“Raffurty's is a great neighborhood spot! The servers are always pleasant and on the ball. The drinks are generous and not watered down. The owner does a lot for the community. They do college and national sports, trivia, karaoke, Happy Hours and occasional over 50 Happy Hours. Kid friendly too. Well behaved pets love it too! Shaded, open air upper deck to enjoy cocktails and food. Sarasota's official Philadelphia Eagle's Nest too! Nice clean place, good vibes and good food! In an area of corporate type places, Raffurty's stands out as a friendly, local Sarasota spot you should check out and patronize! 👍“

“We went to the Venice location. Our server, Savanah, was very nice and the service was quick. I wanted to try so many things on the menu because they sounded delicious. We got the Bavarian pretzel for an appetizer and it was huge! For my meal, I landed on the Malibu Barbie Wrap(chicken, bacon and guacamole in a wrap) and it was very good! I had a bite of the Legalize Marinara (chicken marinara sub) and the chicken was crispy and the marinara was delish. Fries were amazing. Will definitely come here again.“

“Ok so I go to Applebee's to pick up my sisters to go order and after talking to the bartender and restaurant manager we soon realized my sister ordered online with a different Applebee's and I Said I can't be driving way over there tonight because it was getting a little late! They said, " Oh no, we will make it for you and have it ready in a few minutes!" Well, they did! I think I waited 15 minutes at the most and it was perfect food and they were very accommodating and efficient! Thanks, guys!“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Stopped here looking for a place to kill time with our boys before a flight. Adam took care of them nonstop with Shirley Temples while we enjoyed Happy Hour adult beverages at amazing deals. Great ambiance, outdoor Florida breeze, a ton of tv’s for games, terrific drinks and outstanding service. GREAT, GREAT PLACE!!“

“I love Monk’s food, mainly because of the oysters. The Oysters Monkafeller are delicious! The service is spotty though - sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s horrible. The atmosphere is alright…it’s just a lil’ hang out, nothing fancy. Because of the food, I always go back. I gotta say though, I haven’t been back in a while, because last time the service was so bad.“

“Super cozy, local little pub. I live nearby so brought my boyfriend for a leg of his Valentines Day scavenger hunt to play darts (they have 2 dart boards) & we couldn’t because they have busy dart nights. Call ahead if you have your heart set on darts. So we sat and drank an expensive Guinness! Guess that’s just the going rate these days? Very cozy place, nothing fancy, great little hole in the wall neighborhood pub.“

“We were looking for delicious wings and Sunday football. They had both. It was packed for football but the service was still great! All tvs labeled so you can watch your game. And amazing food! Thighs were enough for two. Boneless wings great. And delicious tots!“

“Loved the bar, all the bartenders were great. Some of the best drinks and food I had in Sarasota. Their martinis are a notch above any where else I've been in Sarasota. Try the watermelon, Leechi or espresso martini. You will not be let down!“
