The design at Gulf Gate Food + Beer features wood-paneled walls, comfortable booths and the de-rigueur exposed ductwork and dangling farm lights, plus a battery of TVs tuned to every sport you can think of. It’s a fun, lively space—ideal for a weekend meetup. The bar runs along the back wall, with dozens of taps pouring beers from breweries both afar and in town (Sarasota’s Calusa Brewing is a favorite), and the menu is designed to pair with your suds. It includes a broad pick of shareable favorites like nachos ($9) and chicken wings ($7-$9), plus burgers ($5-$9.25), salads ($7.25), bowls ($8.50-$13.5) and sandwiches ($7.25-$12).
