The 22 best bars and drinks in Treasure Island

First time visiting staying in treasure island, so it's the first time visiting this restaurant. service was fast, the food was good and the entertainment was great. we were celebrating our anniversary during this vacation, so it was cool just to hang out. the place gets very crowded and busy, so if you want a table outside by the beach, make a reservation. we were able to eat on the deck behind the singer and guitarist, not much of a view.

Stopped in at Sloppy Joe’s on the Beach and overall had a really good experience. We started with chips and queso — flavor was nice but the queso wasn’t quite hot enough, so it came out a little thick. Chips were decent, though not as fresh as I’d hoped. The fries were excellent — thick cut, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Seasoning was okay but could’ve used just a touch more. The burger was the highlight for me. Great flavor, super fresh toppings, and a solid bun. If the patty was just a bit thicker and the bun had more of a toast, it would be next-level. Drinks weren’t my favorite (the fountain mix seemed a little off), but my friend thought they were fine. Dessert was hands down the star — the key lime pie is impeccable. Creamy, perfectly tart, and the best way to end the meal. If you go, I recommend sitting inside. The birds outside are pretty relentless, and the service seemed more attentive indoors too. Overall, Sloppy Joe’s is a great beach spot with tasty food — especially the burger, fries, and key lime pie. A few small tweaks and it could easily be a five-star experience.

The only good thing is the view by the beach when you sit outside. First of all I got here and the gave me a breakfast menu. Then when I went to order it they said they didn’t have breakfast and gave me a regular menu. Service by Mallory was so slow. I guess she’s on island time. Then when they brought the wrap and pulled pork. Pulled pork was so greasy, half of it bbq but nothing on other side. The wrap was empty. The lady took so long with everything It was ridiculous then 2 drinks and those 2 entries 70$ lol terrible service forsure won’t be back

Staying at the Bilmar so obviously had to go to Sloppy joes! I ate here about 2 or 3 years ago on a girls trip and just stayed the week here again, I will say the peel and eat shrimp was much better the first time.. this time it was over seasoned and too salty for me. The lobster Mac n cheese was divine though, my partner had the surf and turf burger and honestly was mid. Ill stick to the grouper sandwich next time. Breakfast was good too, French toast was cooked perfectly but the eggs benedict were pretty bland, was not a fan of the old bay seasoning on top. Good spot for convenience and a quick bite.

I had only the clam chowder and a salad. The chowder was delicious. Looks like they have good beer and cocktails but I wasn't imbibing. The deck opens out onto the beach and can be accessed from the paved Treasure Island Beach Trail. Great place to see the sunset.

I hadn’t realized there was more than one Sloppy Joes location, but this one in Treasure Island that pays homage to the original Key West dive is lots of fun. It’s also right along the beach so it’s an easy place to walk up and order a drink, or sit down and eat and escape the heat for a bit. That being said, most beachside restaurants are absolute tourist traps that you pay for convenience rather than quality, and unfortunately this Sloppy Joes is just another in the scheme. The food was alright, but it wasn’t anything special. The drinks are decent and they have some good happy hour deals. Our service was slow and our waiter definitely kept forgetting things so it was a very so-so experience.

Beautiful little place sitting right on the beach! We had a great dinner. Grouper sandwich was delicious along with the fish and chips. Waite staff was fantastic, especially Mallory! This was our first visit to sloppy Joe's but by far will not be our last! The live music was an added treat, shopping with a beautiful sunset...

I’ve been going here for years and just went today since they have reopened. The building itself is still under construction since they got hit by the hurricanes last season but the new setup still offers limited food and drinks! We had an amazing time and the staff was wonderful as always. Taco Tuesday is new for them and they definitely slapped!!! So happy they are back and open.

Went to Caddy’s on the beach, they have a limited menu. We sat on the beach chairs that are “free” but you have to leave a tip cause the guy won’t walk away without something. We waited a while before our server finally came the service was average the prices for the drinks were pretty steep especially for the amount of alcohol in the drink. We weren’t given a menu she kinda just told us what was available. I had the smash burger and fries and my partner had the mahi tacos and pasta salad. The burger was okay the fries were eh tasted like every other beach fry. The pasta salad was good it was a very very small portion inside the container a little deceiving. Will we come back? Maybe. We both gave them a 7/10 overall the vibes were okay.

We visit this place multiple times every year when we are visiting family in the area. Can't wait until next year when the main building is hopefully back open. So glad they still had a food truck and plenty of covered area. Small menu for now, which is understandable, but bring back the Grouper Nuggets!

Awesome spot! Sucks that some random people can post up in front of you in ocean front chairs tipped for. Pictures before the disrespectful couple set up and set up in front of us. Look for the blue umbrellas and chairs in Redington.

Tables with your toes in the sand. It was hit hard by the hurricane 🌀 but coming back. Caddy's will always be one of my favorite places ❤️

Cheers to Marcus in security… Apparently, as I was unpacking my car to go to the beach. I dropped my wallet in the parking lot…. Marcus went out of his way to find me on Facebook. Find my phone number and my profile and sent me a message through messenger letting me know that he had my wallet. Kudos to Marcus. We’re going out of the way… This is what customer service is all about and this is why I recommend everybody going to Caddy‘s. It’s not only great for your family… You can feel safe!

The place was awesome. Great parking next to the beach. Don’t need to walk too far just to get your feet wet.

I have been here about a dozen times over the past 3 years and can honestly say it is one of my favorite places to eat. Not only is the staff super knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions, but the food is out of this world. Every dish I have ever ordered there has been delicious! Our server Jennifer was exceptional!!!! I suggest the crab stuffed salmon and the crab cakes for sure! (No pucs of that because we ate it too fast lol!) Oh wait, and the blueberry lemon martini.

This place was has a very cool vibe, the bartenders are very friendly and attentive, and the food and beers were delicious! This was our first time coming here (we went back one more time during our vacation) and we can’t wait to go back! The fish n chips are our favorite, and all of their beers that they brew are great.

