“Review of Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille St. Pete Pier We ventured from the Hyatt Place to Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille on foot as a group, which allowed us to enjoy each other's company and the beautiful St. Petersburg Pier at night. The walk was short and pleasant, enhancing our overall experience. Upon arrival, we were fortunate to secure an immediate reservation for a table for seven, even though the restaurant was bustling. Our server, Noah, was exemplary. He swiftly took our drink and appetizer orders, managing our table and others with remarkable efficiency and a friendly demeanor. We began with two dozen oysters on the half shell, which impressed even our Louisiana-native friends accustomed to seafood. They declared these oysters the best, largest, and freshest they had ever tasted, enhanced by a variety of sauces and hot sauces provided at the table. Doc Ford's offered an array of island-themed drinks, including non-alcoholic versions for our group member in recovery. I opted for the dry rub ribeye, cooked perfectly to my preferred temperature, accompanied by mashed potatoes and asparagus. The steak's charred exterior added a delightful flavor while keeping it juicy. Two of our team members ordered the seafood hiatus, a generous portion of shrimp, fish, and other seafood, which they enjoyed immensely. Other team members praised the ribs and fresh shrimp dishes, all of which were excellently prepared. As the evening progressed and the restaurant emptied, we enjoyed engaging conversations with Noah and other staff members. We shared a memorable moment watching the University of Tennessee baseball team win in the College World Series. This interaction, along with a shared appreciation for Drew Talbert's Bistro Huddy videos, made for a memorable night. Our visit to St. Petersburg for the Southern Lock & Supply Learning Expo and Trade Show was a success, and our evening at Doc Ford's created lasting memories. The restaurant's setting on the pier, excellent food, and friendly staff made for an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille to anyone visiting St. Petersburg who wants an authentic, nautical dining experience near the water. Contact Information: - Address: St. Pete Pier - Phone: (727) 857-8118 I will be sharing this review on various platforms to spread the word about this fantastic restaurant.“

“Evan and Olivia are two of the best people on the planet!!!! Highly recommend stopping by to see them for fun times and tastier drinks“

“The Best Place to eat on the beach! Awesome view of the Gulf. Great food and the best service! Try the Fish and chips , my fish was hanging off both side of my plate. The manager Ian runs this place like a top! I even tried to hire him (sorry Caddy’s owner) but he loves his job here.“

“The convinces of just being able to walk right of the island inn to your umbrella or cabana.“

“Dive bar at its best. So much to look at. Fun atmosphere.“

“My waitress called me a beta“

“Blind Shark was the closest bar to our Airbnb and did not disappoint. Coming from Wisconsin, we don't have local watering holes you can smoke inside, so that was a huge plus to us! Drink selection was perfect for our simple tastes, and the locals/bartenders were great. Food was amazing also!Their karaoke night, I made sure to sign up. In the process, I made a friend (who is a local) and got her to sing with me for her first time in years! My fiance and I became friends with her and her husband, spending time with them outside of the bar during our stay.The hospitality is bar-none (no pun intended) and I'd be ecstatic to go back in the future. Very comfy space.“

“Friends vacation 2024 and again 2025. The 8 of us stopped here after shopping at John's Pass. Perfect way to sit back and relax! Great food, drinks, and music! We definitely will be back“

“beautiful people..... lovely place“

“Tequila Daisy is the best place for tequila based cocktails. The service is amazing and the drinks are delicious.

If you go you need to try the namesake drink Tequila Daisy it basically a reimagined margarita but better in every way

We have tried almost all of the named cocktails in their menu and they are all very very tasty.

If you are in downtown St. Petersburg this place needs to be on your list to stop in.“

“Every time I vacation at Madeira Beach Yacht Club Condo Rental, I always make it a point to visit the Saltwater Hippie Beach Bar. The atmosphere is fun, and the vibes ae always positive. The live bands never fail to impress!“

“Amazing welcoming Staff, and entertainment ✨ just found my favorite place within the st Pete area.“

“Gooses is quickly becoming our Go-To local bar! With their fun and welcoming staff, great bar menu and super reasonable drink prices, they ARE the quintessential neighborhood bar! Steve, the owner, is a good sport and always does what he can to accommodate his guests. They're cheese steaks are AWESOME! (order them with jalapenos. You'll thank me later!) They have dozens of TVs for watching "The Game" along with Darts, Pool Tables and other arcade games! You can count on my wife and I to be there on game day! 5 -Stars All The Way!“
