Mutiny Bar Ocala — Restaurant in Ocala

THIS IS THE BEST BAR IN DOWNTOWN, other than that Hooters is a runner-up. The bartenders here are very professional but also very friendly which is kind of impossible to match. Technically hooters is not downtown but surprisingly they are the next best in Ocala. Sure there are more upscale options but it's a hit or miss at those places which I will not name. Hooters is entirely different than this place yet between the two they are the only people who can respect you no matter who your are and make a good drink. I seriously encourage you to try Mutiny; if you show respect they will exceed your expectations and I almost never review anywhere that isn't 100%, because unless I am going to write a one or FIVE STARS, I will typically not take the time to do so. You can get cheaper drinks somewhere else but the $1-2 difference here is so very worth it. Beyond a doubt I will continue meeting awesome tenders and locals here, this is my...

Holy cow did we not leave a review for this place? We were intent on doing some day drinking and wound up here. The bartender was playing slightly stoopid radio and when we walked in Stick Figure was on so yeah, we found our place. This is a pirate bar, so youve been warned. We normally hit the tiki place next door and Mutiny is pretty loud and rowdy when we pass by. Lunch and early afternoon when we were there was pretty low key. We drank some dark and stormys, listened to some gnarly tunes and pestered the bartender about this and that, bands and the local music scene, and chilled for awhile. I have to point out the bartender does not always play calireggae music, its just what happened to be on. Well I think they should! This bar is not for everybody, it is a pirate bar, and should be approached as such. I would not hesitate to come back and i certainly would recommend this joint...

We had our wedding in Ocala, and when we were planning everything, we really wanted somewhere to chill and take the edge off the night before. When scouting venues, we came across this great little bar with awesome music playing, and after a great conversation with the bartender, we decided to see if we could book a show for the day before our wedding. The bar owners were so accommodating and easy to work with, they booked our friend's band, and two other really cool bands, and all of our friends had such a great time rocking out, dancing, singing, and of course drinking, the night before our wedding. We were all from out of town and loved to have a venue that felt like home. We liked it so much, we came back to after-party around midnight after our wedding the next night. We miss having punk/metal bars like this in the Tampa area, so I suppose Mutiny is our new home...
