We went to District Bar & Kitchen on a Friday evening in July 2026 and had so much fun!
Our server, Kyle, was so attentive, accommodating, professional and happy. We ate on the second-floor terrace with a table overlooking the balcony views of Downtown.
We ordered Shrimp and Grits, along with white sangria. Both were delicious! The serving size was huge!
The best part of our outing was Dustin, the musician who was singing and playing piano. He is so very funny, talented and entertaining. He brought the party to life with his song choices, good energy and comedic style. He invited everyone to dance, sing along and make requests. He even had me hold his harmonica while he played; which turned out hilariously! Everyone had a great time! Hooray!!!!

First visit and sat at the bar. Went to hear their live music by local singer/songwriter Seth Dukes. In was on the terrace and the volume was perfect! Could talk to neighbors and bartender while still hearing music in background.
My bartender was Javier, he took really good care of me. Wasn't familiar with the drink I ordered and told me that upfront. He looked it up online and showed me the recipe. He made the drink as someone who's never made it but it was still quite good! (I ordered 2 more!)
For dinner I had the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and they were delicious! The question was so good! Had the perfect amount of heat- not overwhelming.
The staff in general was friendly and attentive. On a very warm Florida evening, the overhead fans kept it comfortable. It looked like everyone there was enjoying themselves.
Looking forward to visiting again.

I came to Ocala for a horse show for my business BBK leather designs, and we wanted somewhere good to eat! A quick search showed that this place was highly rated and had great drinks.
I had the shrimp and grits which was the top if not the second from the top best grits I've ever had! The sangria, which we got a picture of, was also fantastic! Good balance of sweetness and fruitiness!
You overlook the Downtown area that looks like it's in the midst of being revamped. Great outdoor seating on that second floor with lots of TVs and open airspace!

We stopped here for lunch while checking out the Ocala area. What a great find. Our server was very attentive and knew his stuff. I ordered the smash burger and and on his suggestion got the tater tots as my side. He did not disappoint. The smash burger was excellent and the tater tots were fantastic. It’s apparent they have an excellent cook who knows how to season his food. Deb got the Cajun dry rub chicken strips and proclaimed they may have been the best ever. They appeared hand made and were a very good portion. Her only complaint was that now it will be difficult to find really good chicken strips going forward. Unfortunately I forgot to snap a pic of them before they were devoured.

The food was amazing and the service was even better. Our server Alejandro was the best, when he saw my older than dirt parents not understanding the parking meter he offered to pay for it, and he was super attentive. Definitely will be coming back, they have great weekday deals as well.
