This place is amazing and the people are great! Highly recommend if you are looking for fun night out!

This is a super cool bar! Surprisingly Biloxi doesn't have a lot of fun places to go at night, everything is geared around the casinos. I like the ambience here and also the drinks were made just the way I like it, strong! And the bartenders are wonderful! read more

The entire experience was great. I sidled in for a beer during Monday Night Football and was easanlty) pleasantly surprised by the draft list and then the friendly staff. I travel a lot and know good bars and service when I see them. This home - feeling bar nailed it. Will definitely return! Thanks Mermaids! read more

The Mermaid Dive Bar - Dive Bars Near Me - Biloxi, Mississippi

Pretty sure I entered another dimension walking into this place. Be prepared to get patted down before you go in. Haven't had that happen in a long time. There was a cover, no big deal. The DJ was mediocre. The bartender was attentive even when it was busy. There was a girl sitting on the bar in a mermaid costume (or was it a costume?). I'm pretty sure Ricken from Severence was in there. Tried to get a pic but something/someone stepped in every time. Very eclectic group of folks. Great for people watching. Supposedly have food but I was not gonna test my system. read more

Wanted to get out of the casino in Biloxi so tried this spot and had a great time with the bartender Katie she was very sweet and attentive will definitely be going back on my next visit. read more

All of the above! Jennifer, Katie and Rita are amazing Super friendly, lively, and sexy! The pad thai is AMAZING and authentic. And absolute must when you're in the area, and they're open late night. read more

Came out Mardi Gras weekend and it was slow starting but picked up later (duh). The DJ was all over the place but maybe he was trying to get a vibe from the crowd while it was slow. They have a girl wearing a mermaid bottom half (with a shirt on--no seashell bra) sitting on the bar all night. The bartender was very attentive. Draft beers were all down though. Bad luck for Mardi Gras weekend I guess. They have TWO pool tables (coin operated) and plenty of cues to choose from. As far as "dive" bar, I'd question it. For me a "dive" bar is dark af and someone's licking beer off the floor. I haven't seen anything close to that tonight. Oh and if you're not ok with a full pat-down entering a bar, this is probably not for you (but I'm finding most downtown Biloxi bars do that on the weekends). It's smoke-friendly too. Just not pot... yet. Fingers crossed. Mississippi, looking at you. read more

I probably should have just turned around and left when I was the only one in here but I was looking for dinner and didn't want to drive over to Ocean Springs again. Biloxi - at least the parts I saw - is quite closed down for COVID or it's mostly the casinos. Yep, it's a dive bar but they have a food menu. On this Wednesday night, the menu was quite limited. I chose the potstickers and a beer. It was made fresh and the beer was cold, so I can't really complain too much. A decent portion and they were okay. I opted not to stick around for the comedian. Sorry, dude. I hope you had a good set! [Review 14169 overall, 1491 of 2020, number 60 in Mississippi.] read more

Very rarely do I give a 5 stars, but tonight I feel it's warranted. We ordered some to-go food tonight from here and man was it good! The wings were fried hard the way I like them, and the pad Thai was different but definitely not bad! Our food wasn't ready when we arrived so we sat at the bar for a quick drink. Jenn was fabulous, and Farabee was amazing as well. This was the best hospitality we've had since moving to Biloxi. read more

This place is a legit local dive bar, not a tourist trap. It's a no frills kinda place that is pretty much exactly what you'd want and expect in a locals bar in a beach town. They have a great selection of beer and the food is much better than you'd expect. The gumbo was excellent and you have to like any place that includes fried okra on top of their gumbo. The shrimp po boy was tasty as well and came with a LARGE portion of fried okra as a side. I'm a big fried okra fan but even I couldn't finish all of my meal. This place is worth checking out if you're in the area and want to try a legit local place. read more

Not sure why this place is rated so high. We waited at the bar for a while but apparently the bartender was so involved with a personal conversation we couldn't be served. Also if you don't mind a poorly ventilated bar with lots of smokers then this might be your place. Lots of smoke and poor service! read more

After a late night at the bars, if you want an interesting experience with the boys, this is the place to be.

The buffalo sauce was different and yummy, service good & expedient, caught happy hour prices on accident. I'd return!

Shea and anessa! Best bartenders in town! Mermaids is the spot! Customer service, approachable, and relatable! Coming from all different parts of the states, we were welcomed and greeted with respect. Thank you! read more

Jehn is the best bartender in the world!!!! Best service 100 out of ten starts!!! Best bar in Biloxi don't go anywhere else!

This is one of the best dive bars that I have ever been to. One of my buddies and I popped in here during a work stint. Jehn was wonderful! Super personable! Would recommend this bar to anyone 8 days out of the week!! read more

The drinks were really good. I got what the bartender, Allie, recommended and had 3 because it was so good. My husband got the buffalo wings and said they were legit the best he's ever had. I got the chicken fried rice and it was really good too. Definitely stop in and spend some time there. It's got a friendly vibe. Oh and say hi to the ghost for use too read more

