    First Magnitude Brewing Company is the Southeast's first carbon-neutral brewery. They are committed to reducing waste, water usage, and electricity. The building has been repurposed from an abandoned warehouse, and they brew over 100 different beers here each year! Since it is located just down the street from the University of Florida, it is a great place to watch a football game and enjoy delicious food from their rotating food trucks.

    Made an accidental stop while in town waiting for the baseball game to start since the bar we planned to go to wasn’t open yet and I’m glad we did. Fun atmosphere especially for St Patrick’s day. We had the Rueben and tots for $7 and it was the best Rueben I’ve ever eaten. The meat wasn’t “lunch meat”. It was flavorful tender homemade corned beef! My husband had the $7 fish and tots and it was good also. We would definitely visit again.

    Havana’s is a great after dinner drink spot. They have a dream bar selection with friendly and fun service. Their cigar humidor offers a nice assortment of well maintained cigars at reasonable prices. I hope to return.

    I really love this place. They have a small but thoughtful beer and wine selection. I've only been here at night. We often stop by to listen to free live music. It's not a very large place. With only a person or two behind the bar, sometimes there is a wait but they usually work quickly and it's part of the charm! Great art and decorating inside - it's like a little art gallery.

    Me and my friends were waiting on a show to start at The High Dive and were told by the staff there that we should check out Loosies. When we arrived the place was getting slammed! It was a Sunday night and I guess they hadn't accounted for the concert crowd. We were crunched for time and were hoping for a quick bite to eat before the show but it was not to be. Fortunately for us they had $2.50 microbrews on tap which beat out the concert prices handily. The beer was fresh and despite the crowd the bartender was all smiles and gave great service. We stopped back in after the show and finished our night there talking with the staff and few patrons that remained. The great smells wafting from the kitchen, the staff, and definitely the beer prices will guarantee that I'll be back to get the full experience.

    My kickball team won a championship and celebrated with the fun bike. It was a great time and Derek, our driver was really nice and fun. Would definitely recommend!
