“I always get great service from the bartenders. Teagan is especially great. Always going out of her way to make everyone feel welcomed and she is more than attentive. I come back just to see her because she is amazing and knows all her stuff.“

“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!“

“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! 👍“

“Ok so I go to Applebee's to pick up my sisters to go order and after talking to the bartender and restaurant manager we soon realized my sister ordered online with a different Applebee's and I Said I can't be driving way over there tonight because it was getting a little late! They said, " Oh no, we will make it for you and have it ready in a few minutes!" Well, they did! I think I waited 15 minutes at the most and it was perfect food and they were very accommodating and efficient! Thanks, guys!“

“Great friendly place, best thin crust pizza ever“

“My husband had chicken burger quesidia and he was pleased. My dinner, Three cheese chicken Alfredo was less than pleasing. When I received my dinner I could immediately tell the pasta was very dry and overcooked. I was not about to send it back. That’s definitely asking for trouble. So I tried to eat it, but it was like eating plain pasta. I asked the waiter if he could possibly get me some Alfredo as my pasta dish is very dry. He returned with a little black plastic cap of Alfredo sauce. It was maybe a tablespoon of sauce for a bowl of pasta. I thought about asking for another spoonful but didn’t see waiter again and my meal was cold and pasta stuck together. I asked for a take home container and figured I would throw some cheese and butter on it a second time. The chicken on the dish was good. \nHere’s the best part…..get the bill and I was charged $2.00 for a tablespoon of Alfredo sauce. I could not believe it. When the cook seen how dry the pasta was, he should have put enough so that the pasta wasn’t stuck together in clumps. You honestly couldn’t see any white sauce when I received my dish. But to add a $2.00 charge for a tablespoon of sauce is really out of line. Will not be going here again. For $18.99 I could have gone to a nice Italian restaurant and had real pasta Alfredo. \nTried to patronize Applebees but once and done.“

“Best oysters I have ever had and I have been a oyster connoisseur for at least 35 years from when I lived in maryland. The oysters are humongous and that is so rare to find these days. Very friendly work team and you can see that they are very happy to be there and they are proud of what they offer to the customers. I went there for the first time last month and look forward to going back again. The high quality oysters have spoiled me where I will not go anywhere else now for oysters. Once you have monks oysters, you won't go back to any place else.“

“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.“

“Went there with a party of 28 people sat night they accommodated us within 45 minutes! Our Server Joe was exceptional extremely accommodating professional and extremely quick! His manager a female and I am sorry I can't remember her name was also out of this world accommodating professional and extremely kind! I just want ti thank both of you for a wonderful evening and we will definitely be back!!! Thanks Bacon“

“We were there Friday evening and the service was great. Jasmine was the one serving us. Very polite, cheerful and made sure that we were happy with our meals“

“10/10 recommend! Rese is the best ask for her if you want great service 🩷“

“We went for Burger special Night on Tuesday! Jess was our bartender, she was very attentive! I ordered the Fin & Tonic burger and my husband ordered the Southwest Burger, both came out looking amazing, the French fries were hot and nice and crispy, burgers were great, I was so full I couldn’t finish mine but they were both awesome!!“

“Great staff, food was yummy“

“NBT is the Best place in Sarasota to watch Bucs Games! Cold beer, friendly staff and most importantly Tampa Bay Buccaneer Fans! I think I saw Gronk there last weekend talking about coming out of retirement.“

“Great service and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

“I stumbled on this gem after googling for a restaurant near me that wasn’t a chain or overpriced. I didn’t expect to choose a sports bar, but it’s the best decision I’ve made since I moved to Sarasota a year ago. I had a lb of the chicken thigh fingers with half of their Outback flavor (a must try if you like a little spice) and the other half in mango habenero. I also had an order of the curly fries. Total: $13 bucks. I would’ve paid twice that. The flavors just bursts into your mouth! The sauces tastes homemade and the texture was just right. The atmosphere was top tier with a friendly bartender who seems to be well liked by the regulars. I will definitely make this my guilty pleasure of the month. I love supporting a family establishment, especially one who is a “Friends”sitcoms lover!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 ❤️“
