Tony's Studio B, Lakeland, FL

It has been called the hidden gem of Lakeland.  Tony's Studio B is exactly what has been missing in Lakeland.  

Look for Studio B on Bay Street

Located on Bay Street, across the street you will find plenty of free parking. Walk through the gated alley way to find great wine, food and live music.

Open from Tuesdays to Saturdays, Studio B offers customers live music almost every night of the week. Make sure you stop by after work on Tuesdays through Thursdays to take advantage of happy hour from 5pm-8pm.

Enjoy live music at Studio B!

Happy hour includes 2 for 1 specials on select wines and beers.

Made to order fresh pizzas

I have been a few times and every time I go, I always look forward to coming back.  The owner, Tony Guinn, greets you and makes sure you are enjoying your time.

Sarah, bartending at Studio B

The first time I went with Brian we weren't sure what to expect. As soon as we walked in, the band was playing amazing music. 

Enjoying the Meiomi Pinot Noir

We fell in love with the chic atmosphere. The style is similar to that of prohibition days. 

The bartender, Sarah, was quick to say hello and ask us what we would like.

Tony's Studio B has a great craft beer selection such as SweetWater 420 IPA and Beer Barrel Bourbon. 

You won't find Turning Leaf on this wine list but brands such as Meiomi, Layer Cake, William Hill, and Stonecap. My favorite is the Meiomi Pinot Noir.

Check the board to see the specials!

They offer a tapas menu and also have a board with options such as specialty pizzas and stuffed tomatoes. I have tried the bruschetta and the pesto, sausage, poblano, mozzarella and tomato pizza. Both were very delicious!

They have a variety of bottles as well

Studio B is now open on Saturdays at 11AM to serve you brunch. It is a great place to stop after visiting the Lakeland Downtown Farmer's Curb Market. 

It is a convenient location for business meetings, girl's night out, date night, or even a glass of wine with dad.  If you are looking for that unique place that you can relax, listen to good music, drink delicious wine then Tony's Studio B is the place you want to be!

Patio850, Lakeland, Florida

It was Friday night, date night. We were ready to be fed without having to clean up the kitchen!  Patio850 was the perfect choice for us.  The patio has a live band playing on Friday nights.  It was phenomenal- live music, delicious food and unique draft beers!

Enjoying my Goose Island draft beer

When we got there, we decided to try a draft beer.  Patio850 has beers that you do not find at other locations.  We went with the Goose Island draft.  This delicious beer is made in Chicago, Illinois. 

Escargot

If escargot is on the menu, I am going to try it.  Patio850 did not let me down with my favorite buttery snails! They offer a wide array of unique appetizers such as bacon popcorn, marinated olives, and even duck liver with pear pate. 

Not Your Everyday Wings

For our main dishes, Brian ordered the chicken wings and I ordered the pizza. Now, do not think that these are items similar to what you get a bar.  The chicken wings are entitled "not your everyday wings."  The pizza was Patio850's "stone perfect" pizza.  The chicken wings are first beer braised then oven roasted. They are served with a special house sauce, herbs and blue cheese. 

Stone-Perfect Pizza

The pizza had mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, goat cheese, arugula, baby spinach, mushrooms, red onions and truffle oil.  Without a doubt, it was "stone-perfect." 

Other pizzas I am interested in trying that are unique: the To Brie or Not to Brie- red onion jam, great brie, cranberries, candied walnuts and fresh herbs, and the Swine Smackin' Good- BBQ Pork Butt, Bacon, Red Onion Jam, Mozzarella.  If you want something other than pepperoni pizza, this is the place to visit.
