    Vasco Sixty-One is a trendy rooftop bar inspired by its counterpart, latin cuisine spot Nineteen61. You get to Vasco Sixty-One in a small entrance right next to Nineteen61, take the elevator up and there you go. But usually you'll want a reservation. Though it's a rooftop bar, it's pretty small. There were 50ish people in the outdoor part the evening I was there and it felt very full. There's a small amount of seating inside and some bar seating, but it gets packed quickly. However, the drinks are amazing and worth paying a little extra for once in awhile. Nineteen61 is not known for being cheap, and its rooftop bar sister should be expected to be no different. But the drinks are super gourmet, so again, you are at least paying for quality and service. They have a small food menu there as well, with a variety of appetizers that are latin-inspired and just as delicious as the drinks. On weekends they usually have live music too so it's lively atmosphere.

    This place has that WOW factor.. from the atmosphere to the drinks, to the presentation.. it's all amazing. I had been dreaming of coming here before our trip and it surpassed my expectations. I had the Fuzzy Amore and it was delicious. My friends ordered the Smoked Pumpkin Old Fashioned and Cin Sensora Old Fashioned. Everyone loved their drinks. The hostess and bartenders were really friendly and helpful. The design of the place is just gorgeous. It's such a fun place to hang out.

    The Rooftop has a beautiful decor! Lush green plants, high tops, and booth seating! The bar is beautiful, clean, and well organized! ADRI our server was very knowledgeable about the menu! She recommended my mom a cocktail with Gin that she truly enjoyed! We ordered the pork belly Pintxos and they were SO good! We also tried the Lobster Fundido! Both were a HIT! We will be back. Great for date night or girls night!

    The staff were very friendly from the time we walked to the table service we received. Nice casual outdoor atmosphere. Good drink selection.

    A wonderful place to hang out with friends! There are outside seats including sofas overlooking downtown Lakeland's Munn Park. A terrific place to watch the sunset. The bar staff (shout out to Taylor) were attentive, friendly and make excellent drinks. We had an appetizer of Shishito Peppers. They were so good! We choice to different Old Fashioned which were presented so nicely! The Luxury Old Fashioned being a huge favorite! The place gets crowded( we went on a Saturday) definitely put yourself on the waitlist! I was told it's less crowded on a Sunday or Monday. We did get a seat at the bar with no waiting though, awesome! Everything here is AMAZING!! One tiny complaint is how loud the music was making it challenging to talk to the bartenders. We will definitely return to this spot though!

    Check dinner prices first. If you can afford them, more power to you. There's much better Cuban food in Lakeland for half the price.

    The rooftop setting offers an unbeatable view of the park, and the vibe is just right-laid-back yet lively.

    I can't fully express how grateful and happy I am that we got to meet Chris Torres today. We came…read morein with family and friends just to enjoy some drinks, and he took care of us in a way no one ever has before. His hospitality, kindness, and attention to every detail made our experience truly unforgettable. We're so thankful for the amazing service, and honestly, we would come back again because of him. Thank you, Chris, for giving us some of the best hospitality in the world -- you truly made our day special.

    Let me start off by saying that I had no expectations when visiting this venue for the first time…read morethis evening. They were starting a karaoke night and I figured since I enjoy performing that this would give me an opportunity to check out the venue for possible future event visits. The event was scheduled from 8pm to 12pm or later. We arrived 10 min. early in case there was already a crowd. GM Chris came to the door and asked us what time it was(?), that should have sent a red flag as he was the point person for running this event. We spent 10 min speaking with the Pink Piano owner next door and had a great conversation. At 8pm we went in and there was 1 individual sitting at the bar and the bartender. I ordered a scotch and a neutral for my disabled spouse. At 8:46pm with just 4 people (included) waiting for the karaoke, I went to the bar to close out my tab. The total for my drink and spouse came out to $19 and I left a $5 tip for the bartender who spent the entire time talking to the young man sitting at the bar. These are very difficult financial times for many people and to charge this type of prices for drinks, especially in Lakeland, Fl is absurd. As a very well organized individual who has managed many venues in his past along with being a professional performer, this was a complete disappointment from an operational point of view. If you are going to advertise a venue with a start time, at least either start on time or apologize to patrons who made provisions to attend the venue for events. My time is just as important as those running this establishment. Making arrangements to bring out a disabled spouse and having to wait almost an hour is totally unacceptable. If this is the type of operational standards then I along with my spuse will patron those establishments who have a deep appreciation for return customers and their financial contribution to the running of the business. I will leave it with this, if people choose to allow business's to simply run it without any regard for the paying customer, then you deserve what you get.

Couple if locals were inside. Bar tender we had was a charming playful gentleman. Sense i came more for my company than the place, i chose to focus my whole being on them so I didn't take pictures. I will definitely be back to give it an honest full package review. They got karaoke, a pool table n a nice outdoor patio with privacy walls. I didn't go back out sense it really takes half of beer to get me drunk. I wasn't gonna flop like waffle into the floor. I think 2 hours in we saw more gentlemen come in and madams also. It is a nice chill spot. No drama, just a bunch of folks getting wrecked on the $15 drink all night special n singing karaoke. I never done karaoke but i promise i will next time. Ima bring my cat-girl super power out! How was the date? Definitely moving forward with the conquest! We after party n i got home around 3am lol so i had a blast. I will come back during pride to, want to see how Lakeland celebrates it. Do I recommend this place? Hell yeah! Lot of good looking dudes, fun staff, karaoke n pool tables. What else do u need? Take a drink n mingle my lovely's, have a blessed day n may the shenanigans goddess bless your miss adventures!! Xoxoxo

    I've never been to Lakeland, FL. My friend and I found this gay club on Yelp and we thought to give…read moreit a try. First and foremost I'm 60 years old. I've been to many gay establishments from Portland ME to San Francisco, CA. Upon arrival at 11:00pm the building looked dilapidated. The parking lot was dirt and the arrival experience gave an impression of being an unsafe area. The doormen we're welcoming and cordial. The bar tender was very nice too. Our Drag Show experience was constantly interrupted by a belligerent extremely intoxicated female patron as you can see below in the screen shot. She should have been escorted from the club and kicked to the curb. She was interrupting the show and harassing patrons to the point that we left 15 minutes after the show started. I understand it's a small club. It is what it is and serves the gay community in Lakeland, FL. Would I return? Possibly. Only if you put a muzzle on the belligerent drunk with the trucker mouth.
