Place looked classy from outside so we decided to check it out. We got confronted by doorman who was seating on chair inside and jumped up to us and was clearly unhappy and unwelcoming. I will call him Unhinged disrespectful door man. He may earn owners not just unhappy lost customers but a lawsuit in the future. There are lots of cool places with friendly respectful and fun people around the corner so Saigon Blonde is off our list. read more

Probably my favorite bar in St. Pete. They always have great music (typically a house DJ) as well as a great selection of fairly priced tiki drinks. Ive enjoyed every cocktail I've had here. A great stop downtown! read more

Great place to stop in for a drink to sit and actually enjoy it. There's a very small DJ area on the second floor, but personally, I prefer the front bar or back bar to sit and enjoy the drink. The bartenders are cool and I haven't had a bad experience there yet. read more

David was an awesome bartender. This place is worth the stop! If you want a cocktail, come here. They are not in the business of mediocre. read more

Had a family reunion this past weekend. My brother was asking for "craft cocktails" or "tiki bar" experience....So fortunate that right here in St. Petersburg, Saigon Blonde filled both requests. We arrived early on Sunday afternoon, greeted by our bartender; Aaron, who for sure knew his business of crafting a cocktail. Over the next 3 hours, my brother and I sampled the menu. My brother was in a gin mood, vodka and rum for me. Impressive product to say the least, well worth the visit. I will be returning soon read more

Popped in for a drink at Saigon and it was great! Our bartender was so friendly and cool. Such a nice selection of cocktails, they even had a CBD cocktail menu. Such a cool place to come and grab a drink with friends. Love the dark tiki vibe they have it just adds to the overall experience. read more

Great vibes! The Thursday night DJ was playing some late 90s / early 2000s style trance/house/progressive BANGERS yesterday. My first time there and that DJ sold me on this spot. I loved how the place is decorated as well -- great ambiance. Plenty of space to dance, too. Cannot comment on the food yet, but plan try it out one of these dancing nights! read more

We stopped in to Saigon Blonde on a Tuesday evening. The ambiance in here is a showstopper. A trendy take on tiki bar, its dark fun decor includes an alligator hanging from the ceiling. It wasn't crowded, and the bartender quickly helped us. On Tuesday, they have $6 Mai Tais for happy hour. We ordered 1 Mai tai, 2 Russian sombreros, and 1 dragon lady. Our cocktails were all delicious! read more

Saigon Blonde - My friend Delaney and I at Saigon Blonde - Tiki Bars Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Fun going out spot, gets really busy at night. They have a large cocktail selection, everything I've tried has been great!

SO MANY DECORATIONS! We spent so much time just sipping on our drinks and enjoying all the decorations. Definitely feels super quirky, and the bartenders are quite knowledgeable about all the signature cocktails they offer. read more

this bar is an EXPERIENCE you'll want to take your out-of-town friends to. Everything - the decor, drinks, lighting, music - is beautifully crafted and has a story behind it. The bartenders were very friendly and quick despite how busy it was. I got the Pineapple Express which had so much flavor. Truly a gem in St. Pete! read more

Jose has been the best bartender I've ever come across. The way he accommodated my friends and I was so sweet, while still holding the responsibilities of the company. If you come in here, please request Jose, he's the best. read more

I have been here a few times and all the drinks I have tried have been really good. The ambiance is a bit kitschy but it works. Most of the time the staff is attentive and friendly unless it is a really busy night. read more

I love tiki bars. So far this is my first one in Southern Florida. Super fun interior and delicious drinks. A little bit pricey *but worth it* and the service was great. The bartenders are very knowledgeable. read more

Saigon Blonde - Menu - Tiki Bars Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Very cool spot. Moodily lit, outstanding cocktail list, very with-it bar service. Interesting craft drink choices, I was happy with everything I had. The decor is interesting & eclectic enough to keep your attention. It's a small enough space to not be overwhelming. Lots of less-common liquors used on their menu, as well as some house-infused items. One of those great little places that I almost don't want to share, but also want to thrive (so I'm sharing). We stopped in late, a bit drunk, but wanting good quality-- they took very good care of us. This is on my short list of places to return to in St Pete. Lots of parking in the area. Note there's no kitchen here but you're welcome to bring in your carryout. There's a decent pizza joint one block away (among many choices in this district of St Pete). Highly Recommended. read more

Beautiful bar, with the most beautiful bartender, Lemon. She is so sweet and hospitable. She made us feel right at home. Decor is beautiful, had a NY and Miami feel. Once you step inside the establishment, your senses are transported into another world. Everything is so beautiful to look at, the decor is truly memorable. Bathrooms were clean and spacious! Lemon made amazing drinks, and her friendly service was unforgettable. Will be back !!! read more

My favorite bar in downtown St Pete! The ambiance and decor are lovely, however their cocktails are amazingly well crafted with Depart at Dawn being my go-to drink each time I'm there. What I love is that the music is more like background and Ibiza lounge type without being overly loud. You can actually talk to each other without screaming or saying "say that again??". The seating arrangement is cool with your bar seating, some high top tables along with some rattan patio chairs and couches. All in all, a fantastic bar to chill and meetup. read more

