Great little dive bar I have driven past a hundred times but never stopped until tonight…read more We were on our way home from Tavares and stopped by to meet up with a few friends. Upon entering we realized one of our favorite bands was playing here tonight, Monticelli, sweet!! These brothers are the best, what a serendipity:) It's a bummer we got here so late but we were able to catch the end of their second set and most of their third set. They even played Megadeth for me, sweet! It wasn't too busy at the bar, mostly locals but it took forever to get a drink. I don't know if the bartender was new but she couldn't tell me the price for a bottled yuengling. She said she needed my name for a tab and I told here I'm paying cash, so how much? She said it depends on which band is playing, what???? Anyway I ended up just taking the beer and went to watch the band because she never returned to take my money. When I went to cash out before leaving it still took her 5 min to figure out what I owed for one beer really??? It ended up costing $5, great. Wish I knew that from the get go. The bar is a decent size and they have a large open area where they can set up more tables if needed. There is also a decent sized dance floor and stage for local bands. The sound was decent and lighting was passable for a dive bar. The men's restroom only has one toilet and urinal in a shared stall, a bit weird but it will due. They have a large parking lot with plenty of parking, which is great for crowds or food truck parties. All-n-all, a great place to hang with friends, have a cold beer, and listen to live music.

Courtney is our favorite bartender, we drive 35 minutes each way just to visit her twice a week…read more She always remembers her drink, and she always serves him with a smile. She is definitely one of the absolute best in the area.

The owner, Amanda, was around chatting with all the guests, making drinks and getting the place ready. She was very friendly and introduced herself to everyone. Robbie was my bartender while I was there. She is super sweet and kept the drinks coming. We had TouchTunes playing, there is a dance floor, a band section, pool tables, very large bar with seating, and a large outdoor area that I am excited to see what they do with. Looking forward to the opening this weekend!

Finally, a proper venue in Mount Dora. Granted, it's not a theater, it's more of a large room (it…read moreused to be a Publix!), but this place has potential and you can tell that the new owners mean business! It's larger than you would think, the view from any seat in the house is fine, and feels very open. There are high top and low top tables, as well as some couches and comfy chairs. There is a bar, and while it doesn't really have a lot of ambiance or character YET, it, too, has potential. Regardless of any of that, the stage production I saw would rival any dinner theater, the sound and lighting systems are both excellent and make it feel like an A-list dinner theater. I suggest you come and see a show here, I was also told they are bringing in a full menu of food, so this place promises to be a hit! Come and show your support for a local venue!

Oh my goodness I recommend this to anybody that loves seafood. Service was OK. It was a full house…read more Ambience was beautiful. We watched the sunset on the water and had a giant fire pit to sit next to when the sun went down. I do recommend getting the deep fried grouper. It was amazing and the oysters raw were fat and juicy. Unfortunately, they just had their sushi chef pass away so we were not able to experience that.

I paddled a little closer to get a good listen and saw people having a great time. After loading up the boat I drove the short distance down to the Welaka Resort where I parked. The walk down to the bar is a spooky experience in October. The Halloween spirit is alive and well here. The Margarita and Painkiller are great drinks. Thanks to Belle for making these suggestions. The smoked fish dip and fried corn nuggets were a nice appetizer. Went back for the Halloween party last night and it was packed! Everyone had great costumes and the singer was pretty good. I will definitely be back next season for making more memories on the river.

I've lived in Sanford for 17 years, and while I've only made a handful of trips to Rockin'…read moreRhonda's, each visit has left a lasting impression. Most of my time here has been spent meeting up with riding buddies heading to or from a charity motorcycle run, or supporting local bands. Our most recent visit was this past Saturday to catch our friends' band, Night Wind, play. Unfortunately, the turnout was smaller than expected, likely due to the 11th Annual Mardi Gras celebration happening downtown. We started at the festival, then made our way to Rhonda's to enjoy the band before heading back downtown to wrap up the night. Rockin' Rhonda's is a classic dive bar and a popular pit stop for bikers--this might deter some newcomers, but if you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for a drink and a bite. The drink prices are some of the best in town. Well drinks are only $4, and if you order two of the same drink, it's just $6. You really can't beat that price, especially downtown. I usually ask for a double in a 16oz glass, so I don't have to juggle drinks all night. They also offer $12 domestic beer buckets, which are a great deal, and on Saturdays, they discount top-shelf liquors by $2 when you order a double. Food-wise, they have a decent selection of bar-food and it's affordable. A cheese pizza is $10, and only $2 more for a pepperoni version. If you're in the mood for something different, you can grab two corndogs for $6, mozzarella sticks for $5, a cheeseburger or hot dog for $4, or even taquitos for $4. For a casual bite, it's a great deal. If you plan to hang out for a while, there are several high-top tables available for dining. The staff here are friendly, and the place is generally clean and well-kept--inside and outside. If you're looking for something to do, there's no shortage of entertainment. They have several arcade games, two pool tables, multiple dartboards, and JENGA to keep you busy. If you're a bit tight on cash, there's an ATM right inside the main gaming area. When you step outside from the back of the bar, you'll find a cozy seating area next to a clean pond and fountain. Beyond that, there's a large, covered outdoor bar/patio area with more high-top tables facing the stage where our friends played. There's even another outdoor bar and service area to the left of the stage. The outdoor space can accommodate over 60 people (mostly standing) if the crowd is right, making it a great place to hang out on a busy night. We had a fantastic time at Rhonda's, and I'm grateful they provided the space for our friends to perform. The drinks were fantastic, and I appreciate that they pour the old-school way (free-pour), which is a nice touch. Three things to keep in mind: (1) Smoking is allowed inside, so if you're planning to dine-in, you may want to enjoy your meal outside under the covered patio; (2) the parking area and the space between the patio and stage are mostly dirt and sand, so it could be dusty/slippery/or muddy depending on the weather during your visit; and (3) The venue does not providing in-house lighting and sound for the stage, so if your planning on landing a gig here you will need to bring all of this equipment and manage your sound/lighting needs during the show. Overall, Rockin' Rhonda's is a laid-back, local gem that's definitely worth checking out if you're in the Sanford area.

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.
