The total feeling of relaxation helped by the friendly and attentive staff makes Bongos the best place to eat on the beach! Sitting with your toes in the sand while eating lunch is pure luxury ! The live music was amazing giving the place the perfect ambiance ! Go on the recommendations of the staff they know what they are... More

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.
