I frequented the 5o clock club, before evi's took it over. I loved the old nastalgic atmosphere and the great bartending of Ally. I was very disappointed, when I found out that Ally was no longer going to be there. I feel, she knew alot of the patrons and was a great asset to the new establishment. My opinion... bad business move!

This venerable watering hole has been marinating here for decades. Â Have not been there lately but recent reviews confirm continuity of atmosphere. Â Sorta small for live music and dancing, but seemingly still popular. Â Proximity to Sarasota Memorial suggest patronage by medical staff...hotties, coldies and in between. Â Also it has long been a dark quiet cave for regulars to sip through the afternoon.They just need to move along or dig in as happy hours erupts and the music lovers take over.
Review Source:Club in the name of this place kinda throws you off since it's the exact opposite of a club. Â Very divey, no frills bar. Â I was here on a Friday night around 12:30 and it was pretty empty. Â There was a band playing that wasn't bad. Â They have a nice outdoor area with a decent amount of seating. Â $3.50 beers is a plus. Â The crowd is what you would expect at a dive bar with live bands, kinda older and laid back. Â If you're looking for that kind of scene then this is your place.
Review Source:Love this club. Â Great live music venue. Â High energy night spot that I have supported for years. Â Great bar full of local regulars every afternoon and then as the night unfolds and the music cranks up this place kicks! Â Great food near by so you can make a night of it by just parking on Hillview Street.
Review Source:I would even venture to say 4.5 stars!
I was randomly in Sarasota last weekend for the bf's racket ball tournament. Â As I said, random. Â So I break out the trusty laptop and sign into dear old Yelp. Â Alas we find that this place is down the street from the hotel we were staying at, so it became a high choice, and I liked the review below.
The 5 O'clock Club is a neat little place! Â I was super surprised and had a really great time here. Â They alternated between a live band and a DJ that was playing some good music. Â Now, I did not see the "Sarasota Hotties" (lol) as promised, but we did meet some interesting characters that I will post some pictures of. Â I would say the crowd was a bit older, but everyone seemed to be having a great time, dancing, and carrying on.
The venue also has a nice little outdoor patio area and bar, and with the perfect and cool weather, we had to sit outside for a bit to experience. Â Overall, I really enjoyed this place. Â It was a nice break from the typical Miami club scenes... Â A fresh experience!
This place reminds me of a typical Saturday Night - in a live Blues bar on Division Street Chicago , but with much less room to dance or move to the other-side.
What this unique "The Five-0 Club"  offers however, is at least a bus load of Sarasota hotties who are professionals in the medical field. Perhaps that maybe because Sarasota Memorial Hospital is just across the street.  I met many professionals in this club who came in to re-wind sort-of speak after a long day in surgery. The combination of   the smooth music by a live Blues band or their  amazing drinks. But be prepared to be bumped or touched by passer-byes with drinks in hand... I give the Music (bands) 4 Stars - The Club services, a 3+ Star.  Atmosphere 4+ Stars (if you like mingling with a crowd)
