Kids Eat Free: Your Family Dinner Win Every Tuesday and Sunday in Gainesville

Let’s be real dining out with kids can be expensive, chaotic, and occasionally soul-destroying. But not at Haile Village Bistro. Every Tuesday and Sunday PM, families can breathe a little easier knowing the kids eat free and the grownups still get to enjoy real food in a relaxed setting.

Here’s why this weekly dinner deal has become a lifesaver for Gainesville parents (and a crowd-pleaser for the little ones too).

The Deal: Simple, Straightforward, Stress-Free

No fine print. No bait-and-switch. Just a proper deal:

  • Every Tuesday & Sunday
  • 5 PM – 8 PM
  • Kids under 12 eat free with the purchase of an adult entree

It’s a perfect end-of-week option for families who are done cooking, done cleaning, and just want to sit down to something decent.

The Menu: Real Food Kids Will Actually Eat

Let’s talk food. The kids’ menu here isn’t an afterthought, it’s genuinely appealing, with favorites like:

  • Mini cheeseburgers and fries
  • Grilled chicken with mashed potatoes
  • Pasta with butter or marinara
  • Mac & cheese
  • Fresh fruit sides

Add a juice, a lemonade, or a chocolate milk, and you’ve got a happy table without the mealtime meltdowns.

Meanwhile, Grown-Ups Get the Good Stuff

This isn’t a sacrifice meal for adults. You can enjoy something genuinely satisfying while the kids chow down. Fan favorites include:

  • Gourmet Burgers
  • Buttermilk Chicken Tenders
  • Beer-battered Fish & Chips
  • Seasonal flatbreads and fresh salads

Pair it with a glass of wine or something from the local beer list. You’ve earned it.

The Atmosphere: Casual, Friendly, and Kid-Approved

The team at Haile Village Bistro knows how to make families feel welcome. Crayons and highchairs? Yep. A relaxed patio where kids can wiggle a bit without judgment? Absolutely.

It’s a place where everyone at the table gets to relax — not just the grownups. And you’ll be surrounded by other families doing the same, so there’s no side-eye if someone drops a sippy cup.

Bonus: Make It a Full Evening

Dinner doesn’t have to be the whole event. Haile Village is a great spot for a post-meal stroll. Let the kids walk off their grilled cheese, check out the fountains, or grab a little dessert to go.

Parent-Tested, Gainesville-Approved

The Visit Gainesville reviews speak for themselves, and local families keep coming back week after week. It’s affordable, easy, and actually enjoyable for everyone involved.

Come See What All the Fuss Is About

If you’re in Gainesville and looking for a kid-friendly dinner spot that doesn’t feel like a fast food fallback, Haile Village Bistro has your Tuesday and Sunday nights sorted.

A Perfect Day in Haile Village, Gainesville Florida

From Brunch to Beer: A Local’s Perfect Day in Haile Village

If your ideal day involves good food, great company, and a bit of a breeze through the trees, you’ll love what Haile Village in Gainesville has to offer. It’s the kind of place you don’t rush through — you stroll, you sip, you stay. Here’s how to make the most of it, from morning to night.

9 AM – Start with Brunch at Haile Village Bistro

It all begins with brunch. Grab a patio seat under the oaks and dive into a plate of coconut shrimps,  Chicken Philly sandwich,  or a Veggie Wrap that’ll ruin you for anywhere else. Pair it with a mimosa or French press coffee and let your brain slowly catch up with the day.

Bonus points: It’s dog-friendly, so bring your pup and soak up the community feel that makes Haile special.

11 AM – Wander the Village

After brunch, take a slow stroll through Haile Village’s charming streets. Browse local boutiques, pop into the gift shop for something unexpected, or check out what’s new at the art gallery. If it’s a Saturday, the Haile Farmers Market is in full swing with everything from fresh produce to handmade soap.

This is your permission slip to meander.

1 PM – Light Lunch or Coffee Reload

Need a little something between meals? Head back to the bistro for a freshly prepared sandwich and iced tea or slip into the pub side for a mid-day cider. Not hungry? Grab a takeaway coffee and snag a bench to do a bit of people-watching.

3 PM – Let Happy Hour Begin

By now, you’ve earned a drink. Lucky for you, Queens Arms Pub kicks off happy hour at 3 PM. That means cold beers, crisp wines, and cocktails without the usual price tag.

Try a local IPA, a classic British pint, or something sparkling if the mood calls for it. The bar staff will remember your name if it’s not your first time — and probably even if it is.

5 PM – Dinner, Pub Style

Dinner is casual but memorable at Queens Arms. Friday? Get the fish & chips. Feeling adventurous? Try one of our Gourmet Burgers. Just want comfort food? The wings or wraps won’t let you down.

The pub menu offers a solid mix of crowd-pleasers and local surprises — all served with zero fuss.

