50 Best Bars near Gulfport

“A Refreshing Concept and a Fantastic Addition to Gulfport! Sober Bar & Kitchen is truly something special. It’s not often you come across a place with such a refreshing and forward-thinking concept. What I particularly love is that it appeals to people of all ages and walks of life, creating an opportunity for genuine connection, community, and a great time without alcohol needing to be at the center of the experience. There’s something genuinely visionary about reimagining what a bar and social gathering place can be. It’s an idea that feels both innovative and long overdue, and I think it has tremendous potential. Gulfport is fortunate to have a place like this. I sincerely hope to see Sober Bar & Kitchen continue to grow and thrive. It’s the kind of unique local business that’s absolutely worth supporting. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“This was a genuinely great experience. It feels cozy and welcoming and local. The service is excellent, the food is excellent, people are friendly, nice section for darts. It feels like a real pub. It may be 100 degrees outside but I swear you feel like you are going to finish your pint and walk out into a rainy winter night in a village somewhere in the UK. It’s just so cozy and inviting.
St. Pete needed this place.“

“Went in for margaritas after seeing the great reviews. Nearly all ice, not as impressive or tasty as we had hoped. Small, too, for the price. Nice enough place-- open, clean, already in the spirit of Halloween six weeks early. The bartenders were not busy but didn't have much interest in those of us sitting right there at the bar.“

“Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Our dogs had an absolute blast and were completely worn out by the end of the visit. The food was delicious, the beer selection was excellent, and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable.“

“I lllloooooovvvveeee this place. I don’t like espresso martinis but I drink them here. Kind of a when in Rome thing. But they taste fantastic and provide fuel for the rest of the evening. They’re so popular here that the place smells like a drunken Starbucks - in a really good way! And the people watching is off the charts. Enjoy!“

“Went here with some friends on a Friday night. They had live music and really nice dart boards 🎯 the place wasn't that big but it was the perfect size & very welcoming 😎 the main reason I wanted to leave a review was because of their food. I had their special which was a Prime rib 😮 with french fries on garlic toast, it was delicious, there fries are amazing. Everything that my friends had they also loved.. All of the staff were amazing very friendly. Even the cook came out and asked how we enjoyed our food. The prices are unbeatable. I had dinner and a drink for 20 bucks prior to going to the blind shark. We had gone to another bar and it cost me 30 bucks to have two drinks.🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣😎..“

“Just wanted to shout out our favorite local bar! Always a great time at Ka’Tiki whether you’re looking for great music or great dive bar atmosphere! The weekend bands have been FIRE lately! The BLT and burgers are always great. The drinks are affordable and well made! We’ve made great friends over the years here! We love all of our Ka’Tiki family and staff and are glad that one year after digging out from Helene you’re still here! The only thing I’d change is put bartender Chris back behind the bar on Friday and Saturday nights! We need his speed and efficiency on those packed nights with the great bands you’ve been getting!“
