Thirsty Turtle - Sarasota

Met some friends there for drinks.Barmaid VERY efficient and friendly and prices were reasonable!!An overall good vibe about the place!!

Went in for a couple cocktails. Noticed a TouchTunes jukebox and decided to play some music. As soon as one of my selections didn 't match the bartenders taste preference she skipped all my remaining tracks. No refund no decent response to me honestly questioning why? . Why have a jukebox if your music is all that can be played? Beyond the rude way she executed this interaction. She was crass, loud and bullheaded. I will not come back, nor recommend it to anyone in the area.

The crowd here is a little shoddy but cat is pretty awesome. ?

Can't beat the prices ! A friendly neighborhood bar in Gulf Gate

Walked in and it felt like my kind of dive bar... Except it sucked, but only because of the bar tender. Asked for a pale ale that I've been drinking for 20+ years. I got a glass of what tasted and smelled like carbonated apple juice. Asked the bartender about it... She said it didn't smell like apples (lies). I Left the beer on the bar and went someplace better. Which was anywhere else. Probably avoid this place.
