Best KPortal Reviews
We went here after visiting an art gallery and loved the atmosphere. The owner was there and really kind, the food was tasty too! Being and to sit and visit with friends while we eat and have a drink was great, being able to play board games made it even better - and it's in a good location. Definitely give this spot a try! Where we parked was paid parking but it was a reasonable price!
It was after ten and we wanted something fun to do and something to eat. The Midnight Underground was the perfect choice! There were many games to choose from for a chill night out. We ended up distracted by the food that was better than we were expecting! The chili was so good that we all had it in some form! The chili cheese dog, and the nachos were the group favorite
I have been coming to this establishment a long time. It’s open late it isn’t noisy. Nice chill environment. Everytime I have done a long drive and I need to unwind I will come to the midnight underground. Anytime I have friends come from out of town I tell them about this establishment or I will bring them there myself. The thing I love about this establishment is how relaxed and open everyone is… mostly. I have now had two experiences that have now been very poor with this establishment. One one occasion I was walking with my family who was visiting from out of town and we had dinner reservations near by. My sister desperately needed to use the restroom. Normally I don’t pop into an establishment just to use the bathroom but today was an exception my sister didn’t know the area but I assured per. ” I go to this place all of the time the people are really nice and honestly after dinner we should grab some beers here.” We stepped in the front door and there was a staff member standing there with her arms folded and shouted “here to BUY anything” I attempted to explain the situation and the woman huffed really loudly and said “fine go ahead” while my sister was using the restroom she preceded to get angry and complain that people always come in there to use the bathroom and never buy anything. I attempted to explain to her that I come there a lot and absolutely love the place but she scoffed at me. I then attempted to explain that people probably liked coming here to use the bathroom because they know it is a safe and relaxed environment and that is the sole reason I go there myself. Because they stand out as chill and welcoming whereas other businesses aren’t. She essentially said don’t come back ever again unless I’m going to buy something. My sister came back from the restroom and said she felt uncomfortable and that she didn’t want to return to that establishment and that she felt extremely embarrassed. I agreed and I did not bring her back there. This again happened with a friend of mine who we were going to grab a beer while we were walking in. I was parking the car and my friend had to use the restroom badly he ran inside (his first time there) and by the time I’m walking to the door he said he wanted to go some place else. Apparently while he was trying to explain that he was going to purchase something after he used the bathroom first apparently a woman fitting the description of the previous woman Rudely cut him off before he could explain fully and demanded he buy something first. Needless to say I’ve been going to boca down the street instead even tho it is loud and kind of unpleasant. Which is unfortunate I have had so many amazing times there watching movies. Playing games and just having a real nice time. I’m definitely going to return here eventually but I need to wait until the sting has kinda worn off. Anyway other than those two examples this place is my favorite place in all of Gainesville it would have an almost perfect score otherwise.
The Midnight is open still. It has new owners and management. The bar is fully stocked and there are events (like Sundays Arts and Drafts).
It's a nice calm place to hang out, with lots of cool people, and great if you want to distress after work or school.
Parking is validated via a QR code, for 4 hours and you can re-validate. Or use GRU's lot on the weekends and after 6 pm.
They have craft beers, bottles, cans, wine (red and white), mimosas, ciders, the whitecap and nutrals, and some non-alcoholic drinks like soda, original sin's white non-alcoholic drink that is more like a carbonated tonic. Plus they have hotdogs, sandwiches, Mac and cheese (top tier), and chili (you can mix the 2).
Very friendly atmosphere. The place is very good for making new friends, and the beer is cheap so the place is very good! They have a night for Internationals, every Thursday, it's a good opportunity to practice new languages!
Nice bar to hang up with friends. Friendly staff and people in general. International nights are great to meet new people. They have cheap beer as well as not-so-cheap ones. I would suggest to play more music inside.
The staff, Erin, and the atmosphere was just needed. Where you can speak to the bar tender and have her be able to flow between conversation or hold one..along with good beer and quiet place..that's unique in and of itself.
Nice little surprise tucked away in a quiet area. Managed to arrive after the comedy show crowd was gone, so there was just one other person. Nice, 'that one cool friends basement' feel to it; no corporate blandness to be felt.
The chili Mac and cheese that was recommended tasted great and was very filling.
Good music and friendly staff rounded out a great experience!
Definitely will make it a stop when we make it back!
