Crafty Bastards Restaurant - Gainesville (FL)

3 /5 Alexander Applegett: Great beer selection and efficient service. Unfortunately, I was terribly disappointed in what they call a French Onion Burger. Typically French onion is a slowly caramelized yellow onion instead i got bland Sautéed red onions over an equally bland burger. Id definitely come back for the beer but Id be weary to try the food again.

2 /5 Jessie Rabin: Food was suboptimal at best. Beer cheese and bread is microwaved pretzels with a beer cheese that wishes it was beer cheese. French dip is not a French dip. Its a cheese steak with au jus jelly. Our server was great. I would go here for beer and eat at home instead.

5 /5 Kathy Cremeans: Awesome food craft beers! Excellent service with knowledge bartender Ryan… really knowledgeable about the 50+ craft beers available… even a store next door that sell them! You need to try this place out! Friendly service and great food and drink!!

3 /5 Carolyn S Cawthon: The ratings look low, but I really liked this place. We went later in the evening, after a UF baseball game, and the place was mostly empty, with closing time approaching. There was a live musical act and he was pretty good. Posters on the wall show him to be a regular performer there and I enjoyed his performance. The server was excellent - very friendly and naturally easy going, but he kept on top of our needs. There is barely seating and table seating - the bar occupied by seemingly regular customers. The vibe was a little bit dive-bar style, but a comfortable and friendly place. The beer cheese was okay - not the best Ive ever had. It wasnt incorporated well, rather than being creamy and smooth, but tasty enough. The accompanying pretzel sticks were divine. My hubs had a dozen wings - the jerk ones were amazing (I did snitch a nibble). Parking was very easy, as was access in and around the place. Pricing was good. This was a good choice on the occasion, and well surely go back.