Location on Treasure Island- Stopped in for a bite on Tuesday at 5p. August 5th, 2025. Not too many people there, making the food show up nice and fast. The food was good and typical of a bar and grill location. I didn’t get a chance to snap pics of the menu. But it was different from what I saw online, the server said that the menu had changed a bunch (less options were available) and a lot of the pics I was looking at were old (I was looking for a pic of the steak Sammy before I ordered it). The place has parking in case you need it. I ordered the steak and cheese modified, the pretzel, my daughter ordered the chicken finger app and a side of fries. That plus 2 bar drinks came to $75 before the tip.

Oceanfront Brews & Bites This coastal brewing company hits all the right notes—fresh ocean breeze, a huge selection of craft beers, and insanely good finger food. From crispy bang shrimp to delicious chicken tenders, every bite pairs perfectly with their rotating taps. Chill vibes, great views, and plenty to sip and snack on. A must for beer lovers by the sea! 🍺🌊

Amelia was our server and I can’t say enough good about her. She was kind and efficient. Food was good blackened grouper sandwich was excellent, spice about was just right. Berry salad (shown below) was extremely good. The lemon blueberry martinis were phenomenal.

We were visiting from out of state and were drawn in by the Pyrenees mascot! The food was delicious and staff were incredibly kind! I’m not a big beer gal, but my dad ordered a slight and was very happy with his choices! The family was a big fan of the peanut butter skillet cookie, we left with full stomachs and t-shirts!

Great spot to have some drinks, watch a game, or enjoy some great food! They have several bars, tons of tables upstairs and down, and lots of TVs. Right across from the beach with a great view of the marina, this is a fun place for locals and vacationers alike.

The atmosphere is lively and the food and drinks are good! I went during lunch time around 3:00 and it was not too busy and only one side was open. It’s really a bar that raps around. There’s inside and outside bar seating and some regular tables outside and inside as well. They have a live band daily at 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm. It’s a great place for food and drinks when on Treasure Island. Locals love it because it’s not too touristy.

Ricky T’s Bar & Grille has a lively atmosphere, with live music outside that adds energy but also quite a bit of noise, which can make it difficult to have a conversation if you’re looking for something more relaxed. The live band is a great attraction for those who enjoy that style of nightlife. The menu includes options for kids, although it’s not the most suitable if you’re traveling with picky eaters or children sensitive to spicy food, as many dishes contain spicy ingredients. The service is good and fast, ideal for those who want to eat and enjoy the atmosphere without long waits. In summary, it’s a good option for adults or families with kids who can handle both spice and noise, especially if you want to enjoy live music while dining.

Took my mom and wife here the other night (Wednesday). Sat outside. Really had a great time what with the music and the food, and the service. They’ve done a great job putting the place back together after Helene. It’s really nice to see. Honestly, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the Buffalo Chicken pizza, the mussels, and the pork nachos. Much better than expected. We eat out a lot, as locals, and many places it’s just a lot of the same, basic food. Not here. My only complaint would be that the drink menu doesn't have prices on it. I hate having to ask what things cost. It makes me feel cheap and judged. But I like to know. So it’s awkward. Please change that. Otherwise, we will be back!

Vivacious restaurant and bar. The food was exceptional. You wouldn't think this type of culinary creations would come out of the small kitchen. As normal, that is where the delicious food comes from.

Place on Treasure Island beach. Nice place for a bar and grill. The food was much better than I expected with lots of options. The front had a bar great for watching the game and then there is another bar in the middle. I can't comment on drinks as I just had a beer but the service was fast and friendly. They also had a back area outside that had live music so really a hip place to be and the food was not all fried food you might expect. I would go back again

Local bar and grill. Located next to multiple bars and restaurants. Walking distance from Walgreens. Staff is nice. No draft beers. Indoor and outdoor seating

The pizza? A complete letdown, like a bad joke that falls flat. And that Mojo Cuban? Calling it a disaster is an insult to actual disasters—it was more like beaver droppings on stale bread, devoid of any semblance of dressing. Seriously, no lettuce, no tomato? That's not a Cuban sandwich; that's a culinary crime. The cheese on the pizza felt like it was made from recycled plastic—where's the flavor? I half-expected to feel queasy after that meal. The staff were friendly enough, but let's be real: nice people can’t save a kitchen from itself. Absolute disgrace.

What a great find! Very busy Friday night around 8- but such a fun vibe out back, the 30 minute wait didn’t matter. Sipping on a well poured margarita, listening to the live music next door and making friends with other fun people while waiting was a blast. We sat inside to eat. The food came fairly quickly and the wait staff was terrific! We had tacos and rice and beans and one of their bowls- all delicious. The prices were very reasonable. This will be a regular place to go for margaritas and Mexican food!!!

I've been coming here for years and I haven't been since they reopened after the hurricanes last year. We were sat immediately which was great, usually the place is on a wait but we got there early. I like the board in the bar showing what the drink specials were for each day. Ordered the chips and salsa to munch on while we decided on lunch. The seared ahi tuna burrito was really good and so was the Cajun shrimp taco. My shrimp tacos kinda missed the mark. The shrimp were bland and it was loaded with cilantro and hardly no sauce. I also asked for no onions and it came loaded with onions. I asked for extra rancho sauce and the habanara sauce to give it some flavor. Im hoping this was just an off day for this dish as I have ordered it a few times before and it's always been very tasty. I'll definitely come back and try something I haven't tried next time.

VIP Mexican American Cuisine T.I. is a must visit if you are in the area. There is more than enough parking available within walking distance. The waist staff is attentive, courteous and responsive which adds to the dining experience. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating options. The menu has a great mix of entrees and the beach vibe tropical atmosphere also compliments the dining experience. I would have to suggest the fish tacos 🌮 if you're looking for an entrée.

If you’re looking for a standout dining experience, VIP Mexican American Cuisine T.I. is a must-visit. This spot combines a warm atmosphere with incredible food, and their nachos are nothing short of legendary. These aren’t your average nachos; each chip is perfectly crisp, topped with rich, melted cheese, fresh guacamole, zesty salsa, and a kick of jalapeños. The highlight is the house-made carne asada, which is so tender it practically melts in your mouth. It’s safe to say these nachos are to die for! Our server, Danni, truly made our experience unforgettable. Her friendly demeanor and expert recommendations made us feel right at home. Overall, VIP Mexican American Cuisine T.I. is a culinary gem where delicious flavors and exceptional service come together. Don’t miss out on those nachos!

