Fantastic atmosphere. Drinks were great. Lucky to snag an awesome shirt and some sweet swag to remember our evening here. Captain Coree made us amazing drinks and set a fun, laid back atmosphere. If we were locals, we'd make this our everyday bar. Will absolutely be back.

We came back to see the upgrades. Hadn't been here in a few years. The last time we were here we saw construction machines in the back and company trucks filing the parking spots. Today we saw young couples and older groups coming together. The hut looked a bit cleaner, the outside was nicer too. The food truck was outside in the lot around 7 to set up. Bathrooms were clean and the place was well lit for a night of enjoyment. When I return I will come back to see how much better it gets.

First of all, I should've written glowing reviews before posting this one. For that, I apologize. Bahi Hut has always been a favorite end of the day landing spot everytime I'm in Sarasota. The vibe is the best and I've always had excellent service from bartenders with great personalities.Unfortunately, that was not the case when I was there last week. Bartender, I think his name might’ve been Ken, not sure. I have a photo if needed.This guy is a loose canon immature and seem to have some real anger management issues. I have regularly seen him be very curt and short and rude to customers. Last week, instead of de-escalating a situation, he just about broke out into a ballroom brawl with a customer. Yes, the customers he was dealing with were abrasive and yes, he and his bartender partner was very, very busy that night but the way he dealt with it was in such an incredibly unprofessional and immature way. The guy was scary. He’s a loose cannon.The other bartender that got stuck working with him he completely crapped on. He left her completely alone on a large customer night while he went outside, presumably to blow off steam? He acted like a child that couldn't control his temper. The other bartender, I believe her name was Fawn? Her photo also available, was the epitome of professionalism, emotional intelligence, and maturity. She handled a potentially violent situation with incredible professionalism and poise. I was blown away when the out of control bartender had the gall to come back and berate her in front of customer because when asked by I think a manager why she was there alone she answered honestly. She handled the whole situation with pure professional grace and diplomacy and is to be applauded and promoted in my opinion if that’s an option.In my opinion, the bartender that went nose to nose with a customer to the cusp of fists flying is a disaster for Bahi Hut waiting to happen. He certainly appears to have hard-core has anger management/maturity issues.With all that said, I will be back. I just really, really hope this guy isn't behind the bar when I do.
