#1 spot after before and during events downtown
great food and atmosphere.
Loved this place. Our server Bianca was fantastic. She navigated our big table with ease. Drinks and food were timely (and delicious!!!), and Bianca took great care of us. We’ll be back!

The District GastroBar offers a lively dining atmosphere with good vibes, good music, and friendly staff. It is conveniently located next to the Kia Center, making it an ideal spot for a meal and drinks before concerts or events. The menu features a variety of tasty options, including shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, huevos rancheros, gator bites, catfish bites, fish tacos, and surf and turf. Recent reviews highlight the cleanliness of the restaurant and the overall great vibe. Many guests enjoy the good food and reasonably priced drinks, with a few mentioning that dinner portions are a good amount.
While some visitors praise the friendly service, others have noted that service can be slow, especially during busy times, and food occasionally arrives cold. Reservations are recommended to avoid long waits, particularly after 1 p.m., when the restaurant becomes lively but remains comfortable. One side of the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, while the other feels more like an empty warehouse with scattered tables. Although there were some complaints about the music being a little loud and certain menu items being unavailable due to a new oven, many still appreciate the great drinks and appetizers, like lobster wonton. The District GastroBar continues to be a popular choice for brunch or casual dining, with guests often planning to return for the fun atmosphere and good food.
