“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!“

“Amazing place. Excellent beer . Love the owner ! Bartenders were very cool !“

“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. .“

“Great dive bar! My partner and I go every year when we visit. It is a true dive bar. If you are kind to the staff they treat you well, if you aren’t you will be asked to leave. The drinks are strong and cheap. Cash is preferred. I highly recommend if you are looking for a low key place.“

“clean and beautiful bar. Blake was personable and very nice and made this my new favorite spot. the aperol spritz were on point.“

“Great drinks, great bartenders, great music! The people vaping pot inside isn't great when you get a face full.“

“My wife and I invited a friend to meet us for lunch at noon, looking forward to the AYCE crablegs advertised on the website. Tia was our server. Upon ordering, Tia said AYCE iis no longer on the menu, which was extremely disappointing as we each drove 1 hr+ for the deliciousness. Tia contacted the owner who approved the orders. They were excellent. Thank you Tia for going the extra mile. It was greatly appreciated !!!“

“Food was excellent Service was great.“

“My favorite bar in St Pete. Everything is perfect- the vibe, the bartenders, the beautiful and creative drinks, the house music, and lots of great places to sit. Unless it’s super late night on Friday or Saturday, you can easily hear each other talking. It’s the best atmosphere to come and vibe together. I absolutely love that they offer hemp cocktails and THC seltzers. Such a fun option when you don’t feel like drinking alcohol.“

“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.“

“Had an awesome experience with great service“

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

“We strolled by and decided to pop in and found a warm welcome at the bar with Jeff and Summer. We have been to the Birchwood but found the tavern more our speed. The drinks were terrific and we loved the ahi tuna wantons. Potato skins were pretty good as well. We enjoyed the the atmosphere and look forward to our next visit.“

“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!“

“This venue is absolutely stunning for private events. The sound and lighting system is on par with what you’d expect from a national touring production—crystal-clear audio, dynamic lighting, and a setup that transforms any event into something unforgettable. It’s an incredible space for weddings, corporate gatherings, and holiday parties alike. The bar program is also top-notch, offering thoughtful cocktails and excellent service. Highly recommend for anyone looking to host a memorable event in a truly impressive environment.“

“Some people will say it's a dive bar. Far from that. Everyone is there to unwind and enjoy a night out. Whether it's to play pool, throw some darts or sit and watch the games.

They do not serve food but they do not mind if you bring your own.

It is a smoking establishment, which as a smoker I do like that.

They do have karaoke on Thursday and Saturday nights. Also, there is a dart league on Sunday and Wednesday nights.“

“Thank you for your support and donation of chicken wings to our 11th Annual Showers of Love Community Baby Shower! Without Community Partners such as you we couldn't do what we do!“

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

“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!“

“Dixie Chicks meets once a month and picks a new restaurant around town to meet and experience our hometown vibe. We were a party of 8 and were greeted warmly. The service and food were exceptional. We will be back!“
