The Lodge Brick City Craft Pub & Eatery, located at 36 SE Magnolia Avenue. This lively pub offers 200 craft beers, tavern fare that’s hearty and welcoming, and a full calendar of events—Fridays and Saturdays often bring dueling pianos, and there’s always something happening in the Magnolia Room upstairs. Whether you’re catching the game or laughing along with a local band, this is downtown Ocala’s energy hub.
Infinite Ale Works (304 S Magnolia Ave)—my go-to whenever I want a seriously impressive craft beer. I’ve sampled almost every option on tap during a lazy afternoon and honestly, something about that coffee imperial stout or the West Floridian quadrupel just hits differently. Even casual drop-ins will note how seamlessly they blend Belgian inspiration with local flair
The Black Sheep On Broadway, nestled at 128 SW Broadway Street—our very first stop. This lively gastropub, opened in 2019, is more than just a place to eat—it’s a fun, community‑driven experience. With a rotating selection of cold beer on tap, live weekend music, and a menu that spans American, Asian, Cuban, Italian, French, Mexican, Cajun, and Greek flavors—all under one rustic roof—this is where adventurous flavor meets local charm . Whether you’re indulging in their renowned chicken wings—ranked #2 in the state last year—or just settling into the upbeat vibe, it’s a perfect place to kick off our flavor tour
