“ Great atmosphere, great service. Karaoke is so much fun on Wednesday night! Bartenders are amazing! ”
“ Great environment, I studied there a couple times while my friends had fun. Got some munchies and had a good time lol ”
“ I really enjoyed this place it had a very bright, fun and great atmosphere. I liked that there was a good mix of ages for customers. I didn't score the food because I didn't have any. I just went for drinks and some fun. I gave the service for stars simply because at least two bartenders and a barback just glanced over instead of asking what I needed. The bartender was very polite, cute and helpful except she made both of my drinks incorrectly the first time. I'll chalk it up to her being new at her job. Over all I would go back. ”
“ Found Moondoggy’s on a random day after moving to Sarasota with Lynn as the bartender and have been coming back several times a week because of Lynn’s friendly demeanor. I love this bar and the environment will continue to support it!! If anyone is looking for a bar where you can enjoy the drinks and service, Moondoggy’s is the spot! ”
“ As a formally trained bartender, this place is legit. Clean, professional and the SK beach cam is on the large screen. First time here, I’ll be back..... ”
“ Moondoggies is a wonder. Great COLD draft beer!. The bartenders know who you are and if it is your first time,,, they will ask your name, who else goes there!? Open early, while I have never been open at 7 AM. A former 7-11 owner... just saying. Smoke to your hearts content because they don’t serve food. ”
“ Stop in all the time at both Zuzu’s and Moondoggys. Bartender Phil is a great server and always remember was exactly what we’re drinking. ”
“ If you ever get Chris as a bartender at Zuzu's you know you're about to get the best drink of all time. He is genuinely the most genuine and great person. So sociable and always checking in on everyone. Every recommendation he has ever given me has been so delicious. If Chris is working you know the vibe is going to be so good. I recommend 100%! ”
