Michelle was the best!! If the bar didn’t have exactly what I wanted she’d customize it to me,! So attentive and made sure that everyone at the bar was very happy and had what they needed.
She’s a reason why people will come back to the bar

Great spot for pool, darts, and drinks!
GINOOOOO & SEVREN are the best bartenders in Sarasota hands down. Attentive and funny and kind and great music taste. Will definitely be back when in Sarasota. They deserve a raise if possible.
