OASIS - Sarasota's Premier LGBT+ Venue

What a dilapidated, filthy, rundown dump. Bathrooms smelled of urine and mildew. I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. Premier bar hahahaha compared to what? Bartender was friendly and that’s the ONLY positive thing. Parking lot and entrance littered with trash and bottles and weeds. What a sad representation of a gay bar. Having operated many businesses I was appalled that the city allows this bar to stay open. No reply from owner required. There is absolutely no excuse for any of the deplorable conditions in this establishment! Pictures are very misleading

My friend and I came from out of town and went there last night. Super cool experience - the staff of bartenders, doorman, dancers, etc… everyone was very welcoming and added greatly to the atmosphere. Special thanks to Christina for making her rounds and making sure we were having a good time!

I wasn't expecting much when I went for the first time. Not the most aesthetically appealing place I've been, but I had a great time. My drinks were strong and music was great. The dancers are a welcome plus. The manager is super friendly and staff was pleasant. I've gone back on a few occasions and always have a great time.

I had a bad experience with a show there...GNO and originally wrote a bad review. I spoke with the owner Hunter who explained it was and issue with Girls Night Out and not a reflection of Oasis. Other than parking l love the bar and the atmosphere.

Slowly became a regular over time, friendly staff, very fun and happy bar, good music, bartenders that are fantastic at their job, but most importantly... the staff members are very caring and prompt about searching for a card. I lost a card here and they immediately banded all the bartenders to search for it. Yes it was found, and thank you Oasis for being so attentive and above and beyond for your customers!

Been there 3 times. Bathrooms are disgustingly dirty. The bar allows smoking so youll smell like an ashtray when you leave. The bottle beer selection is limited to Bud, coors and miller beer. The dancers are usually pretty good. They even have a women in the mix, which is great. Bartender was busy chatting with friends. Not great service, not horrible, just ok. Certianly not the worse gay bar, but its more of a bar ,not a club. The bar next to a straight bar and there are lots of other bars within walking distance. They do have a security guard in uniform which probably keeps the straights from bothering with the place.

Checked it out over Memorial Day weekend. Not sure I would refer to it as the "Premier" venue. The bartender was pretty nasty as he was more interested in getting back to playing pool. Don't know his name and did not care to ask. Cigarette smoke is pretty thick so they could use some ventilation/fans to help clear it out. Might check it out again or bypass it and head to Tampa. Did not bother to stay for the dancers

The place is obviously long shut down. I don't know why this is still showing on Google. I circled from 6 to 7pm Friday night and the place is dark and deserted inside. It seems the only gay bars left are in St Pete or other distance cities. Sarasota and Bradenton has become depressing for a single gay guy looking to make friends.
