“The best local dive bar in town ❤️“

“I knew this was a great place when “Walk Away” by the James Gang was playing. Wife and I enjoyed a fantastic marg and tasty rum/coke during our visit while at Fort Desoto Campground. Friendly atmosphere.“

“It's been voted best dive bar for a reason. Go in sober, leave with a solid buzz smelling like an ashtray. Been going here for 28 years, won't stop coming. If you don't live here, maybe don't come here. Us locals need a place to avoid the tourists and snowbirds.“

“The restaurant is really something special and not just a restaurant that you visit every day.
The prices are in the normal to slightly higher range.
The ambience is to die for, cozy, warm, chic and inviting.
The food tastes excellent. The meatloaf is to die for.
The noodles are wonderful!
The staff waiters are very attentive and kind.
The selection is small but the food is fresh and of high quality!“

“Great food and drinks, cheap prices. Definitely a Florida favorite 🤩“

“We absolutely love the charm and aesthetic of this venue! My husband and I would frequent the drag and burlesque shows they’d put on. They would be next level shows you can’t find anywhere else! The place would be packed and the energy would make you feel like the you slipped back in time. We desperately miss making these events our monthly treat out for ourselves!! Like RuPaul once said “Bring back my girls!”.“

“Rachel the server was fantastic. So personable 👍“

“Bar Mastiff has been my go-to spot for years, I started going there about 15 years ago when it was still called Marsha’s and it remains my favorite bar ever. The lively atmosphere, great drinks, and friendly staff always make for an enjoyable time. However, during my recent visit, I encountered an issue with inclusivity that left me disappointed. Despite this, I still believe Bar Mastiff is a good place overall, and I encourage people to visit. It's my hope that they can become more inclusive of people with alternative lifestyles, as this would truly make it a perfect spot. The food at Bar Mastiff is nothing short of gourmet A1 perfection! Every dish that comes out of Steve's kitchen is like a masterpiece on a plate, elevating the dining experience to heavenly levels. Steve is truly a culinary god, crafting dishes with such finesse and flavor that it's hard to find anywhere else. If you're a foodie looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Bar Mastiff is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“Love pier Teaki the vibe a blast. Sam was great and made sure we were seated comfortably, she wiped the table clean upon arrival and gave us her personal opinion when it came to ordering which made it easier to order quickly. She was awesome! Would definitely come back!“

“The neighbor hood gem is totally an understatement. See for yourself. You will not be disappointed! Sign up for rewards with your phone no. Before you know it your getting complimentary 🍸 drinks. .“

“Beautiful and clean hotel, nicest staff ever! They are not just dog friendly, they are dog lovers!!!“

“went to the tropical room for an event and it was a blast! wait staff was awesome! highly recommend.“

“Recently spent the evening of my Birthday here and what a great time it was. Staff is super friendly and on top of everything from drinks to security! Highly recommend and plan to be back in the near future.“

“Me and my partner own the Royal Tot tiki bar in Charlotte. The menu is a little Gin heavy for a Tiki bar. We tasted 9 drinks from the menu but there is a wide variety. Some we liked, some weren't our jam but all of them were mixed well. Good bartenders (Cuba and another bartender that knew what she was doing), heavy pours, great DJ, great vibe, cool spot. Wish the second level was open but we came in Sunday to Monday late night. Great spot, great crowd. Will definitely come again the next time we are here. We know what goes into it. Keep up the great work!“

“Been coming here for the last 3 years. Chill and cozy place if you want few cocktails or smoke few cigars. The bartenders that really keep us coming back to this location are, Monica and Nathalie. They are pretty amazing, friendly and very knowledgeable ?“

“Overall excellent experiences all around. Specifically, Trevor and Amber are incredible. Amber is always attentive and never makes a single customer wait for a drink whilst being engaging every moment. Trevor is certainly an entertainer, always available for witty banter or a casual conversation.Minus one star for the lack of pool chalk.“

“Love the Happy Hour specials! Live music and DJs too! Such a fun vibe!“

“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)!!“

“I loveeee the staff!! They’re always so warm welcoming and Ashley, Victoria, & Asia make the best drinkies.. well everyone here does actually! Such a pleasant and fun atmosphere, definitely my favorite bar in st pete. Also the security is very protective. Lex makes every feel safe!“

“I never use to leave a review but I was impressed by the coktail’s menu! I travel a lot and have never seen that. They started with 269 (as their direction) choices (and now reached more they told me) of very originals and audatious cocktails and shots. The choice, the visual, the taste, the sympathy of the bartender/barmaids, the decoration… really cool! Best cocktails in town. Very inspiring. And respect to the servers for working with this big menu. Curious people, COME HERE. And the price is lower than other bars 🤌😭
Thank you!“

“My favorite quick Mexican restaurant. The soups are delicious, I get them a few times a month. Potato poblano is my favorite. Soup and a side of guac gets me a delicious lunch for less than $10. The happy hour is a great deal too and the family loves it when I grab it on the way home.“

“Amazing bands and talent. But real talk......they need to check their servers. Confrontational, questionable and unprofessional. They will lose good customers if they allow sub-par people to work in their establishment.“
