Offers reasonably priced drinks, and likely has 2-4-1 or half off Happy Hour drink specials.
Has a half dozen beers on tap and a decent selection of bottled craft beers.
Offers patrons drinking at the bar something to nosh on while they drink....pretzels, peanuts, popcorn, something salty to keep me drinking. Chips and salsa for a couple of bucks??
Several large TV screens with pro/college football & basketball, MMA fights, extreme sports videos, TV poker games, funny/crazy youtube videos.
A couple billiard tables, dart boards, a ping pong table, some old school video games or pinball machines in the back.
Decent appetizers and bar food, a basic burger and fries for a tenner.
Friendly bartenders.
Outdoor seating with ideally H2O misting fans
Decent background music and/or a digital jukebox with a gazillion song choices.
Clean bathrooms.

Is the above so hard or asking too much??

Why is it / how is it that in an area with a such a large population of affluent active retirees, there isn't one decent bar in The Villages?

Besides your home or on The Squares listening to free music, where do you go to enjoy a few drinks, be social and meet people?
DaddyD, I agree but remember where you’re at. Also didn’t you hear what the govt. raised prices in, yes alcohol is one of them! Go outside the bubble you might find some cheaper prices. I don’t live in TV anymore but I use to always go to to Sonny’s, a mug of beer there was only $1.00 all day. Now maybe that’s changed but that was the cheapest beer prices I know of unless you’re talking about mixed drinks, I don’t know!
