Coolest bar in Ocala and perhaps the entire area. Drinks are expertly crafted and incredible, and the vibe can't be beat. Buck made the experience memorable and if I lived Ocala this would be my haunt. Will absolutely pull up a stool every time I am in the area.

Stopped here for a night cap and the ambience and kitschy decor did NOT disappoint! I ordered the “Clever Girl” cocktail which was perfectly balanced with some Smokey, tangy and slightly sweet flavors. The best part, though, was th amazing tiki mug it was served in. Way to really lean into your concept! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that we weren’t greeted when we came in (even just a welcome in) from the bartender despite it not being busy. The menu was a QR code already sitting on the bar so, again, just missed that personal touch. The bartender was perfectly friendly and professional I just missed that warm welcome and extra service piece. I will absolutely be back!

I love all things of the islands. The way it was decorated was right up my alley. Service was friendly, and fast. I was so surprised to see one of my favorite drinks on the menu! It's called the "Bee's Knees". It's an oldie but goodie. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Love coming here, it is so nice to relax and enjoy some stellar handcrafted beverages. I was in a mood for a lemon drop, which isn't on their menu, but my bartender Brett whipped one up, and it was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and had us laughing. Made the experience even better! This is a real gem of downtown Ocala, always great service and great drinks!

We dropped by on a Monday evening unplanned. This is a tiki style/rum bar but they make all types of cocktails. I ordered a creamy espresso martini and they made it creamy by using coconut milk and it was one of the best espresso martinis I’d ever had. Service could have been better, but overall it was good once we were acknowledged.
