50 Best Bars near Siesta Key

“Wonderful & friendly staff. Great burgers“

“Love it here! Best food ever!“

“Food was great and drinks were great. Service was terrible, waitress (young blonde girl) never checked on us, always on her phone and asked for a box and she sat at a table and got on her phone instead.“

“I had an amazing experience at 99 Bottles! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and they have a fantastic selection of drinks for everyone. But what really made our visit stand out was Bart, our server.

From the moment we sat down, Bart went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. He knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and had the perfect mix of professionalism and personality. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and cares about his customers. Our food came out quick, our drinks stayed full, and he checked on us often without ever feeling intrusive“

“WOW! We went last night while in town for a soccer tournament in Tampa.. Drove out to Sarasota to visit family and my cousin suggested here... and WOW the food was AMAZING! The service was FANTASTIC. The atmosphere was even better. This place is a must while in town!“

“Amazing ambiance and food! Beautiful decor and the culinary presentation is top notch! Anthony Bourdain would be impressed! Julianna was wonderful!“

“Really Great Food ,and service.“

“Bar Hana is a wonderful place. Cocktails, food, atmosphere and service are each excellent and consistent. Classy yet casual. If you are a seasoned patron of establishments which fit this mold you will recognize the poor reviews for what they are. Bar Hana should be on your short list for a visit to Sarasota.“

“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.“

“Fantastic spot! We went there for lunch today and had a great time. The food was spot on. I wish I had the downtown dip right now! We will be back!“

“Loved this place for 20 years!❤️“

“i love it ..safe place clean and very friendly people .. 😇😇😇“

“Great staff. Family atmosphere like "Cheers". Bartenders are mixologists. Great prices and Specials. Karaoke. Pool and darts with specials on both. Foosball and dome hockey as well.“

“Great food and staff!! Our favorite spot on Siesta Key. Go Buckeyes!!“

“My husband and I visited for the first time in October during our 3 week vacation. I cannot say good enough things about this place! The people there are so friendly and welcoming in true Irish spirit! The food was amazing and worth every penny spent! We even got to talk with the owner while we were there…both times. It was so good that we made sure to go back a second time before we came back home to Ohio. I’m so sorry we didn’t check the place out our first week there because that probably would have become our second home while we were there! Eileen is awesome!“

“First time I’ve ever walked in a restaurant and immediately felt like family. The Monkafella Oysters were amazing. The shrimp mmmm so good. The drinks were outstanding. The service was amazing as well. Me and wife already made plans to go back again next. Seen the bill and didn’t even care that’s how good the whole experience was. Thank you!!!!“

“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.“

“This is my tipsy honest opinion, this place is poppin for a Wednesday. It’s 6:30 and everyone is here. They have pool and darts complementary water bottles ;). This is a wine based bar though, they have good beers and seltzers so I would stick to that. Is also more of a homey family vibe. Seems like everyone here knows eachother.“

“Cool place. Darts. Pool. Longest bar“

“best hole in the wall there is!!“

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

“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.“

“Alex at Office Bar SQ is super efficient, attentive, and has high energy, I would recommend this bar if you want a relaxed atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Outstanding. First time customer. Fabulous across the board. I’ll be back. Again .... outstanding.“

“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!“

“Great service and atmosphere“

“Great Aerie. Very friendly. Welcome us visitors. Would recommend.“

“We were down in Sarasota and it was a light night for the bar but we truly enjoyed that atmosphere and artwork on the walls.
We have a gay bar in largo very similar but this was unique with the art on the walls of the hallway.
Next time I hope they have a bigger crowd.“

“Food was amazing and they even have an amazing selection of non-alcoholic beers. Our server, Jenna, was fantastic! And Mark, the bartender, was able to make some great drink recommendations. We got the fried goat cheese appetizer which was so melty and creamy and SO good with the fig jam. I got the Kona burger and my friend got the lobster grilled cheese special. The grilled cheese was amazing! We would absolutely come back for another good time and amazing service.“

“It is an excellent place to meet awesome local winners and is supper-friendly. I have been going here most of the week when I am in town. It is a lovely wine store and “a testing wine bar.“

