Okay little dive bar. Just went in for a few drinks. Bartender was okay but had the personality of a door knob. She was way friendlier to the locals. We even watched a few people sit down at the bar and then leave after not being acknowledged after 5-10 minutes.
Great experience at a great biker bar. Came for the fully loaded Bloody Mary. Pay for the type of Vodka and at least a two dollar tip and you go through the line putting whatever you can fit on a skewer and your choice of 4 different types of Bloody Mary mix.The bartenders are on point and the patrons seemed to be the most down to earth people around.
Had fun. Sunday brunch food price, $5. Lots of choices. Can’t beat that. Beers and spirits are really reasonable. Crowd grows so finding a place to sit can be tough. Bring your own chairs?
If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This is basically a local dive bar in an affluent and exclusive area in Pass-a-grille, Florida. The problem with this place is that the clientele are young kids and they treat non-residents and vacationers like trash. This dive bar is filthy, the staff were extremely rude and argumentative when a customer was dissatisfied with the quality of their product made by an unexperience bar tender. To compound this nightmare when they made the wrong drink, they tried to charge us for it when they threw the drink away. If you are a local adolescent youll love this place. If you are affluent stay clear of this fifty hole in the wall!
Such a nice little bar. First time in pass-a-grill and first person we met was the sweet bartender, Biscuit. She made us a great drink and gave us some great tips.
Such a fun experience, and the area is stinking cute, how have I never been to Pass-a-Grille before?!I highly recommend the bloody Mary bar! The staff at Shads has it down to a science, barely any waiting for hoards of loyal patrons, excellent prices, no hassle gratuity and overall politeness all around! EXCELLENT EXCELLENT SERVICE!!Thank you shads for doing this right!
I was in St Pete about a week ago & this was my 1st time stopping into this fine establishment & wow was more than delighted to be there. Drink specials are definitely the best in the area, people watching is A+, plenty of bar games & an outside patio, plus just a couple steps to the beach, makes this place a winner in my book. I drive down through Tampa & St. Pete often & I will definitely stop by Shadracks everytime I can make time.
Bartender was amazing! I highly recommend this place but the locals are horrible! They don’t accept you and they blow you off. We even met some newly locals and they said the same thing. They aren’t accepted. It’s crazy!
Great place! We visit Pass-a-grille twice a year and always visit Shads a least a couple of nights for drinks and 8 ball. Took our (adult) kids this trip and they loved it!
The Bloody Mary Bar is fantastic as are the darts and pool table areas. The service on the other hand is generally mediocre A simple smile goes a long way, but for some of the staff they have yet to figure that out. Hopefully that will change.
Very cool place. Service is awesome. S little loud but it is a bar! Lol
LOVE this place!! Only in town for one week and we went back twice! Wendy is the most personable and attentive bartender in the entire St Pete Beach area! We are planning our next trip to be right in Pas-a-grille because of this bar and the atmosphere even after the bathroom door was stolen! Just kidding, but if you know you know!
Cant believe the bartender. 6pm Feb 1. This person could not be more disinterested in their job. I just saw her be chippy to the last four people that walked in. All four have left without ordering a drink. This is within 15 min of my being here. She then asked me if I wanted another drink. My drink is 3/4 filled. I actually asked her why she asked me that. Her reply was if I didnt like the place I could leave. I never write reviews. This might be the first but this is aggregious.
Local dive bar! Great place to walk off the beach and have a cold beer. Bartenders are always friendly. They have the BEST Bloody Mary Spread the first Sunday of every month. Pet friendly. All walks of life visit this bar. Bathrooms are clean and they have a spacious outside seating area. Iconic place to visit when in PAG! Just keep in mind, it is a dive bar.
Bartender could be friendlier to non locals as we are spending our hard earned cash as well as the neighborhood folks. We stop there every year on vacay and drink for 5-6 days every evening. Not overly drunk but trying to enjoy the atmosphere.
