​MARCH G2H2:
TAMIAMI TAP + Sarasota Film Festival

​Event Details:

Join us for our 99th G2H2 at one of our favorite locations... Tamiami Tap as we launch this year's LGBTQ films at the Sarasota Film Festival.

ABOUT TAMIAMI TAP:
Tamiami Tap is a neighborhood bar that serves restaurant quality food in a coastal casual environment. We strive to provide our guests seasonal food prepared in a classic way. The menu features items that Florida gulf coast locals have come to crave and expect. Our service is based on three guiding principles. Fast, Friendly and Attentive. Genuine hospitality is shown by our staff from front to back because they understand that when people come in, they will experience these three principals throughout the night. The bar menu is driven by the same principles that guide our kitchen: local breweries available on tap, wines that people want to drink, and cocktails with a kick that are complimented with fresh squeezed juices and mixers.

ABOUT SARASOTA FILM FESTIVAL:
Each year, the Sarasota Film Festival presents a line-up of independent films that feature significant LGBTQ characters or themes. G2H2 is excited to be hosting our March G2H2 as a special launch party to announce these features on SarasotaOUT.com's Gay Guide to the Sarasota Film Festival.
