Best Bar I've Been All Night. The Bartender Jamie Was On Point ? With Service. Thanks!

We were a little wary to begin since every other bar we had passed was busy and this place only had one patron sitting at the bar on her laptop; however it was clean and nicely decorated so we decided to give it a shot. The woman on her laptop turned out to be our bartender. She was curt and distant but friendly enough. We ordered a margarita and a cocktail from the menu. My margarita was one of the worst I've ever had. It was somehow simultaneously watered down and too strong. All I could taste was poor quality tequila and water. My friend's cocktail was also poorly made and didn't match the description from the menu. Instead of leaving, we ordered food and had an equally disappointing experience...the loaded nachos was mostly just chips slathered in a cilantro sauce and a couple of chunks of meat. Despite being the only customers, and sitting at the bar, it took a long time to get the disinterested bartender's attention when we were ready to pay the bill. We weren't in a rush, so we didn't make a big deal of it, but there was little in our visit that inspires a desire to give this place a second chance.

We only stopped for a beer and appetizer but this restaurant has a nice atmosphere. We sat outside and our server was over promptly and took good care of us. The nachos were delicious, the beer was cold and we got to sit outside in great weather. I'd like to go back and try some more of their menu next time I'm in town.

Stumbled across this place today and had the pleasure of eating their pot roast. Oh my, theirs is the absolute best I've ever had. Sweet and spicy. Yum!

Great staff! Good food variety. Weekly live music!

I was excited to try this place because they promote their wings as being awesome. It was such a disappointment. Five, yes five people behind the bar at times but yet the service was TERRIBLE. Warm beer and mediocre food. Had to send the food back because it was not even lukewarm. So we left and went next door.

Been there a few times on Sunday's to see Jimmy the solo act that plays there. Did not eat but had drinks. Mixed drinks that were all weak and over priced. Shots were very over priced with small portions.

Service was good. Bloodly Mary ok. Had chicken sandwich and Black & Blue salad. Food was average. Had to get another set of utensils, opened the napkin and they were dirty.

Right in the middle of the Downtown Central Ave stretch of bars, decently priced drinks. The best part is the outdoor seating with live music. Not as divey as some of it's neighbors (not that thats a bad thing).

Good service. Acceptable food, but would not call it a gastro pub. More of a pub with decent food.
We were here for first Friday January 2020 which the city of St Petersburg cancelled due to weather. It was the nicest night in a while. We my date had the first special drink on the menu something with Ketel one and finished with Champagne she loved it and had another, I had a couple of Jai Alai's and then we shared the wings and the naan pizza with steak, blue cheese and tomato. Drinks, food and service were very good and we will be back.

Cool place! We went in on New Year's Eve and had a great time. Bartenders were very attentive and night. The DJ was awesome.

All and all - not very impressed. The atmosphere and outdoor seating area is super cute, which is what drew us in to begin with. But our service was super slow; I get it was a holiday/we overheard that our server was new, but we waited over an hour for our food. In addition, I ordered a Caesar salad and after asking our own server for it multiple times, a different server informed us that they were out of caesars for the night. My boyfriend and I are both servers ourself so we try not to over critique service -but this just seemed to be a wash. The food itself was pretty good, however the portions are small and a bit pricy.

Great drink specials! Thank you so much to Jerry and the awesome service he provided to my husband and I. Jerry makes the BEST MIMOSAS. The live music is great. Connor is always a talent I enjoy watching as well as Kent. The energy here is why I chose Del Mar as the place to go in downtown.
