16 Best Bars near Ocklawaha

“Interesting stop on a motorcycle ride, bartender was very helpful with information and discussion. Even though it's a historical place they could step up the game a little maybe serve some kind of food. They would probably get a lot more business. Other than that interesting Florida history.“

“Food was good, but nothing to brag about(frozen crinkle fries, mozz sticks). Atmosphere is great on the lake sitting outside but table top has holes in the clear coat and peeling and could use resurfacing. Kids enjoyed the burgers and fries, chicken ceaser wrap was good, wife raved about the fish tacos! Great place to go if on a boat and looking for a drink or meal.Kid-friendliness: Beach on property for kids to splash in lake“

“Such a great place for lunch or dinner! We've heard good things about it and finally decided to give it a try. Wow was it good! Great service with a diverse menu. So many tempting choices! And if you are a beer drinker, this is definitely a must visit. Service was great too!“

“The food overall was great. We had delicious pulled pork sandwich, bbq chicken sandwich, rack of ribs. Awesome. The side dishes were just okay. The service was slow. We sat, patiently, easily over15 minutes before someone acknowledged us to get our drinks . We ordered dinner at same time. I was getting hangry. But maybe we just timed it wrong. I will go back and hopefully not have to wait 15-20 min just to be acknowledged by a wait staff person.“

“This must be probably the BEST bar I have ever visited. And the visit was totally unplanned, and it was Alice’s 84th birthday. This place has an absolutely different charm. The folks are friendly and wonderful. The owner, Alice and her team are super. Some of the most wonderful people I have met. This is a place for must visit. Greatest bar in the forest!“

“Our daughter and her family visited from NJ. We came to Pasta Faire as it is our favorite. Everything was perfect again. The grouper piccata, the Italian ride of you life, even the children's spaghetti and meatballs. If you walk out hungry, it's your fault. Generous portions of great food. The highlight was our favorite server, Gaetano singing happy birthday to our grandson. A wonderful experience for all. Thank you. We look forward to seeing you soon.“

“They held a benefit for me here as I have stage 4 colon cancer. I was really surprised and touched at how many of the "regulars" participated in the benefit and donated money. I haven't drank in about 5 years but if I ever started again this is a bar that I would definitely be comfortable and happy drinking in. Just really down to earth“

“This is the ONLY place in lady lake who has FLAVOR not bland food prices are a bit to high but the area that it’s in its worth it. Check out my TikTok MonaLisa ?for more reviews.Parking: I parked at the very entrance of the establishment my car was safe.“

Liz is an awesome bartender, are cocktails turned out just right! ?? Even the regular clientele were awesome! This is an, I'll be back situation all day long!! ? ?“

“My parents and I are here for dinner before their bowling league and we had a great experience. They come here often but it was my first time since I'm in town visiting. I ordered the gyro platter and they ordered the chicken pita and chicken kebabs. We each loved our meals and they came out quick too. I really liked the gyro platter because it came with a fresh Greek salad, rice and tzatziki sauce. The service was really quick even though they were packed and our waitress was really nice and accommodating. I know my parents will be back soon and next time I'm in town I'd like to stop in again too!“

“Like the waterfall flowing into the swimming pool. Swimming pool is for priority members only. Nice restaurant. Country music is played some nights. Challenging 18 hole Golf course from multiple tee boxes. Mature golf course has some of the tightest fairways to hit from the tee boxes in The Villages, FL.“

“Fox Crossing is a little bar with a quaint unique character that is surrounded by aged oak trees. The inside of the bar has an inviting atmosphere and the clientele is down home friendly. Ice COLD beer, great music, friendly people and bikers are welcome. It's a great stop.“

“Looks like such a hole in the wall off the Highway. It's such a cool dive bar. I've only been once but we met some really neat interesting people. I'd go back. Dark, dive and smoky but definitely was up my alley that night. Has a pool table and the bartender was super friendly.“

“Great place for late night entertainment & dance. As long as you are there on a night they have a good band. Hit & miss unless you know the bands by name.Parking: If no parking is available near the front of the restaurant. Then there is always parking around back.“

“Our first visit. Sara was excellent and explained menu and Taco Tuesdays. She stopped by and refreshed drinks regularly and our food came out exactly as ordered. Friendly bartender visited our table and answered our questions about their trivia and music bingo nights. Bottom line: excellent food, outstanding service, friendly atmosphere.“
