Undertow Beach Bar

The Undertow is located right on St. Pete Beach at a beautiful, and you will love it here. There is a parking challenge. But whether you walk or drive there, …

Very disappointing experience as a local resident. We’ve heard so much hype about The Undertow — especially about their ribs and drinks — and were really looking forward to finally checking it out.

Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told that while it’s a “public beach bar,” their parking lot is private and not available for customers. Instead, we were matter of fact lying dismissed abd told we’d need to park a couple of blocks away in paid public parking just to visit. As locals trying to support local businesses, it’s frustrating to feel like that support isn’t valued or accommodated.

Sadly, we left without ever getting the chance to try the food or drinks. Based on this experience, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be back to see if it lives up to the hype.

We found this beauty on a Google search so drove the one and a half hours to get to it.
We had no idea we couldn’t park there so parked up the road.
Upon arriving, we couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome by Cara.
She is the daughter of the owner and they built the bar many years ago.
It’s the coolest bar. Full of character and water running through the counter!
You can play games or sit outside on the most BEAUTIFUL beach in the world and watch the dolphins in the water, followed by a breath taking sunset.
They have another bar next to it which is an outside beach bar.
We had a day on the beach and loved it so much, we booked 3 local suites and stayed the night.
We were back at the bar today and the staff were equally as attentive.

The bar doesn’t serve food but they are happy for you to order in and eat there.

Thank you so much for making a travelling family from the UK feel so welcome.

P.S – Picture attached of Cara’s party trick! Haha.

After a phone call to Undertoe, the woman indicated that we could park there AND knew we were coming from the beach. After clarification, we were done with our beach adventure, so decided to venture up to the Undertow to have drinks, food, watch the game, and enjoy some Thanksgiving company. Upon approaching the establishment from the beach, a man immediately began yelling at our party of 8 to get off HIS beach. I was trying to ask him if we could come in to watch the game, but never let me get a word in edgewise. He just continued to yell. As this was happening, 2 members of our group were pulling into the parking lot to meet the rest of us. Nope…he began yelling at them saying that they couldn’t park there. So much can be said for tact, or lack there of. Kindness goes a long way. It was not busy, beach wasn’t packed…it’s windy and 72°. We will be happy to take our business elsewhere. Happy Thanksgiving to you despite your rude demeanor. I hope you can find happiness on this Thanksgiving Day.

I mean the beach is nice but don’t even think about bringing a chair. You’ll get screamed at and told to move off “their” beach. Everyone employee there was rude and made our experience miserable. They took away my belongs without consulting me
about it and when I went to retreat my item they threw it at me. If you want to go to the beach and be treated like you’re in pre school this is your spot!! I didn’t know you could own a section of the beach!?

This review is specifically for the person working at this place today, 11/27/25, Thanksgiving day. We were at the beach with our family visiting from out of town, and we wanted to sit at the bar for drinks and to watch the football game. We called and were told is OK to go, and ok to park there. We are a party of 8, so most of us walked from the beach while 2 others went to get the car. However, immediately upon approaching the place from the beach side, this person (owner maybe?) ran out and yelled at us to leave his property at once…in an extremely rude manner. He did not even let us explain we had just called. He continued to yell as we were walking away that we aren’t allowed in his property and his beach. I have never experienced anything like this before. The absolute rudeness we were treated with was completely uncalled for. NEVER again will I go there or recommend anyone to try this place.

I really wanted to love UnderTow because the beach bar vibe is spot on, but the experience was bogged down by some head-scratching policies. We brought a cooler (and while I totally understand why those aren’t allowed inside) the staff made us trek it a quarter-mile away to a random sign rather than offering a convenient solution.

The real kicker was leaving: despite being steps away from the street, we were forced to lug the cooler back through the sand and around the building rather than just walking through the parking lot. The logic just wasn’t there, especially considering we spent over $150 on drinks while we were there. It’s not like we weren’t supporting the business; we were happy to pay, but we didn’t appreciate being treated like an inconvenience.

Also, as someone who isn’t a “hardcore” environmentalist, seeing the beach littered with plastic straws was disappointing. I thought I found shells in the sand twice, only to realize I was digging up plastic. Great spot for a drink, but be prepared for some frustrating hurdles and a lot of plastic waste.

Security will treat you like a criminal no matter how much money you spend. God forbid a chair you brought touches their beach…

No music and expensive drinks. TVs are nice.

Location is the first thing to love about the Undertow Beach Bar. Two separate bars to choose from serving up great cocktails. Very limited food menu…like snacks. Plenty of T.V’s to catch all the games on. Rubber ducks float on a stream of running water carved into the bar. This is something everyone remembers. Cheers

Great if you’re a member, but still great area for accessing the beach. Owner Pete is cool and laid back. A beautiful spot, with great energy, a fun crowd, and even for families. I could live and hang out here for the rest of my life
