36 Best Sports Bars in Sarasota

“Ari and Avery were absolute awesome at the bar, entertaining and fun.
What started as a normal expectation afternoon turned into that other kind of afternoon. Their energy was high, and they gave the place energy. Glad it’s what I wanted to expect 🍻“

“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.“

“Raffurty's is a great neighborhood spot! The servers are always pleasant and on the ball. The drinks are generous and not watered down. The owner does a lot for the community. They do college and national sports, trivia, karaoke, Happy Hours and occasional over 50 Happy Hours. Kid friendly too. Well behaved pets love it too! Shaded, open air upper deck to enjoy cocktails and food. Sarasota's official Philadelphia Eagle's Nest too! Nice clean place, good vibes and good food! In an area of corporate type places, Raffurty's stands out as a friendly, local Sarasota spot you should check out and patronize! 👍“

“Great Grouper sandwich. excellent hamburgers and good French dip! Great service too!“

“Came here at the recommendation of some locals, as to the best places to watch the Buffalo Bill game. We were happy to see a large group of Bills fans, and food menu with many WNY favorites. Buffalo shrimp, Buffalo chicken dip & chips, beef on weck, and of course chicken wings, to name a few. One of each to share was the plan for each quarter, along with lots of beers. Solid plan, right? “Sorry, we ran out of wings” was the response from our server, when we tried to order just after the 1st quarter ended.😱🤯 Loved everything about this place, but seriously, how in the world does a Bills backer bar run out of chicken wings at the start of a Bills game?“

“There was a young handicapped man having lunch and the bartender as well as several waitresses stopped and spent a few minutes with him. to me that was awesome! my service and food was excellent. i will be returning there and supporting this restaurant . a job well done to all staff!“

“Always love going to Applebee's so I don't have to spend an arm and a leg to have a good meal. The 2 for $25 has plenty of great options if you want a nice sit down meal for a good price. Also the alcoholic beverages are very well priced compared to most places.“

“Had an amazing lunch at the Dunwoody location! Keke our bartender/server was Great! Amazing personality and helped me with my undecided decisions lol! We’ll definitely be back!“

Bartender Luke is absolutely amazing — a true professional, great conversationalist, and genuinely one of the highlights of this place.
Much respect to you, Luke — you really made my evening!“

“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.“

“Super cozy, local little pub. I live nearby so brought my boyfriend for a leg of his Valentines Day scavenger hunt to play darts (they have 2 dart boards) & we couldn’t because they have busy dart nights. Call ahead if you have your heart set on darts. So we sat and drank an expensive Guinness! Guess that’s just the going rate these days? Very cozy place, nothing fancy, great little hole in the wall neighborhood pub.“

“Steamer bar is a great experience. They really nail it on the seasoning. There are lots of liquor and beer options. It's a classic for sarasota.

Edit: they are still on top of their game. Great hospitality and a fun atmosphere to keep ordering drinks and things from the seafood steamer bar“

“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.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Stopped here looking for a place to kill time with our boys before a flight. Adam took care of them nonstop with Shirley Temples while we enjoyed Happy Hour adult beverages at amazing deals. Great ambiance, outdoor Florida breeze, a ton of tv’s for games, terrific drinks and outstanding service. GREAT, GREAT PLACE!!“

“Place is great for the whole family and food is good and staff is very attentive.“

“Only disappointment was paying $6.49 for an order on BWs awesome onion rings and getting home to a container with about 6.5 onion rings. That's roughly $1 per onion ring!!! That's crazy and can't understand how an individual would allow that to leave the store. It's not gonna stop me from coming back, but I'll certainly check my future orders before leaving the store.“

“You can’t have a better rare burger and service with a smile anywhere in world. Take this opinion to the bank.“

“I can’t thank event coordinator Colleen enough for helping me organize our baseball team’s party! We had an amazing time today, it couldn’t have gone any better!! Our waitress Bo was also absolutely amazing!“

“Very clean and something to do for everyone! Amazing atmosphere and the pizza was awesome! My 3 year old enjoyed it very much as well as me and my husband, we will definitely will be back! overall we were NOT disappointed ❤️“

“Amanda is absolutely amazing!! Always have a great time when she’s our server“

“Excellent quick food for my fam down the road at the doubletree. Done on time, nice and fresh. Wings were not over sauced, which just kills me. Good options for the kiddo and wife. Good sized wings and friendly people. My bar isn’t super high when I’m on vacay, but this place hits the mark. Great place to snag in house or Togo if you’re in the area!“

“Great food and atmosphere ! Love watching football there on the weekend !“
