Krazy Kooters

"Owners are great and very friendly. The bartenders are great as well , very attentive. We go mainly on Friday nights for Karaoke. We shoot pool, and have met new friends. I enjoy the small bar atmosphere.Wonderful place and Ice Cold Beer. Smoking is allowed but it hasn’t been very smoky inside at all. If you haven’t been here, well come on out sometime!"

"I would be more than happy to meet with you both over cocktails or just somewhere to give you more information and possibly more context. If you would like to private message me on Facebook I will give you my phone number and we can set something up? (I wasn't sure how to reply) What can I say about Krazy Kooters? I wish I could say that this is going to be a positive review. Let me be perfectly clear, Krazy Kooters has been a staple in my and my husband's social life since our arrival in Central, FL., more than 12yr ago....... Over the years, we made many lasting friendships at "Kooters". I was confident, even under new owners, things would continue to move forward, and it sure seems like it has. I think it's a premium location and, if you put the right personalities, with customer service oriented staff in this place they'll be unstoppable. I was pleased to find out that the ice cold beer has not changed a bit. There were a few noticeable changes, (new games, a couple missing though) Free pool table is gone and my favorite bartender, Carly Quinn, moved on, to The Caribbean Bay! WOW, did "The "Bay" get the better bartender in that deal or what?! Carly has to be one of the very few bartender I've ever encountered, that can instantly make you feel like she genuinely cares. Anyway, moving on to my review....... This past Saturday night, just as I started to pass by Krazy Kooters Bar, on Highway 17, I decided to stop and have a couple of drinks. It was always such a light-hearted, fun, safe welcoming place socialize. I had heard the Townley's sold the bar, so I was kind of curious to see if a lot had changed. One of the bartenders, my ex-husband and I have history, it's not pretty and none of us should be proud of it. Until that day, I thought it had all just pretty much blown over. I walked in, said hello to the only other person in the bar, besides the bartender, and asked the bartender for a Miller Lite. I was immediately told I'm not welcome at "Kooters" and to leave. I was shocked and surprised, had there been more than one other person in I would have been humiliated as well, to say the least. The bartender was not quiet about it either. Sadly, I think this place, where I once felt so comfortable, welcome, valued and at home, this place just didn't feel like home anymore. I won't be back !"

"LOVE this place! Wish we had known about it sooner and now it’s our go-to place in Bartow area. Bartender Jordan could NOT have been nicer or more attentive, I mean seriously this woman has our drinks ready before we even know we need another one! I saw a post mentioning something about possible “skin color” prejudice which is wild to me because every single time we’ve been there it’s a rainbow of colors and all seem happy! Two pool tables, an outdoor space, punching bag machine, jukebox, clean bathrooms, fantastic Karaoke DJ on Friday nights and truly amazing bartender! If you’re not giving this place a chance you’re missing out!"

"I’ve been up a few times!! And highly enjoyed the atmosphere and the vibe! Jordan was absolutely delightful, very sweet and always with a smile on her face!! Meg and Dave are a hoot! Loved the conversation with them all! Has become my normal Friday night place!"

"Let me start off by saying I have had nothing but a great experience every time i have been in here.. I run a bar in wauchula and myself and a bunch of my regulars come down here on a Friday night for cold beer, karaoke, and a great night out. Jordan the bartender is always a pleasure when behind the bar very attentive and smiles. If you haven’t been go check it out."
