I'm a big fan of this place.
They have a huge craft beer selection - many on tap, some not for a very cheap price. I love Stubbie's, but this place is simply way more affordable.
Mondays are trivia night.
Tuesdays are Tankard Tuesdays so you get a huge mug (think pirate size) Â of craft/premium beers for $5 and domestic drafts like shocktop for $2.50
Wednesdays they have 2-1 wine and wine cocktail drinks.
The people that run this place are really chill and unpretentious, which is also reflected on the crowd that populates here.
Also, they have really good food. Like their macaroni & cheese is top shelf. It's spicy and delicious. I'm an expert on macaroni & cheese so I take that designation very seriously.
This place is awesome! This is the bar my friends and I always hang out at no matter what day of the week it is. They have awesome deals on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays but whatever day you go on there's always going to be a special. If you're into trivia they have a trivia night on Monday which is pretty cool. They normally have different types of beer on tap and switch it up every week. $2.50 tankards (25oz) on Tuesdays/Thursdays is a pretty sweet deal. They have food, board games, cards, arcade machine, swing dancing (on some nights), juke box, and an open area in the back with tables/benches where people can hangout (sometimes with a live music).
awesome place, awesome servers!
cheap good beer, fantastic staff, always a friend or 3 to run into there, owners that are really nice.... My favorite bar (or at least top 5) in gainesville. The only thing I would have to complain about is that there isn't enough room outside or in... but that just means their awesomness is spreading throughout gainesville and thats really alright with me. I will totally sit on the ground in order to enjow a gigantic beer thats served quickly by a staff thats not too cool for school or too busy jerking off.
Review Source:I'm a big fan of the midnight. They *usually* have some exciting beers on tap and the prices are great. They have very tasty and affordable food as well - consisting of Chili, grilled cheeses, hot dogs. Nothing too exciting, but it fits the bill. The jukebox is a lot of fun as well.
If it's not too hot out, they have a nice little patio to enjoy. They also have their own parking which is almost unheard of downtown.
Great atmosphere. Very laid back with a fun jukebox. Have gone multiple times with my friends and enjoyed a variety of beers (all of which are about 2.75 or more cheaper than the same beers at Stubbies). The food menu is pricey considering you do not get any sides but other than that I wouldn't have a complaint. There is outside seating for the smokers, inside is a SNES for all of us gamers out there along with board games for the others.
One of the top 5 best bars in Gainesville to relax and have a good time with your friends at. Especially if you want to go out during the week when they have such daily specials as: Tankard Tuesday (Yes they serve some beers in TANKARDS! RAWR!), Wino Wednesday, Trivia Monday, etc.
The credit card minimum as stated is a pain in the butt I will admit, but really, who DOESN'T want to have at least two Skullsplitter Orkney Ale's while you are there?
I've only been here once but I LOVED this place. Â Not a lot of people there, probably because it isn't well known but I hope that will change soon. Â They have a very good selection of beers, both draft and bottled, including Swamp Head, Blue Moon, Southern Pecan, etc. Â
They also serve some food and when I went the bartender gave my table free popcorn which was so different and nice to have. Â They have grilled cheese, chili, and other yummy treats that are tasty.
My favorite part was the old school SNES they had set up so my friends and I could challenge each other to a game of drunken Super Mario Bros. There were boardgames you could take out and play with friends too.
All in all this was a wonderful little bar that has lots of potential. Â I hope to see it continue to succeed and I will be going back soon.
I passed by here a few times and finally walked in to try it out last night with my bf. They have a decent selection on draft and they have plenty of bottles on their menu as well as a small wine selection. Their prices are good and the people are nice. The server introduced himself to us and made sure we were having a good time. While we were there the air was full of mouth-watering grilled cheese and bacon scents. I haven't had their food, but by the looks of it, I'd say it's pretty good. I'll have to give it a try sometime.
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because they let people drink out of the bottle... which is weird, considering they have plenty of glasses on their shelves. And they serve bud and miller items. Not my style! ( I really can't understand the person/crowd who drinks that at home, let alone at a bar!) Also, if you're going to pay by credit card, they have an $8 minimum. So you'd have to at least order 2 drinks (even if you only feel like one). Boo! I hate credit card minimums.
Small complaints. No biggie. I'm definitely coming back here again!
I've only been here once so far, but I loved it. Â Really awesome beer selection, GREAT bar staff, decent wines, delicious late night food. Â (OK, technically I haven't tried their food yet, but I wanted everything that was on the board. Â A grilled peanut butter and banana sandwhich? Â At 1 am? Â Yes, please!) Â
AND they had a real live jukebox (not one of those digital money-suckers), stocked with the goods. Â 18 songs for $5. Â love it.