7 PM – Stick Around for the Vibes

As the evening settles in, the pace slows just a touch more. If it’s a live music night, settle into a patio seat and enjoy the set. If not, grab a board game or just stay put and chat with your table.

Karaoke on Saturdays? Go ahead, belt it out. This crowd is here for it.

Why It Works

It’s not about rushing through a list of things to do. A perfect day in Haile Village is about the pause — enjoying each bite, sip, and moment without looking at the clock. It’s a lifestyle more than an itinerary.

Ready to Plan Your Own?

Haile Village Bistro & Queens Arms Pub are open daily and always happy to see you. Check the Haile events calendar and start sketching out your own version of a day well spent.

Whether you come for brunch, dinner, or the full tour, you’ll leave wondering why you didn’t do it sooner.

Let’s face it: a lot of happy hours are more hype than happy. But not at Queens Arms. Tucked into the heart of Haile Village, this laid-back British-style pub delivers a happy hour that hits the spot without hitting your wallet.

If you’re looking for chill vibes, quality drinks, and pub food you’ll actually want to eat, here’s why this is the happy hour Gainesville locals keep coming back to.

When It Happens (and Why That Matters)

Queens Arms Pub keeps it classic: Happy Hour every day from 3–7 PM. That’s four solid hours of reason to clock out early, wander over, and let the world slow down a little.

What’s on the Menu: Drinks that Deliver

The Happy Hour drink specials rotate, but you can count on:

  • Half PRICE  draft beers, including local IPAs, classic lagers, and British pints
  • Discounted cocktails like mules and margaritas (when using “house” or “well” liquor)
  • House wine specials for red, white, and sparkling lovers

Whether you want something refreshing, comforting, or strong enough to forget your inbox, they’ve got you covered.

Don’t Forget the Food (Seriously)

Most places hand you a sad little bar menu. Queens Arms goes the opposite route.

Happy hour food favorites include:

  • Buttermilk Chicken Tenders
  • Pub Wings tossed in house sauces
  • Gourmet Burgers
  • Loaded fries, wraps and sandwiches

These aren’t just snacks — they’re full-on reasons to skip cooking dinner.

The Vibe: Come as You Are, Stay as Long as You Like

No velvet ropes. No pressure. Just a patio full of people laughing, a bar staff that actually remembers your name, and regulars who welcome you like you’ve been coming for years.

Whether you’re unwinding solo with a pint, catching up with coworkers, or turning a drink into a night out, this is your spot.

Bonus points for being dog-friendly and patio-perfect most of the year.

Pro Tips from the Regulars

  • Fridays: Come early — seats go fast before live music kicks off.
  • Wednesdays: Pair Happy Hour with trivia for the perfect midweek boost.
  • Weekdays: Great for remote workers and quiet conversation.

Fish, Chips, and Friday Night Feels: Join Us for a Classic British Night at Queens Arms

Some things are just meant to be together: fish and chips, pints and music, and Friday nights in Gainesville spent at Queens Arms Pub. This weekly tradition brings a slice of Britain to Haile Village with crispy, beer-battered Haddock, golden fries, and that perfect Friday pub buzz

Why Fish & Chips? Why Not.

This isn’t some frozen basket of soggy disappointment. At Queens Arms, the fish and chips are done right — flaky Haddock fillets dipped in house-made beer batter and fried to a golden crunch. Served with thick-cut fries, tartar sauce, and a wedge of lemon, it’s the kind of plate that doesn’t need explaining. It just needs eating.

Add a pint of something cold and British (hello, Guinness) or something crisp and local, and you’ve got yourself a very happy Friday.

What Else Is on the Table?

We get it — not everyone is here for the Haddock. Lucky for you, Friday night is also the perfect excuse to explore the menu. Popular pairings include:

  • Wings with house-made sauces
  • Bistro Burger with fries
  • Chicken Tender Basket with Fries

Whether you’re flying solo or feeding a crew, the kitchen delivers pub comfort food with care and consistency.

Add a Soundtrack to Your Supper

Every other Friday, Queens Arms brings in local musicians to liven up the night. No ticket, no cover, just great live music while you dig into dinner.

Expect everything from mellow acoustic covers to soulful folk and bluesy duos. It’s the perfect background to your meal — upbeat enough to create a vibe, laid-back enough to hold a conversation.

To see who’s playing next, check the Haile Village events page and make it a date.

Crowd Favorite for a Reason

What makes Friday nights at Queens Arms so special? It’s the combo:

  • Hot food, cold pints
  • Friendly staff who actually remember your name
  • A space where you can unwind without shouting over club music
  • A local crowd that keeps it casual, warm, and welcoming

This is the kind of tradition you stumble into once and keep coming back to. And let’s be honest, once you’ve had proper fish and chips done right, you’re ruined for anywhere else.

  • When: Fridays from 5 PM until close
