If your perfect night out involves great food, a cold drink, and live music that doesn’t drown out your conversation, welcome to your new favorite spot. Haile Village Bistro and Queens Arms Pub have carved out a space in Gainesville’s social scene with a killer combo of weekly events, local talent, and top-tier hospitality. Whether you’re looking for an easy-going date night or somewhere to let loose on a Saturday, there’s something here for everyone.
Weekly Events Worth Showing Up For
The team at Haile Village Bistro and Queens Arms have created a weekly rhythm that locals love. Here’s the lineup:
- Monday: Burger Night — gourmet burgers done right, paired with craft brews or classic cocktails.
- Wednesday: Wings & Trivia — grab a pile of wings and test your knowledge with themed trivia night.
- Thursday: Karaoke Night — Get weekend ready, grab the mic and give it your all.
- Friday: Fish & Chips + Live Music — start your weekend with a British classic and local bands playing everything from acoustic sets to upbeat folk.
- Saturday: Karaoke Night — unleash your inner rockstar (or cheer on the brave souls who do).
- Happy Hour: Daily from 3–7 PM with drinks and bites that make clocking out feel like a celebration.
Every week has a familiar structure, but no two nights feel the same. Themes rotate, musicians change, and trivia topics keep it fresh.
Featured: Friday Night Live Music
Twice a month, Queens Arms transforms into a mini concert venue — minus the overpriced tickets and sticky floors. Local musicians take the stage with sets ranging from bluesy originals to acoustic covers of your favorite 90s hits.
The vibe is always upbeat and welcoming, with a crowd that actually listens and a team that makes sure your pint is never empty.

Great Food That Keeps Up with the Fun
Let’s be real: most places with live music phone it in when it comes to food. Not here. At Haile Village Bistro and Queens Arms, the kitchen delivers consistently across brunch, dinner, and late-night snacks.
Some crowd favorites include:
- Gourmet Burgers
- Buttermilk Chicken Tenders
- Freshly prepared sandwiches and wraps
- Beer-Battered Fish & Chips
- Fresh Salads & Rotating Seasonal Specials
The menu offers plenty of variety, and everything is served with the kind of thoughtful attention that makes you feel like more than just a table number.
The Crowd: Friendly, Fun, and Totally Local
This isn’t the kind of place where you need to dress up or shout over EDM remixes. The crowd here is a mix of long-time Gainesville residents, university staff, local musicians, and a handful of well-behaved dogs (yes, the patio is pet-friendly).
The atmosphere is relaxed and social. You’ll find people meeting up after work, parents enjoying a rare night out, and groups of friends singing their hearts out at karaoke.
