Thursday through Sunday, Bradenton's bars have a bit of everything.

Monday is a holiday for many, so consider an evening out on Sunday night.

If you prefer to stick to the traditional nights out, Bleachers, The Cellar and Tarpon Pointe have the entertainment covered Thursday, Friday and Saturday, respectively.
