How do you take my phone number down and never call me for a seat? I’m glad I wasn’t hungry or thirty. Then again, it was a predominantly different atmosphere but I digress.

I went on Friday the 30th and Zach was phenomenal. Absolutely exemplary service and phenomenal quality of drinks. Can't wait to come back.

Unbelievable experience had the highest expectations. Typical bar clearly stretched and being unable to make ends meet. Drinks come half full literally the bartender watched me pour two drinks together to make a complete drink only to laugh to another person at the bar what I was doing. Highly do not recommend.

My favorite cocktail bar in Tallahassee. Amazing service always, with a great selection of drinks and knowledgeable bartenders to make anything you like! Both the bread board and spread board are amazing. The place is small so either get there early or call ahead to get on the list, but the minimal tables adds to the cozy atmosphere.

Bar 1903 has fantastic ambience and the bartenders are very knowledgeable and have always given us excellent drink recommendations. I love how the menu is structured with drinks from different time periods.

Located in a beautifully restored historic building, Bar 1903 delivers an unforgettable cocktail experience that goes well beyond your typical night out. The vibe is cozy and intimate, with thoughtfully crafted drinks that span classic and creative styles — from vintage classics to unique concoctions like the Knickerbocker Zombie you tried. The bartenders are friendly and clearly knowledgeable, making each drink feel like a work of art. 
We paired our drinks with small bites like baba ghanoush and rarebit, which hit the spot alongside the cocktails. The snack options are perfect for sharing while sipping, though most of the praise online leans toward the drinks as the real star. 
The atmosphere — set inside what once was an old library — adds a unique charm that feels both historic and lively. Seating is quite limited, so it’s worth arriving early to snag a spot. Overall, it’s a must-visit spot for cocktail lovers in Tallahassee looking for quality drinks, great service, and a memorable evening.

The BEST stop in Tally! We come here every December, and there is no better. Stop for amazing, delicious, local crafted food and drinks then bar 1903! Tia and the team are phenomenal hosts, it is a great atmosphere, and wonderful history in this place. Absolutely love it and would recommend 100%. Do not miss out on the opportunity to have a fabulous cocktail, a delicious light bite, or the best caprese sandwich of your life! Y'all let us know if you are ever in Manatee County, we would love to host you! ❤️
Love this place. Can’t beat the atmosphere. Drink menu seems to have no limits. Pressed Italian was probably the best sandwich I’ve had in Tallahassse and I’ve been here for 26 years. Country bacon and Jalapeño grilled cheese came in a a close second.
Definitely coming back. OK

They don’t staff this place well. I always enjoy my drinks and food, but they have big city prices with small town service. Tables do not get bussed, waters don’t get refreshed, ordering is more like begging because the servers are stretched too thin, drinks take 15 minutes because theres one bartender making intricate drinks for a room of 40 people.
Once again great food and drinks but the lack in service quality makes bitter the yummy flavors.
Very cute 😍
