Geeks

History

Geeks is the vintage-toy store, bar, and music room at 2603 NE 17th Terrace, Gainesville, off NE 23rd Avenue near Satchel’s. The Independent Florida Alligator reported on September 8, 2026, that owner Tony Weinbender, who has run The Fest, opened the shop the previous September, and that a three-day anniversary on September 4, 2026, put a band in the yard. The shop’s site says Saturday nights are free, all-ages live music from 7 to 10 p.m. on an outdoor stage under the oaks, and that Weinbender also does The Fest. Songkick lists The Mermers there on October 31, 2026. (alligator.org; geeksgnv.com)