A “VIP” restaurant sounds pretty intriguing, but I’m disappointed to report it fell into the “just another American Mexican” restaurant category. It’s also a pretty odd setup if you park in the front and enter, or park out back and end up sitting inside. You have to literally walk through the kitchen to get from the indoor seating & bar to the patio and outdoor bar. If it feels wrong you’re going the right way. This place has all the classic offerings a Mexican place does- nachos, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, rellenos, chips & salsa or queso. Margaritas, of course, and they did have decent happy hour specials. Our service wasn’t great, it felt like our waitress kind of kept forgetting about us. The food was okay, nothing too special but checked the list for dinner. The best part was the queso- that was cheesy and creamy and yummy. But honestly probably wouldn’t come back with all the other dining options nearby.

Food was great! Service was great too! We will go back again. My husbands quesadilla was great and so was my steak taco and tostada. They didn't skimp on the meat either. Our order was $24 and no drinks since we had water (tip not included). I'm sure the steak taco made it higher in price. Their food was much better than the Mexican place next to John's Pass in Madeira Beach. Lluckily we didn't have to pay parking. Parking is the only downfall in our opinion.

Ive lived here my whole life, this is the best Mexican restaurant around. Definitely worth it, they have a fun bar atmosphere if thats your thing & restaurant or to go. I love their burrito bowls with their highly recommend green salsa.

I read good reviews about this place and it was right around the corner from our hotel for my birthday weekend. Great prices, good drinks, and great entertainment. Mike Calzone even serrenaded me for my birthday. Such a great atmosphere on a rainy evening, but we loved it, and we will definitely come back soon.

Won’t go for lunch ever again. Ordered nachos. They were stale. We were asked if we wanted them warmed up??? Asked if warming would soften up chips. tended didn’t answer. Ordered wings. They were raw. Was told by bar tender that was the way he liked them. Offered to cook them more. Was then told they worry about drying them out. They were perfect when we got them back. Was asked if we wanted box for nachos, which we put to side and didn’t eat. Asked bar tender if he thought we would eat them later if we didn’t eat there because stale. When we got bill the nachos were still on bill. Needless to say we took price out of tip. Not the best experience!

We were in Treasure Island all week and R Bar was, without a doubt, the highlight of our dining experiences. We ordered takeout online—jerk, honey garlic, and medium chicken wings, along with grouper nuggets and fries. We arrived a bit early to pick up our order, and the bartender (wish I'd caught her name!) was absolutely fantastic. She was so welcoming, offered us drinks, and even made sure our takeout was perfect, adding sauces we hadn't even thought of. ​The food itself was amazing. The wings were cooked perfectly and the sauces were spot on. The fries were still crispy and the grouper nuggets were great. After a week of disappointing meals elsewhere, this place was a breath of fresh air. We had a great time just hanging out while we waited, and it looked like a really fun spot to eat in as well. This place gets 10 stars all around!

We was on vacation at the bay resort and ordered out,looking for some comfort food. We end up ordering the white fish, grouper and with the basket of fries plus onion rings and I tell you the food was amazing! Priced was really good compared to the other places for the amount of food you get. I highly recommend to try!

This has been our go to place when visiting treasure island for years. Went for dinner and very disappointed to say the least. Only 1 waitress and place was packed. Food was slow to come out. Lettuce in salad was warm and gross. Food was over cooked and lukewarm. Never recvd one of our sides but poor waitress had her hands full. Looks like we will be finding a new go to place. Sad!

A chill place with very nice food including popular local specials such as smoked fish spread, various grouper dishes etc. everything nicely cooked and served.

Awesome 'Cheers' atmosphere place...good food, cold drinks, great service, amazing prices!!!

We popped in for dinner after spending time on a nearby beach. First time visiting here, they were fairly busy. Our server mentioned it was the busiest since hurricanes Helene & Milton. The burgers were well prepared & very tasty. We will return again for a daytime visit soon!

Fantastic!! We had lunch here shortly after checking in, and breakfast the following morning. Both visits were top notch. We loved the fish dip here. But the service was what really stood out. Bill, Dee, and Alexis went above and beyond to make our visits special...they were truly stand outs from our trip to the area!! Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Gabe was great and the food was awesome. If you haven’t been here I highly recommend giving it a try. I had the bacon cheese fries, a smash burger and the truffle mac and cheese. The food went so quick I only grabbed a photo of the mac and cheese!

Came around 8pm on a Monday, no wait for a table. Nice casual place for a great bite, my partner and I both had an espresso martini one with Bailey, one without both were fantastic. I ordered the "attitude" and P got the "nooner". Great burger patties and tons of flavor, would 10/10 definitely recommend. Service was a bit lax and distant, got sat at a booth for 4 people with just 2 people and our server did not remove the other table setting the whole time we ate. Not a huge deal.

We had a wonderful experience at BRGR. We sat outside right at sunset and it was beautiful! The ambiance is so beautiful out there at that hour. We had Brenden as our server and he was very professional, polite, and kind! Loved that he interacted and played some with my baby. We will definitely be back!! I did have an odd / scary experience leaving the hotel though, the elevator door closed right on me! I’ve never had that happen before but I did call the hotel today to let them know what happened so they can get it fixed. Only putting it here now so others can be safe until it is fixed! Be careful!

stopped here our first day and nothing compared the entire trip had the black and blue burger which was phenomenal. and the american burger and again PHENOMENAL. wish we were local so we could eat here every week YUM

Such a great experience dining here! Nooner burger was extraordinary and the impossible burger was the BEST veggie burger I've ever had! Even the chicken Caesar salad got rave reviews!!! You gotta try it!

No food which kind of sucks. Drinks are really expensive BUT it has a great atmosphere, right on white sand, some beach games and the bartenders…friendly, on it and easy on the eyes. 4 starts solely for price of drinks - can easily find cheaper drinks in St Pete on the beach elsewhere. Video of bartender was taken with her permission as she performed this upside down shot service.

We found this beauty on a Google search so drove the one and a half hours to get to it. We had no idea we couldn’t park there so parked up the road. Upon arriving, we couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome by Cara. She is the daughter of the owner and they built the bar many years ago. It’s the coolest bar. Full of character and water running through the counter! You can play games or sit outside on the most BEAUTIFUL beach in the world and watch the dolphins in the water, followed by a breath taking sunset. They have another bar next to it which is an outside beach bar. We had a day on the beach and loved it so much, we booked 3 local suites and stayed the night. We were back at the bar today and the staff were equally as attentive. The bar doesn’t serve food but they are happy for you to order in and eat there. Thank you so much for making a travelling family from the UK feel so welcome. P.S - Picture attached of Cara’s party trick! Haha.