Came here for the first time after finding nowhere else to go late at night. Bar is more of a dive/party bar, with multiple pool tables, plenty of room, games, cheap drinks and overall party vibes. Although it wasnt extremely busy, it took a long time to get drinks with only one person working. Bar could use updates, the bathroom was extremely dirty, the entire bar seemed old and not maintained. I would go here for cheap drinks and entertainment, but other than that, many other choices available depending on the time of day
If you are looking for a great “dive bar” this is your place. $2 Busch Light and the bartender was great. She gave us lots of suggestions for places to go and was a lot of fun to talk to.
Great little beach bar. Cheap beer and cold AC.
Was there for the first time on Saturday evening and was very impressed. I’ve lived on the beach for two years and am just now finding out about this establishment. I’ll 100% be back soon! Vibes were very cool!
We went for the once-a-month Bloody Mary bar and it was awesome! Great drink, great garnish great atmosphere! Its a must go!
Love this Bar. All the staff are amazing. I’ve been in most with Wendy and Biscuit but regardless of time or day service and atmosphere have been wonderful. Keeps me coming back.
Best dive bar in the area. Hands down! Great service and cheap drink prices. Pool tables, Foosball, darts. You cant go wrong hanging out or meeting new friends here! The bloody Mary bar first Sunday of every month is epic!
I love this little bar. I always go in to see the beautiful Wendy, she is amazing. The service is amazing and prompt. I love going here to hang out with the locals.
Great place to Enjoy friendly people.
Great dive bar for cheap drinks and pool. Dont expect much from the Bartender. Shell get you your drink but not with much enthusiasm.
This is, by far, an amazing place. Biscuit, Wendy, Scott and Alex are family!!!! Love spending time with them and friends at a bar Ive been going to since the late 70s.
Horrible experience at Shadracks Bloody Mary Bar! Bartender with long blonde hair tried to over charge me on vodka shots and got caught! She is rude and nasty. Need to check your customer service and get out of the business! WILL NOT RETURN!
They serve Busch Light and have touch tunes.
Cheap beer, good environment, but no doors on bathroom stalls in womens bathroom? Very weird.
This is a great place to people-watch. Local bar with great drink prices and just off the beach. Just celebrated 50 years of fun for their customers. One of my favorite dive bars...and I say that with a smile.
You can’t afford to go anywhere else. Ice cold $2 Busch Lite! Great bartenders. Pool, pinball, darts, and did I say ice cold beer with great bartenders!!!We will be back. Hope to see you there.
Krishna our bartender was amazing.. Made us feel at home. Got us all the info for the area, where to go what to eat etc.. The place is where the locals go so you know its the pace to be.. Prices are fair and the atmosphere is relaxed.. Tnx u Krishna!
Great place. I find it fun to hang out with friends at a place my pops used too at my age. Its cheap, clean, and great bartenders.
The bartender was personable, the bathroom was clean and the drinks were cheap! This is a spot we will return to when we are in the area. It is a quick walk to the beach which makes it convenient. I have always loved places that are unassuming when you see them.
The absolute worst! We are locals and came in to have a drink! I have never felt so unwelcome anywhere! The bartender lady was so rude and cold! It’s very obvious this is where local people come and we were not her regulars so she couldn’t be bothered with us! My friend asked her for a drink recommendation and she couldn’t even do that! Your a bartender, right? Some customer service training needed there and just some people skills! Soooooo rude! Never coming back and will share my experience with all my local friends!
Fun little dive bar. Cheap drinks and great location, close to a great sunset view.
1st Sunday if every month they do a huge bloody Mary bar. The wife and I have been trying for ages to make it. If not for the bloody Mary bar then our favorite bartender Biscuit for sure. But somehow either if us end up working. Well this week we were in for a surprise. No work for my wife and away we went for an awesome Labor Day weekend.
Ac was good and cold. The mixed drinks were strong. The bar tender was prompt and courteous. But there wasnt any good looking girls to be hitting on.
Good little dive bar, well known stop in for biker runs. Good people, friendly bar, good drinks. Sun bloody mary bar is awesome, the kitchen sink is added on this one! Outside patio for smoking. Pool, darts, a great staff and the beach is a block away! Check it out!
No matter how far away you are, it is a great ride with wind therapy to get to. The specialty is as much of a meal that you can turn a drink into. Beautiful towns edge setting.
