Nice to see something happening on the north side of town. Hope they do more music nights.
A Friday night with KennaDee sounds fun! Might bring my sister along.
Brenda LeeThat sounds like a fun sister night. You might want to book a table before Friday.
That sounds like a wonderful sister outing! KennaDee’s mix of folk, indie, and familiar favorites makes for an inviting evening.
The horse-themed dining room is such an Ocala touch. Makes me smile every time.
It’s a lovely nod to Ocala’s equestrian heritage. Thanks for sharing what makes the dining room special to you!
Three hours of music is nice, but can you still chat at the tables?
My husband always orders the prime rib there. I'll tell him about the music!
Acoustic music is a better fit for dinner than a loud band, if you ask me.
paul_ocalaI agree. I like being able to talk over dinner and still enjoy the music.
Love that it's a family-owned place. Hope they get a good crowd for KennaDee!
Is KennaDee playing inside or outside? The patio would be nice in the evening.
We haven’t confirmed whether KennaDee’s set is inside or outside. The restaurant can let you know about the setup and patio seating at (352) 620-2500.
Chris BennettThe article doesn't say where she'll be set up. I'd ask when you reserve a patio table.
Haven't been to Horse and Hounds in ages. This is a good reason to go back!
Donna C.Same, it's been a while for me too. I might go back for the fish and chips.
A dog-friendly patio and fish and chips? My family would be all over this.
That’s a hard combination to beat! The patio has room for diners with leashed dogs, and the fish and chips are a longtime favorite.
I like Horse and Hounds, but Friday dinner gets busy. I'd make a reservation.
Sue P.Agreed. Friday evenings there can fill up quickly, especially with music on.
KennaDee's mix of folk and familiar songs sounds right up my alley.
Maya ThompsonSame here. Familiar songs mixed with folk sounds like a nice dinner set.
We think that blend makes her acoustic sets especially welcoming, there’s something for longtime fans and new listeners alike.
Over 25 years in Ocala is something. Glad they're still doing live music.
I didn't know they allowed leashed dogs on the patio! Good to know.
That stretch of 27 can be a drive for us, but the prime rib might be worth it!
Folk music over dinner sounds relaxing. Hope the dining room won't be too loud.
Wonder if reservations are needed for the patio on a music night?
We’d recommend calling Horse and Hounds at (352) 620-2500 to ask about patio reservations for a music night.
We took out of town family to Horse and Hounds once, and they loved the horse decor.
Carolyn PriceMy visiting cousins took pictures of the horse decor too. It feels very Ocala.
Six to nine works for us. Nice to have music that starts before it gets too late.
KennaDee has such a nice voice. Happy to see her playing in Ocala!
Fish and chips are my usual order there. Might stay for the music this time!
Can you hear the music from the patio? We'd love to bring our dog.
The patio welcomes leashed dogs, but we haven’t confirmed whether the music can be heard from there. Horse and Hounds can help at (352) 620-2500.
Patricia B.I'd check with the restaurant before bringing your dog. It doesn't say how close the music will be to the patio.
Glad to see more acoustic music around Ocala!
Prime rib and live music? That sounds like my kind of evening.
Love Horse and Hounds! KennaDee and dinner sound like a lovely Friday night!
Thanks for the love! Live acoustic music and dinner at Horse and Hounds do make a lovely pairing.
