Lakewood Ranch Cinemas

Newly renovated Cinema in downtown Lakewood Ranch Main Street. We serve Beer and Wine. Look us up on FB for Cafe menu. Look us up on our website for discounted member pricing and rewards.

When it first opened it was theater lite. Bare painted cinderblock was the decor. Over time, it has added a few amenities but the recent remodeling is really an upgrade. The refreshment stand is now in a logical location and more accessible. It has big theaters and small theaters for lesser popular fare. It’s nice to have it in the neighborhood.

Had over an hour to kill with 7yr old grandson before a movie .What a great time we had. Lovely course with fish ponds and beautiful plantings. The course was tough enough for Grandma but easy enough for him. Very nice young man running the place.

Linksters Tap Room

Reviewed By AngelaAngelaUlmer - Bradenton, Florida

We started out at World of Beer but, after 20 minutes, no waitress ever showed up (even after we asked). Well, that experience turned positive because we found a gem right around the corner! Linksters Tap Room. We spent several hours with friends and we all had a blast! Super cold beer, excellent service (they made us feel like family), and a fun, friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be going back, time and time again. So happy to have found a great neighborhood bar!!

Great little sports bar with a rowing theme. Good selection of draft and bottle craft bears. No food served in draft house but great sandwich shop and pizza restaurant in same strip mall. Very clean. Lots of Inside and outside seating. 10 TV's for watching games, etc.

Esplanade Golf & Country Club

Reviewed By rockydogz1 - Venice, Florida

Nice course, little pricey compared to the competitors!played this course a couple times as a guest from a friend. The course is a pretty nice layout pretty challenging and it has some unique narrow spots that you have to hit two. The best part of the whole course was a little tiki bar which served incredible food. As I look at other courses that I've played in the area there are much better values than this course.

Wow! Ringling left the art museum to Florida....fortunate Florida. We walked three miles to see this collection on the free admission day and it was well worth it. The collection is impressive and diverse. Avoid thinking circus: think NYC or Paris art collection.
