Rum Runners Bar & Grille

Checked out the newly built Rum Runners at Sirata Beach Resort. Can not say enough good things about the atmosphere and the servers were awesome! We are locals and live on Gulf Boulevard, on the same street, and this is definitely the most upscale beach bar on the beach. Sits right on St. Pete Beach and open garage doors make you feel like you are right there on the sand. The drinks were very good and reasonably priced. The piña colada was off the charts! Not trying to be too dramatic, but was one of the best I've ever had. Huge bar that faces the beach. On the side that faces the beach there are three large screen TVs so just enough. You don't feel overwhelmed like it is a sports bar. Just very beachy and just enough to keep those tuned into the sports with what they want to see (World Cup today). Service was off the charts good. The only critical thing I would say is these poor servers and bartenders are all dressed in long sleeve and long pants in BLACK! It is painful to watch them! Just BRUTAL!!! We were there on 4th of July and it was well over 100° and these poor people were dressed in those uniforms. Management - come on!!!! This is cruel and unusual punishment. Put them in shorts and short sleeve shirts, which would fit the ambience of the place and would not make people sitting there in already hot conditions feeling sorry for them. That's just inexcusable! We will definitely be back. Prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere and location is absolutely awesome! Diamond, our waitress, was absolutely stellar. Will be coming back if nothing else just to check in with her - hopefully in more temperature friendly attire

It was so nice to have an amazing restaurant at the resort that we were staying! We didn’t have to go far and really enjoyed the ambiance. The service, food and drinks were delicious! We visited multiple times a day and even watched the FIFA game!
