6 Best Bars near Gainesville

“Great food. Good service. Good value. Well worth the visit.“

“I had a hunch this place was the real deal the moment I stepped out of my truck. The aroma of freshly smoked meat mixed with sweet and tangy BBQ flavor inundated the gravel parking lot. A scent so overwhelmingly captivating, I couldn’t help but follow it to its source. I walked through the front doors of 902 and was immediately greeted by a charismatic waiter who promptly served us drinks. The menu was concise, yet powerful. Along with the atmosphere, all menu items complemented a cold beer and a sports game. I went with the brisket grilled cheese sandwich, served on 100% USDA Texas Toast. Mouthwatering is an understate, to say the least. After I consumed my fair share in cheesy caloric delight, the owner came out and greeted us with a warm smile, and freshly smoked chicken. My favorite part about this establishment is its commitment to keeping things simple, yet refining its craft through friendly employees, quality ingredients, and a home town feel. I look forward to my next visit.“

“I can't speak highly enough of our server Audri!! She was absolutely amazing 👏 She was friendly, attentive, efficient and thorough! She even went above and beyond, meeting our needs before we even realized what they were! I have never had a waitress so good at her job that it left me speechless or even wanting to leave a review! Please applaud her and cherish the rarity of such a hard worker! She is truly one of a kind! ❤️“

“Josh and Trevor or Trevor and Josh (they fight over who's first) are amazing bartenders. Informative and welcoming, whether passing through or staying in valley view this is the place to stop and enjoy some creative moonshine and drink creations. Or have a solid bourbon or vodka. Sit next to the distillery and bask in the ambience. Small town feel, big town quality. Highly recommend.“

“When you need to get away from the psychotropic lights and the ptsd level rings of the casino, this is the place to go. Not to mention that the bartender free pours!!! Great personable staff! If you take care of your bartenders, they will take care of you.“

“Terrific waitress named Sierra very friendly and prompt on refilling drinks. I had the baked potato soup & it was the best I have ever had.“
