Tuffy's concert venue seems to be a combo outdoor (covered! But open air) bierhall kind of place…read morewith an indoor aircraft hangar converted into concert venue. Standing only, all concrete in the hangar, one bar, lots of waiting. The bathrooms are cleanish and highly functional, no flushing issues, not disgusting, multiple women's stalls. For our concert, the venue set up a Coleman cooler of water and small free water cups by the entry, but they did not make an effort to refill the water jug, so we got quite dehydrated and unhappy halfway through. Liquid death cans and cups of ice can be purchased for about the same cost as alcohol at the bar. Nutrl was only $6 and change, I was thrilled! The sound quality was EXCEPTIONAL! Kudos and a half to Tuffy's for excellent balance and not blowing our eardrums. The light show, meh, too many dark blends, too moody and could barely see the band. When most lit up, I enjoyed seeing the stage. The place got very crowded, very quickly. They need crowd control and to not overpack concert goers like sardines. The outdoor bierhall vibe was chill but was basically a refuge for chainsmokers :( Would def go back, but have clear expectations, multiple water cans in pockets, and very very supportive shoes for tha concrete floor.

I visited this establishment for the first time after seeing a social media promotion that stated…read more"21+ free after 9 PM." The advertisement did not mention any gender restrictions or different pricing. When I arrived, I was told that men were required to pay an $8 entry fee. If the promotion had clearly stated that the offer did not apply to males, I would've been prepared for that. Accurate and transparent social media promotion is extremely important for bars, especially when trying to attract new guests. When the information online doesn't match the experience at the door, it creates confusion and reflects poorly on the business. Clear communication would go a long way in improving the guest experience. Another issue was the cigarette smoke inside. The smell of cigarettes lingering throughout the building made it hard to enjoy the night. Paying to get in and then having to deal with heavy cigarette odor just isn't the vibe when you're trying to have a good time. Overall, clearer advertising and a smoke‑free environment would make the experience much better.

Celery City Bar is hands down one of the most unprofessional bars I've ever stepped into…read more Both bartenders were visibly drunk, rude, and acting like they were the main characters in a sad little power trip. I ordered an espresso martini from one bartender. Another randomly made it without confirming, then absolutely spiraled when I asked about my drink. Instead of clearing it up, he chose public humiliation berating and talking down to me at the bar like I'd committed some unforgivable crime. Full medieval town-shaming energy. Shame bell not included. What were they busy doing instead of their jobs? Flirting with freshly-21 customers and openly staring at their chests. If you weren't new, young, or feeding their ego, you were invisible or worse, a target. Two grown adults behind a bar acting like sloppy, insecure children with alcohol and an attitude problem. No class. No taste. No professionalism. Just embarrassing behavior that would get you fired anywhere that actually cared about standards. Save your money, skip the humiliation, and go literally anywhere else.

Another fun "2-3 star/5 star" review…read more First, you guys REALLY need to clean up the area at the back of the place...we park in the county lot after 6 when it's legal and walking in that way is, frankly, gross. 2 star worthy Asked for a Miller Lite. Out. Asked for another beer on the menu. Out. Now Maddie our server (6 star worthy) made it right, was super cheerful/"embarrassed" and bought me a bar drink to make up for it...so no big deal...BUT wanted the Big Fish...OUT. Wanted fish and chips...OUT. Two of your more popular dishes I bet...wth???? Now the FUNNIEST thing? Couldn't get our bill because...you guessed it...receipt paper for the printer? OUT. 2-3 star worthy. Now, what we were able to scrounge off the menu? Really good as usual. Enjoyed ourselves, Maddie and one of her colleauges (they seem to have had all the tables by themselves?) were uber friendly and fun and made us chuckle about the situation, and other things so we had a light hearted, nice time. (5 star worthy) But guys. This isn't normal. (Right?)

Me and my girlfriend went for a quick late lunch, focusing on appetizers and some beer. As far as…read moreatmosphere goes, cute outside seating and decent vibes. But ambiance doesn't cut it alone. Albeit only ordering two appetizers and two beers, the apps we ordered were NOT good. We ordered the 1lb mussels and the nachos with added beef. The mussels were in a butter garlic sauce with what tasted like white cooking wine or champagne(???) that was NOT all the way simmered, it was bitter and extremely sour. The mussel meat was all but ruined and swimming in this weird butter sour soup, basically drinking champagne with mussels. For $15, Easily 1/10 and not acceptable(stay away). The nachos which were $14 and for an additional $7(chicken) or $6(beef) they weren't terrible, but not great either. We got the beef add-on, and the beef was charred and dry, it appeared as if they just let the beef sit under a heat lamp for a few hours, it was black but didn't taste burnt. The nachos had some semi-dry cheese sauce with pico de gallo spread on top and came with a side of sour cream in a black plastic cup (which was fine). The best part about the nachos were what seem to be home made chips, those were quite nice actually. But because of the charred/dry beef it quickly became too salty. Portion size was good so maybe sharing with at least 3-4 people, not sure anyone would notice how salty it can get. For $20, 4/10. Our server was fine, at one point he disappeared for ~15-20 minutes when we were ready to close out but overall service was normal. The beer was also fine, nothing abnormal. Could have been a bit colder if I had to be nit picky. This was our first and last time unfortunately, had decent hopes considering it's in such a premier location in downtown Sanford. We will not be returning as there are much better options on this strip and if any would like to try them(based on this review) AVOID THE MUSSELS.

There is a pool table, pinball machines, an old 80's style arcade game, darts, and a dart board. The music was at a great level, although a little pricey to play music, 10 credits for $5.00. It seemed like everyone knew each other there. If I ever go back to Sanford (which is doubtful) I would go here again.

Alive after five…read more On the second Tuesday of every month the town of Sanford holds a block party in the center of town. They vary in size and theme but one of the very best is something called Party Gras. Of course it's an obvious copy of the original Marti Gras down in New Orleans and even though it is much smaller in size and debauchery it still is fun and entertaining. They block off the street and musicians, artists and food vendors fill the area. You pay seven bucks for a wrist band and that entitles you to all the free samples of food and drink that you want. A cool idea because it allows you to try all kinds of different things, some of it you might not have bothered with if you had to buy a whole meal. You can go back as many times as you want as long as you are willing to stand in a small line again. The event also had three bands playing, mercifully separated by enough distance so they didn't interfere with each other. Some cool music and talented musicians. They also had a nice old car display, some creative art, and random trombone, trumpet and strangely dressed folks milling around. Of course a nice assortment of friendly and stinky dogs added to the ambiance. Certainly nothing like the original Mardi gras but then that is probably a good thing for Sanford. This is a cool event that allows people to have fun, hear music, see interesting people and eat lots of food without ending up in jail.

I bought tickets online in advance which was a super easy & efficient transaction. Found the venue easily enough even as a first time visitor. Employee at the door was friendly, quickly found my tickets and provided wristbands for entry. Inside the music space, it's dark and standing room only (at least for this show). I noticed a few guests found some seats around the perimeter of the room. There's a small bar & restrooms near the stage The show was great and the sound quality was very good, no complaints. I really enjoy smaller venues with artists who interact with the crowd. It makes the event so much more enjoyable and memorable. When I left the show and exited through the front room, I noticed the vibrant scene of 20-something's laughing & having a great night while the DJ played electronic music. The place was really packed! Definitely a spot to check out if you're looking for some night life in Sanford.
