Our usual spot to have a great time with friends. The service is excellent, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and everything is fantastic. They have great deals and prices. If you go alone, you'll still have fun because everyone is very friendly, and you'll easily find someone to make a good conversation.

My favorite bar when I come to Sanford. Cool vibe and great drinks! Wait staff are very nice. Make reservations as it is very small and intimate.

Awesome hidden tiki bar in the back of Tuffy's Bottle Shop in historic (and brewery-rich) Sanford, FLA! The Orlando area is home to several awesome tiki bars (with the Polynesian Resort's Trader Sam's being the most famous) and Suffering Bastard is well worth the trip to Sanford if you are anywhere in the area! Tiny, but amazing, tiki bar that will transport you to the Golden Age of tiki! Great staff (shout-out to Clay), bar and cozy booth seating, and an awesome menu of tiki cocktails! The kind of place where you could easily waste an evening in the best possible way! Make a rez or get there early to get on the list, as Suffering Bastard is not to be missed!

Hands down one of the best built out tiki bar, it packs a lot into a small space! The drinks are killer, haven't had one that I didn't like!

Another stop on my October tiki tour, finally made it to the infamous Suffering Bastard, way out in Sanford, FL.
Hidden inside Tuffy's Music Box by a thin red line is a nondescript door leading to a hidden gem.
The bar is through and through tiki, oozing with exotica and charm. The menu is chalked full of nice original cocktails and spins on the Don and Vic classics.
Don't miss the astronaut, or Vic's bastard as namesake, and be sure to leave with a DD. The small bites were great, and even though it was small, the ambiance was everything.
5/5, make sure you hit this spot before it moves locations to Orlando.

We felt the drinks had lots of ice. I know drinks have ice but most places use the sonic ice the absorbs liquid and not solid kind. We also loved the honesty of the waitress when asked about a sauce that came with the furikake fries. Both were tasty. Overall we enjoyed the experience.

Amazing little hidden tiki bar, some of the best classic tiki drinks I have ever had Mitchell is a true craftsman behind the bar.
I'm usually a dive-bar kind of guy but I was motivated to find something a little nicer tonight. I stopped in solo and ordered a Mai Tai. The cocktail was magnificent! Multi-dimensional... The variety of flavors combined with the well-chosen garnishes delivered a fantastic ride. After a long week, being able to drop the phone and bask in the experience was exactly what I needed. Note: If you're in a hurry, this is not the place for you. It takes time to craft these cocktails. Slow your roll or you'll be frustrated. It's worth the wait, or they'll make it right. Really.

You would never expect this to be inside tuffys. It’s such a cool and chill place. The service is always great and the menu is so extensive there’s amazing options with even better great, creative and fun drinks. Come to this “speakeasy” and have your mind blown!

This place blew my mind! Great drinks, excellent service, and delicious food. Quaint, great decor that really transports you. Drinks were uniquely tiki! Nice selection, knowledgeable bartenders, and good food selection. Too bad they're not open earlier, but that's maybe a blessing 😉. It's inside Tuffy's Music Box.

This little place was amazing. I've been to bigger tiki bars with less charm. The drinks were amazing, the bar tenders friendly and the laid back atmosphere was nice. Plus, the cost of the drinks was great. Not over priced but certainly craft cocktails. We had two of the original drinks, and can't wait to try more. We will come back every time we are near here, no doubt

Should go before they move, they always make the most amazing drinks ever. They don't need my review, just show up and don't let the class I II or III drinks fool you. They are ALL amazing. (My fav moonkist coconut/last rites)
