Memories Lounge — Restaurant in Sarasota

I used to go here all the time with my friends before I moved away and loved it. I am in town with some of those friends and we decided to go for old times sake. I was in a sleeveless shirt, blank chinos, and sneakers. When I tried to go to the bar, the bar tender refused to serve me and when I pointed out that the woman right next to me was wearing spaghetti straps and several other women didn't have sleeves on he just shrugged. I've never had a problem at memories before and when I asked about the rules he just said there is a sign that says popper attire. So when I went to go tell me friends standing at the pool area that I wasn't allowed to be served he came over and got in my face and told me I had to leave. A friend of a friend came and gave me a shirt and I came back in and then took this picture. I don't mind if places have rules and are nice about enforcing them but it seems like for some reason I was the only person the rules applied to that night. I won't ever be going back again. You lost a repeat customer and ruined a lot of great memories I had...

The guy that was behind the bar the night of January 14th going on 12 in the morning was really rude . He came to me to ask me what I wanted then when I was about to tell him he looked at me then turned his head to have a conversation with another person then he came back to me and asked me what I wanted I said Strawberry margarita and he said "No , I don't have nothing strawberry " then walked away before I could even tell him to make me different drink and started making drinks for other people at the bar . I waited to see if he was going to come back to me but he never did so I left . He makes that bar look terrible . No...

We cannot say enough nice things about Memories lounge, will echo the other reviews when they say it lives up to its name!!

We had the after party here for our wedding down the street at the Ca D’Zan and this was definitely one the highlights of the night. The drinks were great, karaoke was a blast, and the locals were all very welcoming (shoutout to our girl Sue)! My groom and his friends also loved that they could enjoy some celebratory cigars inside.

Big shoutout to Stephen and the whole crew at memories for being so kind and welcoming to us out of towners!! If you’re in Sarasota and love a good local dive bar, this...