“Best bar in all of Sarasota!!!!
It's a local spot with true regulars that have been coming here for over a decade!!!
Good ole Charlie may he rest in peace😢
But Jake and Millie some of the OG bartenders still there I love them both!!!“

“Great drinks and friendly staff!“

“dive bar with attitude! great place“

“Great drinks and friendly staff!“

“I had to flag down and one time waited 5 minutes before anyone asked me for another while my empty sat at refill position on the bar. But you might get better service or noticed if you are better looking I suppose. But they where very friendly and made very good drinks.“

“Love the bartenders, especially Nick, Alyssa and Pablo. They always make sure to take care of you and make you feel seen. Weekends are definitely busier but it’s always a good vibe. If you’re looking for a dive bar that gives you everything a dive bar can, this is the right spot. Coming from a local this is my go to bar. Love moondoggys!!!!“

“This was my first visit to 8 Ball Lounge..
I was very impressed with all of the options, games, service and management.
The GM, David, kept a great pulse on a very diverse clientele while supporting two amazing bartenders, Ms. Kate & Ms. Anna... both of whom were obviously veterans of their jobs and experts of their craft.
Dart league, pool league, Golden Tee, Punching Bag and a very clean atmosphere!!!
Highly recommend this establishment and staff!!“

“Here during Spring '01, was passing through Sarasota, however stayed at the Tiny's Homes. Looked for placed that stayed open late...trek'd there, after a few down the hole trek'd back to the Tiny's. Good tunes, cool locals and just good ol fun.“

“Wonderful experience. Can't wait to go back.“

“I had a wonderful experience at the rooftop thanks to Rio’s excellent service. From the moment I arrived, Rio made me feel welcomed and taken care of. Attentive without being intrusive, friendly yet professional, and always one step ahead of what I needed — that kind of service makes all the difference“

“Amazing sundown experience. Started my afternoon at the Tiki bar which was a good call. They were short staffed and helping with orders on the beach. Though Solo, it was a semi quiet bar family and children friendly. Shout out to (Joe) who attended to me and was very attentive. After my meal I went to lounge. Beach waiters were attentive as well i.e water bucket and umbrella etc. I felt well attended to though I did not require much. I want to applaud management towards the etiquette and team spirit the men and women had. I could hear many complaints of orders being skipped or taking too long, yet felt the crew did thier best by compensating in other area's. I do have to say to update the beach lounge chairs they are very uncomfortable.“

“Wow Wow Wow! Absolutely delicious and authentic Italian food! I never order pasta from a pizza joint... I'm way too serious about my pasta. I took a chance on Capo as I'd had a slice of their eggplant pizza and it was fabulous. I orded the rigatoni bolognese, and requested penne as a substitute. It was heaven. The sauce was perfect - the amount of garlic was subtley handled as was the rest of the seasoning. No bitterness and not too sweet either. You can tell the sauce had been cooked awhike and not rushed. The meat was high quality and the coupe de gras was to burrata! A huge helping of cheese right in the middle of the dish. The serving was huge... I only needed it for myself and I got 3 meals from it. Of course as all pasta lovers know it was even better the second day. I had the good fortune to be offered a meatball to try by the owner. I went back the next week for an order of meatballs and tried the gnocchi. Highly highly highly recommend giving this place a try!!!“

“Great place for entertainment! The outdoor tiki is fantastic and the staff are friendly and attentive“

“The buffet on Saturdays is excellent!“

“Yummy breakfast ! Eggs Benedict“

“Amazing from start to finish! Had dinner last night with 4 other ladies and EVERY single dish was my favorite! So hard to choose! The drinks, the service, the menu, the food…couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Don’t miss this place if you’re in town! Thank you Chef Jeremy!“

“Vibe is vibing!!! Great place and excellent service.“

“I recently hosted a group dinner at the Mellow Mushroom in Sarasota for 80 Sarasota High School baseball players and their moms and it was AMAZING!!! Everyone had such a great time! The food was delicious! Service was awesome! And dinning area and set-up were perfect and for our group! We'll definitely be back! Owner, Karen Atwood, is so supportive of our team! She's awesome!“

“Fresh herbs on wood fired pizza. So good! Alex (our waiter) went out of his way to ensure a stellar dining experience. A++++“