This place gives your liver a workout! Great vibe. Watching the sunset is spectacular.

Extremely Disrespectful Bartender Experience – 9/4/25 Night Shift We visited this bar on the night of September 4th, 2025, to celebrate my friend’s birthday with a group of about 10 people. We spent well over $1,800 throughout the night, tipping 20% or more on every single tab. We came to have fun, spend money, and support the bar — but one bartender completely disrespected us and ruined the experience. At one point, we asked the female bartender working that night to slap my friend and hang from the bar pole — just something fun for his birthday. She did say there would be a charge, but never told us how much until after she did it. Then suddenly, we’re hit with a $100 charge, which is absolutely excessive and ridiculous for something like that. To make matters worse, she entered that $100 as a tip on the receipt — not as a service or fee — but a gratuity, which is misleading. Naturally, when we saw a $100 tip already added, we didn’t leave anything extra. And because of that, she complained — and then refused to serve us for the rest of the night, accusing us of not tipping. That’s outrageous, considering we had already left generous 20%+ tips on every previous order. We even asked her to pull the receipts, and they all clearly showed our tips. We know how this industry works, and we always tip properly. She flat-out decided we weren’t worth her time anymore, and when the other male bartender was busy getting beer or ice, she stood there doing nothing, completely ignoring us, even though she knew we were waiting. Her attitude was unacceptable — cold, entitled, and unprofessional. We couldn’t help but feel like we were being profiled, Why else would we be treated so differently after spending over $1,800 and tipping well all night? Thankfully, the male bartender working with her was the complete opposite — professional, kind, and attentive, even while juggling restocking duties. He did a great job and deserves recognition. If it weren’t for him, we probably would have walked out a lot sooner. And here’s the real issue: this kind of behavior is financially damaging to your business. We were a group ready to come back every Thursday — we loved the music, the vibe, the atmosphere. But you think we’re going to return with that type of employee behind the bar? No chance. One person like that can drive away loyal, high-spending customers and ruin your reputation. Unless that woman is the owner herself (which would explain the arrogant attitude and poor judgment), it’s hard to understand how she feels entitled to treat customers that way. And if she isn’t the owner, then whoever is should really think twice about the type of people they’re trusting to represent their brand — because she’s not only hurting your customers, she’s hurting your bottom line. She is costing the business money, profits, or future income

Giving y’all a 4 because I love coming there but my friends and I don’t come often because there’s no parking anywhere. Not everyone can afford to always uber and some people like driving. Please allow more public parking near by I promise it would bring in more customers! Beautiful bar and beach though. :)

Undertow is a hidden gem. We came here to enjoy some drinks while watching the sunset. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We got freshly made pina coladas, they were so good. The bar was fairly busy, but had plenty of room for us to sit and enjoy the beautiful views. They have a lot of fun games you can play too. The prices can’t be beat! The bathrooms were nice and clean too. We will definitely be back. @living.with.reg

Location is the first thing to love about the Undertow Beach Bar. Two separate bars to choose from serving up great cocktails. Very limited food menu...like snacks. Plenty of T.V's to catch all the games on. Rubber ducks float on a stream of running water carved into the bar. This is something everyone remembers. Cheers 🍹🍸🍷🍺

Great food! Great drinks! Absolutely affordable, good tunes and some friends locals. Our Bartender was ON IT with everything! Absolutely will be coming back. Buffalo chicken sandwich, steak cute onion rings and Fish sandwich! Some frozen drinks and great shock top

Beautiful place, chairs were extremely uncomfortable. No service, you have to go up to the bar and only one waitress serving everyone. Music was great, beautiful sunset and good food. I really enjoyed Steven's music, he never even took a break and sang lots of great songs. He was covering for another band that was supposed to be there and at first I was disappointed but he kept us there. Would have stayed longer if seats were better.

7.20.2025 - I had been bringing my serivce animal for 2 weeks before this Sunday. As I'm walking to meet the regular group like usual. The bartender stopped and said they don't allow dogs. I explained he is a service animal. She said it doesn't matter we serve food, he can't be in here. My military friends came to my defense trying to explain to her that is allowed regardless. She threw her hands up and walked away. We had usual amount of bloody Mary's and were living to go to the American Legion. As I was leaving another guy that worked there stopped me and asked if the bartender said anything about my dog. I said yes she did make comments about my SERVICE ANIMAL and she didn't understand that it should not been an issue especially since he was quiet and not making a scene any of the times he was there. He said yes but since we serve food it really isn't allowed. So, I gave the whole speel again, and even he didn't get it. That day was the last time I went to Katiki. I will not go somewhere that does not understand the necessity of having a service animal or the CORRECT rules and difference of a SERVICE ANIMAL and an EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL and don't understand the law or respect Veterans, the only reason you have opportunity to complain. Y'all don't deserve a 1 star after that treatment. I have added photos of my battle buddy, Troubadour and the military family that have made me feel at home since I have been in Florida as a testament to his character and the group that have helped this bar's morning group. By all of their individual contributions, by using their own money to assist in bring in toppings for the bloody Mary's and increasing business for this local location Ka'tiki is strong as ever by the local support which are mostly retired veterans. After all the hardships this place has been through in the past few years, you think they would be more up to speed on current laws and state regulations as regards to service animals verse emotional support animals. Service animals have the highest protection under the Disability Act I'm really thinking of suing them for .50cents + attorney fees just to allow other services members the ability to go there without prejudice. I personally will never go back without an apology. I miss being with my military family would love to forgive yet not forget and let go back to a 5 star review. The next steps is yours Ka'Tiki. Can you try to be for those of wanting to help continue to heal and move forward? I'm still here for 3 more weeks and would to be allowed to hangout with my extended family til I come back early next for another 9 months.

