    If you're looking for a watering hole with that neighborhood bar feel, look no further than Linkster's Tap Room in downtown Lakeland. The staff is friendly and always greets you with a smile and a "Hello, what can I get you?" There are also tons of TV's so you can watch all the sports. It's not the biggest place in town so it can get crowded on busy weekend nights but the staff is still working hard to make your visit a fun and pleasant experience. I've been going there for many years now and will continue to patronize this establishment. The manager Becca and the rest of the staff are all top-shelf.

    Absolutely LOVE linksters. Favorite bar in town for sure! They sell cigarettes and snack foods and drinks. The bartenders here make the BEST drinks around. The margaritas are soo immaculately smooth and well made its CRAZY I live an hour away, i make the drive just for these guys drinks! Highly recommend. Theyre right on the square and have a nice outdoor patio area. The vibe inside is great and the decor is nice

    It's a good place to catch up with friends. But it's way to hot in there. No AC😭🥵

    It has always been my favorite bar in Lakeland! Clean bar and bathrooms! Great service as always!

  • 5/5 Tyrone 10 months ago on Google
    Very traditional. Where as it's drinks and drinks only. No food available. But who needs food when there's plenty of drinks and sports to watch right.

  • 4/5 Christine B. 11 months ago on Google

    I went to this awesome local bar the other day and let me tell you, it deserves a solid 5-star review! The bartenders there are seriously top-notch. They know how to mix up some incredible drinks and their service is on point. Plus, they have trivia and darts, which adds a whole new level of fun to the experience. Whether you're a trivia buff or just looking to have a great time with friends, this bar has got you covered. I highly recommend checking it out! 🍻🎯

    Great staff. Great atmosphere. Clean bar and bathrooms. Extremely fast service. In fact, if you become a regular, they remember your name and drink and bring it automatically. They support their local community, and I support them. Becca is awesome. Best bartender in town! You can’t go wrong with Linksters Downtown!

    I have been coming to Linksters downtown for many years. The atmosphere is excellent and the service here is outstanding. Becca has always remembered me from the first time I walked in, which made me come back time and time again. I love a good personable bartender and one who clearly loves their job. Keep on being awesome!!!

    This is truly one of downtown Lakeland's gems! We have been patrons for more than 10 years! Doesn't matter what day or time- any bartender remembers our name, what we drink and serve it with a smile. The bartenders are professional and top-notch...no funny business happening here as they are always on their A-game! Great mix of people of all ages and a good time EVERY time!

    Linksters is a Lakeland staple! They have the best management, amazing bartenders and the best atmosphere. Drinks are always on point and so reasonably priced! & on top of all that, they always remember your name and exactly what you drink! This is a place for everyone! ♥️

  • 5/5 Kristen H. 4 months ago on Google
    Linkster’s Downtown is a staple in our community, and a great place to have a cold beverage, meet friends and hang with the amazing staff! You can hang inside to play games and watch your favorite sports event, or sit out front with an awesome view of the park! Love this place!

  • 5/5 Melinda D. 4 months ago on Google
    The service is great... very clean establishment! Fair pricing! Always feel very welcome when we go there! Love to sit outside and people watch!

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 4 months ago on Google
    This gem is located blocks away from my neighborhood, and in the heart of downtown Lakeland. As a great place to get your night started or enjoy a Sunday funday, it is a personal fav. The manager, Becca, leads her team by providing exceptional and friendly customer service. Her team follows suit treating the guests as she does - like family. I always feel safe and leave satisfied. 10/10 do recommend!! 😎

  • 4/5 Ron P. 2 years ago on Google
    Good location right across from town square. Beers are reasonable and the bartenders are all friendly and do a good job. Worst part is the number of sketchy people that come around. We've had to leave several times.