Another "Yelp find" gem. We wanted a laid-back dinner with work associates and traveled off the strip. The Mermaid Dive bar did not disappoint. From the moment you walk in, dimly lit with jellyfish chandeliers, 80's & 90's classics blaring out and all the SEC games for us to watch. Our waitress kept the ice cold and made some great recommendations for dinner. We had the: Gumbo Christmas dip Brisket nachos And several poboys. Of note the meats are smoked on Green Eggs and the gumbo was fresh with a hint of crunch from fried okra. We met Farabee and tried her Farabee shot ... the house speciality; very good. Do yourself a favor and check her Mermaid Bar out when in Biloxi! We didn't make it past 11pm but they are "open crazy late" until 4am. read more

For a mermaid bar, there wasn't any mermaids. No swimming pools with ladies kicking around. But the food was good, the drinks were cheap, and the staff was friendly. It's a smoking friendly bar, which unfortunately doesn't air out much, so there's an air of smoke to the place. But all in all, I'd go back. I guess I was just spoiled by the mermaid bar in Great Falls, Montana for my expectations. read more

Once again this place exceeds expectations. Coming from NOLA we appreciate a good dive bar. This joint is nicer than a dive bar. Pop in before or after a casino trip. Awesome staff that I got to meet. read more

Stopped in for a drink and had a great time. Fun place that made us feel right at home. A must stop!

Tonight was my first night there and it was awesome hade a great time customers service was 10/10

It is as claimed. Dive bar, hard core rap, dim lights, strong drinks, all the things dive, but not faux dive. Legit with great bartenders. We did not eat but it's still on the to do list. read more

False advertising, that is not a real mermaid sitting on the bar. :-) It is a nice after hours club. read more

My boyfriend and I loved this place! Off the beaten path, filled with locals and a kitschy mermaid theme, what more could you want out of your dive? Oh, great food you say? A delicious Bloody Mary? They've got it! If you're hungry, I'd definitely go with the Christmas dip because who doesn't love sausage dip and the Mango Chili wings. They're hot, they're sweet, they're sticky...and I'm not just talking about us walking in from the humid Biloxi weather. But I am a little. Whatever, get the wings if you're hungry after a few beverages. To drink I'd go with the Bloody Mary followed by enough domestics to get your buzz on - no craft beer here. So sit back, enjoy your XX and your nibbles and take in the glorious scenery while listening to the most random mix of music available. Did I mention the bartenders are dressed like mermaids? read more

Dive bar vibes. But it's a great place. It looked like they served food as well. We got the classic mermaid water drink. It is super sweet for those who like sweet drinks. They are have a mermaid who comes out. They had a DJ i believe- we left before that but the jukebox was loud so it was nice! Great place. read more

So the food was great, but it's not the place for a first date if you are trying to impress your date. The atmosphere is not so appealing but the nachos were so good. Went on a Saturday and the crowd was nonexistent and the service was great. Ordered nachos and shrimp and grits to share with my date and discovered the shrimp and grits had bacon in them and it wasn't listed on the menu. I don't eat pork, but if you do this dish was good. If I am in the area and want nachos, I would definitely go back. If you aren't looking for any fancy but fair prices, good service and average food, then I would say try it. read more

Amazing experience... very dive bar and that was the best part. Played pool and had very stiff cheap drinks that kept us going! read more

Wife and I visited during mardi gras parade. Crowded but Shady was awesome and attentive...good drinks

Awesome food and crazy, cool atmosphere! The service was great, prices were reasonable and the owner even came over to check on us (I personally love meeting and chatting with the owners, such a personal touch). My mom, who is difficult to please, was impressed with the blackened shrimp tacos, which comes with homemade tortilla chips. I had the chicken salad plate, which was also excellent, but the surprise highlight was the homemade hummus and toasted pita wedges. We will definitely be back. Do not miss this gem! Highly, highly recommended! read more

I'm sitting here now on a Friday night after sitting in my hotel room for a bit and realizing I needed to get out and enjoy some of the local spots. And I really wanted a beer. Entering the place, it wasn't packed at all. Seats were almost all full, but more than enough standing room to squeeze in another 50 people. A live two-man band was rocking a set and everyone appeared to be having a good time. But it looks like I missed the show because the band was finished only about 5 minutes later, and the DJ began playing classic rock. A few people left once the band finished, but most of the patrons stuck around. People continued flowing in and out throughout my stay. The crowd here appeared to be mostly locals. Was hoping this would be more of a singles bar but it really didn't seem like it was. Bartenders here are pretty chill. Not loud and flamboyant or anything... Just here to serve libations and chit-chat with customers (again, mostly locals/regulars). I had myself a draft Yuengling to start because, well, it's Yuengling. Next up was a Louisiana ale that I didn't catch the name of, but it was good. The art definitely has an "Under the Sea" vibe going on, which adds some whimsy to the place. There are a few bar games here, including a pool table, electronic (plastic tip) dart machine, and Pac-Man. And a digital jukebox in the corner, probably for the non-weekend nights. There are also some TVs showing sports. Smoking is permitted inside, so if you're not a fan of smoke this probably won't be the place for you. But the music is good to hang out to and chat it up with friends. read more

I don't normally leave 5 star reviews for places anymore. It's not that I don't like most places I eat, it's just that nothing really jumps out. Im not sure what it was about this place. Maybe the cute bartenders, maybe the smooth rum drinks (I had the mermaid water) or perhaps the dope food (really good patty melt Nick, but a little less salt and it would have been perfect). Maybe it was just the perfect storm at the right time, right place. Either way, I'm glad I wondered in. Till next time keep on keeping on Mermaid Bar. #mermaidsarereal read more
