Other places that have a bar area that is more or less quiet, with piped-in mood music, by late evening are Ruby Tuesdays', Carrabbas, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Fridays'; plus perhaps some of the country clubs. Longhorn probably stays open the latest - I think until 11 PM most nights. It would be nice if there was a piano bar here. Garvino's probably comes the closest to that, although it doesn't stay open very late.

Another thing to consider is that The Villages offers some different experiences that are not easy to replicate in other places where we came from, so we can enjoy new and different entertainment opportunities instead of just trying to duplicate the kind of experiences we are used to from where we moved from; such as having drinks/appetizers on the outdoor patio areas, which often are quieter by late evening, at Red Sauce, Lighthouse, RJ Gators, Margarita Republic, etc; and being able to enjoy looking out over beautiful Lake Sumter or enjoying the lights and charm of the squares.
