I have passed this neighborhood restaurant many times, and have heard good things about it. I decided to give it a try, and stopped by for lunch. Cute place. Nice menu. My sandwich was good. Service was terrible. I sat at the bar, and therefore depended on the bartender. I almost had to throw out a leg and trip her to get her to stop and handle a request. I spent as much time waiting for her to pick and process my credit card as I spent eating my lunch. I don't think I'll be back. If you do go here, prepare for long waits, and make sure to add to your initial order anything you might want over the course f your meal.

I love this place, so please understand that this is a 1 star review because I really hope management sees it and tries to turn it around. This review is meant to be constructive criticism in the hopes of improvement.I'm just going to say it, this place needs to be professionally cleaned from top to bottom. I did my best to look past the thick layers of dirt everywhere and dead bugs frequently found in the restroom, but I can't any longer. The straw that broke the camels back was a thick clump of mold that I found in a draft beer. The lines are obviously not being flushed. And I should have know they aren't. If you're leaving dirt and bugs where you know customers can see it, you're obviously not cleaning what we can't see.Please, clean this beloved bar up. It's to the point where you really ought to close for a couple days and bring in professionals. Your food is excellent and your staff is stellar. I hope this is received in the spirit it's intended, helpful and well-intentioned.

I've been wanting to try his place and I finally had a chance to with a friend. It's a great neighborhood dive bar where everyone seems to know everyone. The bartender and clientele were friendly and fun to talk to. They have a surprisingly great selection of draft beers with lots of imports from Belgium, Canada, Germany, and probably some others. I'd go back just for the beer.

Food was great, bartender was having a bad day.. she let you know it. So when your sitting at the bar having lunch it's not a great experience.

They used to have really good pizza. Idk what happened. Food was worse than “bar food” this visit. Haven’t been there in a few years and I won’t be back unless it changes ownership or something. If you go for beer it’s fine, but definitely don’t plan on a good bite to eat.

We live in St. Pete and we wanted to go out for a late night drink and food but didn't want to go downtown. My husband I decided to try this place. So glad we did. They had good beer and wine. Food was fantastic! We had the beer cheese soup, crap stuffed portabella, the Dublin dip sandwich, and the tavern steak sandwich. The service was good. the 2 gentleman were kind and friendly. We would definitely recommend you give this place a try. We will be back.

Laid back atmosphere and great beer

Great little local place. Blues music playing, friendly staff, Yeungling on draft and great food. What else can you ask for.

Food was pleasantly surprising. Staff was friendly and especially for being a tavern was very peaceful. Very reasonably priced.
