Dirty Laundry is a restaurant and speakeasy, disguised as a laundromat! We caught sight of this place while walking around west downtown St. Pete, FL near the giant ice cream cone sculpture. It was midday on a weekend, (Apr 2026), and they were serving a short lunch menu. We got a handful of savory beef empanadas with strong black brightly flavored espresso, one with a splash of almond milk. We were tempted by their nitro cold-brew, but instead moved on to chomp on fun zingy chili-lime yucca fries with chipotle aioli, completely compatible with ice-cold Pacifica Clara pilsner and Modelo lager from among craft and classics on-tap. This is a pleasant spot for a Saturday or Sunday midday retreat. We gotta come back in the evening (Thu-Sun) when we're cool enough for their speakeasy :-) read more

We came here shortly after they opened on a Saturday so it wasn't crowded (which we prefer). It's really cute and fun! You walk in and are greeted with more of a cafe-type bar. There's a payphone you pick up and it gives you the code for the door to the speakeasy to open. You're then transported into a dark moody bar with music and fun decor. There's also a back outdoor patio you can access from there. We had a drink and just hung out for a bit and the drink was great! This is a fun place to bring family and friends visiting from out of town. I'm sure it gets crowded at night! read more

Very cool and fun place. We enjoyed a pre dinner cocktail. Friendly staff and good drinks. Like the music and the vibe

Lovely gem in the heart of St. Pete's. Highly recommended. I was unfortunately relocated to St. Petersburg for work... hated every moment of the few months I lived there. I struggled a lot - anything I could do to get my mind off of it helped. Dirty Laundry did just thatl. It ended up being a great place to esacape. They have a fun entrance that does appear like a laundromat. Once you find the secret entrane, the bar area is HOPPING. There's always a line for drinks and they're worth the wait. A bit pricey but absolutely worth it. We did split a couple appetizers the times that we went, the food was good. The music was loud but fun. The overall vibe of Dirty Laundry is welcoming and fun. They were absolutely a peaceful place to escape to while living somewhere we hated. The staff was friendly and we'll forever be thankful for their kindness. read more

Super cool speakeasy in downtown St Pete! Looks like a laundromat.... But there's more! You must use the phone to call in and get a secret code and get access to the real party! They have fun cocktails, 15-18$ each. Live music some nights. Nice patio to chill out on as well. It's a fun stop for sure. read more

A super fun speakeasy right off Central. Pick up the pay phone, listen for the code, and you are transported from a laundromat to a Latin inspired bar! The day we went, mid afternoon, it was DARK in there, like we couldn't even read the menus. The bartenders all seemed a bit off, like they were all in a mood and in each other's way. Regardless, our drinks were fantastic and the vibes were 10 out of 10. read more

Such a fun environment, and our bartender Tory was freaking awesome!! Super fast and absolutely delicious drinks.

This was our first night in St. Pete so we wanted to celebrate with cocktails. Then our friends told us about a speakeasy in a laundromat, I was like "yes, let's go!" A gal at the counter greeted us and asked if we were there for coffee or cocktails. We expressed interest in cocktails and she directed us to a pay phone. The recording on the phone provided instructions to enter the speakeasy through a washing machine...or maybe it was a dryer. I forget. After walking through the washer/dryer, we entered a dark and artsy bar area complete with DJ booth, dance floor with disco ball, and lounge areas. I ordered a Mango Guava Mojito. Full transparency, I couldn't taste the guava. I even suspect that it may not have been in there. However, I forgive the lack of guava because the mango flavor came in full force and I was doing my happy dance...partially because of the nice buzz from the mojito but also because this tasted so good! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dirty-laundry-st-petersburg?select=YXW-z_9r40DOMoiC0ujuiA Hubby ordered the Made in Havana. Our friends had the Cayo Coco and a Strawberry Agua Fresca. Everyone seemed to enjoy their drinks. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dirty-laundry-st-petersburg?select=gI-Z9b24xUiNYabufict0w We took our drinks to the back patio which was lively in color (mostly pink) with a beachy theme and cool vibe. We enjoyed the music that was playing. As we were leaving, we realized that the music we were listening to was a live musician/singer that had been performing inside! She was really talented. Such a fun place for a fun night with fun friends :) read more

