What People Are Saying About Florida Room

In Short
The vibe in this diner-style drinkery is kitschy and '50s-inspired: Turquoise walls and a corrugated steel bar are accented by a pinball machine and jukebox. During warmer months, tattooed 20-somethings hang out at picnic tables on the spacious patio. Drinks include specialty cocktails like piña coladas, hurricanes and martinis garnished with a smoked oyster. The economical bar food balances old-school staples, like classic BLTs, with original dishes such as the deep-fried avocado with chips.

I had high hopes for this bar, but I was a bit disappointed. It's small, and the room is weirdly shaped- not quite conducive for a large group or just two people. The bartenders were quite friendly, and the drinks were cheap for happy hour. The food is average. .

I've tried to patronize this place several times. It has too much attitude and little to offer. Thank god for the smoking ban recently in effect. Until then it was too smokey to hang out. I once ordered chicken skewers that were partially raw. The 2 different specialty drinks my friend and I ordered tasted the same and were not good for the price. The owner didn't smile and just rudely demanded our I.D'S before any kind of greeting. Too many other bars, you're not that cool.

You're all nuts!!! I'm with Herger on this one. Every time I come here I am treated to the cheapest and stiffest drinks handed over by the nicest bartenders. I've never felt uncomfortable in here, or that I'm being treated like a slob. Heyyyyyy, maybe it's because I ain't no slob!! You get what you put out I guess, and if you're a poo than you probably won't like this place, but if you wan't a real tasty drink (I suggest the aweome #2) goood jukebox, and some delicious tots, then The Florida room is your place. The back room is totally sweet too, it feels like you're in your friends basement in high school or something.
