They always have the fattest Christmas trees each year, I swear! Favorite time to come here and a Moscow mule is where it's at. Get in that Christmas spirit! It's on the smaller side but it's the perfect bar to visit to share an intimate cocktail on a date! The dimmer lighting is much appreciated. There's a bath tub, a unique feature? I think every girl has taken a photo in the tub at some point of another. No judgment here! read more

I can't believe this place has been around for 7 years and I have never been here! My friends and I stopped by before a Jannus concert this past Saturday to check it out. Very intimate, dark and classy cocktail bar on Central. Almost missed it walking by. Low lit lamps line the walls and in the back there is a lounge area with a giant chandelier. The drink menu is pretty awesome but what i really loved was the "Choose Your Own Adventure Option" to trust the bartender with your drink! Our bartender was freaking awesome, giving us lots of info and suggestions. He was passionate about his creations and making our visit memorable. Mission accomplished. The drink menu is divided into the type of drinker that you are: think Light, Sweet or Heavy Handed. They also offer an interesting mix of Beertails, wine or just plain beer. Fantastic ambiance and skills here. I will be back...very very soon!! read more

Cool bar in downtown St. Petersburg. Tucked away with a small storefront, its a very large long bar, with amazing craft cocktails, wine and beer. There was a jazz trio playing even on a Wednesday night. They have specials on Wednesdays, $5 glasses of wine and daily whiskey specials. Stylish and upscale bar, definitely try the craft cocktails. Friendly staff. There's parking available on the street or there are several pay garages within a couple blocks. read more

Wonderful spot on Central Avenue with an incredible vibe and craft cocktails. Each drink is thoughtfully mixed served to perfection. We had the Ring of Fire and Espresso Martinis. Both were fantastic, but the Ring of Fire has a spicy kick! read more

I wanted come here so badly and glad we did! We were already full from dinner so only had cocktails. Loved that they decorated for Chinese New Year. We ordered Moscow Mules and they were pretty awesome. I have to say though, I was more impressed by the decor than the drinks themselves. Definitely want to try again. Besides, it's the Year of the Dog and the Year of Oxen signs were confusing, even though I fully get that Oxen is their thing. read more

Innovative cocktails with a fantastic bartending staff! I've been here twice and it is a St. Pete must-see! I like unique cocktails and Mandarin Hide does not disappoint. The Green Rabbit, Ultra Violet, Ants Go Marching In and Choose Your Own Adventure (which ended up being a Cold Brew Coffee Cocktail with orange bitters and Bulleit Rye) were phenomenal. They also have a habanero-ginger simple syrup you can add to your cocktails for an extra kick. I highly suggest doing this. We added it to the Ultra Violet and it just made it the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. read more

I've never been surrounded by so many ugly mean and disgraceful bartenders as I have in this bar. You can't dance, even if it's a simple sway without getting a security light flashed on you and screamed at for dancing. We were refused drinks when one person in our group started dropping it low and yelled at for getting too "wild". I've never experienced a bar so trashy and unprofessional serving customers drinks and then freaking tf out that someone might start feeling the drinks. I'm a very known bartender in another state and this would be completely unacceptable. DO NOT come to this bar they deserve zero business from anyone expecting to have a fun cocktail and mingle with friends. STAY AWAY! read more

The atmosphere at this cocktail bar is unbeatable! The dim lighting, candles, great music and extensive spirit selection is what makes it great. You must try the espresso martini, it's one of their most popular cocktails! read more

After a Yelp event, hubster and I didn't want to retire yet, so we hit this place up via a recommendation of my sister-in-law. It took us a minute to find it...no wonder it has "Hide" in the name. I looked at the fancy menu and chose a White Geese. I chose a Dandy Cocktail for my husband. It took forever, but the drinks were amazing! I'm sure we got another round, but I don't have a photo in my gallery and half the night was a blur. I would...WILL definitely return WHEN I'm in town!! read more

Do not go here!!! My friends and I went here for first Friday and the bouncer Cody seemed like he was on drugs and he was very agressive. He was escorting a girl out of the bar and my friend was standing near the exit and he pushed my friend against the wall to move her out of his way and she hit her head so hard she most likely has a concussion. We then left the bar and when we were outside the bouncer ran up on me slapped me in the face and threw my phone on the ground. There were multiple witnesses and we immediately went to the police and there is currently an active police report against this man and I will be pressing charges for him assaulting me. The police also spoke with him after the assault and told me he seemed like he may have been "on something". DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS UNTIL THEY FIRE THIS ABUSER THEY HIRE TO "PROTECT" PEOPLE!!!! I was not even inside the bar when he ran up on me and assaulted me. Disgusting. I have attached a picture I took of his face read more

Sorta hidden with no large sign out front on central ave in dtsp (just before Caddy's), this place is awesome. They have a killer drink list with lots of diversity and options. They've got a $7 "Classic Hour" which is nice because the only downfall of this joint is that their drink prices range from $9-$12. Regardless of the price their drinks are definitely of the "craft" variety and absolutely delicious! Cool copper topped bar as well! Suggestions: Blind Pig, Nolets Nectar (pictured) and the Espresso Martini. read more

Loved the cocktails, the ambiance and staff!

