“Diviest dive bar we’ve ever been to. Great atmosphere. Great bartenders.“

“Stopped by this place with my friend Rajon Rondo the other day, and oh it was lovely. I had the Happy Meal, and it was incredible. Lovely view of the local 7-11 across the street. Will definitely be returning.“

“Dee the all pro manager is running a gem of a hide out bar on the water. She makes the atmosphere and the 5 star service the center of the waterfront bar. For over a year my wife and I have been coming here to see Dee and her crew and they have impressed us every single time. If you stay anywhere near cove cay, you have to come see Dee and her excellent waterfront bar.“

“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.“

“We ate at the restaurant and the food was amazing and the prices are very reasonable. We will be back!!“

“We stayed here for 4 days, out of those 4 days we kept returning to the cabana bar for a bartender named Edward. He was absolutely amazing and made our entire trip. If you see Edward at the cabana bar be sure to stop by and say hi! Great service, fantastic drinks (especially if you ask for bartenders choice!) would highly recommend over and over again.“

“This is the Pasadena Bar & Grill. It’s the finest dive bar in Pinellas and home to the massive and delicious Trucker Burger. I manned this bar through college and far, far beyond. I have brainstormed with Max Linns gubernatorial campaign managers here. I’ve met wild commercial fisherman, tradesmen, contractors, doctors, financial advisors, entrepreneurs, maids, and drug runners (past and present). Its a second home to servers, bartenders and cooks who fuel the tourist trade. During the day veterans gather to wash away the past and discuss the future of the nation with despair. Widows come to drink bad wine with their friends . Sports fans come to watch NASCAR, Lightning, Bucs and Rays with their cohorts. Putting too much emphasis on results with too little knowledge of the sports. Musicians come before and after gigs and The Wizard keeps the jukebox playing most of the day. It’s open from 8 am until 3 am. Stop in at different times to find your crowd.“

“Friendly folks. Great pool players“

“a lot of fun bartenders very nice polite and nice conversation I enjoyed the 3 hours I was there“

“A great place to watch the sunset and meet new people“

“The service & staff are awesome !!!! Good food Such a fun atmosphere !!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Just awesome the whole way around! New comers! Warm welcome from owner! Clean fun and hometown feel!“

“I was camping in Saarsota and when the hurricane blew thru I woke up face down in the street outside the Paradise Pub. I crawled in just in time for Karaoke and was able to croon "Wild Night" & won bus ticket home.Liked it so much I'll go there again , and I don't even drink !!!!!“

“I wanted to pesonally send a huge shout out to Derek and Jarrod. We had a little rooftop birthday get together for my husband and these 2 were entertaining, hard working, accommodating and stellar. Thank you both for the delicious drinks and conversation!“

“Stopped by here last night and the food was amazing! I had my doubts because it looks like bar with bar food. I was wrong. The food was out of this world!! It’s a little dark in there but the service was excellent as well. The bartender was taking care of the whole place. I highly recommend this place.“

“Stopped in for a drink while on vacation. The drinks were great! The bartender was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back!“

“Amazing poolside bar with small food menu. It was nice to have a drink by the pool after being in the ocean. Able to take drinks back down to the beach as well. We came by almost daily during our vacation at Island Inn and would come back in a heartbeat! Scott is the best! Thank you for welcoming us and being a great guy to chat with; even if you’re an Okie! lol

Parking: Parking is limited to Island Inn guests however there is a paid to park lot just next to the hotel.“

“beautiful people..... lovely place“

“Love CJ's!!! So much fun and such a great venue for live music!!! And can't beat the food!“

“This is a nice place and would have rated higher had there not been a lot of construction going on.

Parking: Construction at the time of visit was the only issue. This caused parking to be a challenge however it will be much nicer once completed.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get to via wheelchair“

“Love the atmosphere and the menu is super yummy“

“come and hang out wonderful“

“This was a great beach bar restaurant. We are doing window film on the new Winter the Dolphin's Beach Club. Not too many places are open due to the circumstances but I had an amazing grouper sandwich and I saw the attention when and to everyone wearing gloves and they were super prepared. Great job. I would highly recommend this beach bar restaurant.“

“great bar, great atmosphere“

“We visited from New Jersey on our vacation. Awesome place. Wine is OMG out of this world. After a lovely wine tasting we left with 12 bottles. It was quite difficult not to open it on our drive home dealing with I95. I do so wish we had a "Miami Ave" in NJ. Thank you for a really terrific wine treat. We will be back !“

“I have had the good fortune to visit the Rum Fish resort aka Guy Harvey multiple times a year for several years. It is the staff that makes places like the Sandbox. Rachel has remembered my son even though there was a year hiatus due to COVID. Staff like Patrick always make everyone feel welcome. I highly recommend the Sandbox for families or individuals just looking for a welcoming fun atmosphere on the beach.“

“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.“

“Place was spectacular , drinks were good, band was great all around a great night.“

“Friendly staff, good food, great view.“

“Outstanding food and outstanding service, what more do you need? Great atmosphere, live music, clean, awesome cocktail menu…Do I need to continue? Can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“Great staff and the best security around“
