Great place except the bouncer doorman groped my 21 yr old cousin last night. I won’t be back until he’s fired.

Servers seem to favor the regulars when it comes to service. It was an ok place to visit. Been there only one time so I will check in next time I go.

I find it very interesting that there is a review from 1 week ago with another patron having had the exact same issue I did!

Please fire the young black guy that was working the door on Saturday night, 8/10 (we were there at about 9ish). He mumbled something at me and when I didn't understand him he accused me of being drunk and prohibited me from entering. He was super hostile. I suspect he's either racist or really hates women. He clearly enjoys starting confrontations which is a really dangerous personality trait in a nightclub bouncer. Seriously, please figure out who this was and fire him. The man I had a problem with was the same as the one in the photo posted by “Ashton Wilkins.”

It was reassuring to see that someone else had the same issue on the same night!

Went in super early and I think there was maybe two other people in here. Had a drink just to check the place out and it was good. Cool ambiance. Bartender was very friendly. Small place but cool.

Hi. I have a lot to say about this bar. So I am going to go ahead and say it. First time—fun night, before my wedding in 2016. I was staying at the Hampton downtown w family and getting married there and we met the whole lot there. I came here tonight to revisit that from a different perspective, but wow, couldn’t get in. Bouncer said I was intoxicated. I filed another complaint too with BBB. It seems to be a racial issue. I posted some photos of my experience with the new DTSP. From Florida local perspective—What a difference in downtown St Pete from 2016 to 2024. Here’s the trashy bouncer that told us he wasn’t letting girls in.

The atmosphere you want when going to a dive bar! Great beer selection, good prices and a full liquor bar. Best dive bar off central!