This is such a cool speakeasy. Definitely loved taking pictures here! The bartender was SO sweet and down to earth and really professional when I heard her telling someone they could no longer continue being served as she didn't feel comfortable. I think it's important when bartenders take their jobs seriously like this. I really enjoyed my White Sangria! It was not really that busy, so we didn't stay long, but I'd try it again next time I'm in the area. read more

This was such a fun and unique speakeasy. It is set up like a laundromat and once you speak the secret work you're led through the wall into the back room that is an inside outside experience. The food is light bites so don't come hungry. The drinks are delicious. The ambiance is an intimate blue lighting and once down the hallway you're in an open air seating area. I enjoy cool days so for me that is perfect for these fall/winter nights. They have warming lamps for those who can't handle cold. It's an amazing experience for a first date. The staff is friendly. It's pretty busy once inside so they aren't super attentive but again, it's busy. There's multiple types of seating both inside outside. Built to accommodate various group and date sizes. read more

Stopped by for the speakeasy vibe and gimmick from social media, cool and fun experience to enter the bar area. Beers were ice cold which was great of course. Ordered two empanadas which took 20 minutes to arrive (the bar was dead) and were piping hot for another 10 minutes. Would maybe come back with out of town visitors. The crowd age was varied which was cool too. read more

Dirty Laundry Speakeasy is EVERYTHING. Genius concept, incredible vibes, and such a cool, diverse crowd. My husband and I had an absolute time--we loved it so much we went both Friday and Saturday. The drinks were fire. I had an espresso martini, and it was the best one I've had while in town. He had the passion fruit mojito, and yes honey... perfection. Real dope spot. Don't hesitate--GO. read more

LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE ... it's so nicely decorated and the staff here is really nice and professional. I have only used their drop off service for larger comforters and each time the have done a great job Definitely recommend!! read more

Fun, but packed speakeasy hidden behind a mock laundromat near all the action in downtown st pete. I visited on a thursday night and it was super busy. No hats allowed!! Some guys in our party learned the hard way that they couldn't wear their hats inside. It took some time to order our drinks at the bar and there wasn't much available seating. The presentation of the drinks was very nice! But the overall it's more of a bar vibe with a hidden speakeasy concept. We went outside to get some space, but soon after finding a table were told they were all reserved. Would consider coming back for a quick drink and then moving on to a different spot where it's easier to talk and get a drink read more

FUN!! What a cool concept for a speakeasy! The initial entrance looks like a 1950's diner/laundry-mat. You use the payphone to get a code for the secret door (which is a washing machine!) to get to the speakeasy. I wish I took more pics but I was originally confused as to what was going on in this place... Once in the speakeasy, the space has a latin/spanish feel. I ordered the "made in havana" martini (espresso martini) and it was delicious but surprisingly small (and expensive). Regardless I would still recommend checking this place out for the vibes as I've never been anywhere like this! :) read more

Intro: I have been on a speakeasy fix lately. So you already know that when I visited St. Pete, one of the first things I did was to do some research on Yelp to see what speakeasies were in the area. Dirty Laundry was a two-minute walk from my hotel so we made our way on a Friday night. Ambiance (5/5): This is where speakeasies shine. Especially this one. You walk into what looks like a hip laundromat. That is after the bouncer checks your ID (this takes away from the allure a little bit but all good). From there, you pick up a pay phone. There's an automated message on the pay phone listing a code. You enter the code on the phone which leads to one of the washers opening to reveal a hidden door. That is your entrance to the speakeasy. Dirty Laundry is a speakeasy with some Latin flair. There was a DJ doing his thing when we arrived. I absolutely loved the music he was playing. There is some seating at the bar and some comfortable sofas throughout too. And they have a patio. It's quite large for a speakeasy and louder than your typical speakeasy but I was okay with that since they do everything at a high level. The decor is fresh and hip. The sort of ambiance that appeals to what I like to call "the Instagrammers." Drinks (5/5): Another area where speakeasies shine, this one included. They had a creative list of craft cocktails. I tried two of them and they were both delicious. One was lit on fire. More expensive than your typical cocktail but you pay a little more for the craftsmanship. I didn't notice if they had food, we were just there for drinks. Overall: This was my favorite speakeasy in St. Pete and actually my favorite bar overall (I visited quite a few). If you're looking for a hype place to hang out, with the added bonus of the cool things that speakeasies provide, Dirty Laundry is an A+ choice. read more

