Best place to watch football in West Bradenton. Every game is on (some on more than one TV) and every TV is visible from any seat. The bar even provides free pizza for both the 1 and 4 o'clock games during NFL season on Sunday's. To boot, the staff is very attentive and friendly (shout out to Casey and Karen).

Great local bar, always great service. Drinks are average price for a local bar. This bar is the balance between Dive and Classy. Skylar, Zoe, and Dante are amazing bartenders!
