7 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.“

“Went to the Gainesville chili's on Sunday afternoon and they were very busy but the two of us got seated right away. The food was great and the staff was very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. Will be returning and recommending.“

“My niece and I were in Valley View and happened upon this hidden gem of a bar. I love the two chandleliers in the bar area - nice touch! There's an excellent selection of libations, customer service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Valley View!“

“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.“

“Hope is the most conscientious bartender I have ever met. She went out of her way to make us specialty drinks. She is so knowledgeable about mixilogy and flavors. I am surprised she is here and not in a high-end restaurant in Dallas. She is amazing and so kind. Next time I am at Winstar I will come straight to the Hudson and seek her out before I go anywhere else!“

“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.“