Great location and atmosphere. Thursday of latin night was great. The Mojitos were ok, not the best. The bartenders were very attentive and nice. La localización está excelente y buen ambiente. La entraga esta super cool. Los moritos buenos, pero no son de lo mejor mejor. Jueves es de música latina y es una nota... Buena diversidad cultural y los bartenders muy atentos. read more

The concept is very cool. I went on a Thursday, Latin night is extremely fun. ‼HOWEVER‼ As a bartender, I know a good bit about alcohol and cocktails, and I'm relatively positive the alcohol and wine are watered down. I've gone through enough bottles of Empress to know how deep the color should be, and the prosecco by itself had no bubbles. Spare yourself the $10-15/drinks BUT go for the vibes. read more

I love the service and the cocktails are cute. It's always a nice break from the hussle & bussle in Tampa to come to a calmer Central Ave. Maybe that's why they call this a "SPEAKEASY"! The setting is cafe inspired with a surprise door to the total opposite. Shhhh! Go check them out. I have more photos & clips but then I'd be giving away the ______. read more

Dirty Laundry is a really great, really fun spot. Service gets a bit backed up, because it stays busy, but they move as quickly as they can. I enjoy the cocktails that I've had here, as well as their collection of seltzers. Definitely recommend a stop here on a fun night out! read more

This is certainly a night time place! We chose to check this place out for their brunch time burlesque show which, we clearly went on the wrong day(it is not every Sunday like it used to be)! Showing up it was very empty and only one bartender on staff at the time. It was nice not having to wait for a drink, however it did feel out of place to find a table and keep walking up to the bar to order drinks. We did decide to eat the food outdoors which was short lived in the Florida sun. The space itself is honestly really fantastic, I can certainly see how it would be the place to go for night life! The food was tasty and the drinks were deviously good! I could certainly see coming back here at night! From all the murmurs I have heard I think I came here on an odd time/day for them, be sure you go on the right Sunday if you're looking to see the burlesque! read more

I've heard a lot about this place and glad I finally got around to checking it out. I came fairly early in the evening so it wanted crowded at all. The passionfruit mojito was amazing and so were the yuca fries. The girl performing "Kayla Evender" I hope I got her name correct was amazing. She had a beautiful voice and sang some great R&B songs while we were there. The ambiance was really cool and had a wide variety of people here. I will definitely come back and recommend to others. read more

A total vibe here right when you step inside! If your first time here the person at the counter will tell you what to do but you can always just follow the lead of the regulars who come in next. When you walk in there is a DJ right there with room to start dancing. A very efficient bar area taking and making orders quickly. There is a back area with another bar but did not really explore it - I saved that for the next time ;). read more

Terribly disappointing. Great concept but poorly executed. We tried to order coffees before entering the so called "tiki bar". They were out of milk & decaf coffee. So the barista, who complained the entire time, made the cappuccino with almond milk. It was dreadful. He told us if we wanted good coffee we should go to this other place where he also works. Then we entered the "tiki bar", which was just depressing. A dark room with no windows, flat black walls and no decor. It was the furthest thing from a tiki bar. Looked more like an escape room that I couldn't wait to get out of. They do live up to their name though. It did in fact look like a dirty laundry. read more

Heading into the speakeasy was fun. They had a lot of options and I got some drink with a burning cinnamon stick that was pretty good. The place is dark and relaxing.

