Went here because we were staying next door. The undertow is apparently under construction. They are renovating so don't be alarmed by appearance. The beers are cold and prices are good for area. Views from patio bar is great. It's hard not to have a great view anywhere on St Pete. The bartender that waited on us the first day... More

Found this place by accident, was staying near by and it seemed quite difficult to get some late night drinks, however this place was perfect, it didnt look the most welcoming of bars and certainly some of the staff needed a course in hospitality, but that said, it was a fun place to be in the evening, located right on...

My parents and I found this bar last year and loved the atmosphere. I think we spent four out of our five sunsets sitting at this bar. There is nothing like watching the sun set,digging your toes in the sand,and sipping on a cold beer! This place is certainly NOT the Don, but we were looking for low key place,... More

This place is so low life. We were staying at the Don Cesar for my cousin's wedding down the beach and got tired of paying $14 for a glass of wine so came to the Undertow several times for drinks. We actually purchased two bottles of wine from a nice fellow that afternoon. Anyway, on a Sunday evening we went... More

This employee has to be the worst employee I have ever encountered in the hospitality business. She was foul mouth and disrespectful. I cannot imagine how ownership would hire or keep this employee partner. I was at the undertow yesterday and spent over $90.00. I am a long time patron and own property in St Pete Beach. I have always... More

This bar has an amazing beer selection for being a beach bar. maybe over 100??? not sure but for the beach it was huge. We also had some peel and eat shrimp that was cooked perfect. This bar is worth a visit.

Most told me this was a dive bar, I did not find it as such this place was hip and cool the food was good even my pulled pork sandwich which only took 5 mins to be served, The bar is unique with water running thru it. The bar staff were friendly and fun

Food was good but not sure why the bar staff does not take the extra minute to serve it. The bartenders were less then pleasant. We went four times and i think there was one time that i saw a bartender smile. It seemed like they worked hard to be rude. One guy was standing at the bar for a... More
