Alex AvalosAugust 11, 2013Awesome little bar with an eclectic mix of music and people. Price on drinks aren't too bad but on the higher end for the area if you want some nice craft beers or a solid mixed drink. 8 out of 10!Upvote4Downvote
Best cocktails in St. Pete. No competition, especially when they have their special Rhode Island coffee syrup.Upvote2Downvote

David LasaterAugust 19, 2013My only regret is not checking out this place sooner. Great place guys.UpvoteDownvote- Mel BJuly 20, 2014This place may be a decent place to grab a beer and hang out but, it took forever for me to get a beer and this place is too freaking small to see a band.UpvoteDownvote

"A divey dive bar that is best visited whilst already three sheets to the wind. All joking aside though; accommodating staff, stiff drinks, and reasonably priced. What more do you want from a dive."
