Thirsty Turtle - Sarasota

Cat was our bartender, and as visitors from South Florida, we found the friendliness here to be unparalleled. The music and atmosphere were fantastic. They have soft tip darts and a pool table, and we even had the pleasure of meeting her adorable dog!

This neighborhood dive bar has a distinct smell, and it’s not uncommon to find vomit on the sidewalks. It could easily serve as a venue for AA or NA meetings.

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. ?
