La's Midway Saloon, Lake Alfred FL

They have good drinks and good burgers but if aren't a regular good luck getting service.

We are from Orlando, but stopped by today (30 DEC 2023) around 1300 hrs on a Polk County Dive Bar Crawl (that my wife and I invented like an hour before getting there) after paying for our new puppy in Mulberry, and we were fortunate enough to meet Jamie & Amanda The Cake Queen and some locals.

This place is so much fun. Honestly, it's like an inverted Tardis, in that it is HUGE on the outside, but not as big on the inside - that being said it is a trip that is totally worth anybody's time that is out looking for mayhem and misadventure in Polk County.

(Side note: Have fun, but be responsible. We all know that Grady Judd and his boys are highly effective at what they do, so should you overindulge, please do the right thing and find alternate transport to your sleeping arrangements.)

Jamie makes badass Bloodies (try her Bloody Mary's - just make sure she keeps the cap on the spices) and then have a Doctoral level discussion on pickles with her, because you won't be disappointed. Spoiler alert: The pickles are dope.

The bar is well stocked, and the place is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. This is obviously an establishment owned by a team that takes pride in their establishment, and that pride is reinforced by the team on the other side of the bar. It's a bummer that it is an hour from us, because this would be THE place we'd go to to booze it up.

28 out of 5 stars, will go again.

First time there and I will return. Bartenders were awesome and customers were very friendly and they sell miller high life in the bottle. Band was good. It's very biker friendly and a fun down to earth atmosphere. Loved it.

Great place to go hangout! Best bartenders in town! Sometimes they have bands and you can sit outside and listen to them while relaxing from a long day! The owner is a top notch woman who knows how to treat her customers! And did I not mention the coldest beer, lol!

We enjoyed the places sort "friends in low places" atmosphere, but it was SSOOO LOUD, we couldn't talk with friends w/o shouting. And the music wasn't even playing. It cleared out a little after lunch, but then the music started and back to hollering. I'm not usually mindful of that, but this was just TOO much.
Asked if taco salad was in a bowl and they said yes. Perhaps I should have been more specific and accurate and asked if it was in a shell. Bowl it was.
French fries were outstanding and home made. Wife's teriyaki burger came wo the teriyaki, it was good, but kitchen didn't seem to be worried about accuracy.
Table service was top notch.
Were it not for the decibels it might be a fav, but it was too much.

Zz Karaoke Trail brought the Purple J and I to this awesome Monday Happy Hour lunchtime Karaoke action.
And we are singing with Ching Ching which is always a great way to begin another day in Karaoke Paradise where the Karaoke Epidemic continues

This is a little hole in the wall bar. Offers a couple of pool tables that are hard to play on due to how close they are to the walls, doors, tables, and each other. They also have a juke box & a few tables. Everything is way too close to each other making it really hard to even move around.

Fun place with pretty good food for a bar/roadhouse. Great owner who really cares about making it fun for customers and a heart of gold.

Roadhouse

Fun spot for local music and a few drinks. Rustic but enjoyable. Good food onsite and helpful staff

Great bike/dive bar (my favorite kinda place) great food & events. Awesome stop during a ride or final destination to enjoy weekend entertainment.

Drinks were reasonably, tried to order food 3 times but were out the food or not making it on Sunday. Smoking is allowed so know this when you go. I like old dive bars and I liked this one except the food problem.

I love it. There is great outdoor seating. And the love music is in the barn. I had so much fun.
