Midtown

Midtown Plaza is Gainesville’s go-to zone for students and locals alike—a lively stretch just steps from the University of Florida campus that blends convenience, nightlife, and game-day energy. The area is packed with quick eats, coffee spots, and bars that come alive on weekends and especially during Gator football season. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a slice, catch a show, and run into half your graduating class—all within a few blocks

​

Sticker culture thrives here too. From lampposts to bathroom stalls, layers of stickers—some promotional, others purely artistic—tell the story of Gainesville’s DIY ethos. Whether you're bar-hopping or just passing through, Midtown Plaza offers a snapshot of the city's spirited and creative community.​
