I have been visiting the area a couple times a year and Bongo's is home base for me. The new upper deck and Baby Bongo's bar is just great. Always trying to make things better and always do! Outstanding staff, friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and drinks for every palate. Nice beer selection and tons of specialty drinks.... More

We loved the fun, casual atmosphere of Bongos! You are sitting at tables in the sand, with tiki torches everywhere...such a tropical feel! Casual food, great music, nice fire pit, and the best frozen drinks I have had in a long time! Highly recommend the frozen chocolate banana drink! Delicious! Food was good, but not great, but the atmosphere was... More

That Suzy behind the bar, is a cocktail master, she can make the best rum runner, It is delicious! A refreshing, flavorful, delight. In addition there is great live music, and good food, all while sitting on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico. A must stop, here in St. Pete's Beach.

Our friends brought us to Bongos for a night out. It was so relaxing sitting outside with the sand between your toes being waited on. The food was very good and the prices very reasonable. Their drinks were also good.

Food and drinks are good. Staff is nice. Great location right on the beach with your feet in the sand. They also have a fire pit area with couches. The live music added to the fun.
