My kind of bar vibe! So happy to have found this bar. Jose' (sp? Sorry!) Was a delight. Big fan. Happy to be here. Best dive, great music, much love from Savannah!!
First time at The Bends, and Gordie absolutely made the experience unforgettable. His incredible personality lights up the entire bar, and you can tell he loves what he does. The energy he brings is unmatched, and he makes every customer feel like they belong. I truly believe the bartender makes the bar, and Gordie is the man. Best Friday night out ever! I’ll 100% be coming back.
My favorite bar in downtown St. Petersburg. Unbeatable prices, creative drink menu, ultra-friendly bartenders and a unique crowd. We got our typical drinks, but tried an "unusual" offer, a Caprese Salad Martini. Surprisingly refreshing. Come here for great live music too!
Favorite bar in town! Great vibes and Hangs
I ordered an old-fashioned and the bartender was adding water to it. I have no clue why you would add water to an old-fashioned. Based on that alone first time last time. It wasn’t the simple syrup lol
Love the bartenders, drink variety, atmosphere and location. Favorite gem of st.pete for sure! Plus they allow dogs 🙂
