She was incredibly kind and easy to talk with, and we enjoy tasting the wine they had on hand. They have three dollar wines on Wednesday so we got their house white and it was very enjoyable! Would definitely come back and it's fun to take a date or a group of friends.

Pretty hidden so unless you already know about it, you'll never know it exists. It's Saturday night at 10:30pm, 8 ppl are here + the DJ and bartender. So plenty of breathing room. The theme tonight is psychedelic (music and lights). Free board games to play. Free Pac-Man arcade. The staff is super nice. Monday is trivia. Tuesday is open mic. Thursday is karoeke. Once a month, they do swashbuckler night, so singing swashbuckler songs (think pirates). You're allowed to dress up. Definitely different. I dig it. Five stars for trying something different.

I folded my napkin, and wrapped it around that dee-lish sirloin, to cradle it. The beer was a nice combo, and huge chunks of amazing bleu cheese kept falling off my burger, so I had to just toss it in my mouth. Amazing!! The service is on point and no nonsense. So glad all the construction is done, and you can just walk around again! Loosey's is a great a great place to get hit-the-spot food!

I have taken to going to restaurants for lunch on Fridays just to see something different in…read moreGainesville. This time around, I had a real hankering for a steak, and I had heard that Loosey's had a decent one, so I figured I would give it a shot. It was a pretty quiet day, and walking into the place it was somewhat dead... only a couple of tables seated. A good thing, too, because parking in the area to eat there is an absolute nightmare thanks to the City of Gainesville's approach to managing the downtown area. This is what I would call a typical downtown pub in a college town, built for having a lot of standing folks coming in during the nighttime hours to drink and have a good time, but during the earlier hours the dark wood and faint smell of stale beer tells you just what this place is normally up to and how it thrives during its busy hours. I was greeted and told to sit anywhere, so I found a good two-top to sit at and looked over the menu, knowing that I was going to be going for a steak. I went with the New York Strip with fries as a side. The wait staff was cordial, and my steak came out in a reasonable amount of time. The steak is good, and the price is right in this day and age. The fries worked well with the steak. I would go back for lunch here. No chance of me going here in the evening hours though. Finding parking in the middle of the day was bad enough, I don't even want to imagine what it is like in the evening.
