Huge selection of beers. Enormous. Lots of seating. Great bartenders.

Went to watch Utes play Gators and when we drove to Gainesville this was the first bar we saw. The line builds up fast to get in on a game day. There are entrances on both sides of the building. You can walk through the whole bar and walk out to the other street in the back of the building. This bar is massive. 2 stories. We went to the rooftop area. There are 2 bar areas upstairs, food truck, restrooms and lots of seating areas.The ones under pergolas are reserved. Pay attention, they usually tape a piece of paper with the name. You have a great view from the top on all the tailgating going on across the street. There are at least 2 bar areas downstairs, you can play pool and sit outside. We met a lot of friendly Gator fans, there was barely any hostility against Utah fans. We mingled and hanged out on a rooftop from 12 pm to 6 pm at least. The drinks were good. I enjoyed frozen mango margaritas the most. Perfect for a hot muggy day in Gainesville.

If I could leave zero stars I would. I came in with a group of cheerleaders over the weekend and I’ve never experienced such unprofessional service from management staff. We did have a larger group, so we were very understanding and patient when our food came out very slowly and one at a time. No big deal. Waitress was nice and did her best to accommodate us. After we had all received our checks and paid for our food, one member of our party had still not received her any of her order after being there for 1 hour and 10 minutes, AND she had already paid for it. When the general manager, Cory, was approached nicely by a member of our party to address the situation, we were met with a terrible attitude and phrases like “well is she like this on the field when she cheers?” aimed at a team member for being quiet and unconfrontational (Which obviously has nothing to do with our restaurant experience) and also told one member of the party to get out of the restaurant just for speaking up for not receiving part of our order. You know it’s bad when the staff apologizes for their managers behavior. We will never be back.
