13 Best Pubs in Sarasota

“We play Monday night trivia and the large menu has something for every mood and palette. The food is good and the bar is well stocked. Wonderful waitresses and staff. Every week we compliment Geckos.“

“Great staff, food was yummy“

“The bun on the burger tasted stale to me. Not busy at lunch. Was a go to for a great burger, so many other choices these days. Our server got the order right but had zero personality. A little smile and energy when you approach and greet a table is always a good start.“

“I love having breakfast here after I’m on the water fishing in the morning Jamison’s, corn beef hash and Keylime pie“

“Great wee pub here with fun bartenders, free pool, good traditional British food and their full English breakfast is delicious. They have all the games European sports and US. The best part is their chandelier it is worth the visit alone!“

“Had a party of eleven. Put in a request for a table to accommodate and when we got there it was ready. Great variety to choose from on the menu...everyone enjoyed their meal. Server Lindsey was fantastic, she kept our refills without having to ask and was extremely pleasant.“

“Awesome spot to hang out. They have awesome food with the best prices around. There are always delicious specials on the board by the bar. They have darts, chess, and tons of board games. Sometimes they have baseball games on which is one of my favorite things about the place. There’s also live music and trivia on weeknights and it’s a blast! Highly recommend.“

“Great bar! Love the vibe. New favorite spot.“

“Happened across Scalawags after doing a quick Google search of the name while in Sarasota area. Came in about noon on a Wed, just a few mixed age locals there, friendly people, fun and good laughs! Mainly a pool tables and electronic games type bar, dimly lit. Kitchen opens about noon, had a beer on tap and ordered the Grouper Sub, which was great - would get it again. Had another beer. Cash only for Papa Ron's food menu. Bar service is Scalawags, pay separately from food - works for them and me - no problem. Will return!!BTW - The Scalawags name came to mind because of the recent Gasparilla fest in Tampa and also because there is a Scalawags Whiefish & Chips in Mackinaw City, MI that a good friend of mine created, owned and operated for 30 years - serves the BEST fresh-caught Great Lakes Whitefish anywhere! So if you ever go there - you won't be disappointed there either!“

“Our FAVORITE little spot! Everyone is so nice, Bartenders are awesome, bathrooms always clean, lots of TVs, darts, pool table. Thanks for being the best!“

“My sister came to visit, she's an avid electronic dartboard player. so I went on line and found Coleman's Tavern has several dart machines, we went there for drinks and darts and met a lot of nice people. Coleman's is a nice little neighborhood bar with friendly people and good service. if I lived closer I would frequent there often.“

“This is my drunk honest opinion, if you don’t like cigs get outta hereeee. Vibe is great tbh, the people who come here really don’t give af so just be yourself. Don’t bring lameos here, they got full bar, sports on tv, pool table, touch tunes. Bartenders chill af. Come here with your friends and catch up. Leave your partners at home. Eat popcorn and smoke a cig. Watch out for the step outside ;)“

“Meadows village pub it's bob it's a great little hidden place, Great atmosphere, a lot of fun and the food you can tell it's a freshly made . This is my third Time with my friends, all the dishes were great. Awesome, awesome muscles in wine garlic sauce.Great burgers and the salads to die for.“
