And we didn't want to eat fast food or at a chain restaurant. There was no one else in the large dining room so we decided to sit at the bar. You can't see the bar from the dining room as you must walk through a door. The bar was nice with pads along the edge and hooks underneath to hang your purse. The bartender was friendly and attentive. I ordered fried fish which came with hushpuppies and fries. My lunch was deliscious! The fish was fresh and there was the perfect amount of breading (not too much). The straw fries were hot and yummy. I only ate half and took the rest home for dinner. There was a huge outdoor patio in the back. And both the dining room and patio had stages for live music. This spot had dive vibes but was super clean (even the bathroom). I tasted my friends burger and it was fabulous! I wanted both my meal and my friends meal lol! I highly recommend you stop in and try SOS!

It is indeed a little bar in a wee little building that was probably some sort of shop prior to its…read moreuse in this capacity. It's not far from the heart of downtown Live Oak and not far from the railroad tracks, either, of which you become quickly aware when a freight train passes by. Despite the small space, they have a pool table inside, a bar (of course) and that pool table doubles as a buffet table when they have potlucks and the like. There is apparently also an outdoor tiki bar area in the yard behind the building but I didn't go back there. Beer is the preferred spirit it seems and the crowd is about 99% locals, mostly middle-aged but some in their early to mid twenties. The theme therefore is country/biker to an extent but they were playing old hard rocks standards when I was there and then . . . something . . . not sure what it was, but some song I remember from the early 2000s that probably was Linkin Park or a band that copied Linkin Park. So aside from the B-list or C-list early 2000s blast from the past, a very cool and low-key bar in a very handy location in Live Oak.

We started with spicy and classic margaritas--both were perfectly made. The bread service was fresh and delicious, and my French onion soup had great flavor. Colby's side salad was super fresh too. For dinner, I got the homemade chicken tenders (so good--NOT processed at all), and Colby had the Honey Pig Roll, Bang Bang Roll sushi , and the Cajun Seafood dish with fresh fish, large shrimp, and andouille sausage in a tasty house-made Cajun sauce. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. Our server was really busy but still did a solid job. The décor was amazing, and the live music at the bar makes us want to come back soon. We definitely recommend--just wish the brew house offered more local craft beer options!

Then it was sold by George and Ann and it went down from there. Many locals stopped going because the scum that used to hang out at Cowboys in Lake City decided to infect this place with their presence and it's hard for a business to make any profit when your clientele only drinks water. The current owner really wants to make the place a success but it's just not happening. Lately I see more cars in the lot and have wondered what's going on there and may have to stop in to check it out. I sure miss the good old days at the county line, wish it could come back around.

There is a fair amount of parking and inside, plus a large outside patio area in the back. Got a Yengling on a Saturday afternoon for a little over $3. Three is no draft beer, but plenty of cans and bottles. Nothing craft though. Oh, they have some wine, Seltzer and soda. They allow smoking inside so if you are partial to cigarette smoke, this is not it. Love the pool tables, juke box, and games plus slots. My bartender Maria is the best. She was very welcoming and got to meet some of the regulars Dean and Koy. As far is dive bars go, Odell's Sallon is the best dive bar in Lake City. Also the only dive bar in Lake City, but who is really counting. I really like this place. Wonder what it is like at night. I bet it is a hoot.

I'd read the reviews and they were supposed to have the coldest beer in Florida and the best burgers. What's not to like about that? When we walked in, it was as advertised, a nice little biker bar with pool tables and they do in fact have very good burgers and cold beer. We had great service, great food, great prices, and actually stayed there much longer than we planned. If we ever have to come back through this way and stay, I will definitely go back there for another great Cajun burger, and a couple of cold beers..

It is definitely a neighborhood bar and the locals are all friendly as was the bartender Melanie. There are a couple of pool tables, dart boards and a jukebox.

It was a decent burger and much bigger than I expected. My friend got the club sandwich and it looked impressive as well. We ended up shooting pool and chatting with some of the regulars and left in the wee hours of the morning. Melanie was hustling all night as the bartender and the cook.
