You should come see Brie at the at bar 548 on Tues and Saturday. Not only does she make a great drink, she will make you an original Cuban sandwich. 😉 she has a fun personality and loves life. I will recommend see her and have a shot every time you come to St. Pete

If you like a good dive bar where the drinks are generous and the people are friendly, then this is your place.

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.

The most terrible gem of a bar of all the bars we went to in Tampa. The older not so lady like bartender was busy reinventing the term surly service with a grimace. We had a good beer and a strongly poured JD. The bad R&B music went well with the authentic rose wood Shalele. I'd be counting my tills overnight if I owned this place.