For delicious hand-crafted cocktails, this is THE place to go in St. Petersburg. Located on a happening section of Central in St. Petersburg, I think of the Hide as a tiny oasis away from the madness. If you luck out and get there at a time when the bar is not busy, it's a great experience to sit at the bar and chat with the bartender about cocktails. They obviously love where they work, and what they do, and I have received great cocktail suggestions when I've told them what liquor I'm in the mood for. They also serve a delicious frozen treat to snack on - grapes soaked in flavored vodka - yum! On a recent Saturday night, the volume was loud, the place was packed, and yet, it was still a fun, cool place to hang out. Fortunately they have a detailed cocktail menu, so even without suggestions, there were plenty of unique cocktail options. Keep in mind that specialty cocktails take time to make, so sit back, relax and enjoy the atmosphere - your drink will definitely be worth the wait. read more

A rose amongst the thrones! This is a total Gem in the middle of DTSP. The vibe you get is chill, hip, trendy! The drinks are average but you are getting more than you paid for when you taste it! The staff is so very friendly and approachable. They might have a full bar of people but are still willing to tell you exactly how they're making your drink. They make you feel important and it's a nice feeling. There is a drink du jour (drink of choice) and it's always fun to let them just have their way with a drink and I have yet to be disappointed. Thank you Mandarin Hide for existing! read more

I am in love with this place already. The ambiance is awesome, it's a long narrow bar with a nice bench along one side and a long bar along the other. The lighting is wonderful and the décor is very inviting with a large steer adorning the bar, TVs with photos cycling of days past, and beautiful metal tiling along the ceiling. Another reason to love mandarin hide are the MOSCOW MULES! Served in copper-lined cups they were perfectly made. We had gone for a festival so there was a band playing in the front and the acoustics were not bad either. read more

Great craft cocktails. They take pride in their drinks here in the appearance and taste. The noise level here is usually pretty loud but you can usually find seating on the back bench if not right by the bar. My favorite cocktail bar if I don't go to Intermezzo in the Tampa Bay Area. They have a cool smoking process for Old Fashioned drinks. I like the Goose drink as I am a vodka person. They offer good service and attentiveness as you aren't left waiting long at all and they have plenty of bartenders along their very long bar. Vibe is a bit masculine here which can be a bit off putting but they do make great drinks. I have rarely seen any college kids here as it does not attract that type of crowd. It's very dark and casual. read more

Date:6-9-18 Time: 1615 Brief: If you want to try something new and creative, this spot will not disappoint. I have been to this spot on many occasions and I have yet to have a drink that I did not enjoy...and that's a understatement. I am a sucker for a expertly crafted cocktail and the concoctions that are served here are like no other. This visit I was treated to a King Carona $10. A tequila and grapefruit based drink with a huge smoke bubble that topped it...yes...a smoke bubble, please check the picture. The bubble lasted just long enough for me to snap a picture and then poof!....it popped and melded into my drink to make a smokey, midly sweet and citrusy brew...it was delightful. There's no wonder why Niall (best bartender in the area) has been nominated and won so many awards. Next time you walking Central in St Petes...stop by and try something new. read more

This is a cool atmosphere and the drinks were excellent. Our small group had a great time

What a nice bar! Very decent, it feels classy, warm, perfect decoration and lights. Lots of space and it was packed on Friday! Problem with that is people were screaming to hear each other. Luckily we found their small back patio that had its own bar! It was decorated as well with lights and lots of seating. We really enjoyed it there and the staff was friendly and on point. Only minor is that there are only 2 bathrooms for the whole place. But positive about that is that they are gender neutral, which I don't care for but is these days important for a lot of others. Would definitely come back when I'm back in town! read more

Super moody, dark place reminiscent of a speakeasy during prohibition. You can ask for a drink menu, or they offer their main specials framed on the wall behind the bar. We looked at a drink menu, but it was so dark that we had to read by the glow of our phone, so I eventually just looked up their menu online. I asked about the $6 locally-sourced cocktail special their website advertised for Saturdays, but the bartender was confused and said they don't offer that. I ordered a Kentucky Mule instead, which was good, but not quite $9 good. Overall, really neat atmosphere but the experience and drinks were just above average. read more

We tried this place based on some recommendations of others. I think they have a decent cocktail program, but the night we came they were definitely understaffed. I feel that this is a place where you can give the bartender some leeway and they will come up with something great for you by asking you the right questions. I don't think the bartender we had was that experienced yet. I liked the atmosphere there and they were all quite friendly. I'll definitely go back but I would probably avoid the weekend if you don't like crowds. read more

Can't say I tried anything because it was so crowded. I needed to leave just to breath and no one but servers were wearing a mask.

Always a favorite stop when we are in St Pete, have been coming for years- before 5 that is. Nothing against the spot, just me against crowds! I love sitting at the bar and seeing the cocktails being made. The creativity of these bartenders opened up my eyes to Bourbons and Whiskeys! What used to be the 'Soup du Jour' is now the 'Create your own adventure'. Do it!! They will ask your liquor preference, if you want something heavier handed or light and then make an incredible drink. As noted, through this they opened my eyes to the tastiness of Bourbons and Whiskeys. On our stop in this weekend it was so hot I asked for gin and something light and I got exactly that - I could taste the gin still which is important, but complimented with delicious lemon. Come in, sit at the bar, watch these bartenders work their magic and then taste and enjoy it! read more

I always love this place....especially on Sundays with $15 bottomless mimosas. Their selection of flavors are so unique ranging from my favorite, lavendar, to rose petal, strawberry, pomegranate and so on. The bartenders are phenomenal and keep the champagne flute filled. Today we stopped by for bottomless mimosas on New Year's Day. They had a wonderful snacking station with bagels, mini quiche and flavored cheeses. All of it yummy and free. read more
