“ Best amaretto sour I’ve ever had in my life! Espresso martinis are amazing as well. Good vibe. Ben is an amazing bartender ”
“ Almost got in a fight with some chicken legged boys from NY but the staff and libations here were both proper and brilliant. Seating was super comfortable, lighting reminds me of Seattle (Ballard) haunts; which I like. Its seating was both minimal and adequate - keeps the focus on your company and cocktail. Strong but small selection of proper Mezcal -staff are slightly cocky but I prefer knowledge over stupidity so it’s a win in the end. Thanks for the cocktails, ”
“ The legendary tub photo at Mandarin Hide is a MUST! The drinks are worth it ! The crowd at this bar in st Pete is always a good time ! I recently was a photobooth operator for a private event and the hospitality of the crew was astounding! They made sure every guest drink was perfectly crafted and made sure every one’s request was accommodated! I am highly recommending this spot for all my clients private parties! ”
“ Me and my husband love coming here. It's always a good vibrant vibe, and it's fun. The bartenders know their craft and drinks are on point. The decor is rustic and really cool. Went for New Year's and then went back a couple weeks ago for St. Patty's. If you are a bourbon/whiskey drinker, this is a good bar to visit. ”
“ Best post hurricane cocktails. It’s an old school place, knowledgeable bar tenders who can make any drink. My wife ordered a bartenders choice and got a banger of a drink. I channeled fall and ordered the Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini, in their finest available drink ware. ”
“ Great drinks!!!! Personalized drinks to the tee!!!! The bartender Seth took our request and took it to a new level.. exactly what we wanted but couldn’t explain it!! He nailed it!! Off the menu drinks we loved. Went to work like an artist! ”
“ Mandarin Hide is definitely one of my favorite spots in downtown St. Pete—a must-stop every time! The vibe is unmatched, giving that perfect mix of intimate lounge meets lively energy. (It gives the feeling of a bar that, if Chuck Bass—yes, from Gossip Girl—owned, it would be a speakeasy with a private adult club in the back lol) The bartenders are top-tier—attentive, fun, and always on point with recommendations. I got their espresso martini with tequila (normally comes in a not cute glass, I just request mine in a martini glass, and problem solved). Best vibe overall, hands down. ”
“ What a cool place, transformed for the holidays and New Years Eve! Great vibe as an upscale bar. ”
