Go to nightlife spot in St Petersburg. Great cocktails with a revolving menu. Prices are justified for the quality and taste of each of the cocktails we had, they can also make drinks off the menu (try the Pisco Sour)

As a bar, this was top notch. Great espresso martini and good service. Not a speakeasy as advertised. At night it is more of a young club crowd. Very busy and loud but enjoyed the drink.

Mandarin Hide is a small but incredibly cool bar with a unique and dark vibe that sets it apart from others. While the drinks may lean towards the pricey side, it's expected for a bar of this caliber, and they definitely deliver on quality. I highly recommend trying their espresso martini--it's crafted to perfection. Plus, if it happens to be your birthday, they go the extra mile by treating you to a complimentary bottle of champagne, which adds a special touch to the celebration. One of the highlights of Mandarin Hide is the iconic bathtub where guests often take pictures--it's a fun and memorable part of the experience. Additionally, they have a small outdoor patio at the back where you can enjoy the ambiance or catch a DJ and bartender in action on certain nights. The wait staff at Mandarin Hide is not only quick but also educational, providing insights into their specialty drinks and making your visit more enjoyable. Overall, Mandarin Hide offers a nice and different vibe compared to other bars nearby. If you're looking for a unique and upscale bar experience with specialty drinks and a cool atmosphere, Mandarin Hide is the place to be.

This is has been on my list of St Pete Gems since I moved here 7 years ago! This a good place to come if you want a delicious craft cocktail. The inside is a dark vintage style that’s very cozy. I love to come here around Christmas time. Over the last few years it has become a lot more busy during evening hours and it can take a few minutes to get a drink because the bartenders are all make craft cocktails. Additionally, they aren’t cheap drinks but I think they’re worth the price. Also check out their happy hour if you want great drinks for $6/$7.

I talked to the guy T for briefly by the patio door last night. Cool dude. Made me and my wife feel safe. He gave us suggestions on other spots in the area. Including the taco stand on 2nd. The main reason I’ll be back is because even dealing the most intoxicated females I’ve seen in a long time, he kept his composure all the way. Despite all the verbal abuse he was receiving from the one girl.

I have recommended Mandarin Hyde to many of my friends who are coming in from out of town, but will no longer be doing so due to their outrageously expensive cocktails and the treatment that the staff gave my friend this weekend. As a UNation city partner I will be sure to share my horrible experience with everyone.My recent visit to Mandarin Hyde in Saint Pete left me utterly disappointed and frustrated. What was meant to be a fun evening turned sour due to the appalling treatment we received from the staff. Despite spending a significant amount on drinks, including $57 on three espresso martinis, our experience quickly took a turn for the worse.Firstly, the lack of available restroom facilities was inconvenient, with only one stall for women. After patiently waiting in a very long line, my friends and I entered the stall together, unaware of any posted signage indicating otherwise. We were rudely interrupted by a member of the bar staff who aggressively confiscated one of our drinks, a $19 cocktail no less, without providing any prior warning or explanation.Although a manager later allowed the drink to be remade, the situation escalated unnecessarily when the same staff member ordered us to leave the premises. Despite behaving appropriately and receiving confirmation from the manager that our actions were acceptable, we were forcibly ejected from the bar. This humiliating experience, witnessed by numerous patrons, was entirely unwarranted and unprofessional.What truly appalled me was the bouncer's blatant disregard for customer dignity. Not only did he embarrass my friend by forcibly removing her from the bar, but he also grabbed her in an inappropriate manner. None of us were even able to finish our outrageously expensive cocktails before being forcibly removed.There were numerous opportunities for the staff to de-escalate the situation and address our concerns with professionalism, yet they chose the most confrontational approach.The bouncer's actions not only tarnished our evening but also damaged the reputation of Mandarin Hyde. It's alarming that such behavior is tolerated by the establishment. As a result of this incident, I no longer feel comfortable recommending this bar to others and will be taking my patronage elsewhere. There are plenty of other establishments where I can enjoy espresso martinis without fear of unjust treatment. Save yourself the hassle and avoid Mandarin Hyde, where customer respect seems to be an afterthought.
