These games not only provide entertainment but also spark conversations and create memories.

A Space for Everyone

"Gators & Gypsies was named in honor of having one side of the venue dedicated to designs & games appealing to men, and the other dedicated to appealing to women. The idea is to have one place where both men and women can enjoy time together and separately, while everyone has a space to feel at home," said Ginny Hendly, owner.

The grand opening saw an incredible turnout. Now open to the public, Gators & Gypsies offers nightly-themed events, including karaoke, open mic nights, and paint & sip sessions. The venue is also available for private rentals, perfect for parties, team-building events, and meetings, with an events team ready to assist in planning unforgettable gatherings.

As we look forward to the future, Gators & Gypsies promises to be a place where the town comes together to enjoy live music, art, arcade games, and pool in a nostalgic atmosphere that's like no other.
