12 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 best place I’ve ever ate or drank at in Florida. I’ve been here for 8 years and have had the worst service and food experience ever where I’ve gone. This place has the friendliest servers/bartenders. THE BEST BURGERS!! And it’s family own. What more could you ask for. You have try the beer cheese dip! it’s actually done correctly. Just overall the best experience I’ve had in all of Florida“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great spot! Newly felted pool tables-FREE! Pool tournament every Friday night at 7:30! Great staff! Great food!“

“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 ;)“
