The place to go for St. Patrick's day. Has a very good selection of craft beers, some standard stuff Guiness, Harp, etc. but mostly great quality craft. Lagunitas, Founders, Dale's, Calusa, Big Top, etc. American Outlaws hq for Sarasota, and you can just about always find soccer on the telies. One of my favorite places to go.

Great to have a People’s pub in town with soccer all over the screens. Can’t wait to see the world cup there this season. Staff is super friendly, beer is tasty, love the back hang out!

Smoking area in back. Tampa Bay Rowdies away matches are always shown here along with United States National Soccer team. I highly recommend coming here to enjoy a bit off Soccer or football. My buddy is part of the Skyway Casuals and they will always be here on away matchea for the Rowdies. Cheap beer, cash only.

Excellent place for a beer and to watch some soccer. This is the US soccer bar for Sarasota so you'll always find passionate fans for the games. CASH ONLY but they do have an ATM. The staff is super friendly and beer is ice cold! No food here aside from pretzels and chips but they often have a food truck.

Wonderful local pub. Great beer selection, friendly staff and patrons. Small, but rarely over-crowded. Outdoor seating in the back. Good music always on the jukebox (if soccer isn't on the TV). No food on offer, but pizza nearby and often either a food truck or the owner may be grilling out something for free! Cash only. Best simple place for a pint in town.
