When you have the problem with a place too small it is a good problem.

Filled and buying, a restaurant or bar owners dream.

A dream can become a nightmare very quickly with dissatisfied customers.

ATTENTION !! I have a very Capitol idea for all beer lovers ( World ) and Otherwise..Go to the Beer Section of Publik their you will find a wide variety of beer.. Yes wait for it now, a very wide selection ( World ). Pick up as many as you want, then take a stroll down the "Savory" isle pick up your Pretzels/Chip/Peanuts now your all set..right..no, no not fast you say WHY ???? You want ATMOSPHERE Yes ATMOSPHERE Lot's of People, Noise, Crowds, Strangers, Sweaty Environment Yes.,Yes..

SOLUTION : Your Local Recreation Center/The Swimming Pool/ The Neighbors..All kinds of people....INVITE THEM ALL...YES, YES... Problem Solved !!

You now have a Neighborhood World Of Beer...That YOU, Yes YOU... " CREATED "

I come up with the most simple solutions all of the time..

Hey, how much is a flight of beers? Would that be a twelve-pack? Just askin'. We're Manhattan, Rum & Coke and occasional ale people.

Default Flight

If I remember correctly, a flight is about $8.

I have to admit I don't know what a flight means?

I have to admit that a place that specializes in beer doesn't catch my fancy.

I have to admit that being too small is a good thing to me as it reduces the number of DUI's car and cart drivers in The Villages

I have to admit that being too small is a good thing to me as it reduces the number of drunks committing many foolish and risky acts.

I have to admit that being too small is a good thing because it makes The village safer and saner.

Perhaps the name of the establishment should have given you an indication of inventory criteria.

Went with the GF last Saturday night. Intentionally did not arrive until 10:30pm to avoid the early to bed crew. Nice manageable crowd with I would say less than 5% TV'ers .... lots of younger locals.

Tried a couple of good brown ales that were new to me (and I have sampled a LOT of them) .... GF was drawn like a moth to the flame to Cigar City Jai Alai IPA (always a solid choice) .... watch the last of the late/W. coast collage games and closed the joint down at midnight (I would guesstimate that we were 2 of 50 at closing)

Some issues with the wait staff ... but trust they will work that out. Saw that they have everything in place for some live music. Hope like hell they bring in good bands that play original music and not more of the cover band pablum that is the norm for the "squares"

Do not fear for the longevity of WOB .... they will do just fine.

This is The Villages. You could serve free lobster and Kobe beef and dissatisfaction would boil over.

You got that right! As for me, I'm loving this place. Bottom line, go where you are most happy.

Went to WOB last night at 6pm. Walked right up and got a seat at the bar. Instant service and the staff was fantastic. Had the pretzel(the size of your head) and pickle chips. Both were good. Tried several beers and all were great. Loved the beer mixes they provide. We will be back. By the way, it was definitely a younger crowd. I would say close to half were 20-40.

At WOB a flight of beers consists of 4 small glasses of different types of beer. If I remember correctly, the Belgium flight was $14 and the flight of local florida beers was $10.
