The spot is tiny and cozy! The drinks are unique but it really depends who's making them and right outside they have this cute guy:

Super cute little hole in the wall cocktail lounge in downtown Gainesville! This place just opened a few months ago, but I hope it stays open for years to come. Very small bar area with only 3-4 seats, but there is more seating in the back and outside. Good, chill music flowing through the place just like the drinks. The bartender was very nice and made terrific drinks and even offered to spice up the spicy drink more if needed, which I loved. Price point was on point, not overly expensive for a place like this, so don't let that scare you away! Can't wait to spread the word and return with more friends! Love the vibe and can't wait

Great vibes

Excellent vibes, service, and drinks. Primarily a wine bar but is known for their cocktails. A little hidden, but that's what makes it perfect. Saturday night and plenty of breathing room. Excellent atmosphere. I'm impressed. Five stars. I'll certainly be back!

Cute little hidden wine bar in downtown Gainesville. Not much seating inside but plenty of outdoor seating. Great wine selection and decent prices. Great for date night.

London fog

This bar is a hidden gem in town! The ambiance is great with elegant decor. It's a bit tiny with limited seating but they have extra seating on their outdoor patio weather permitting. They have a seasonal drink menu with cocktails that are just as tasty as they are photo-worthy. For those that like an espresso martini, this is the spot to go for one! Their whipped espresso martini is a must. Some other spring drinks I had there were the crème brûlée, matcha latte martini, and the London fog. The crème brûlée's presentation was my favorite!

Hidden gem! service was great & drinks were fun & tasty! I will say that its a really tiny bar which also makes it very warm/ stuffy inside, had to sit outside instead which is just as nice!

Deliciously exquisite

Came here for brunch. Free valet if you're visiting the restaurant. Score…read more Our server, Benjamin was beyond amazing. Super friendly, fun, adorable. We tried Canella Negra, pumpkin espresso martini, and a cucumber alcohol alcoholic drink. All were delicious. For breakfast, we started with the brussels sprout salad, which is fire. My daughter and I both had the American breakfast which was cooked perfectly, bacon and sausage were on point, breakfast potatoes were delicious My girlfriend and my daughter's boyfriend had biscuits and gravy. I could've eaten that too. It was so good. For dessert we had Keylime pie, which was outstanding. I highly recommend Covey kitchen and cocktails and would definitely come back again.

However, our excitement disappeared pretty quickly when we realized they only have brunch on Saturday and Sunday and we visited on Friday. We were pretty hungry so we deci to stay anyway. I ordered the turkey club panini with fries and my husband got the brussel sprouts salad and salmon. Everything was pretty tasty and the service was pretty good. The restaurant is overlooking the fountain so it was a pretty view and the free valet parking made it a breeze to go right in. Although we were disappointed we couldn't order what we originally went for, we still had a pretty good experience. Would highly recommend the brussel sprouts salad. It was amazing!!!

Right across the street from the UF campus and a short walk to Florida Field for game day! Great…read moreplace to park yourself at the outdoor bar or even the inside restaurant & have some handhelds and adult beverages before the game. My past experiences here have always been good and the servers are attentive and willing to make your time there a fun time. On game days the menu is downsized to make it easier on the kitchen but what is offered is flavorful and presented in a nice fashion. So, for myself this is a spot I go to before many of the home games as it is easier than setting up a tailgate and then tearing it down. Now, I just park my car & walk to Cantina Anejo with my wife and relax and have a good time with my fellow Gator fans!

I attended an event in their Patròn Room this Friday night. What a fancy event space. Street…read moreparking was luckily freed up after 5pm and there is also an AirGarage about 5 min walk away if you can't find street spots. The Cantina customer service was top-notch; waitstaff were super friendly, always smiling, and the bartenders' drinks were strong As far as food, chicken and steak quesadillas plus their chips n guacamole were a great match to the classic margaritas. Their cold ginger beer was a good way to sober up before going home. Overall, the place seemed clean except for the restrooms, which left something to be desired. The first women's stall had a toilet paper roll cover missing so the roll was exposed. There were also paper towels and bits of toilet paper in the stalls. Maybe it was just a busy night? My husband said the men's restroom smelled like a gas station bathroom, and one stall had a toilet paper roll sitting on top of the toilet and a bunch of drain flies near it also no separation between the 2 standing urinals. We unfortunately won't be back because of those restroom issues.
