Sarasota Nightlife

Ready to let your hair down, have a cocktail and dance the night away?  Sarasota and its surrounding communities has a fantastic array of pulsating nightclubs, hip bars and chic cafés with all sorts of theme nights and special events.  Many offer a myriad of live music for your entertainment.  However, if you're looking for a larger concert setting with top headlining acts, we suggest visiting our Performing Arts Page and Events Calendar Page.

The two trendy, upscale places to be are the 15 South Straight Up Martini Bar and Cork, both at St. Armands Circle.

A fantastic place to hang out on the water while sipping a libation is Marina Jack located downtown on Sarasota Bay.  You can even arrive to Marina Jack by boat if you so choose, by docking at one of their many boat slips.  

O'Leary's, literally a hop, skip and a jump from Marina Jack, is another friendly waterfront taproom worth trying.  Their tiki bar by the harbor and friendly staff present an engaging atmosphere for you to relax and enjoy a beverage of your choice.

Speaking of tiki bars, Coasters at the Boatyard Boardwalk Shops off Stickney Point Road has a pleasant tiki hut bar and patio/deck overlooking Little Sarasota Bay.

The Haye Loft Lounge at Euphemia Haye's on Longboat Key presents guests with an intimate and cozy setting.  Homemade pastries via their Desert Room and live entertainment complete the setting at this eclectic upstairs retreat.

As far as DJ orchestrated nightclubs go, head over to the ever-popular Esca on Main Street in Downtown Sarasota, where you'll find scantily-clad women and the modish men who frequent it. Also worth checking out if your downtown is Mattison's City Grill, which has terrific live music almost all the time.

If you happen to be heading over to the Prime Outlets in Ellenton for some serious shopping, we recommend swinging by Woody's River Roo Pub & Grill afterwards.  It's a hidden gem on the Manatee River across from the Prime Outlets at Ellenton that offers great live entertainment and food.

For those who need a good laugh, be sure to check out our Comedy Clubs Page, featuring the area's best comedy clubs.  Included is McCurdy's Comedy Theatre, a terrific venue to see some of the most hilarious performers.

Check out what's happening at Sarasota's finest hotspots below to have a guaranteed fun-filled evening.

A word to the wise: If you're enjoying yourself at one of the nightspots listed and find yourself in need of a ride, please don't hesitate to contact one of the reputable and reliable Sarasota area Taxi Services listed in our transportation section.  They will get you back safely to wherever you need to go, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