Just wanted to shout out our favorite local bar! Always a great time at Ka’Tiki whether you’re looking for great music or great dive bar atmosphere! The weekend bands have been FIRE lately! The BLT and burgers are always great. The drinks are affordable and well made! We’ve made great friends over the years here! We love all of our Ka’Tiki family and staff and are glad that one year after digging out from Helene you’re still here! The only thing I’d change is put bartender Chris back behind the bar on Friday and Saturday nights! We need his speed and efficiency on those packed nights with the great bands you’ve been getting!

Awesome place for live music almost everyday of the year. Laid back with a great vibe. Basically on the beach. Can see amazing sunsets from your bar stool.

$3 Cheeseburgers! Wow! Great atmosphere- good pours on alcohol, cold beers, beautiful views, live music, friendly bartenders- everything you want in a good beach bar! Had some good times here and plan to have more!

I experienced this laid-back spot on a Tuesday afternoon. The vibes were good, the ocean stunning & you just can't beat what turned out to be a pretty tasty $3 BURGER!! (offered for dine-in only) & the service was friendly too.

What can I say—this place is simply unbeatable! I've been coming here for years, both before and after the historic 100-year TI storm surge, and it never disappoints. The Cuban Sandwich here is hands down the best I've ever had. Even if you order the massive 12-inch with the intention of saving half for later, trust me—you’ll end up finishing the whole thing on the spot. It’s that good. Once you’ve eaten a Cuban here, no other place even comes close. Highly recommended for anyone in search of the real deal. Thanks for consistently serving up excellence!

A client and friend recommended The Floridian on Treasure Island for their Cuban sandwiches — and they weren’t kidding. This was only our second Cuban ever, and it easily set the bar. The sandwich was fantastic, the vibe was easygoing, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. They even let our dog, Stormy, hang out on the patio. Great food, great people, great spot. We’ll definitely be back before we leave St. Pete

This restaurant has always been great. They have the absolute best Cuban Sandwich. It's been my go to for 15 years for Cubans.....highly recommended

Always the best Cuban sandwich around. Beats out the Colombian by a mile! And the rice and beans (plus a little Cholula hot sauce) are also excellent. You can order here from postmates for pickup and there is no fee, but the prices are higher. I attached the latest menu for you to be able to compare and decide for yourself. I usually just phone in my order.

I honestly expected more out of the cubano sandwich. When I got it they forgot to put any pickles on it. They were super nice about it and put pickles on and reheated it in the press. It wasnt.bad just uninspiring as far as cuban sandwiches go.

We are on vacation and my boyfriend (an expert on the Cuban sandwich) says this is the real deal. We ordered the 12" along with a combo, which is a half sandwich and w/ beans & rice, or soup options. We also lucked out and stopped in during their 2 for 1 drafts from 3-6 daily. This is our 2nd visit in 2 days, the tuna combo and beef combo were also both very good. Give this place a try, you'll love it and want to come back for more!

Food is terrific, great Cuban sandwiches. Service was very enthusiastic, friendly and patient with a first time customer. Will definitely return when in the area. Only drawback is parking, very limited, even there is a lot of parking, very unfriendly businesses will tow you away!

No food available but good drinks and friendly bar tenders. Live music, guitar player, daily. Right on the beach. Great stop on our bikes.

Beachfront small bar. Outside a resort but available to the public. It sits right on the Treasure Island waterfront boardwalk, a must visit if you're in the area. Perfect for sunsets and almost always has live entertainment. I am a local and stop here daily on my bike rides.

This is THE place to be in Treasure Island. Refreshing tropical drinks, beer, great music, reasonable prices and a spectacular sunset. All of the bartenders are friendly. If you want food, you have to order it from the local pizza places and tell them to deliver to the Tiki bar at Thunderbird hotel, or feel free to stop at Publics supermarket and pick up a few things to eat.

What a great place to chill out by the beach and catch a sunset. Live music always a plus and the drinks were spot on and priced just right. Kudos to Vlad the Bartender for friendly and attentive service. Definitely going.back!

Went to visit my awesome bartender Amy and had a blast and met some cool people. And the one man band was great 👍 will go back..only issue was not enough shade area 🙄 😒

It's one of the best tiki bars I've been to, Cupcake is one of the best bartender

One of my favorite spots! Amazing bartenders. Vladimir is the best 😁

Nestled in a resort hotel, this beach bar is a hidden gem. The laid-back atmosphere instantly puts you at ease, perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. The sprawling deck offers breathtaking views of the beach, creating an ideal backdrop for sunset cocktails. What truly sets this place apart is the live music, adding a vibrant energy to the relaxed setting. The staff are attentive and friendly, ensuring prompt service without disturbing the casual vibe. The food menu, while not extensive, offers tasty options that complement the drinks perfectly. From fresh seafood to classic bar bites, the quality is consistently good. Whether you're a hotel guest or a local, this bar is a must-visit for its ambiance, views, and overall experience.

If you are looking for beach, drinks, live music and maybe a rando link…this is your spot! The food is not good, I would only eat here if you have to. I had fish tacos and they were like fried fried, no fish. But everyone was having a good time, people dance in their swimsuits to the live music.

Absolutely loved our time at Jimmy B’s Beach Bar in Saint Pete! The atmosphere is unbeatable, with a laid-back vibe that perfectly complements the beachfront location. Live entertainment keeps the energy up, making every visit a fun experience. The food is delicious, with a great variety to choose from. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or just some tasty snacks to go with your drinks, Jimmy B’s has you covered. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic time by the beach! *It did take us a 'minute' to find the place and parking. We had to park behind a 7-Eleven and walk across, which wasn't bad at all. Then you have to walk all the way through the hotel and go to the back in order to find it; just as a helpful hint for anyone that didn't know that ahead of time like we didn't. It appears you can also walk right off the beach up there, but we were coming from somewhere else.*

One of my favorite moments and places I visited in Tampa. The staff were truly kind and attentive to all needs. They managed the large crowds of customers with ease and provided excellent service and hospitality. The food and drinks were soooo good!! The options and were endless. I really loved how close the beach is to this restaurant. The restaurant has walkways built onto the beach. The sunset was gorgeous at this location and made the experience that much more pleasant.

So damn happy they reopened!! Holly, the best bartender there, took awesome care of us as we lazily enjoyed the day away. Waves, great music, great food and cold beer, you CANT go wrong!! I almost don’t wanna write this so more people don’t come!!

