We have visited Loosey’s twice since arriving in Gainesville. It is a bar with a good vibe. The first visit was just for a drink and wings. All good. We had great service and really enjoyed sitting at the bar. About a week later, we went back for their Friday fish special. Again, we sat at the bar. The bartender, Erin, (spelling?) was fantastic. The Friday fish dish consisted of a roughly 6 inch by 1.5ish inch stick of fish, battered and fried, that was … meh… by that, I mean not bad but not something I would get again, just no seasoning or flavor. It came with a good tartar sauce and good fries. There was a little dollop of cabbage slaw … less than meh.
We enjoyed our time there and will come back to try a different meal. Bathrooms are clean but be aware that there are writings in some stalls that could be disturbing to children.

Nice bar and a very good burger.
We went there at 6pm the bar was quite empty but it was hard to find a parking slot.
Do not park on the big parking lot where it says tow away zone, you will get a ticket within minutes…

There was a nice local punk band playing and they were awesome. I went here with my family and had a blast! My only critique was that the steak was pretty tuff but besides that it was so so yummy.

Was a bit hungry and I was looking for Steak Bites. The Steak Frites was the closest I could come to it. A little too much gristle and not enough flavor. It was a pretty good size for $22. I ate a good portion of it. The sides were not best selections. The fries did taste a bit decent. My wife wasn’t crazy with her Burger, as they undercooked it and she had to send it back. The service is a tad bit slow, looks like they can pick up the pace a little. Place is a pub, I can’t say it’s a bright lighted place. It could use a little more life. Would I come back? Maybe. I give it a 3.5

The rating is respective of the place, not overall in the restaurant landscape. It’s what I call a little dusty, divey, with good food and college town specials.

Three of us had a burger, a chimichurri chicken and Chic-Fil-Loosey’s Nashville Hot, all with hand cut fries cooked perfectly crisp. The burger was decent sized and cooked well, tasted fresh as did the full set-up, and the chimichurri chicken was good and daughter made it disappear quickly.

The Nashville hot was great, crispy, moist and very spicy! I’d do it again!

They also have music on weekend nights when we’ve been there. And it’s a good mix of students and some locals, and visiting parents. It has plenty of outdoor seating when then weather’s nice and let’s are welcome.

The Sunday drink specials was happy hour all day, great specialty cocktails and Mocktails, I had the $2 PBR tall boy since I was feeling retro collegiate.

We’ve been about 4-5 over the years and will continue to support them since we all enjoy the place and the service from Elliott was spot on, bravo!!

I found this place in the Bring Fido app and went because I thought it would be dog friendly. It was hot and my server didn’t bring our dogs water. We ordered and waited over 10 minutes for a beer and a drink. Walking past the bar on the way to the bathroom, we saw our drinks sitting there. By the time they came to the table, the ice cubes in the drink had watered it down and he did not bring a glass with the can of beer. Our waiter was clearly distracted or angry or he just hates his job. When our neighbors asked for to go box, he brought a small one. When they pointed to their plates (almost full) and asked for a bigger box, he came back and literally threw it at their table. This was, by far, the worst service I’ve experienced in a long time. The neighborhood is rough and while we were there a large group on bikes came and allowed their kids to do bike tricks right next to the tables making the dogs afraid and all of us sitting outside very uncomfortable. Everything about this place screamed NOT WELCOMING!!! The food was alright when it finally came, though he got our burger toppings wrong and my friends hush puppies were completely raw on the inside. We won’t be back and as for “dog friendly” – no. We sat there over an hour in the hot sun and were never offered any water for our dogs. I ended up putting my glass of water in the floor for the dogs to have a drink! No thank you!

Great spot delicious burgers. If you are a burger person this is a solid spot. High quality Angus beef. Staff seem pretty nice and inside they host rock bands. They have a variety of beers on tap as well. Just beware about parking do not park in the parking lot across the street you will be booted and towed. There are also a decent amount of homeless walking around so lock your cars!

From groups of people playing trivia to excellent food, to music I didn’t like, to watching hockey on TV, Loosey’s was perfect.

First there was a line of people outside waiting to order and get seats for the upcoming trivia game. I waited, though I did not play.

Inside was a bar that was quite full, loud and very busy. It is a bar.

Finally ordered my dinner, it is expensive at Loosey’s, be ready to pay.

I had the 14 oz Prime Rib Steak. IT WAS PRIME. Best damn steak I have eaten in many years.

The fries that came with it were crunchy and delicious.

I also ordered a Loosey Salad. It to was great.

The servers were all very good and made sure everything was just perfect.

Was the food, service and atmosphere worth the $40 price tag for one person?

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

I very highly recommend Loosey’s.
