Sarasota Sahib Shrine Event Center

Service was brutal waited 18 minutes to get service at the bar then just left after being ignored all that time! Big crowd brutal management! If you expect 500 more people than usual bring in more staff or stop hiding in the back manager! Too bad it could have been better but big time management fail!

Great fun and fellowship. Was here for the installation tonight.

Great outdoor "tiki bar". Live music, great prices. Make sure you check it out.

Band was great. Service was horrible. Three girls work in the bar and they couldn't take care of 18 patrons sitting at the bar. One couple next to me got up and left because they got sick of waiting to get a drink.

Fabulous venue! Live music! And very friendly servers! Lots of happy customers! Had a blast there!👍

Beautiful new open air covered bar restaurant area. Live music on Friday night OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. So many private venues are closed to the public.
Staff was friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was just ok. Server was not on the ball. They had problems with the hee waffle maker. Won't be going back there in the future.

I love what the Shriners do, my grandfather was one.
That said, this is not the place for me. The outside bar/tiki hut I already reviewed and found it seriously lacking. But friends invited me out for music & a drink and this was the venue.
Actually, the music was outside but the servers were so underwater out there we came inside to get our first drink just to be sure we actually got one. Not the only ones thinking that way, I'm afraid. It took 20 minutes standing at the bar to get served and cashed out. Slammed inside, too.
For a full bar, the lack of any spirits outside the absolute mainstream should be some kind of a clue. Seems that if it isn't advertised heavily, they don't stock it. Probably points towards the clientele more.
The 3 servers inside were amazingly upbeat considering the massive amount of orders they were faced with. Kudos. The cleaning aspect was being overlooked at that moment, however. Small spill, get it later.
Moving around inside is relatively easy, double doors everywhere, ramps, plenty of handicapped parking, but the interior bar area was tight.
