Not a bad atmosphere, good music and a log of space. I didn't try the food yet but it looked good

Let me tell you, folks, I have just been on a flavor rollercoaster--and not one of those rinky-dink…read morecounty fair rides. No, this was a full-blown culinary Six Flags experience that left me both speechless and deeply emotional. First Stop: Southwest Egg Rolls These bad boys arrived at my table looking like they just got back from a food modeling gig--crispy, golden, and filled with a spicy, cheesy, Tex-Mex magic that made my taste buds sing mariachi music. One bite in, and I could practically hear the tortilla whisper, "Welcome to Flavor Town, amigo." The creamy dipping sauce? Absolute sorcery. If I could legally marry a condiment, this one would be a strong contender. The Main Event: Manny's Meatloaf Manny--whoever you are--I just want to say thank you. Thank you for crafting a meatloaf that has single-handedly redefined my understanding of comfort food. This wasn't your grandma's meatloaf, folks. This was a rich, juicy, perfectly seasoned masterpiece, glazed in what I can only assume is liquid happiness. Each forkful melted in my mouth like butter in the sun, making me question every other meatloaf I've encountered in my life. Do I now have beef with every other meatloaf? Yes. Yes, I do. The Beverage That Tied It All Together: The Freshest Beer Ever Now, I don't know if they have a magical beer wizard in the back, but this was the freshest, crispest, most life-affirming beer I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. Each sip was like being softly kissed by an angel who also happens to be a craft brewer. Ice-cold, smooth, and so refreshing I briefly considered writing a love letter to the brewery. Final Verdict If you are hungry, thirsty, or just looking for an existentially transformative dining experience, get yourself to this restaurant immediately. The food is sensational, the drinks are divine, and I am now a better person for having eaten here. 10/10, would trade my left shoe for another bite of that meatloaf.

Terrible place with terrible employees. Aggressive atmosphere and really run down with really nasty…read morebathrooms. The food was sub par and the bar tenders were rude. People playing pool were causing a scene and the bar people told us to leave because they were friends with the people and didn't give us a refund with drinks not finished. They called the police and like 8 cops showed up. This place is a joke and shouldn't even be taken seriously.

Good menu that changes often enough. Pub food and real entree mix of eats. Lots of good cocktails…read moreand beers on tap and bottles, cans by an expert staff. Had a Reuben, with deviled egg flight, an Eggenberger, followed by an Alchemy Focal Banger. Nice place to sit at the bar or a table. Good free music play lists on tap too.

I don't usually write reviews the same day, but this was something unique. Let me first say there…read moreare not any fun and well done gastropubs in Gainesville, and this restaurant certainly stands to prove that point. Stereotypical decor and menu, Grains and Grog stood painfully empty on a Saturday afternoon playing music nostalgic to anyone who graduated high school before 2010. I ordered a Manhattan. Hallway through, looking down at the bottom of the glass, I saw two tiny flies floating at the bottom. As disgusted as one can reasonably be, I asked for another one to be made (why I bothered, I can't say. Maybe it was because I had already drank half). I found another small fly in the second before the server left the table. Another fly in the third as well. We didn't finish our meals for obvious reasons. They brought us the check, discounted the manhattans and 50% the check, though I didn't feel I should have paid anything. After paying the check, they said it was a mistake. They brought us the wrong one and would void the sale. The "correct" check they brought us was the full meal sans the 3 botched manhattans. We won't be going back

Grain & Grog American Tavern - Shrimp over risotto.  Our thoughts:  the shrimp needs a zip in flavor; and use bacon instead of prosciutto.  Otherwise, perfect

A Local Gem with Something for Everyone…read more Revs is the perfect local dive bar with a little bit of everything! Whether you're in the mood for a quiet, laid-back evening or looking for a lively spot to hang out, it all depends on the night--and that's part of its charm. The bar has billiards, darts, and plenty of TVs for all your sports-watching needs, so there's always something to keep you entertained. Food is good as well, recommend getting the burger or hot honey chicken sandwich but do, do get the side of tater tots! Scene-wise, some days are super chill, making it a great place to unwind, while other nights can really pop off (in the best way). Last time I stopped by, there was a motorcycle crew meet-up, and the energy was awesome--definitely added to the experience. Revs has that classic dive bar vibe but with a community feel that makes it stand out. Whether you're flying solo, meeting friends, or just exploring the local scene, it's worth checking out!

I often come to this establishment with my friends for some good company and music vibes…read more Saturdays, they play hip hop music, and it's great since it's local to where I live, without the far drive. Drinks - alright. Good for their beers on tap, like Guinness. Food - just had their pizza from next door and it's great! They didn't have that option before and was told they just added it on. I got the meatballs, three large pieces for $12. Pricey, but needed cause I was hungry. My friend ordered a margarita pizza which he and some friends liked. Music - hip hop was what they played and what I've enjoyed thus far. Things to do - play pool, cornhole, beer pong, and darts. So overall, sorta divey and good with friends for somewhere local.
