Description

The piña coladas at this restaurant are fantastic. It's a perfect spot for a group of 3 people or fewer. The atmosphere is pleasant and has a great vibe.

I loved their daiquiris. Unfortunately, I think this place ended up closing

I absolutely adore Madrina's! It's my top pick for a bar in downtown Gainesville. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a romantic night out or simply hanging out with friends. They offer a wide selection of drinks, including specialty cocktails, and the bartenders are fantastic, providing top-notch service. I highly recommend trying the classic Moscow mule. Don't miss out on their happy hour specials, which run from 4-7 on weekdays and all day on Sunday. Check them out for a great experience!

Initially, the restaurant was fresh and captivating, but that novelty faded with each subsequent visit. The beverage selection feels restricted, with overly sweet cocktails and frozen drinks that seem overly ambitious. I believe they could enhance their menu by offering more balanced drinks, such as those featuring cucumber, grapefruit, or herbs. Personally, I prefer establishments like Sidecar, The TOP, or Public General for cocktails.

We've only ever been here for when it is the Miracle bar around Christmas time, but it is an awesome establishment. They inside is so cool and it's a great location in downtown. Perfect for after dinner drinks!!
