“I've been going to Steve's occasionally for years, but since they went mom smoking the first of this year, I've been going more regularly. Love the vibe, love the tribe! Every bartender is attentive, efficient, and always friendly. **CASH ONLY, but they do have an ATM in house! Show them some love ❤️“

“We love dive bars, we are from WI. So this was our vibe. Bartender (Missy, I think) was so nice & attentive. Some locals gave us tips to go see: Pier Teaki on St. Pete Pier and Birch Wood Sky Bar (roof top). Missy suggested The Galley for food. SO good! We had the best day thanks to those ladies!“

“Tipped well even though I got the silent treatment.. No matter. Been here a few times and use to work at a nearby liquor store. Had a good couple of beers here would have been more... But what do you do when they say get out... Sucks working 3rd shift and having a day off.“

“It's an amazing place where the locals and vacationers interact in such a friendly way! Great drinks, great conversation and welcoming atmosphere.“

“the whole atmosphere is amazing!!!!!!And bar tender was on point as well...will become a regular here and highly recommend friends as well“

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

“Big shout out and thank you to the patron and the bar staff who kept my lost wallet safe this weekend! I owe someone drink(ssss)!!“

“This is a great beach bar. the inside is much larger than you'd suspect and is mostly all bar seating. They have a solid pool table, foosball, and slots. All of their bartenders are friendly, pour great drinks, and prices can not be bested. it is a local crowd and most know each other by name. The inside is kept clean, the hours are amazing, and if issues do arise the staff handles things swiftly. We highly recommend it :)“