Live music, great views, and a ton of people around having just as much fun as you....lots of energy! The service is good and the food is decent. The experience is terrific. Not especially kid friendly unless they like loud music and drunk dancing.

I think what’s difficult about this place is parking! The area for the hotel is small and nearby is all tow away zones. We almost gave up! And then you walk through the hotel lobby to get to Jimmy’s, which feels weird but I guess it works. We aren’t locals so all of this felt confusing. Overall once you’re there and settled it’s ok, live music, and okay service.

We sat on the deck for lunch. Great view! This would be a great place to see the sunset. We got to see some boats go by. Food was pretty good and our server was attentive. Fred the bird was also interested in our dining experience. He made us all laugh!

We had a blast on Labor Day. We saw Full Throttle and they were great. I ordered the Caprese Salad with grilled pineapple. It was delicious! The bar gets really crowded but it is such a laid back atmosphere, you can dress completely casual, it’s right across the beach. They have an upper deck patio, full bar and you can eat at the bar and underneath is an indoor restaurant . Great bar!

Wanted a place near our condo with reasonable priced food and good atmosphere. This place did not disappoint. Live music was awesome. The food was excellent as well with good sized portions for good prices. We had the fried cauliflower with sweet chili sauce and it was great. The Asian lettuce wraps were also pretty good. I ordered the blackened mahi Baja tacos and they were delicious. Great sizes with lots of fish. Service was quick and accurate although we arrived at 5:30.

Exactly what I hoped this place would be when I researched going there. We had a fantastic server in Erin and the food we ordered: BBQ Chicken + Ribs (with fries and coleslaw) and Steak Marsala (with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetbles) was outstanding in taste and presentation. There is live music every night and a very laid-back beach-y vibe. I would go here often if I lived there.

The food was only mediocre, but at least our waiter got us hot fries as a replacement quickly. We liked the band even though it was too loud to speak when sitting in front which eventually made us leave. Beer was in cans with a plastic cup which means it got hot fast. Bathrooms were clean and, thankfully, air conditioned. Be careful when picking your seat so that the setting sun doesn't end up on you because you will definitely be uncomfortable.

First time visiting this establishment on a Sunday and they had a great band playing lots of atmosphere plenty of people everyone was having a grand old time. Our server was professional and courteous, the food was excellent and we may have ordered too much that I ended up having to bring it home with me. I’m a local Biker from South Tampa, and it was a nice break to get away from my own area to visit other parts of Florida. If you’re looking for an outdoor patio area that’s covered even if it rains you’re good to go, this place is someplace to visit definitely.

Great service and atmosphere both inside and out. The food is made from scratch and was really good. I sat at the bar and the service was great.

So my wife is out of town and I decided to try this place based on their great website, the pairing of their beers with food, etc. I did a flight of beers which were great and decided to try the Gator Po Boy which comes with tots. I should have had a burger. The Gator was very tough and kind of bland. I'm not sure how something breaded could be bland. The tots had some kind of sauce on them which may have been a mistake because my bill had an extra charge on it that said "substitute tots fondue". I think I would have preferred some great french fries instead. The bartender was a hoot! She was high energy and greeted everyone that came in the door very loudly! Overall I would recommend but stay away from the gator.

This is the second time I’ve visited the Mad Beach Craft Brewing establishment and it was excellent!!! We solely came for the burger they offered in the Madeira Beach Burger Week contest and it definitely was an amazing burger!!!! Our bartender/server was excellent and very friendly to talk to!! We added tater tots to our burgers which was a great addition!! Also, ordered the I Yam What I Yam (Spiced American Strong Ale) and it also had great flavor with a nice finish for a craft beer!! The artistic aspect of the bar is pretty cool to look at while visiting and they also have great lighting!! Hats off to the awesome job by the cooks for mouth watering food for a great value!!! Definitely recommend this place for their hospitality, wide selection of menu options and their reasonable pricing at a beach restaurant!!! Keep up the great work and looking forward to visiting again sooner than later!!!

Stopped in for dinner and so glad we did!!! The wing sauce is incredible and I don’t know what they season their tator tots with but they were the best I’ve ever had!! Honorable mention for the cheese and Chong burger, it was so tasty!! Our server, Shaun (sp?) took great care of us and kept us laughing. We will definitely be back!!!

Came here last week with my fiance. We came here once last year but I wanted to come back. I had a flight which I enjoyed most of the beers. I really enjoy the sweet potato ale with the cinnamon sugar rim. Bartender was friendly. We also got the pulled pork nachos. They were good but didn't look anything like the picture. They were lacking pork and probably only half covered in cheese. Definitely disappointing. We do enjoy the atmosphere at Mad Beach! . Will definitely be back on our next trip!

So we picked up dinner from Mad Beach Brewing and took it home and we weren’t disappointed, I’ve heard about their burgers for a looooong time and we ordered the double smash with cheddar, one word…UNBELIEVABLE!! Whoever their chef is knows what he is doing the burger was cooked to perfection. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had in Pinellas County, not overcooked, and crazy juicy and the brioche bun was the show stopper that pulled it all together. The deep fried pickles were super yummy and their tots?What can I say? I ate them all lol. If you want a SPECTACULAR Smashburger, try this place you won’t be disappointed.😊👍🏼 I gave the atmosphere a 3, from what I could see it was a great environment great vibe.

Mad Beach Brewing is an absolute gem! The food was amazing – every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded expectations. Their beverage selection is top-notch with something for everyone, from craft beers to other great options. The atmosphere is welcoming, family-friendly, and packed with fun games and entertainment that keep everyone happy. Whether you’re coming with friends, family, or just looking for a great spot to relax, this place has it all. Highly Recommend!!!

Absolutely outstanding hamburgers perfect toasted bums tomatoes and onions crisby tater tots fabulous!are server Tara spot on very sweet and great server friendly you must eat here if your any where near johns pass!

Morgan needs a raise! Coconut Charlie's is fantastic. My partner got the grilled chicken sandwich and even that was full of flavor and fresh bread, unlike others that are bland, this was so yummy! Service is wonderful and the bar faces the beach and it's beautiful. Live music even on a Sunday night was so romantic. What a great place.

We loved Cassie on our 1st two visits. Unfortunately we didn’t get the other bartenders names, as it was the weekends and they were busy, but still very attentive. Food was great especially the chicken club and pizza. Drinks were great as well, watch out for the Rum Runner, it sneaks up on you.

