41 Best Sports Bars near Gulfport

“Hurricane eddies has been my local pub for a while. The staff make me feel so welcome and at home. Always looking out for mine and everyone's best interest. Always entertaining and make me laugh every time I'm there. The entertainment is always great from trivia to karaoke and the bands on the weekend (music during happy hour certain days of the week too)! Can get just about any sports game on that you request. Prices on alcohol also quite reasonable for being a bar on the water. Thanks for all the good times!“

“Lauren is the best server! She engaged in conversation, she was extremely attentive to the table. The manger Christine made sure to stop by to see if we needed anything. It was a 5 star dining experience. Thank you Millers Ale House at the Seminole Center, Seminole FL.Kid-friendliness: I have a special needs child and they were so kind, caring and attentive.“

“The zingers were amazing! We had the prickly pear margarita which was great and our server Eric was super cool. He was attentive but not annoying or pushy. The dessert we got wasn’t that great but everything else about the experience made up for it.“

“If you're in St. Petersburg (or nearby!) FL and your belly is bugging you for a burger - this is the place. The burgers are big, brawny and delicious with names to match their stature: XXX Burger (Cheddar Cheese, Barbecue Sauce & Jalapeño Bacon. Served on Pretzel Roll); Black Flag (Cajun spices, Blackened & topped with Pepperjack Cheese, Jalapeño Bacon, Fire Roasted Red Peppers and Franks Red Hot Sauce); Demi-God (Cheddar, Swiss, Sautéed Mushrooms, Caramelized Onions & Horseradish Mayo) and my choice (recommended by the waitress) Wine-O (Red Wine BBQ Sauce, Bacon, Aged White Cheddar & Fried Onions). There are plenty more and plenty of wonderful side dishes but try the tater tots. It's hearty food with hockey motif (owned by legendary hockey family the Esposito's). You can't go wrong with eight ounces of Prime Black Angus beef - then let Engine 9 works its creative combinations of yummy...“

“Nadia made my 4play experience wonderful. Only in town for the night and stopped by for a drink, such a great atmosphere and Nadia kept me laughing all night with her quirky personality. Would recommend to anyone looking for a more laid back chill environment“

“Absolutely amazing!! Every time we go everything is amazing! Malory, the waitress, is AMAZING!! We always seem to get her when we go and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s quick, funny and personable. She jokes with us and makes our time at The Joint a great time.“

“When I die, I hope someone makes a bar like this and names it after me being dead. The food is good enough, the service staff is friendly, food is too affordable. (They should be charging more, from a business stability standpoint.) But it’s the indoor-outdoor vibe that puts it over the top. Burgers and fish tacos are solid. Pickle chips are made fresh. Philly egg roll was a salt bomb. Parking is limited. Don’t miss this place. Very, very St. Pete, circa 1983.“

“One of the best bars on St. Pete beach! Great atmosphere, amazing martinis, great selection of liquor and cocktails! Small food menu to satisfy the cravings from charcuterie board to hot dogs! Not a dive bar but more of a cozy place to hang out with friends, meet new people or watch some sports! Needless to say bartenders are the best! Local gem ?“

“Gabe the bartender and Sixty the bartender are the best! Service is awesome! Watching the KC and Ravens place crowded. Still awesome service! Locals make it even better. Bartenders enjoy interacting with customers making you feel special even when you don’t know anyone.“

“This Is a unique and GREAT fun spot if you love doggies! Bring your pooch or just swing by and witness pure greatness as you can grab a drink and watch puppies of all ages play in a secured area. It's like walking into heaven. 100000% recommend for both locals and visitors alike. Such a great spot!“

“Fun place with great live music. We had an issue with the front host being incredibly rude and wanting to split our party of 8 and said we could not split a bill if we sat all together. The GM resolved it quickly and kindly. Servers were friendly. We only had drinks here“

“Came here for the first time for an after party along with about 100 other people. We basically descended on this place all at once and they handled us like a pro. Food was fast, hot, and fantastic. Drinks consistently came in a timely manner, and the staff were chill yet very attentive. Atmosphere was amazing and will definitely be going back if ever in the area again.“

“Our server Alyssa D. provided exceptional service during our visit. Not only was the food consistently great in quality, but Alyssa went above and beyond what is typically expected of a server. Her customer service was top-notch and she has left a lasting impression on me and many others. I believe many service industry professionals could learn from her example. I would be delighted to have her serve us again in the future.“

