What an amazing experience! The food, service, and ambiance were all exceptional. They offer delicious $5 Bloody Marys and $5 mimosa specials made with fresh-pressed orange juice, which were the perfect start to our meal. The homemade cheese sticks were absolutely incredible--honestly the best I've ever had! We are actually going back this week to try the crab cakes. It's another item that everybody has been raving about. We can't wait to try them! The owner is so friendly and kind, and the entire waitstaff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. If you're looking for great food, amazing drinks, and outstanding hospitality, this place is a must-visit. We can't wait to come back and try those Maryland Crab cakes. read more

A small bar/restaurant located in historic downtown Venice. The menu had some really good options from wraps, burgers, to salads. I got their Hail Mary, which is a pasta dish. It was fabulous. There are a few booths with small tvs. Our waitress, Bianca, was super nice, friendly, and attentive. We are definitely going to try to go again before we leave the area. read more

How this place has less than 5 stars is beyond me. The service was outstanding, the food was outstanding, the owners were outstanding, and holy cow, they thanked us for our business. Venice is notorious for tourist trap bars and restaurants where they couldn't care less if you liked their service, food, or atmosphere, because they know a new tourist will be sitting in your same seat tomorrow. This place actually gets it and it shows all the way around. I've been in Florida my whole life and in this area for almost 30 years, the number of places I won't go to out numbers the places I will. Kudos to the owners and staff on what they've created here. Oh yeah, and the sandwich was enough for two. read more

Cool sports bar on the main drag on the island, super pumped to have a place like this downtown! Classic sports bar vibe with a nice sized bar and soooo many TVs at every angle, the booths even have personal tv's. The owner coach rob was super friendly and came around to everyone to check in on them, giving it a real family run feel. The food was also really good! I split the Ruben and the Philly with my grandpa and we were satisfied with both. My grandma is gluten free and loved her cauliflower pizza. They are still brand new and working through some things as any new restaurant would but we will absolutely be back, especially for a game day. The happy hour also looked to have great deals on there as well. read more

Did not eat but had drinks. Service was great, staff super friendly. Lots of TV's to watch all of the sports. Nice place! read more

Went for lunch.Big guy greets us with 10.00 burgers. Came w fries, slice of tomato and small cut up pieces of lettuce. Asked for onion and a pickle. Charged 13.95 for burger and .50 for the onion and pickle. Wasn't worth the hassle. read more

Went here for lunch. Ordered the crab cake sandwich. Very good one of the best crab cakes I have had in a long time. I will definitely go back. read more

Yo u guys know me, if I could give zero stars I would. Came here to watch Tiafoe and Shelton. I mean it's a sports bar. They kept changing the channel to some guy shaving in a commercial and when I asked for it to go back to the tennis channel, the "owner" big Jenn lost her shit. Actually yelled at me! I'm a local who supports the bar all year round. And invited guests to our local island sports bar. That was my mistake. You know Jenn - I guess what they say is true. You can take the girl out of the trailer park.....You are a rude and a terrible bar owner. Buh bye! read more

Boneless wings are awesome! Finally a place that has real boneless wings. Fries are good too. Cool vibes in this place. read more

His steak Egg rolls and Crab Cakes are really good!! His Philly and southern style green beans are so good as well. Love the staff and ambiance. It's a very busy place so be patient as they get their groove in. You can see his passion in the food he makes. He will do great there. read more

The food was pretty good, I had the Ruben. It was a little greasy but tasty. The service was lacking though. Our waitress was just as nice as could be but slow. I don't think they expected to be so busy on a Monday night. And lastly, don't plan on being able to hear conversations. It is very loud inside. It would be helpful to have ceiling tiles or something to absorb the sound! All in all I'd go back maybe in the afternoon for a quick bite but probably not at night with a group. (Sadly they do not carry a variety of beer. My friend likes Amber Ale and we have had a hard finding a place that carries one.) read more

Beer battered Haddock and Philly steak were amazing fries were awesome !! My friend said corned beef was amazing too .. My sister got the lobster roll was hoping to get a buttered bun but nonetheless super good and plentiful. Stephanie the waitress was great. They still need time to organize a bit but I think season is kicking their but . read more

Lisa was super attentive and such a great staff you have! Do not lose this fun and personable lady! Coming back just see her! Btw. Food awesome! Crab cakes are the bomb! Hands down you are rocking this! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Coach's Bar & Grill! The fresh-squeezed orange mimosas were absolutely delicious, and the Bloody Mary was one of the best we've had. The cheese sticks were perfectly crispy, hot, and so flavorful. What really made our visit special was the owner. Being from Michigan, we loved making that connection, and he was incredibly personable and welcoming. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and creating a great atmosphere. read more