This place was poppin on Saturday night. The vibes were fun and the music was even better! The drinks I had weren't that strong but our group was able to get a section to ourselves and we had a great time. read more

The good: Great decor and aesthetics Service is always top notch, especially the door staff Consistently book the best DJ's around The bad: There's no dance floor despite promoting itself as a dance spot The upstairs is awful, period Overall, it's hit or miss depending on how crowded it is. read more

Great drinks. I was disappointed on a Saturday night that drinks were not served in tiki glasses. Drinks ate a bit pricey, but you're in downtown St. Pete's. read more

Great hip bar and we were lucky that we got to sit down and talked for a little bit before they turned the music way up at 10pm when conversation became impossible. Drinks were good bht weak, had 2 mixed drinks (drinks are around $14+tip) within an hour which generally would give me a buzz but I was dead sober walking out. Otherwise, cool vibe and music. read more

It was a 5 star bar pre pandemic and it's a 5 star bar still. They do not rely on the badass aesthetic. The service is phenomenal, the menu is cool, the drinks are deeeeelish, and the prices are so fair! I love that they are always so good about checking IDs and keeping the space clean. This includes the restrooms. You order at the bar but when we visited most recently it was a little slower so the bartender walked our drinks out to us when they were made. Don't miss their new tiki Tuesday: $6 mai tais all day/night. read more

Awesome spot in the heart of DTSP, with outstanding cocktails! Ordered the Mucho Gusto (which was a tasty smoky mezcal cocktail) and then the Zen Garden (which was topped with the most delicious dried sweet mangoes flavored with Togarachi spice). Lucian and Jakob (Kuba) were attentive and so much fun! Great overall vibe and decor in this place too. This is my new go-to spot for sure! read more

Saigon Blonde - Upstairs by the DJ booth;) - Tiki Bars Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Great little cocktail in the middle of downtown Saint Pete. Saigon Blonde is certainly in the category of a tiki bar, fun vibes and eclectic decor. They even have an fake alligator from the ceiling. As far as I saw this is cocktails only, no food, but you can drink your calories here. They've had drink specials on every visit, like Tiki Tuesday's, where a cocktail was $6. Not a bad deal, take that inflation! read more

VERY IMPORTANT- This place has a completely different vibe here on Friday and Saturday nights. During the day or during weekdays, it's a chill lounge with nice art and pretty drinks. It'll be good for conversation or a date or something along those lines. On weekends, they will open up the back bar and the upstairs area. They'll also turn the music WAY up and they'll have a DJ playing. It'll be hard to get a drink and move around because this place is rather popular on weekends. Overall I'd say this place would be super fantastic if it didn't take so long to get a drink on either weekdays OR weekends... and they're really expensive drinks like "oh my god $10-17 drinks?!". You can finish these drinks in like 5-7 sips and then you gotta get slow drink service again... If it weren't for those 2 things, I'd say this is one of the best places to check out. read more

What a great spot downtown! The bartender made great recommendations and told us his favorites. We went with Mucho Gusto and Dragon Lady. We were on the fence about Zen Garden, but was steered away because it is really sweet. If you do not like Mezcal, do not get the Mucho Gusto. It has the smoky flavor of Mezcal! read more

Used to come here on Friday nights cuz they had a good friendly set up and good music. They started chaging a cover of $10. On top of that, $15 for a small and week vodka and sprite? Our group who often went there left. We'll never go back. We used to buy drinks for tourists talking about how amazing this bar was. Now, it's just another garbage bar. To whomever decided to put a cover charge, good luck. It takes 20 mins to get the worst and most expensive drinks in the strip? You will continue to lose clients. Your place is too tiny to charge a $10 cover. read more

This was another stop on our tiki tour of St. Pete. While the decor was great, the vibe was just not quite what we were going for. It has more of a night club feel and my friends and I didn't enjoy it as much as another location we visited. The drinks were good, and served in different drinking vessels. I would say that if you are looking for a unique place on a bar hop or pub crawl in downtown St. Pete, that this would be a fun location to swing into and have a drink. read more

Came here for the first time the other night during Thanksgiving Eve. It's a fun spot with good music and a cool crowd. It has an Asian tiki theme, including some interested accents around the hall. Not too crowded compared to other places in DTSP, but the dance floor should be a little bigger. Still a cool place to chill for a bit on the bar crawl. I liked my cocktails. Noticed a good amount of Japanese whiskey options on the menu. I would return. read more

Love, Love this funky bar. It's nice to have something different in St. Pete. It's unique which fun cocktails. So the decor has a post Vietnam war vibe. Items from the 70s , tiki items, very funk eclectic, probably what I'm drawn to . The bartenders are nice, friendly , and very knowledgeable. Last weekend we sat at the back bar and Patrick and ? ( Forgot his name ) served us. They made us amazing drinks. Not only are they delicious, they are pretty...very visually pleasing :-) I had the hemp day, it has a very unique flavor that I enjoy. The drinks are pricy and my pocket book can only handle a couple but it's worth it. This is definitely my new spot to stop in and enjoy a couple beverages with friends. read more
