Owners are great and very friendly. The bartenders are great as well , very attentive. We go mainly on Friday nights for Karaoke. We shoot pool, and have met new friends. I enjoy the small bar atmosphere.Wonderful place and Ice Cold Beer. Smoking is allowed but it hasn’t been very smoky inside at all. If you haven’t been here, well come on out sometime!

LOVE this place! Wish we had known about it sooner and now it’s our go-to place in Bartow area. Bartender Jordan could NOT have been nicer or more attentive, I mean seriously this woman has our drinks ready before we even know we need another one! I saw a post mentioning something about possible “skin color” prejudice which is wild to me because every single time we’ve been there it’s a rainbow of colors and all seem happy! Two pool tables, an outdoor space, punching bag machine, jukebox, clean bathrooms, fantastic Karaoke DJ on Friday nights and truly amazing bartender! If you’re not giving this place a chance you’re missing out!

Let me start off by saying I have had nothing but a great experience every time i have been in here.. I run a bar in wauchula and myself and a bunch of my regulars come down here on a Friday night for cold beer, karaoke, and a great night out. Jordan the bartender is always a pleasure when behind the bar very attentive and smiles. If you haven’t been go check it out.

I would be more than happy to meet with you both over cocktails or just somewhere to give you more information and possibly more context. If you would like to private message me on Facebook I will give you my phone number and we can set something up?(I wasn't sure how to reply)What can I say about Krazy Kooters?I wish I could say that this is going to be a positive review.Let me be perfectly clear, Krazy Kooters has been a staple in my and my husband's social life since our arrival in Central, FL., more than 12yr ago....... Over the years, we made many lasting friendships at "Kooters". I was confident, even under new owners, things would continue to move forward, and it sure seems like it has. I think it's a premium location and, if you put the right personalities, with customer service oriented staff in this place they'll be unstoppable.I was pleased to find out that the ice cold beer has not changed a bit. There were a few noticeable changes, (new games, a couple missing though) Free pool table is gone and my favorite bartender, Carly Quinn, moved on, to The Caribbean Bay! WOW, did "The "Bay" get the better bartender in that deal or what?! Carly has to be one of the very few bartender I've ever encountered, that can instantly make you feel like she genuinely cares.Anyway, moving on to my review.......This past Saturday night, just as I started to pass by Krazy Kooters Bar, on Highway 17, I decided to stop and have a couple of drinks. It was always such a light-hearted, fun, safe welcoming place socialize. I had heard the Townley's sold the bar, so I was kind of curious to see if a lot had changed.One of the bartenders, my ex-husband and I have history, it's not pretty and none of us should be proud of it. Until that day, I thought it had all just pretty much blown over. I walked in, said hello to the only other person in the bar, besides the bartender, and asked the bartender for a Miller Lite. I was immediately told I'm not welcome at "Kooters" and to leave. I was shocked and surprised, had there been more than one other person in I would have been humiliated as well, to say the least. The bartender was not quiet about it either. Sadly, I think this place, where I once felt so comfortable, welcome, valued and at home, this place just didn't feel like home anymore.I won't be back !

Lots of fun. My go to place when I've had a bad day, always someone to talk to and the bartenders always make me laugh. I've dropped in for Kareoke on Friday and they let me sing and don't snicker, and a couple of DJs can really sing. Pool tournament on Saturday, I don't play much but I like to watch.

"Kooters", Used to be one of the most laid-back comfortable people, comfortable, welcoming, fun and safe alcohol serving establishments that you could go to. When my husband and I moved to the Central Florida area more than 12 years ago, Krazy Kooters became a staple in our social life.
Very friendly owners. They welcomed are dogs in. We had a great time there. That was my first time there.Parking: Parking is fine

If I could give it a 0 stars I would. Went to this bar for the second time tonight thinking it was going to be the same great experience I had the first. I’m a local in town and raged about this little spot previously from my experience before but needless to say after this visit I will not be back. Was nearly kicked out because they were closing at “12”. I have seen this bar always open passed midnight and even sometimes on holidays. My husband and I with a couple of friends stoped by after dinner and no one else but one other person was in the bar. Which was fine as we were passing through and wanted to hang out and have a couple drinks. We played music on the karaoke machine they have. Keep in mind the karaoke machine only plays music when you purchase tokens for it. We all took turns with paying to play music being before we got there it was quiet with nothing playing. The one person who was there prior got offended and left the bar as he mumbled something on the way out and slammed the door. I’m assuming it was due to our choice of music. After the gentleman left the bartender all of a sudden said they were closing at “12”. We wrapped up and finished the game of pool and hurried and drinked our drinks being it was close to “closing time”. At around 10 minutes before “closing” another gentleman came in and made himself comfortable another one of the bartenders made a comments to say “oh you didn’t get my text”. Needless to say is if your skin color is not in liking for the bars atmosphere don’t even waste your time and money. The guy that came in stayed and was not told anything. Never have I experienced something like this and it’s crazy to experience it.

I have been to krazy kooters two times, the first time it was a really good experience I had a lot of fun. The second time, me and the group of people I was with felt like we were being discriminated against because of our color and taste in music. We put money in the juke box to play a bad bunny song and another customer there expressed his dislike of the music and left, after that the bartender told us with an attitude that the bar closes at 12 which we thought was weird considering we’ve seen it open later than that the time we were there before. Additionally, there was not a lot of people in the bar and when it came time for us to pay our tab, me and my boyfriend were charged $56 for two margarita slushies and two Coors Lights. Obviously that was not correct, we were definitely overcharged but regardless we paid the tab without complaints. I would just like to notify others that this place may not be race friendly, sad to say I will not being going back.