Melanie was great!!!! Fast friendly and very attentive! Great with recommendations as well. We will def be back thank u girl for making our luncheon a great one ❤️

We ate at the Grill side which is located at the front of the hotel. You validate parking at the hotel desk. The beach bar had live music and our dog doesn't like drums. My wife had the special - grouper, scallops, coconut rice and asparagus. I had the rigatoni primavera and my daughter had blackened chicken alfredo. We all split parmesan truffle fries. The portions were more than enough for us and we're not sure if we were all not hungry or if they were just generous, but we took home a lot of food. Everything was delicious, the only critique would be salty asparagus, but it blended into the rest of the food just fine. Our server was amazing, 0 flaws there.

This is a fun place to get a drink and have easy access to the beach. Plenty of outdoor seating and mostly shaded. Had the Mahi Mahi tacos and a Pina Colada and enjoyed both. Our server, Joanna, appeared very busy that day but she was very attentive and friendly. The only thing we didn't really like was how loud the DJ had the music playing. It made it hard to have conversations at our table of 4.

Fun place connected to the Hilton with beach access. Beautiful furnishings and amazing palm trees. Live entertainment most days on the patio. Food was good. Drinks refreshing.

U ONLY GET FREE PARKING IF YOU SPEND OVER $50!!! (Lol does not say that on the sign anywhere!) Waitress was horrible. We asked for water many times and she didn’t come until I had to ask again. When asking her to validate our parking pass (which was $60) after ordering two Miami vices she refused to because we needed to order “‘meals” I’ve never heard of that. We just wanted to walk the beach with our drinks. Horrible experience. Go to PCI or another beach nearby. It’s not like we came and sat down for a Pepsi. We ordered two alcoholic drinks. We thought it was beyond rude as were locals. Her name was Joanna. We then ordered salsa and chips to go so we can make sure we “spent enough” she came back and told us we aren’t allowed to do that and we need to at least spend $50. Which by the way we spent $44 including her tip. This behavior is ridiculous. We will never come back! Just know there’s a spending minimum here of at least $50 lol. To just park at the restaurant and enjoy a drink. Unbelievable. My friend has been here and said that was never a thing.

Only stopped in for a couple drinks. Good sized crowd but the bartenders handled them easy. Has the most beautiful palm trees in their parking lot.

Lana's place was just as we thought it would be. Off the beaten path, locals bar with plenty of cold, affordable drinks. We enjoyed talking with Tanya, she was a great bartender! Nice and low key, will go again!

Lived here 30 years ago and was always so comfortable here and lots of fun. Great local bar...

If your under 40 don’t go here treated me like trash and kicked me out because on are first round of shots I tipped her 5$ dollars when the total was 15$ second round got two more shots for 10 dollars and didn’t tip and she flipped out and kicked us out, let’s do the math 25$ total 5$ tip isn’t enough? And the audacity to kick us out she must hate her life or something.

Love this dive bar!! Visit every year

This place joke. My first time visiting Florida. Went in to get a couple drinks and were told we needed to tip at least $1 per drink. Waitress said she was the manager but was extremely rude!! Went 2 nights in row and both times felt out pocket. Please understand there was 3 bars next to them. We would have spent alot money. If they would have been alot friendlier.

Cute little dive bar tucked away in a little strip mall type spot. Cheap cheap cheap drinks and awesome friendly bar staff. Want a cold one on the beach without spending a fortune come here! Also have some chairs out front that are a nice option.

Sunset Cafe and Beach bar is open to the public! The Cafe is where we ate overlooking the courtyard. Wonderful breakfast. Fantastic group working there, so kind. Yummy scrumptious food ! Crunchy on outside waffle, French toast - great flavor. Drinks for breakfast ?! It's vacation ! The mimosa has just the right fiz . Bloody Mary?- perfect bite and filling . Great start to the morning

Small place, one table was being waited on when we sat down. We asked if we needed to be seated; it's seat yourself. We'd been waiting a few minutes to even have our drink order taken when another table sat down. It sounds like they were staying at the hotel this restaurant was in but wth no one in there, should that matter? Instead of even acknowledging us she went brought them drinks. Ok we can wait. Then she took their order... we still hadn't n been acknowledged. They're are six tables in the place. So we left. Wyh? We went to the Waffle House down the street (not our first choice but not a lot of places weren't open) but it's was great. Friendly fast service and the food was fresh and tasty.

Sunset cafe is back open and serving delicious food and drinks! Jonathan made a tasty bfast burrito and latte ☺️ nice spot to stop in and can sit outside too

Been coming to sunset vistas for 12 years now, consecutively. There is always a smiling friendly bartender here making small talk, and so friendly and kind. I cannot say enough good things about the ladies who work here. And it's very much appreciated

Lived in this area for my whole life and never knew this place existed! I brought my wife and son here today and all I can say is wow!!!!! The place is very cute and food is amazing!! A must try!!! Try the Cuban!!!

Enjoyed a tasty and relaxing breakfast with a delicious bloody mary and a mimosa. The breakfast cuban was great.

The location, service, atmosphere, prices, convenience, and proximity to the beach of this place are all tough to beat. The staff are all very accommodating, caring, and ripe for hilarious conversation. Brookelyn was the bartender on duty the times I visited, and even while juggling flaming chainsaws at peak hours, she still manages to make sure every single customer is having the exact experience they came here for. Never mind the fact that the drinks are among the best you'd hope to get in town. If anyone is in need of a piña colada, I can't recommend this place enough.

Fun spot right on the beach! They have live music most days and indoor/outdoor tables. Huge food menu and virtually any cocktail. We have the peel and eat shrimp and the loaded fries. I am not exaggerating when I say that the loaded fries were probably one of the top fries I've ever had! Highly recommend stopping in for a drink and an app.

Visited Bongos for lunch. Sam was terrific, giving good suggestions and providing great service. We ordered the Rum Runners, Nachos, and Cuban sandwich. This was the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Drinks were well made. Great beach views.

