    Live music on a Monday night casual fun lively people just wanting to get out, dance & socialize. We ordered wings appetizer buffalo style is really hot!! Fire!! Holy buckets luckily you can get your own water from Igloo coolers around. Bartenders are pretty busy with the crowd, but they keep up for sure!

    Super cool bar across from The beach. Has a divey atmosphere that I like. Live bands daily and also drink daily specials. Service is ok in general. They do have food and specials on that as well. Overall, I go for the music, less for the drinks or food. Note, parking is not easy in that area.

    Typical beach dive bar that is technically not on the beach. There's a one lane road on each side of the bar. Parking is a major hassle but once inside enjoy live music and super cheap burgers. They're small and aren't bad when they don't over cook them. Service is all over the place and you're probably better off going to the bar to get your drinks.

    We went on a Saturday evening with friends to hear The Spazmatics play. It was our first time checking this place out. It is a small beach town, Tiki restaurant and bar. It sits directly across from the beach with a view of sunset on a clear evening. It's all outdoor except a small room in the back with a pool table and a few tables that is air conditioned. Parking is limited if you get there before it's busy you can land a free spot on site. Otherwise your spending $6 hr on parking. They do not have servers, but the bartenders service was very friendly and quick. You order and pick up yourself. We ordered a burger, fish sandwich & fried chicken patty. The onion rings were good, but the burger was not impressive, low quality beef. The drinks are very watered down, so if you like beer or wine stick to that. FYI, The Spazmatics are a very fun 80s band if you ever get the chance to see them and you enjoy 80s music, I would definitely attend. My overall take, would I go back probably not. https://www.katikisunsetbeach.com/

    I stopped by for a drink at the recommendation of the bartender working at Caddy's this afternoon. Loved the chill, low key dive vibe of the tiki bar. The bartender Cindy was great, very outgoing and personal, she came right out and introduced herself and asked for my name and called me by name during our conversation. I had one draft beer and thought it was reasonably priced. I'm so glad the decision was made to open up the remaining plastic windows bc a smoker came in and lit up a few seats away from me. I probably would have stayed for another round of drinks, but simply couldn't deal with the smoking.

    Cheeseburger LTO with fries...

    Been coming for for many years, not a regular by any means but two or three times a month to catch some local talent. And all this time never really eating here. Think I had someones hot wings one time. But this time we decided to grab some lunch and listen to Bad Neighbors... lucky enough to get a table under the tiki. For being such a nice day and good music the bar tenders were handling it well. I wanted to try the cheeseburger, ordered it LTO and fries on the side. I believe the wife had a chicken sandwich. Be for we knew it our food was here and first thing I noticed was the patty was broke in half. Thought it may had happen when cooking, it was all there. Then I noticed all the burgers I saw were in half. I guess checking if their done. It was great beach side burger, the LTO was fresh and crisp and the fries were just as good...next time I'm there I'll get it again. On the bar it self, it's a true beach bar. The patrons and bartenders are nice, never had an issue nor seen any. PARKING, dang parking is hard to come by. The wife and I ride our bicycles some times because parking is bad, that's the only negative I take from this place. You stand a better chance to park if your on a motorcycle, they make room for you. Peace.

    Always a good time, but it's the best when StreetWise plays during the day. They bring the perfect mix of energy and fun, and it makes the whole beach vibe even better!! Honestly, I only try to come out when they're scheduled, and if they played here more often, I'd be at here way more The band honestly MAKES the experience. I have not seen any other band here draw such a great crowd.

    The live band & the location of Ka'tiki is what makes this place. We really enjoyed the live music of The Nightbreakers. It was lively, energetic, & customers were extremely friendly. They say they're dog friendly but only outside, we got a little bit of an attitude from the bouncer at the entrance when we tried to go inside with our dogs to order drinks & listen to the band. I wouldn't have minded so much if they had specified that on their website or if they had servers taking care of customers outside, but we had to go inside to keep ordering drinks. Then we wanted late night food but kitchen closes on the earlier side. It was definitely frustrating being out at a late night spot with music & drinks but no food later in the evening. The outside area is very nice and open thankfully the live music stage is very open to the outside area but band faces inside the restaurant. It's located across from the beach. Parking was a little weird too we parked in an empty lot across the street and paid to park. Not sure if they offer free parking.

    Amazing beach bar great music and fun people accepts from the beach which is where my pictures were taken

    Fries, tater tots and burgers!

    After a couple hours on the beach, we headed out to Ka'Tiki Sunset Beach. We had their burger specials and the portions were perfect. Not too much. Not too little. Food was good. We had a side of fries, chicken wings and tater tots. All in all, pretty good. The day was perfect. We got lucky and parked on the property vs across the paid parking lot. Good place! Repeat? Yes!

    Apparently he works for the bar. Physically engaged with my wife and doesn't work at Kaitiki

A typical setup with thatched roof bar, lots of tikis and overall fun atmosphere. We were able to pick from their standard menu as well as their brunch menu, and we picked from the latter. We ordered drinks: a captain and diet for hubby, and a quarantini for me which was light and tasty. We shared an appetizer sized ahi tuna, perfectly prepared and served with seaweed salad. Delicious! Our entree was a tasty crab cake served on a pretzel bun and served with tater tots ( our choice), and according to Tom " it was the bomb", as the "combined taste was so good". Our server was just okay; not overly friendly and a bit annoyed when I asked if they served mojitos ( evidently not, had I looked at the menu...) Prices were a bit lower than I'd expect near the beach in St. Pete.

They were really busy with 2 bartenders on Saturday night. They were average on getting drinks out. On a good note they had great live rock music!! Falcon Band rocks!!

    Wow. I expected more from a place rated 4 stars. To be…read morespecific we went to the beach bar because the restaurant wasn't open yet. The very first issue was parking. Parking is minimum $50 a day + fees. A cocktail? For an hour? Haha no. I'm being mildly disingenuous. The bar staff (and likely restaurant staff) will give you a QR code to validate all $58 of your parking. But it made me acutely miss a time when you could just park and patronize an establishment. Just don't forget to validate your parking, cuz they sure didn't ask preemptively. They were celebrating a 3-day grand reopening when we went on Saturday. There was *one* artisan in their market space. The music was pumping loud enough to not be able to converse. Although it drew a crowd of younger folks, there was not much to behold from the "grand" reopening. Not even s cost of paint. The beach bar may not have been part of the sprucing up idk, I didn't see anything worth celebrating. I meant to look at the size of the cocktail cup that we got (small), but $13-14 for a cocktail is highway robbery for the end result. And $18 for 6 wings ($3 a wing) was a little disappointing. I expected better of a Hilton adjoined restaurant. No one part was terrible. It was just the way they matched up - loud, expensive, small portions. If you're loud maybe you're cheap and tasty. If you're expensive, maybe you're fast and delicious. This was all the worst parts of a bar that doesn't care about its patrons' economics. A bar that wants to serve tourists with mediocrity and move on to the next crop of people who will never be there again. If you're a tourist it'll probably be fine, if overpriced. If you're a local, don't bother. To be fair, we should ask if there was anything good. hm ... no. We won't be returning. 3 stars is probably generous.

When we got there on Friday around three in the afternoon, it was already pretty busy with a very senior crowd. We chose to order a couple of beers and just sat at one of the tables outside. From what we observed, the team all seem pretty friendly and when we did ask if they had bottles of water, they did make the effort to see if they could find any on property. Unfortunately, the one location they looked that they thought they would be, and they didn't have them- at that point we were just ready to keep moving on with our day so let them know it was fine and we appreciated the attempt.
