Sarasota

Sarasota, a Gulf Coast city known for its beaches and arts scene, has built up a substantial bar scene to match - BarFinder lists 208 venues here, led by classic bars and sports bars, with a real pub and brewery presence and a solid cocktail bar and lounge scene behind them. Real local spots like Burns Court Bistro & Wine Bar and Townhall Restaurant & Lounge show a scene with real range, from casual sports-bar nights to a more polished evening out. It's a bigger, more varied nightlife scene than its reputation as a quiet beach town might suggest.