“My husband I just left this place with our dog Gator, and this was our first visit. We all loved it, including Gator!!! Katrina was the first person we met when we walked in and she was very friendly, outgoing, and inviting. She checked to make sure all our dogs vaccine records were on file and checked us in quickly. Jessica was our bartender and she was on top of it when we ordered drinks, food, and goodies for our pup. She was also very friendly, outgoing, and inviting. Kyle is the one that runs the outside dog area. He keeps the place very clean, which is nearly impossible when you have that many dogs running around pooping and peeing. Unfortunately, Gator pooped in the pool but, Kyle was very quick to clean it up and do whatever else he did to make it safe and clean for the dogs again. He did several things, not sure what all it was, but he worked hard and you could tell the water was clean again. The dog area did not smell like urine or feces so, you can tell they work hard to keep it sanitized and safe for everyone. The inside was extremely clean and well kept as well, even the bathrooms! Kyle also kept an eye on all the animals to be sure they were behaving and getting along. When a dog did start to get out of line, he stepped in immediately. All staff made a point to know all dog names. I know this is a long review but, we were just so impressed with the facility and staff that I wanted to mention as much as I could. I could say a lot more but, I don’t want to make this review any longer. I highly recommend Mutts and Martini’s!!!“

“Slyce is great. Always eat here at least one time when we come to the area. Food is always good and service is great. Lots of outdoor seating and good vibes near the water. If you’re in the area and want some good and easy food then this is a great place to eat.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Have a kids menu with non pizza choices.“

“Very charming place!!!!! The Bartender Jessica was awesome and it was National Pierogi Day!!!!!! So tried the fantastic pierogis!!!!! Will be back for Beet salad lamb chops and other Polish specialty’s……Vegetarian options: Beet salad is a vegan as it gets!!!“

“I recently had an event there for a friend/co-worker retirement party. The staff was amazing at accommodating our large group of 25-30. Our server CiCi did an amazing job taking care of us and keeping all our tabs straight. The food was amazing as well. Thank you!!!!“

“This place was great. Food was good. Service was great. However while we were there our car was towed. There was no sign at parking spaces not to park. There were signs posted in other areas that we avoided. Once we we spoke with a waitress and was aware of the scam.We called towing scammers once we realized what had happened. They refused to turn around even though very close. We had to call Uber driver to take us miles down the road. While we waited for driver we realized the scam going on . We watched 6 cars towed while we stood there. They would put cones in spots until tow trucks were circling again then would remove for their next victims. So sad because we will probably never visit the area again because of this.“

“I was visiting nearby and wanted a late night snack. Luckily Kahuna's stays open pretty late. The bartender took my order quickly and after about 10-15 mins I was on my way. The chicken blt wrap was delicious. I would order it again. I would ask for no salt on the fries though. There was plenty. Kahuna's has pool tables to keep you entertained while you wait for the good good.“

“This was the best experience in dining that we had during our St. Pete stay. The server was very helpful, our food was cooked and seasoned perfectly! We got the Sesame Tuna App, Calamari, Blackened Grouper (huge portion!) with house salad and baked potato, and the Blackened Mahi Mahi with Caesar salad and Spicy Beans with rice.We sat facing the water and were able to watch pelicans, Egret, and seagulls right around the docks. We enjoyed watching gosh swim in the water in front of us, and boats coming and going.The music and Vibe was exactly what we were looking for in a beach dinner experience.“

“I recently visited The Corner Pocket when I was in town to visit my mom. As an enthusiast pool player, I needed to hit some balls and ended up here. I've visited rooms all over the country and I have to say that this room is definitely worth the visit. Clean room. Solid equipment. Nice vibe. It's everything I'd want in a room. Tables roll fast. And the table make me look like a pro when drawing the ball. Highly recommend this room if you are in the area! Thanks for taking care of me. And getting my ID back to me after I accidentally left it. Hope we cross paths again in the near future.“

“A great pizza place in a convenient location. I stopped in to get a "slyce" and ended up getting the "sunburn" which was super tasty. They have s nice sized bar with breezy access to the outdoors, friendly staff, and good music playing. I give it two thumbs up!“

“Great bartenders, would love to see more advertising for people who are not regulars so they can see the awesome drink prices and specials daily and the amazing kj on Saturday afternoon. From 1pm to 5pm. Sami bartending and she is friendly attentive and the afternoon there is great. Evenings just as awesome with Victor and Jack. Looking forward to Dawn coming back. Always a good time! There are pool tables, dart boards, bowling game and of course other games. There are many other activities throughout the week. Poker, trivia and there's always someone who has a joke or two to to tell you. Friendly welcoming neighborhood bar...gotta check it out!“

“Came here for my bachelorette party where our group was 35 people large! The bouncers ensured my entire group got in and we stayed for Derek Lersch's entire set (he was incredible). The drinks were a fair price and the bartenders were great! We had a great time.“

