Domain Food & Spirits

This place used to be HT Canes...so no confusion may follow.

Great local atmosphere here.  While I'm not a resident of the neighborhood I'm sure numerous customers would know me if I was and walked by Domain.  During my visits it seems every customer knows every other customer...in a way it is a small town bar and not a dive bar.

Drinks are mad cheap.  I kept thinking they were messing up my tab...then again..it could just have been Florida prices...but they still felt cheap.

The food is typical pub fare with some added specialties.   I didn't eat nor did I see anyone who did so I cannot attest to the quality.  On your own there.

Service...super friendly and attentive.  After several visits they knew me and were guessing my drink.

Ambiance-Inside is so-so...step above Floridian dive bar/restaurant average.  The outside bar is fantastic.  Great views of the bay and people watching vantage point.  There is a lot going on on this corner and the Gulfport "beach" nearby.

Quality...this is where it lost it for me.  Now, you can discount the rest if you are not like me and that is understandable...I'm an elitist beer snob.

The most enticing option...really...is Landshark Lager.  This is a poor option at best...only on a sweltering day would this be really worth the $3...the rest is very basic domestic mega-brews.  Bottles...I'm sorry to say...only made the situation worse.  The Heinekens and Stellas were obviously not stored properly and the taste suffered tremendously.  I think they're basically just used to turning over case after case of bud lights.  If that right down your alley then great...if not you'll be disappointed...

I mean so close to the Caribbean...have some Red Strip or Dragon Stout...some Cuban beer...or even more local brews...

I'll be back...and if I'd live there I would try to correct the beer issue...and go quite often.

You should try it out.
