We recently tried the Wine Library Bartow during one of Bartow's monthly Friday Fests. It was the…read morehighlight of the evening filled with ambiance and great craft cocktails. There was a beautiful patio area that drew us into the bar after seeing all the great drinks being served. The bar was filled with a trendy ambiance of warm candles, books and cool original art pieces with a nice vibe of upscale patrons. We sat in a corner nook with a beautiful foot locker as our table covered with magazines. A lovely bubbly server immediately brought us menus and introduced us to the restaurant that was filled with well dressed mostly female patrons surrounding the L shaped bar. Signature Sangrias are the go to drinks and I ordered the Kumquat Sangria that uses locally sourced Kumquats for a special one of a kind citrus based Sangria. Definitely a must try drink that comes with an optional kick of Southern Comfort on the side. My wife got the Very Berry Sangria that came filled with fruit and included chop sticks for eating the fruit. A Great Drink as well. The bathrooms were also worth a visit to see the library books and fulfill a fantasy ;-} we will definitely be returning for the next Friday Fest and our new central Florida favorite bar.

Drinks were amazing. Cute lil place. We had the reg and the sangria with a fire ball lil bottle in…read moreit

Some folks collect postage stamps, but I collect dive bars! This is a good one!…read moreCertain things are a "must" in a dive bar. * Of course, a bar and this one seats about 15. * A full bar as opposed to just beer. * A pool table * An ATM as this joint is cash only. * A Touch Tunes juke box * Entertainment on selected nights * Smoking. Uggggh but more about that below. This is a tiny place inside with only a handful of high-tops near the bar. However, for a dive bar, there is massive outside, really nice seating. If you are sensitive to the smoke, this is great! To be fair, they keep the doors open as much as they can to keep it tolerable. Note- The parking lot is terrible but that's common for a dive bar. Note- It appears they will be offering food very soon which should be interesting and worth another visit. If you are on Route 27 in Highlands County and looking for an adult libation or two, this would be a fine stop.

I didn't have to wait long for a table, the server was prompt and polite and the food came out hot and ready. During my second lunch visit, (during the same week), I had to wait a while to be seated. It appeared that the hostess was personally busy visiting a friend at a table. It took a bit of time for the server to see me, (only because she had no idea someone else sat me in her area). I was ready to place my complete order but my food came out slower than the previous day. Although my burger was hot, my fries were cold. My server was good, but I didn't have much more positive points than that. Maybe, if the owner who was also visiting that same table, stopped by... my opinion may have changed. This was a swing and a miss today! On a positive note, you're at .500 for the week.
