6 Best Dive Bars near Saint Petersburg

“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! 🥂“

“Just wanted to give a big shout out to RipTides and amazing bartenders Maddy and Johnny! After being made to feel unwelcome and snubbed at another local bar, these guys went above and beyond treating us as regulars not tourists! Thank you! We will always recommend going here to anyone who asks for a place to go and we can’t wait to come back! Hopefully it will be warmer than last week 😂“

“My wife and I invited a friend to meet us for lunch at noon, looking forward to the AYCE crablegs advertised on the website. Tia was our server. Upon ordering, Tia said AYCE iis no longer on the menu, which was extremely disappointing as we each drove 1 hr+ for the deliciousness. Tia contacted the owner who approved the orders. They were excellent. Thank you Tia for going the extra mile. It was greatly appreciated !!!“
