She shouted and acted in a very harsh and disrespectful manner towards me when I had done nothing to provoke such a outcome. Will definitely not recommend a place unless u want to be treated like absolute shit

Not my cup if tea. The place was dead and I couldn't get service. The place has an unpleasant odor…read more The vibe was rather low class. Not "shabby chic" or "intentional hole in the wall", just not a place where you're going to feel comfortable on a single visit. With all the bars and restaurants in Sarasota, there is no reason to stop in. By the way, I walked out after making eye contact with a server while sitting at a table and two bartenders while standing at the bar. I went unservered. Not my thing.

Listen, I don't lie about any of my reviews. They do smoke in there, so if you're not a smoker,…read moreprobably not a good idea, but they do have good people, good conversations, and good bartenders. (JEAN was mine.)I haven't tried much of their menu. It's very small, but it's bar food, I've tried their burgers they are pretty damn good and my husband tried the chili for the first time, and he's definitely having it again outside of that. It's just like any typical dive. As a matter of fact, yesterday night after I got off Work, I was came in said hi to the owner and she bought me a drink. Can't beat that. I was only there for probably 45 minutes enough for two drinks and didn't hear no F bombs, which was nice. Looks can be deceiving.

I stopped by the Lost Kangaroo Pub and grabbed a lime carbless seltzer honestly tastes like Sprite,…read moreso yes, very happy. I didn't get any food and I'm not sure if they even have it. Service was super friendly and quick, Rico at the bar, hope I spelled that right, hooked us up right away. It probably helped by the fact that it was daytime so not at all crowded. Dive bar vibes for sure, but it's bigger than I would expect for a dive. Tons of games like pool, darts, pinball, and even a beer pong machine for two players, never seen that before, but surprisingly fun. Machines were about a dollar a game, so nothing crazy. Street parking was free for a couple hours where I was and there's indoor and outdoor seating. Women's bathroom had some hilarious messages and divorce dad music playing constantly. I liked it, my mom, not so much. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area and want a to just chill and drink.

It was really hot outside (July) and even though the venue had its large doors open, the air conditioning kept it very comfortable. The bartender was friendly and the full liquor bar is actually covered by palms to give it a tiki-hut 'look'. There are 12 beer taps, lots of pool tables, a juke box, big screen t.v.'s, and smoking is welcome inside. Add in clear plastic beer cups, a men's room without a mirror, lots of JORTS, and you're officially in this dive bar. But that's ok because it's fun, and prices are decent. What to do: Grab a seat at the bar, order a beer, and relax What NOT to do: Order a martini
