A list of the best places to get your drink on in Sarasota.
Sarasota invests itself in the area’s arts and culture scene, and that means beer too. Gastronomes across the city are excited to brew their way to the top, or at least feature great local beers. There’s no argument that Sarasota’s vibe helps inspire restaurants to serve the best cocktails and craft the best beers. And we get to benefit by sampling them all! Enjoy our top five places to enjoy a cold one with friends.
Café Epicure
Knock it out of the park on date night at this elegant bar. Slim cocktails match the atmosphere with the rustic style of the bar. The bites are delectable, but you’re here for the drinks, so we recommend the Irony Merlot and the La Chouffe beer.
The Gator Club
When you’re looking for live acts, look no further than here. Local bands such as Pitbull Toddler and Johnny Diamond tear up the stage while you sample some of their brews. If you can handle the heat, try the Big Top Hotter Blonde, with honey and jalapeno mixed in. If you’re really feeling the heat, try karaoke night!
Pangea Alchemy Bar
Pangea has been stirring up crafty cocktails with a witchy vibe ever since its inception in 2010. A funky atmosphere stuffed with cozy seats and couches, they serve everything from classic mixes,wine and spirits, to alcohol free stuff for your DD. Ask the bartender for the Fjara Flip – it’s funky, like you.
Shamrock Bar
Home to some great sports events and friendly rivalries, this is the spot to go for craft beer and friendly competition. As the name would imply, they host a great St. Patricks Day party, too! A note-this bar is cash only, so make sure that you have some singles on you before you stop by.
Evie’s Tavern On Main
A bowling alley for grownups – can it get any better than that? Rent a lane for a few hours and see if you can beat your friends in a few games. Land a strike with the Cigar City Jai Alai or the Leinenkugel’s Seasonal.
