From band to bar.
The Twisted Oak started as a dream between musicians. Watch how it became Dade City's live music room.
Upcoming shows
Live music most Fridays and Saturdays. Usually no cover, sometimes a small one depending on the artist.
More than a bar.
A listening room, a guitar shop, and a good place to sit with a beer. Forty-five minutes north of Tampa.

A real stage
Rock, blues, country, folk, and everything between. Local favorites and touring acts, up close, most weekends.
Guitar shop
Acoustics, electrics, and vintage finds on the wall. Pick one up and play it.
Beer and wine
Local drafts, craft cans, and a solid wine list. No liquor, and nobody misses it.
The room
Reclaimed wood, warm light, and a bar top cut from a single slab. Kids are welcome until 11 PM.
The guitar shop.

- Acoustic guitars, beginner to pro
- Electrics, classic to modern
- Vintage and rare instruments

Book the room.
Birthday, company party, rehearsal dinner, celebration of life, album release. Give your people a real stage and a bar instead of a back room at a chain restaurant.
- The whole bar or a reserved section, depending on the night and the headcount.
- Stage, lights and the house PA. Bring your own band or playlist, or ask us to book one.
- Beer and wine at the bar, and any caterer or takeout you like for the food.
- Sundays and Mondays are wide open, so those are the easiest days to have the place to yourselves.
Pricing depends on the day, the headcount and whether you want live music. Tell us what you are planning and we will send options, usually within a day or two.