Well, we came here because of a friend request. Not Impressed. Band was good, but a bit too loud for such a small space. One bartender for a packed bar, not good!Did not like leaving Credit card at bar! Its the 21st century!! Update the system! Swipe it!He was writing down everything the person was drinking. How accurate can that be with a full house! Yikes! Watch your bill!
Just realized been coming here for forty years. Funny, I dont feel any older!
Went to Shadracks today after reading great reviews. Just as described. A great dive bar. Non smoking. Old school. Clean. Well be be back. Bartender who goes by nickname Biscuit is very good and personable. Great prices.
Here I am in Florida, on the coast and this bar felt like home...the Rockies.. it was like being in North Idaho or western montana..but still on the coast of Florida. Bartenders were awesome, country music playing and clean but not fancy. Also have nightly specials on beer..2 dollar coors light bottles for me!
The bartender was super friendly and knowledge of drinks. The bar itself is a super cool concept with the garage doors on the patio. Rock music, pool tables, and darts make this a really, cool, and laid back bar. The only downside is that it allows smoking inside the bar.
Love Shadracks, been going there since 1972.
This is a adorable little place with friendly bartenders where the St. Pete Beach locals gather with the added adventure of bringing their pets. Where the bar even have treats under the counter. It’s perfect if you like to be casual and carefree for cocktails or a beer
Good live entertainment, drink specials, darts, pool table & pin ball machine.They have a cool bloody mary bar every first Sunday each month.The only complaint is slow service. We always have to stand in long line for a beer and the bloody mary bar. I may have had 2 but didnt want to go back into a long line. Some people purchased 2 upfront but then the 2nd would be too water downed.Because they are a popular hot spot they really do need more staff.
Great locals spot and the Bloody Mary Bar on Sunday is very fun. I do not drink tomatoes juice so even though I skipped the Bloody Bar, everyone having the bar was enjoying themselves. I will go back.
Old Florida vibes, excellent service! No food, but they have chips and snacks.
Great place to have a cold one after a day on or near the water. full bar. no food except chips but they allow you to bring it in. reasonable prices. very friendly staff with an old school tavern ambience.
I always have a great time here. The prices are good, Marla behind the bar is a sweetheart, and regulars are usually good conversation. They have a dart board and a pool table.
How can there be no reviews for this place....its been an institution for 40 years. Lets face it, it is a local dive bar and nothing to brag about but the beer is cheap and no one will bother you. If you are looking for that place where everyone knows your name , this aint the place but if you are looking for a cheap drink on a hot day, this is a place to go.
This is a great spot to grab a beer and shoot some pool or duck out of the way of some of that rain. The bartenders are friendly and beer is inexpensive!
Love Sharacks. Been coming here for many years. Sometimes service is a bit slow, so double up on your orders if thats the case. Shirts required in the evening, but only for men. Ha ha.
Friendly crowd, awesome, considerate and hard-working bartenders. Clean, well-kept environment. Would recommend 2 anyone of all ages, but especially to 28 and older
Great place for cheap drinks and fun. Theyve got 3 pool tables, a foosball table, and 2 soft tipped dart games.
When Im in the area I always stop by for a couple beers...always friendly staff and Ive meet some great people from all places, near and far
Love this place!! The drinks are cold and the service is great. The Bloody Mary Bar on the first Sundays of each month is the best one in the St. Pete area.
Great place to have drinks. Darts, pool tables and foos ball! Friendly staff, good music and the drinks were made fast! We will be back again!
Local, low key biker bar. Everyone is very friendly and drinks are great prices. There is pool, darts, live music occasionally, and BBQ around back.
Great drinks, pool tables, electric dart boards and both indoor and outdoor seating. Always a great place to stop in.
Best dive bar around, no smoking inside. Good prices, nice jukebox, pool tables, foozball, pinball. Outside area too.
Ive been to Shadracks everytime I go to St Pete/ Pass-A-Grill, about a dozen times. Ali is Awsome!!! The best bar in Tampa Bay area, my opinion. I Love drinking beer in the daytime. It rocks, you have the gulf 50 yards to the west and the bay is 50 yards to the east. The regulars are very friendly and the beers are really cheap. GREAT VALUE. GREAT TIMES.
