled his section like a pro, especially taking an 8 top order and not messing anything up and he didn't write a single thing down. He is amazing, and be super thankful you have someone like him. He's amazing at his job and even better to look at it, especially that smile he flashes every so often“

“This was my first time trying the lodge. Didn't know what to expect. Me and my brother were greeted at the door, the owner came and took our drink order, explain their specials. My brother had barbecued wings and I had parmesan wings with blue cheese and ranch for dipping. I would recommend this place for sure. It was all very clean and a bright atmosphere. We talked to the owner for a bit. I apologize I forgot his name. He told us about the building, how they have the bar and the eatery pub in front. They also have a speakeasy downstairs and more music on another level and then a club on another level. I was so surprised that all that was on that property. He said they have specials that will be advertised on social media. So if you're looking for a new place to try this is a place. I'll be back again for sure. I absolutely give this place a five star for everything including atmosphere, service, and personality.“
