First and foremost, the “host” for Bingo Night must believe since I’m someone of COLOR that I wouldn’t know the songs to play Bingo - when I in fact knew the names of most the tunes he played. He went around giving everyone a Bingo card except me. Distasteful, disrespectful, and very much so typical Ocala racism.
**But had the FULL audacity to play songs ft Ludacris, Michael Jackson, etc., make it make sense.
My server was sweet. She was tending to so many tables but she was still as attentive as she could be.
The Robin grilled cheese was pretty good but the fries - oh my gracious the fries are bland. The fries resulted in a low rating.
Decent atmosphere but obviously not the place for individuals with melanated skin.
I came for the AYCD wine but they didn’t have my preferred wine so I went with the Wild Blueberry Cider - can’t go wrong with a cider.
I, personally, cannot recommend this place based off my experience BUT I won’t steer people from giving it a chance. They got my money but it’s certainly the last.

I absolutely love The Magnolia room! The teacher, Eryn takes her time to break down the step sheet to ensure you know the dance before moving onto the next step. She teaches both beginners and advance line dancing classes every Saturday night at 8:30. Classes stop at 10:30 and from there we are free to play whatever we want. The bartender is excellent and always entertaining and the dj loves his jokes and fun interaction

Amazing experience. My wife and I came here at a pretty busy time and our server, Sarah greeted us and was wonderful. She was super friendly and gave us great drink recommendations. Our food and drinks were great and service was fast. Loved the pretzels.

My partner and I went here for a comedy show in The Magnolia Room, thinking it would be a one-off night at the venue for us because of the drive from GNV. Well, The Lodge is now going to be our new go-to location for any time we want a relaxing and enjoyable night for good food and a great atmosphere! The fish-and-chips were the best I've had since living in England, the bartender was amazing at juggling the crowd, and everyone was just so kind and friendly. I do not leave my house very often anymore; The Lodge will get me out the door more often :-)

Great drinks and food with friendly staff. The food is not your typical pub food. It is higher quality. I had a very good buffalo flat bread and my wife had Mac and Cheese with broccoli added. Price was a value. Drinks were strong and the beer cold. Also, dog friendly.
