Newtown
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Newtown, Sarasota
Newtown is one of Sarasota's historically significant African-American communities, established in the early 1900s and still a center of Black culture and history in the city. Its bar scene is modest, with BarFinder counting 10 venues spread across lounges, dive bars, and a tiki bar among other types. Growler's Pub and Memories Lounge fit a close-knit, local scene, while Townhall Restaurant & Lounge adds a more dining-forward option. A neighborhood worth knowing for its history as much as its bars.
