LOVE backyard on Friday nights for Malibu nights. Great DJ’s and vibes!!

It was crowded till 1:30 and the backyard and there was very little room to dance. The overall crowd is very young in their twenties mostly. The music was not Caribbean on Friday night by the way. There is an inside DJ where there was pool tables and a little room to dance but overall it's not a big dance Vibe it's more of a suicidal hook up and drink vibe but I did meet some very cool people there that were very nice and people seem generally happy

Clearly not authentic Mexican food but I figure that's not expected in Gainesville anyhow. Food is pretty decent and staff is typical downtown underachieving snob. All in all I give them 4 stars for a Gainesville establishment, but in the real world, this is a makeshift restaurant that only excels in a local market of half hearted underachievers. Still I can't help but love the place.

I would not recommend for a fun night out, the bar staff is extremely kind while the “head of security” is very rude. you can spend your money best elsewhere maybe the Relish next door lol

Super unprofessional and rude staff. White guard with nose bridge piercing was racist to my friend. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.

Good food. Nice place and the trivia game night was fun.

Truly the most unprofessional establishment I’ve ever been in. I lost a shirt I bought inside, the manager said he would not help me find it or give me a new one. He proceeded to say he was sorry while smiling in my face. It’s disappointing to see that a venue so popular in the Gainesville community is so unhelpful and disrespectful.

Karaoke night was incredible, great outdoor venue and plenty loud. Niles, who is apparently an elderly regular was an absolute delight to meet.

Fun place, they have some great live music when I was there.
Backyard is really fun and packed on fridays they also play really good music but their drinks are so expensive. On mondays they have Karaoke which is more chill. They also have pool tables which is fun

Karaoke night is fun. Drinks are priced good. Open air and good people. I go here every time I'm up from Broward county. Definitely a good spot.

Never have I ever felt so harassed and so disrespected at an establishment. Bim the Bar Manager is a Peice of Work. Jenn the big bartender is a bully and so unkind and unfriendly. I went there tonight with a friend to play chess with a fellow local, and was approached by a random bouncer demanding I leave. No explanation.Just an embarrassment of an establishment.Don't go here.

Fun times. Great music, friendly service. Connects to Boca fiesta and a pool hall. Reasonable prices. Get there early to avoid the crowds.
