Best Bars (Nightlife)
(10 Overall Closest)
Salty Dog Saloon
(Nightlife - Bars)
1712 W University Ave, Gainesville  32603 • 352-375-6969
        Description: GAINESVILLE. Casual, somewhat small, and adorned with neon and beer memorabilia, this college bar almost always has a full house. If you're interested in hanging out with friends, it's a good option, and the diverse, substantial beer selection includes domestic and international brands in bottles and on tap. Choose your favorite, and accompany it with some wings or nachos for the table or a burger for yourself. A daily happy hour makes things easier for thirsty folks with financial concerns, and a tequila cantina offers up shots, margaritas and frozen cocktails.

The Swamp
(Nightlife - Bars)
1642 W University Ave, Gainesville  32603 • 352-377-9267
        Description: GAINESVILLE. This appealing, two-story enterprise (formerly a professor's home) is both restaurant and bar. It's also a classic Gainesville hot spot and a great hangout by day or night. Outdoor dining is a favorite pastime, and good happy hour specials bolster the already-strong sociability quotient. Monday and Friday nights are perennially busy, and the college contingent comes out in full force. Live music is a frequent perk, and on game days, a big-screen TV is set up outside for fans. Upscale pub food is well-prepared, beers come in draft, bottle and pitcher, and a specialty drinks menu pays due tribute to the Gators.