With all our restaurants available this was just ok. Your fries with your sandwich was a side with an up charge. The house wine was $9 a glass and the pour was light. Ambiance was sterile but our server was kind. Her kindness was the only plus to our visit. read more

Great spot to catch a game and a cold drink. Friendly staff. Great TV set up. The bar was completely remodeled.

we ate here on Saturday. nice decor, plenty of TV's. all staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. started with cheeseburger egg rolls. they we very good. our meals were steak tacos and a cheesesteak along with fries and onion rings. tacos and cheesesteak were good, seasoned well so you could taste the seasoning. French fries cooked long enough to be a little crispy but soft on the inside. onion rings were frozen which takes away from the bite of the onion and makes it soft. not a fan of frozen onion rings. read more

First visit ever today. Immediately upon walking up when the door opened we knew it was going to be LOUD inside and it was. This place could use some sound dampening material on the ceiling. Otherwise, the drinks and food were excellent and we will come back. We tried the cheeseburger egg rolls, buffalo dip, mozz stick, mushroom Swiss burger, philly, and the ty cobb salad. Our server was busy and temporarily forgot about us but immediately apologized when she realized which is much appreciated. As stated earlier, we will give this place a second try. read more

Crab cakes were big but too salty and not enough old bay. Crab dip was a little too salty also.

Loved Coach's. Atmosphere was great, food was delicious, service was attentive, and we met the owner, Rock. What a treat. Be back soon..., read more

Great service, drinks, and crab dip!! This place is the new Venice hot spot for sure!

The speakers were louder than we could stand. Wish we would have picked a quieter evening. My fish tasted fishy to me. I know that sounds "a bit crazy". Definitely not the best fish and chips in Venice. I did like the slaw. read more

What a great bar and grill! Waitresses are smiling and friendly! Food is great! Rob, the owner, makes it a point to go to every table to check on food and service. So happy for this addition to the downtown Venice area! read more

Great food- had crab cake sandwich and Santa Fe salad- both awesome flavor. Will definitely be back and will be a new favorite! Wait staff and owner are so friendly! read more

Coach's is a lively sports bar with TVs everywhere. The owners are from Maryland and their crab cakes are phenomenal, no filler at all, packed with crab meat! Service was fast and friendly and the servers were very knowledgeable. Philly cheese steak was excellent. We will definitely be back. read more

We came as a party of 6 . The ones that had crab cake loved it . I had mushroom & swiss burger it was so dry I had a hard time swallowing it will not be back. read more

figured we'd give the new place a chance. sure glad we did. friendly, attentive service. great happy hour prices. the venice burger was one of the best i've had in a long time. only restaurant who gives you a large-enough, firm roll enabling full enjoyment. worth a visit. i know we'll be back. read more

Best lump crab cake I've had. Virtually no fillers all crab. New business when we went they were out of a few things but very nice people. It's a typical sports bar with large screen TVs . Cool spot with delicious food at a decent price ! Will go again! read more

We grabbed take out, unable to fully assess. The take out was very good, the bar staff was friendly when I arrived to pick up. Food was ready on time promised. 16 beer taps, full bar, clean place. Will go back to eat in. read more

Wanted to like the place. The food was good, TV's for sports great. However mgt. not so much. I was charged $6.50 per beer on a Thurs. for the same $2 beer on the Tue prior! Same beer, same time. See ya... read more

Stopped in for a beer, stayed for the crab balls! 10/10 service, beautiful place! Owner and staff were amazing

Ambiance. Food was good, but it is ridiculously loud - even for a sports pub. Won't go back because of noise level. Too many other places with similar food in the area where you can carry a conversation with your dinner partner. I can't imagine what it would be like if I had a hearing aid. read more

I don't leave reviews much, but when it do it's because a place was A+ or F-. This place was the latter. Bad food, bad service, manager didn't care. Needless to say we didn't won't be back. read more

Just left the restaurant and had the worst dining experience in recent memory. The service was slow and the food was not good. Strike one: my husband ordered a draft beer, but a bottle was given and the waitress said they were out of draft? But we saw the bartender later pouring what he ordered. Strike two: two appetizers were ordered and only one came out. We asked about the appetizer and the waitress said she forgot to put it in. Strike three- we ordered a medium well burger and it came medium rare. The waitress took it back then she brought the same burger back partially burnt. Strike four- we ordered Pinot Grigio and it did not taste right. It tasted like it was skunked or we received the wrong wine. We shared our bad experience with the manager, Brooke. She took off the wine but didn't do anything else to make it right. We will not be going back. We were so hoping it would be a spot we would love. Back to Bogeys - a good sports bar. read more
