Suicide Oppossum Saloon (SOS) was 10 minutes from Ichetucknee Springs. My friend and I wanted to…read moregrab lunch before driving back to Jacksonville. 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 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. They also had a bucket of 5 beers for $15 with five beers to choose from. I ordered the double burger with onion rings. I forgot to take a picture but the double will not fit in your mouth! 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. She was on top of it all night. We were in town to scuba dive and are on to our next destination, otherwise we would have returned. Great little dive bar. Friendly staff and locals. Decent bar food.

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..

The first thing that caught my eye was the ample outdoor seating area and lovely faux ostrich upholstered chairs. They were every bit as comfortable as they were stylish too. We were very very hungry after celebrating my husband's birthday swimming at the springs and this was the perfect stop on the way home. Pizza was hot and very fresh, and the cheesy garlic bread was to die for. The arugula on my pizza was excellent quality.

We were quoted a 30-minute wait for our pizza, but it ended up taking closer to 50 minutes. There also isn't a lot of seating, and the restaurant was absolutely packed, which made waiting a little uncomfortable. If you're not in a rush, I'd still recommend giving them a try because the quality of the food makes up for the longer wait. Just plan ahead, especially during busy times!

I went to an Italian wine tasting at Beaker & Flask recently. If you don't know the place, it's a…read morewine bar with a monthly membership, and every so often they do wine tastings. So far I've made it to the Italian and Georgian tastings, and both have been a lot of fun. The place is really laid back. Great ambiance, soothing background music, and it's the kind of place where you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone sitting around you. It feels comfortable without being stuffy or pretentious. Josh, the assistant manager, and his team are all over customer service. They're friendly, attentive and seem to genuinely enjoy making sure everyone is having a good time. The tastings are fun, the wine flows, and you get to try wines you probably wouldn't otherwise come across. The membership is pretty reasonable too. You can also order food from the restaurant next door, and they occasionally have a food truck, so you can easily make an evening of it. To me, Beaker & Flask is kind of like having a secret living room where you can hang out, meet interesting people, drink good wine, and best of all, you don't have to clean up afterward. The only problem with writing this review is that I really don't want too many people to know about it. Because if everybody finds out about my little secret, I'm going to have to fight you for a seat.

A whole experience. A mountain of food so generous it could easily feed two people, layered like an edible masterpiece. The plate came overflowing with rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, queso, and shredded cheese, all draped over perfectly seasoned chicken. Every bite felt warm and comforting, the kind of food that makes you pause mid‑conversation because the flavor hits you in waves. Creamy, crunchy, fresh, savory... everything balanced beautifully. I also tried the al pastor, and it was incredible. Tender, juicy, with that perfect hint of sweetness and char that makes al pastor unforgettable. You can taste the love and intention in every bite. I loved that you could see the pineapple chunks because usually places just use pineapple juice . The atmosphere was cozy, the service was kind, and the food felt like it was made by people who care. If you're anywhere near Alachua, do yourself a favor and stop here. This place deserves all the stars.

I was there for the oyster special, and for 50¢ oysters, they were actually pretty solid. Fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth it for the price. They also have buy-one-get-one margaritas, which is always a win. The drinks were well-made and paired perfectly with the laid-back midweek energy. As the night went on, the DJ started doing their thing and the whole atmosphere shifted...in a good way. It went from chill to a full-on vibe pretty quickly. Only downside? Parking can be a bit of a headache, especially once the crowd rolls in. So I'd definitely recommend getting there early if you can. Overall, a great Wednesday night spot if you're looking for good deals, good music, and a lively crowd. I'll definitely be back.