The best place to start or end your night. Authentic dive bar experience with just the right amount of grit and friendly staff. Bloody mary bar is truly an experienced!
Lovable unassuming dive bar close to beach. Pool, foosball, cold drinks and friendly bartenders. Outside covered patio for smoking. Great place to pass the time when youre not on the beach.
Best bar in town. Stumble over from the beach to catch some shade and a $2 Busch or Busch Lite until 7PM everyday.
I can only comment on the Bloody Mary Sundays, fantastic! Loved all the topping choices you can skewer on a stick for your personal garnish on your Bloody Mary! Its a crowded event!
Awesome location and great service
Love this bar, its like the hole.in the wall that Im used to. But domestic beers are a little higher than expected at $3.50 a bottle.
Great place. If you have time my suggestion is to stop and stay a while. Everything was good
Great bar where all the locals hang out and you are treated as such..2.00 busch light cold and goes down smooth after a walk on the beach..Brownie is an amazing bartender that makes you feel like family
Great music, awesome staff. Friendly hometown.atmosphere. Great bar specials, Awesome Bloody Mary Buffet Bar. Been visiting for years and now smoke free
They weren’t that busy right at 7, waited 20 minutes to be acknowledged then took another 30 to wait for drink to be made. We left after first drink. Would not waste my time on this place.
Wendy was a great bartender.Will definitely be back.
A must go to for the first Sunday Bloody Mary bar!!! Nothing like it!!!
Wish I could give a lower review. Wendy is the rudest bartender I’ve ever met!!!!
Clean, spacious, loads of TV,s and good food and drink specials. Unique chooses like PB&J wings, Street corn. I would say yes!
Nice local dive bar feel. Great service and conversation. Just a great place to grab a drink.
Cool dive bar in the heart of PAG
Great bar with even better drink prices. Good place for a younger crowd and only place open late in area! Scott is a great guy!
Best bar on the beach! Great prices and lots of bar games.
Cheap and stays open late. Not super inviting or friendly. We love dive bars but not this one. Probably wont return..
Had a few good beers after a round of golf. Our bartender had us in tears laughing. Pleasant experience all around.
Great local place. The staff is very friendly, drinks are cheap but good, and the clientele is local and warm!
The drinks werent that good and they dont have food but I did enjoy playing pool and darts so that was a plus🙂
The Bloody Mary Bar is the BEST Ive ever seen and had the delight to ENJOY.... the staff was so friendly and Jason who makes the pulled pork and chicken was delicious!!!!
Great bar and great bartenders! They have pool tables, darts, and a few other games. They also have cheap beers!
Great place to hang out! Family type.atmosphere. Lots of fun! Bartenders are fantastic !!!
I give it five stars with an asterisk, its a five star dive bar with great service, a relaxing vibe, great music and just a perfect place to hang out with friends and family!
Fun old bar. Been going there since the early 80s on Harleys.
Love this place! Great old school bar!

Nice bar pool tables darts football pinball and great drinks only half a block from the sand
Went for super bowl and was awesome. Ribs were being BBQd out back. Great times.
Dive bar feel.. Great super friendly staff.. Cheap drinks.. Right on pass a grille
In a time of high inflation this place is needed now more than ever with their cheap beer prices.
Just don’t. There are other options. They have a great location, but a combination of poor service and poor food should make this your last choice at Pass-A-Grille
Great place for a stiff drink or a cold beer after a day on the beach.
Amazing beach bar! Cheapest drinks on the beach and consistent prices :-) great bartenders!!!! ;-)
Hole in the wall.. But it is what it is.. Great drink prices.. Pool tables.. Pay for music.. Smokey.. Local dive.. Biker bar type place.
A nice place to get a few drinks without needing to take a second mortgage out!!!!

Owner is a slow bartender. Very casual. Even though service was slow...I still had fun.
Favorite local spot! Im a busch man and this is the place to habg and drink an ice cold one!
A nice bar so stop in off the beach. Great daily day and night prices.
This is a great ace to come hang out, play pool, throw darts, and just unwind!
Great prices, better service! We loved Scott. Will definitely be back!
Bartenders are amazing!!
