Thirsty Turtle is my new favorite watering hole (from moving to Sarasota). Christina is one of the best bartenders, and is always so nice to everyone. Highly recommend this place to anyone!

Great Bartenders, good service. Fun laid back place to go to play pool or darts or Bar games with Lisa and Tina in the mornings. My favorite Breakfast Bar and its non smoking too....

Small bar with 2 pool tables, maybe some video games (honestly don't remember if they had some or not), tunes sounding good. Nothing really special about the decor. Looked like a typical small neighborhood bar. Nothing to make you think beach bar" or anything. It was very clean, service was outstanding, and I noticed that the bar tender kept up with cleaning tables as people left, having them ready for the next customers. I really liked the little place! Go, you won't be disappointed!

great old school bar with friendly staff and non - pretentious. Outdoor seating is cool too. Good memories there over the years.

My husband and I went on a Saturday night with my brother-in-law and his girlfriend. What we really like about this place is that it’s not just a bar with some TVs. They have dartboards, pool tables, a jukebox, several entertaining games, a machine with random surprise bags of amusing items that had us cracking up, and that night- karaoke. This just makes the night so much more fun and reminds us of the past. Pre-Covid or whatever-all I know is that the majority of the places we used to go now have absolutely nothing to do but sit there and stare at a TV. I don’t understand why so many places have removed pool tables, dart boards..etc… it certainly makes the night uneventful and quite boring. So glad the thirsty turtle hasn’t done that. Although at the end of the night, we were referring to the place as the “tirsty thurtle” We will continue to go back.
