    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.]

    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.

    Shea and anessa! Best bartenders in town! Mermaids is the spot! Customer service, approachable, and relatable!

    If you're hungry, I'd definitely go with the Christmas dip because who doesn't love sausage dip and the Mango Chili wings.

    We just happened to stumble upon this hidden gem while on a wait list for a nearby restaurant…read more The service was excellent! The food was absolutely delicious!!! I'm now craving those royal reds!!! The oyster sampler was nice. I personally did not care for the bbq ones. However, loved the chargrilled and artichoke oysters! Fun atmosphere with great music! I will definitely return next trip

    I've been going to Adventures for years every time I am at the Coast to watch football, drink beer…read moreand eat oysters. Last night I was on the Coast for the Candlebox concert at 8. We arrived at 6:30. Got seated really quick and ordered drinks and the Chargrill Trio. Oysters came out in about 10 minutes. They were great. As soon as they hit the table the lady I was with ordered chicken wings and I ordered an oyster Poboy. Her wings came out in about 10 minutes. After 45 minutes I still had not received my Poboy. I told the waitress to take it off the bill cause we had to go to the Hard Rock and my companion was done. She said they don't do that and told me she would check with Manager. She came back and told me they were almost done with it and would box it up to go. I told her I didn't want it because it would be sitting in my vehicle until probably 2 in the morning. She told me she wasn't taking it off the bill and got smart with me. I proceeded to tell her to just go get the F-ing bill. Next thing I know security is over at my table. He told me they gave my Poboy to someone else and was making me another. I told him I didn't want it. Anyway, I left Poboy on the table and paid my $90 bill. I can promise you I will never be back and will not be recommending this place to anyone else ever again. They really should fire our waitress! She has a smart mouth, never came to table to ask if we wanted refills nor did she care that I didn't get to eat with my friend and lied about why I had not gotten my Poboy yet. You can check my reviews everywhere I travel around the country and see I am not the one to complain unless service is horrible.
