Dirty Laundry

Dirty Laundry is one of the coolest spots around if you’re looking for something different. The whole speakeasy concept is a lot of fun. Walking into what looks like a laundromat, using the pay phone, and finding the hidden entrance behind the washing machines is a great way to kick off the night. Once you’re inside, the vibe is awesome. Great music, really good drinks, and the appetizers were all on point. It’s the kind of place where you go in planning to have one drink and end up hanging out for a few hours. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the St. Pete area.

I was really excited to check out Dirty Laundry because I had heard such great things about the concept—and I’ll admit, the vibe did not disappoint at first. The hidden entrance and secret door leading into the bar was such a cool and unique experience. It definitely gives that speakeasy feel and makes you excited to be there. We only ordered a coffee just to experience the space, which came out to $4 plus a $2 tip—so $6 total. After that, we spent the rest of the day at the beach and didn’t think anything of it. Unfortunately, later that night, our debit card was hit with THREE additional charges totaling around $60 from this location. We were completely confused since we hadn’t made any other purchases. We went back to speak with the staff, and while they were polite, they said they didn’t know why it happened and couldn’t really provide an explanation or resolution. Now we’re stuck having to dispute the charges with our bank, which is frustrating and disappointing after what started as a fun experience. The concept and atmosphere are definitely cool, but this situation really took away from it. Just be cautious when paying here and keep an eye on your bank statements. Update!!!! I’m extremely disappointed with my experience. Fraudulent charges were made on my card at this establishment, and when I disputed them with my bank, I was sent documentation showing a forged signature under the name “JOHN B.” for food and beer purchases that I did not authorize. Despite reporting the fraud, I was denied reimbursement because the merchant provided this false signature as proof. This situation has been incredibly stressful and upsetting. I strongly encourage others to carefully monitor their statements after visiting this business. I expected better security and accountability when handling customers’ payment information. Shame on whoever was responsible for this dishonest behavior!!!

Dirty Laundry is such a cool spot. The vibe is amazing — live music, great atmosphere, and a really fun crowd. The décor is super unique and gives it that cozy-but-edgy feel. They also have an outdoor patio that’s perfect to hang out, especially on nice nights. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. And Colin, the bartender, is the best — always in a great mood, super attentive, and makes the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for good music, good drinks, and a great overall vibe. I’ll absolutely be back!

Cool place! Unfortunately didn't get to try their food. But good cocktails and vibe

I visited on Saturday and understand that a prepared cocktail costs around $14. However, I was surprised to find that my single spirit drink was charged at $18. I order a gin & tonic🤔
