“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.“

“#1 establishment in all of Sarasota county! Why? incredible team that consistently delivers this concept, with knowledge of what they offer and empowerment. Second, I always meet the coolest people here. I’ve never been anywhere else in Sarasota with 125 healthy active people showing up for a 5k run club when it’s 90+ degrees, on a weeknight (Wednesday 6pm), to run a 5k then most stay to socialize and play BINGO!!!!! This place is a tipping point for our community culture. First and last, are the amazing range of beers and wines and the bagels are the very best I can find, the foods NYC strong!“

“Bar Hana and Kojo are my favorite to restaurants in Sarasota. The quality of the food and cocktails are unmatched. Everything is fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. The ambiance in Bar Hana is so tropical and relaxing.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food was delicious. Charging $5 for bread is rediculous, especially at an Italian resturant.
Server 1026/Parker was very bland. Such as when I asked about soft drinks, he said we have pepsi products. I asked if he could elaborate, such as which pepsi products. My wife asked if the resturant had lattes or cappuccino. He said yes, but again did not elaborate. Basically, he had no personality. Seemed like he was just hitting a server check mark. I can get this behavioral at McDonald's.“

“Absolutely delicious! Very authentic food. Clean, casual, friendly, busy (make a reservation!) Menu is concise. Not overwhelming. Everything on the menu we had was outstanding. Prices very reasonable. Large portion sizes. Beer and wine menu. MUST TRY ?“

“Lots of sports and excitement during football season.“

“Definitely a nice little place, don't know how I really feel about it being that there were some questionable individuals there. However the bartender was very nice and definitely keeps watch over her bar and definitely cpuld tell she kept an eye out for the women which is a really good bartender if you ask me.But To be fair about seeing the questionable dudes I was there briefly to pick up my "lady":) ? after she had some drinks with some friends. So I highly doubt that's the Norm. Bar is clean and doesn't smell like a or look like a hole in the wall next time I will spent a little more time there .“

“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!“

“Was visiting from out of town when we stumbled into this establishment. The bartenders and patrons were very friendly. I had inquired about a specialty drink (Surfer on Acid) and instead of brushing me off, they took the time to look up the recipe and delivered on my request. Thanks for the hospitality!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service and atmosphere“

“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.“

“My home bar. Followed the owner from Will's Honky-tonk to Stragglers 13 year's ago 21 year's of history and friendship.These people are not just friends they're family.“

“Good local hang out. Nice patrons. No crazy, drunken, stumbling, spilling drinks on you types. Drunk, yes. Frat party atmosphere, no. Late 20s through mid 40s crowd. It's Sarasota, so a few older. Beer and wine only. Fridge full of Twisted Tea, White Claw, those types of drinks. Let's you bring in food--we brought in pizza. No smoking inside. Outside high top tables, inside table area and bar, and one FREE pool table in the back. Wish the music was a little louder, but with all the fun talking you have to talk loud anyway. Concrete floor, bathrooms sanitary. Let's you run a tab. Overall chill, good ol' boy, welcoming, local spot.“

“What a great place! Just stopped in on the way home from work with Max. Great folks. Looked like an awesome draft beer selection! Will definitely be going back. Can’t wait!“

“First of all, if there is anyone else who has a OCD about bathrooms. Whether at home or in public then you'll appreciate this one. Stopped to have a drink with a girlfriend of mine and needed to use the restroom.. I had to turn around look make sure I was still in 57 tavern because there bathroom beyond immaculate. The bar tender Jessica, She is on point..I live around the corner but normally drive a distance to another bar. Until today. Ill definitely be back. Thanks Jessica“

“It's a place that seems to always have something to do. They allow guests to visit twice at no charge and then you have to become a member.Membership and drinks are inexpensive and as a member you can enter in all their activities with daily, weekly, and monthly drawings as well as rolling dice for free drinks. Me and my wife go and sing Karaoke every other Thursday with two KJs that keep the two microphones sanitized as well as getting your favorite song up in a rotation that runs fast and smooth and gives you a good chance of singing three or four songs in a rotation.Bartender are strict with membership rules but are also very friendly..“

“Anytime I'm in the area I have to stop by. Been drinking at that bar for 20 years and it's changed owners but my feeling toward the place hasn't. Shot n a beer with a good conversation and you may catch a game on. Even got offered pizza last time I was there. Great place.“

“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.“

“Great drinks and friendly staff!“

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

“i went to this place for my best friends 21st birthday. we got a cabana and ordered drinks and food and just sat by the pool. Matt was so attentive and was even bringing us things we didn't ask for. It was so hot up there and he brought everyone towels with ice in it to keep us cool. He was so sweet and made the experience overall so much better. The atmosphere and view was amazing and the drinks and food were pretty good. I definitely would recommend coming here during the week with some friends.“

“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.“

“The seafood sampler was delicious- the scallops melt in your mouth like butter. The ocean scampi was good, but the garlic was a bit overpowering. Pleasant staff and comfortable outdoor seating… it was nice for a higher end meal.“

“Great little hole in the wall, small but great place to go and hang out to enjoy a drink.Bar staff was amazing, and there was great hospitality.Highly recommended.They have a great selection of dartboards, full tables, and shuffle board available.. Huge selection of draft beers and mix drinks.“
