I ordered a beer that I didn't like and tried to exchange it for another and was told that "they don't do returns and that I could speak to the manager". I tracked him down and told him my story and he said "that I was a grown man and should know what I want". I asked about trying an unfamiliar beer and he said "no samples & that I could buy a flight". I have been going here for years and will never buy another beer ever, this is probably the worst customer service that I have ever been exposed to and recommend no else does either.

came here with several friends mid week. This place is located amongst the bar & restaurant scene of the local area. There was an outside area that had live music. There were lots of tables to sit at and room to stand. This place is a little tucked away, and really not seeable from the street. From what I can tell there's no private parking for this facility. But there are public parking spots along the streets and a parking garage nearby. This place had a good vibe. About the only thing I didn't like, was having my beer served in a plastic cup. personally, I think that's tacky. Located in the night scene area, prices were a little high. But this definitely looks like an area that is frequent by locals more than tourist. No objections to coming back here for drinks.

Cool atmosphere, great tap list. Our bartender was incredibly rude, almost as if we personally offended here (Wednesday afternoon). She mentioned it was “illegal to give us tap water” and charged us for water bottles, while I’m actually fairly certain it’s illegal to not have free water available at a bar. She would not allow my sister to taste a beer, mentioning “we are not a brewery we don’t do that.” You could get a sample of a beer you’ve never had anywhere that has taps. Just silly

The bartenders made my friends and I very uncomfortable. They seemed annoyed whenever we tried to order and treated us very poorly. The area was also poorly kept and smelled a little. Overall super disappointed and I regret spending any of my time here.

We recently met friends here at the bar for some tasty craft beer and wine. Our bartender was extremely knowledgeable about all the beers and was very attentive. Love this eclectic, casual and fun spot!

Excellent brews lots to pick from. The courtyard has live music. The bands are always changing and the music is always good.

A great little beer bar hidden away in the most bland bit of architecture in all of St.Pete. The location and frequent excellent live music more than makes up for it. And their beer selection is excellent.

The lady who looks like the witch is very unpleasant and rude avoid her at if you want to have a good time.

They've got some great local live music here, along with a good variety of local brews. We sampled a few IPAs and enjoyed some of our favorite performers, Damon Fowler, Josh Nelms, and TC Carr. It was full inside, but the courtyard has tables and chairs, with a speaker outdoors too. Well worth the drive over the pond!