“Veteran-owned. And I mean a real veteran from the '60s. Very accepting of all kinds of people in this establishment. I'd call it a dive bar, because I love that bar, but wouldn't want to offend anyone. Cash only but definitely our local go to place from now on!“

“Andrew B. is an amazing bartender! Not only does he perform his job at the highest level, but he goes above and beyond to make every guest feel special. While sitting at the bar, I listened to several people just randomly talk about how he was their favorite bartender! I think that speaks VOLUMES! It is CLEAR he makes people feel welcomed, appreciated, and takes their experience to another level! He also provides entertainment I have not seen at other Applebee’s! ☺️“

“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.“

“While visiting from WI the last two weeks, we found this gem that reminded us of home, and have been back a handful of times as our default. Karaoke *2* nights in a row?? Yes please! The atmosphere was just like our home bar and the bartenders were perfectly snarky as they were friendly. (I say this all lovingly!) Next time we are in the area, will definitely be back! Thanks Sneaky D's!“

“Great experience! Drea was so nice and friendly. Delicious drinks and the coconut shrimp tacos were great. She also had great recommendations for the area.Dietary restrictions: Loved that they had a gluten free bun option! Also vegan burger.“

“We came here late near closing time after a party this past Sat night Sun morning. Our server was very nice to us and gave us what we needed to the best of her abilities. She was even very professional about reminding us it was well past time the place was closed. A good experience. Hopefully next time we go it'll be well before they close.“

“Literally the best place in St. Pete to throw axes. So much more affordable for larger groups! With being on Ferg's property, they offer full bar AND food menu! Won't go anywhere else...plus the coaches are the best! Carly & Michelle really take the time to teach you and have fun! Love it here, we always have so much fun!“

“Haven't been there very many times and usually when I do it's just an in and out I have a quick drink and right back out the door but the times that I have been there the drinks have been okay A little pricey but what bar isn't when it comes to Top Shelf liquor. Never tried any of the food so I really don't have an opinion on that. More food anyway just so that you know“

“Great prices on food and drink. Best in town. Half the price of other sports bars in the area for the same thing, basic bar menu. Staff is great. Nice mix of young, old, after work crowd and late night crowd of other restaurant personnel who go there after they close on gulf blvd. Only wish they had bar pizza.“

“I have been here a couple of times and it was ok. I went in again after a while and they had a new bartender, I think her name was kim. She was a breath of fresh air to the place, happy, smiling and professional. Hadn’t really experienced this in there before so it made such a difference. Even though they only have a beer and wine license, it was ok with me as I drink wine, so that was good. I did however notice people bringing in their own liquor and wine which I thought was odd. Not sure how you make money doing this but none of my business. How do you account for what someone has had to drink. Pretty serious if something happens as there is no evidence of why they were so intoxicated if the case may be.Anyways when I go back I hope Kim is bartending as she knows how to treat all customers both regular and occasional customers like me with kindness and is very professional.“

“I love this place! Not only did I work here for a couple years I also made it my home bar. Real chill atmosphere, 2 pool tables, a dart board, bowling game and a couple of other entertaining games. Food is good too (not as good as when I worked there, but good!)“

“The bartender Lauren was great. Kept the drinke flowing and was on top of all her guests and they were actually busy. Had a great time with her and that was minus any performers. Great little place to stop in. We're from NY and had a great time!“

“Very busy, but overall good service. We were there before a ballgame for quick bite. The one Cuban sandwich came out cold but we didn't have time to send it back, still tasted good though.Considering the pregame crowd, it was a good experience. We would definitely go back again.“

“I’m here to say that, Joe is the Man! He goes above and beyond. He’s not even the bartender but he took care of us, and I swear, I’ve never had someone go out of there way to make customers happy to stay and promote coming back. Jimmy’s you need to make Joe manager if not head bartender, if so we’ll be back with many!!!“

“Squeaky's is a fun locals place. They have a good selection of beers and some wines. The service is very good and friendly. They do allow smoking inside but they have a very good ventilation system so it's not as bad as you might imagine. Video slots are in the back and pool table in the front.“

“Smugg's is a fine family establishment that is by far my favorite smoke n poke this side of the Mississippi. You know those moments in life that make you say to yourself, "This is what life is all about." Well it's nothing like that. It's better. There's not a place on earth I'd rather be but at smuggs with a Budweiser light, hulk hogan tank top, and three of my finest sugar babies welcomed by my minx of a Russian contortionist wife. I love you Smuggler's- thank you for being you.“

“The Sports Bar & Grill was my go-to spot while visiting St. Petersburg. Candy and Desiree were so kind and respectful. They really did their best to make sure I had a great experience and made me feel like one of the locals. It's a great place to watch sports, play pool, and have fun conversations with interesting people.“
