“The Green Room is an absolute gem in St. Pete. Their whiskey and bourbon selection is outstanding—whether you’re a casual fan or a serious enthusiast, you’ll find something special. But the real surprise is the food. It completely exceeds expectations for a place known for its bar program.

If you like Reubens, order it. Seriously. It’s one of the best I’ve had—perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Between the top-tier spirits, incredible food, and laid-back atmosphere, The Green Room is a spot I’ll keep coming back to and recommending to friends.“

“Friendly folks. Great pool players“

“Lynda was awesome, great atmosphere, great drinks.“

“One of the best bars on beach drive with the most amazing staff who really cares about looking after you. I feel that they only hire in genuine people. Drinks can stack up quick but the food is surprisingly good. Huge list of champagnes if that's your thing, caviar too, a humidor filled with great cigars and plenty of outdoor & indoor seating.

The live music is generally great there except for the British guy who can disappoint quite a lot of the time.

Always a friendly crowd! Well worth a stop in!“

“I discovered this place by picking up uber passengers & decided to try it out. I’ve always loved a local neighborhood gem “Cheers” type bar. In the past month & a half I think I’ve visited 5 different times and I’ve enjoyed each & every time. I was warmly welcomed by Barb. She’s an excellent bartender and very great with people. I could tell she had skills right away! I also really love Morgan.. all the girls there are nice but I particularly go for Barb & Morgan. They’re the best! They remember my drink order, my name & always make you feel welcome. The music is also awesome.. a great mix of variety. I’ve definitely added this to one of my local faves! Cheers! 🥂“

“We love Pepe’s Cantina! All theee of us had Chicken Enchiladas with poblano sauce. House margs are on happy hour at lunch! Bartender/Mgr was so friendly! Chips and salsa were delivered as soon as we sat down…Will definitely return!“

“Amazing!! Best Mexican food around and loved the casita bowls!“

“Have loved this place for years….great reasonably priced food, quick friendly service and a great atmosphere! Go at least once a month.“

“Great pre or post game meal destination“

“Honestly not what I was expecting, but loved it nonetheless. We were waiting for a show to start and were looking for places to grab a bite a drinks prior. Looked on the map and found this little hidden gem. You walk in and order at the counter, grab a drink and pay. Definitely a locals place but I loved every minute of it. Live music was a plus. Cheese sticks were to die for“

“If you haven’t been to Sneaky’s yet, you’re seriously missing out on one of the hidden gems of the bar scene. I stopped in and it turned into one of those nights where everything just clicked. The atmosphere was laid-back but full of good vibes, the drinks were strong (and priced just right), and the bartenders were absolute rockstars—friendly, quick, and genuinely fun to talk to.

Pool was free tonight (yes, free!) and the tables were in great shape. Between shooting some darts and running the pool table with friends, the night couldn’t have been better. Even though it wasn’t packed wall-to-wall, that just made it feel like our own private hangout. Honestly, it was perfect—like the best kept secret in town where you can chill, laugh, and actually enjoy yourself without the chaos.

This is the kind of place that feels like home the minute you walk in, with bartenders that treat you like family and an atmosphere that makes you forget about everything else. Sneaky’s isn’t just a bar—it’s the bar.

Do yourself a favor: grab some friends, stop by, and experience it. You’ll leave wondering why you ever went anywhere else.“

“Craft cocktail Diva Paloma and the Seafood Chimichanga were fantastic !! The service was excellent!!!“

“A legendary St. Petersburg gem. Paisano’s perfectly preserves the nostalgic family pizzeria restaurant. Their garlic butter crust pizza has a flavor I haven’t found in any other pizza I’ve had anywhere else🤌 There’s a reason they’ve stayed open for decades. We had a really fun time here. May is an awesome server!“

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One Night Stand – St. Petersburg, FL

This place isn’t just a bar … it’s a true part of the community. Today for Thanksgiving, they cooked a massive meal, big enough to feed everyone who needed it. Homeless folks, local bartenders, anyone who didn’t have a place to go… they welcomed them in without asking for a single dollar.

That kind of generosity is rare, and it says everything about the owners and staff. They always create a fun, welcoming vibe on a normal day, but what they did today shows their heart is just as big as their crowd. Great drinks, great people, and a place that actually cares about the city they’re in.

If you’re ever in St. Pete, do yourself a favor and check out One Night Stand. Places like this deserve all the love and support.“

“Good food!! Good drinks !“
