Easily the most interesting space in Tallahassee. Great atmosphere, very knowledgeable staff, the burrata was amazing. Impossibly, NO TVs

D Flumer

The bartender made me a Ramos gin fizz and didn’t complain once. I’m so sorry I even brought it up. But it was delicious. Favorite bar in town!

That cucumber and tomato salad that comes with the hummus plate is so good, I would pay $13 just to eat a bowl of it on its own.

Hungry? Thirsty? Why not try out one of the Best bars in Florida in 2024??

In addition to great dining out, I always appreciate a fine spot for a great beverage! Featuring great bars from the Panhandle to South Florida, ranging from a super-casual beach bar celebrated in song by the likes of Kenny Chesney and Jimmy Buffett to an upscale craft cocktail bar that occupies a former library in the state’s capital, we know you’ll enjoy some of these favorite bars in Florida.

Bar 1903, Library of Cocktails | Tallahassee

209 E. Park Ave.; 850-354-9739, bar1903tlh.com

Bar 1903, located on Park Avenue in downtown Tallahassee, is open for business. Alcohol and food are served in the historic library.

You can still imagine books on the shelves of the wood-paneled Bar 1903, Library of Cocktails, housed in the 1903-era Walker Library in the capital city. You'll find rows of glittering bottles behind the bar and small tables in the cozy 36-seat space, operated by Seven Hills Hospitality Group. Perched next the large and modern Il Lusso restaurant downtown, vintage surroundings make it a special occasion destination. Choose your drink from the hefty book of cocktails that runs from pre-1880 specialties like Sazerac and Knickerbocker, to the 2000 era Espresso Martini or the always refreshing Bees Knees, made with Yaupon gin, honey and lemon. Bar snacks include house made pimento cheese on toasted sour dough with assorted olives and nuts. It's first come first, served and can fill up fast during popular times. Happy hour runs from 5-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday. — Martha Gruender, Tallahassee Democrat
