Waterworks
1 Feb 2020
Waterworks was an awesome dive bar with great late night food. It was the first place I walked to when I moved to Tallahassee in 2008. Definitely a service industry favorite in midtown Tallahassee. The tiki drinks were never consistent - more of a cheap rum and fruit juice no matter what you ordered. So sad to hear it closed abruptly.

Waterworks
Tallahassee, Florida, United States (Closed)
Waterworks was in business since the early 1990s, but it took on its tiki theming when it moved to this location in 2000. The space was decorated in thorough retro-tiki lounge style, with a rock wall, knotty pine walls, colored lamps, thatch, and tall carved tiki poles. The windows had a "rain" effect. The food was casual fare. The tropical drinks skewed more Florida-classic, though there were some old tiki standbys, and they were served in tiki mugs. The back of Waterworks held "Spaceport," a retro-futuristic space.
Closed abruptly on January 24th, 2024.
