“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.“

“Such a cool spot downtown, great selection of wine in a casual and easy going atmosphere! We had a great birthday celebration for a friend with a large group and we were accommodated well and had a fabulous French Rose! I highly recommend stopping here along your downtown trail for dinner and drinks! Thank you, Mark and team!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Awesome neighborhood bar!!!“

“best hole in the wall there is!!“

“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“

“Great local bar. Large indoor bar and some high-top tables. Our favorite spot is the small outdoor bar. Great bartenders. Fun crowd. Always lively conversations happening. Love the recently expanded wine selections. Be sure to sign up for the two for one offer (text alerts on various days for the two for one).“

“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 service and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Came here for a quick late night bite after flying into SRQ as there weren’t many places open past 10pm. We found this spot on Google and it was great! Delicious food and chill atmosphere. They also had lotsa tvs for games which is great. Would recommend the burger and buffalo mac & cheese!!“

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

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

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

“Cool place. Darts. Pool. Longest bar“

“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.“

“I was in Sarasota for 9 days I had a great time at this place. The bartenders were great. The patrons were awesome. And the bar back was even cool. Were im from they don't even talk to you unless they know you. They have a guy that is 57 years old bartending on Friday nights that is literally the life of the party. From introducing you to people to making sure your glass was always full. I didn't get down there my last night there but I will be back for the shirt they promised me. Until we meet again stay 😎“

“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.“

“Very friendly, welcoming bar. Come in and introduce yourself around. We like hamburger nights for an inexpensive meal, good conversation and a couple of drinks.

Jukebox, pool table. Pinball seems out of commission though. Patio.“

“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!!!“

“dive bar with attitude! great place“

“Great drinks and friendly 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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

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

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

“Yummy breakfast ! Eggs Benedict“

“Look no further. Delish!! We will definitely return. YUM-a-licious!!“

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

“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!“

“Had a great experience at the bar . Our bartender was Dom and he was wonderful, always checking to make sure we had everything and everything was okay, there was a girl (sorry I didn’t get your name, but she was excellent too) the pizza was great and then burger we had was good also. We definitely recommend this place . Never had a bad meal or experience here. Thank you Yard House !“

“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++++“

“The tea house was charming with a different t theme in every room. Service was fabulous, food was delicious, and we were served a lovely ginger licorice lemongrass tea at the end . We sat in the Alice in Wonderland room which we all loved! A special thank you to the owners for meeting our special dietary needs, for taking countless pictures for us and for making our experience one of the best!“