There is a small open parking lot just outside of the hotel. But you have to go into the parking garage for more parking. They have live entertainment, which was. Wry good. There are two bars. There is bathroom access from the parking lot just downstairs. It’s not air-conditioned, but I do have an attendant making sure that it is clean. They do have seating in the sand so you can feel the sand through your toes while you eat. Service was good. Acknowledge you pretty fast even though it was busy. The food’s presentation was good. I thought it was going to taste very seasoned, just perfect. I tasted the fish and thought okay it’s seasoned, this will be good. However when I ate it all together I was surprised at how bland it tasted. I don’t know how that happens. The side salad wasn’t really a salad. 🤷🏽‍♀️ It wasn’t bad I would go back. I went and took picts at the beach while I waited for my food.

Nice place right on the beach. Staff were all awesome and accommodating. The food was much better than I was expecting. For some reason I wasn’t thinking a beach bar would have good food like they do. The beer was very cold. The frozen tropical drinks were delicious but pricey. I would definitely return.

We got married at this hotel in 2004 (14 years ago) and had our rehersal dinner here all those years ago. My how this place has grown from a small outdoor bar with a few tables to an awesome multi bar venue with tables way out into the beach. Most expansions in transient areas feel like tourist traps, not this one. They did a great job. The scenery from just about any table is amazing with beach and water views everywhere. Food and service was great. Drinks weak, but tasty.

Wait staff was very attentive to needs and orders, very kind, polite, and friendly! Our appetizers were delicious and well proportioned for the price. The nachos are enough to feed four(4) people easily and very good. We never saw the bottom of our cup before another drink was delivered. I would definitely recommend and return!

Amazing sunset views. Loved the bar and umbrellas that cover you from the sun. Great place to get some good American food or drinks. Fun place for the family

Andrew & Holly were fantastic servers/bartenders. They made the experience top notch for our first time. Definitely ask for them when you visit!!! Great food, great atmosphere, great service. We got our beverages and food served quickly, and everything tasted delicious. We ordered the lobster roll with the penne pasta and tomato/cucumber salad. Highly recommend!!

We went here for dinner on the last day of our vacation. We chose the Pirates burger and the fish and chips. The burger was nothing special....too much bun in my opinion and didn't really have a lot of flavor, which was very disappointing, especially after reading other reviews. Now that Fish and Chips is a whole different story. Being from Illinois this is the kind of fish you find in bars on Fridays for their fish frys. This was delicious!! You get two pieces of cod and they are not small! Fries were good, coleslaw needs improvement. Our server was nice. Would definitely return if ever in this area again.

Food was fantastic, these were the best clams I’ve had in years of coming here. I ordered a second round because they were so good. Ian our server was also great. The bar has great food and nice drinks with a wonderful view of the water where the dolphins often swim pass. They also offer Naturls which is one of the only things my type 1 diabetic sister drinks so that was also really nice. Will definitely be back.

we had a lovely dinner we are out trying out our local business. the cod and chips and grouper where very tasty in deed and as english guy the cod and the chips (fries) came out very vell indeed well done we sat outside watching the people and the boats! give this place a try

Was a fun spot. We were headed to Caddy's but found they closed down. So we stopped here on a whim. Glad we did! The food was good and drinks were strong. Fun place and plan to return!

Absolutely loved the 2025 burger week burger!!!! Great service!!! A Must-have burger!!! It is the BEST burger of the burger week!!! Such unique taste with the elote! Delicious patty! Perfect cheese. The bun was great! The perfect amount of everything that went together perfectly! Mouth watering! Truly a culinary work of art!

Stopped in for drinks on a Friday night. Service was great! Drinks were very good. Nice outside area on the boardwalk had a cool vibe. The burgers coming out of the kitchen looked amazing! We had already eaten but will definitely be back to try em!

Dive bar vibe- had to stop in for the Bushwacker as it came very highly recommended. Nice pit stop from shopping the Corey street Sunday market.

Unfortunately this place did not survive the hurricane, although it looks exactly the same. If you enjoyed it before, my advice is don’t come back and keep your memories. If you want to be treated rudely while rubbing elbows with obnoxious snowbirds this horrible iteration of the once great swigwam is for you. If you are looking for a comfortable place to get friendly service and a beer, go anywhere else.

Love this bar beyond words. I wish I found this place first when I came to st pete! Good vibes, good characters to talk to and a great dive! Gonna miss this place when I head home! With love from Savannah Ga!

Best hometown feel bar in a tourist location ever! Staff is friendly, fast and professional. The whole vibe in this place is happy and relaxing. Dogs are welcome in the outside seating area and have I mentioned the drinks yet? Bloody Mary’s and mimosas are delicious and potent! My two favorite qualities in a drink. Definitely worth a stop. Go on Sunday and enjoy the Corey Avenue market as well!

Did not have any food, went for a couple of beers. Extremely cool atmosphere, and Ty was awesome. Loved every minute of my time here. Will be coming back next time I'm in st.pete..

We are here most Sundays for the past 6 years. One of the best bars in the area! Rob and Mary are amazing and always nail the perfect pour! 🍀💚

Swiggy’s is a favorite among local’s here! Stop in & have a cocktail with the veterans who frequent this establishment! Steve, Mary & Dan are excellent bartenders! See you there! 💗

Hidden gem! Stumbled across this place. No idea how I didn’t know it before. Great little tiki bar right on the beach. Full bar. Amazing people running it. Perfect spot for day drinking by the beach, and/or drinks at sunset.

Great place to grab a drink they have all kinds to choose from, and the staff is really nice and laid back. If you are staying at the inn, you can also use the pool. You don't have to be a guest of the inn to come up from the beach and get a drink. The bar is open to the public, !so just walk on up and grab a drink or 2

Food is fine for beach food. You come for the atmosphere. Watching the sunset there you get to hear the bell ring when the sun goes under the waves.

We are staying at the island inn and have stopped by the tiki bar every day we’ve been here. Justin is a great bartender and very friendly! The atmosphere is friendly and view is beautiful. We will definitely be back!

The bar was okay. We didn't eat there since the food was intended to be a quick meal, frozen pizza, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, brat. The drinks were tasty and a little pricey, but worth the price to me. Lots of ice. It was disappointing that we couldn't purchase pool passes.

Perfect spot for a drink or bite on the beach. Justin delivers quick and efficient service. Recommended spot to stop for a drink or stay on vacation.

Parking sucks, drinks taste horrible, bartender was rude, nice view. Would not recommend.