There was some outdoor seating and the other half of the building served food. read more

Choice of throwback music from DJ TONE last night brought back so many memories! Free street parking down the street and it was easy to get in after showing our ID. The bouncer will tell you what to do next. Walked in and the music was bopping! We went straight to the bar and ordered a Moscow Mule and a beer. We sat outside for a bit with their super comfy patio, then once we heard the beat getting heavier -- we went inside and danced the night away. The bar tenders were quick and were into the groove of the music. The restrooms could use more work. The woman's stall had urine all over the floor, no tissues. Definitely needs an air freshener. read more

This is another cute fun little Super Top Secret St. Pete Central Avenue hangout spot. Laundrymat and café but is there more to it???? Search and find out.. Cool cozy dark bar and nice outdoor patio area. The indoor space is small and the band that was playing when I was there was overpowering and wayyyyy too loud. But hopefully they ll find entertainment that's a better fit and more fun. I'm still giving them Five stars because it's a quirky spot to check out and add to your repertoire. read more

This place was poppin on a Saturday night. No entrance cover but there was a dress code. My favorite thing was that it looks like a laundromat in the front and then one of the machines opens up to this really cool club. The music was great. The DJ did amazing remixing Spanish with hip hop, there was a great drink menu & the drinks were not crazy overpriced. I'll definitely be back read more

The Winter Daisy cocktail is officially one of my fav cocktails I've ever had. Milagro reposado, amaro, cinnamon agave, fresh lemon, and flamed citrus swath.

This is such a cool and unique speakeasy located in downtown St. Pete! If you are ever tired of the same old, boring bars, you need to hit up this place on your next night out! When you walk in, you are transported to a decorated laundromat. You must then enter the "washing machine" to be transported to the second bar and large dance floor. The cocktails are all unique and delicious; the bartenders are quite skilled! It's super fun and guaranteed to be a not-so-typical night out in DTSP! read more

This place is so much fun! I love cocktail bars with themes, and this one is very well done, looking like a laundromat with a phone to pick up and dial the code to enter the hidden back room. And, unlike most bars and clubs, the drinks here are actually delicious and creative! I love their seasonal cocktails, especially the frozen ones. It can get pretty crowded (and hot!) on weekend nights, but plan for earlier in the day if you want to avoid that! read more

My husband and I drove over to St. Pete for a coffee date at Dirty Laundry, and it did not disappoint! The concept is so unique and fun! You walk in to what looks like a laundry mat - legit washers/dryers, the chairs, laundry hanging, etc. - and there is a coffee bar area where you can order coffee and food from a small breakfast/brunch menu. It is a coffee bar by day, and a speak easy style bar at night! How cool?! There are so many photo ops!! We will definitely go back at night to get the bar experience! read more

All of my friends that love a cute vibe, always recommend going to Dirty Laundry. By day, it is a coffee shop with Cuban food. But by 5pm, it turns into a speakeasy that you get to enter through one of the washing machines. Sadly, I was there at 4 and did not have time to wait for the speakeasy to open. The coffee was ok but I would really like to try the bar part when I am around later in the day! If you like taking pictures, this is the place for you! read more

Went to celebrate one of my friend's birthday and the place is definitely not your regular/normal looking bar. Entrance to the dance floor or the club itself is very cool, different. The vibe was okay, music was a mixed of too many genres and not entirely sure they go together or made too much sense but me and my group tried to make the best out of it. I have a huge complaint and it was the service, right between okay and not great while the bouncer was nice, the bartenders were full throttle rude, the girl had an attitude like she didn't care, we were being specific about which beer we wanted and she went to grab them and came with something different, we asked her again if the one we wanted wasn't available she lift her shoulders saying "no" while opening the beer and handing it to us... We didn't make a big thing out of it, still had it and paid for it but that was unnecessary. The place was somehow packed so me and 4 more friends were in a little corner towards the end of the bar (we were not blocking at all the flow on entering and exiting the bar for the staff) while every single other staff member would just walk around us, the bartender would literally YELL at us to move out of his way not once, not twice, about 5 times if not more, we were not blocking his way, we were just standing in a place to literally stand because it is a club, were do you want us to be at if it isn't standing all together in a group? Non sense, being so rude that we literally felt better just leaving the club, while you can have a great place and ambiance it just doesn't work when the staff is rude and entitled, we treat people respectfully because me and my friends have worked in the service industry and know how much it requires to perform it but last night... Unnecessary. read more
