Bauser’s

Came in on a Friday night after wandering around Downtown Dunedin with my wife and my old buddy Tom.
Tom claims he has a signature drink at Bowser’s. We walked in, he held up three fingers and three gin drinks showed up at our table. We have officially named those drinks” Tom Kozliks «.
Needless to say anytime we come to Dunedin will be ending our evening of debauchery and drinking at Bowser’s !

No more smoking no more trivia night watered down drinks slutty staff slept with my roommate after just meeting him once they have there regulars and treat everyone else like shit bend the rules for some tabs can be open without cc for regulars but rude if u just walk to set beer down before you pay it used to be my hangout shouldnt of canned smoking u lost 6 friends and myself kellys here i come

Bausers is the best dive bar around. They are my five star standard for local dive bars. They fill my two needs and more so.
1. Inexpensive beverages
2. Never have to wait for your first drink or your next.
The inside is not great but that’s what makes it a dive bar. It also is not dirty of gross by any means. They stopped allowing smoking inside but Smokers are still welcome you just have to go to the patio.
They have a full bar and can make anything you want. The beer prices are the best around at 2.50 domestic bottles. Also inexpensive high end drinks. The beer selection might be limited for some but I don’t go to a dive bar to try new brews we have the beermuda triangle for that.
They have entertainment almost every night from karaōke to live bands and the live bands are what you want to drink to from blues to rock.
The staff and clientele are wonderful. Such friendly folk there it’s like the cheers of Dunedin but divier!

I like this place ! Good prices on drinks no smoking inside is awesome ! Juke box and pool table. We will be back.

Bauser the dog is long gone, but his legacy lives on. He’s on the sign, the walls and behind the bar, immortalized by hand-​painted murals of his awesomeness sitting behind a cold, sudsy beer with a cigar in his mouth. That must’ve been one cool-​ass mutt! I only have a few regrets in my life, and stopping in here about a year too late to meet Bauser is definitely one of them.
The first evening we rolled in because the Pinellas Trail runs through they back parking lot. Very wisely, they built a small wooden bridge over the creek back there and put a sign that reads, «Cold water, even colder beer.» And that’s how we were reeled in.
The bar itself is great, and the people are even better. Everyone here is friendly as if we’ve been coming in for decades. We meet Frank from Ohio the first night, who told us stories about Bauser and some squirrel that found his way into the owner’s pocket one day. On our second trip, we met Alex from Colombia – a fan of wooden nickles. Also a real swell fella. The list goes on and on.
Recently, the bar has been rehabbed. It is definitely a dive bar, but its recent face-​lift gives one an idea of what it might have looked like 12 years ago. Also, smoking was once permitted inside, but they built a huge covered front patio, and the smokers have been relocated.
So far, this is becoming my favorite dive in Dunedin.
PS the live music is always great too!

Bausers is now non smoking and with a whole new renovation going on from the outside to the inside, youll be happy with the new bausers. Youll be hearing some new local talent as well as their usual great stuff. Great staff and the renovations did not affect their cheap prices. Smokers are rewarded a new awning out front with speakers to enjoy the music as well. Come check it out!!! Youll be a regular before you know it!!!

I visit Bauser’s on Monday for the live music. It’s mostly an older crowd. Been going here for a little over 2 years. The building is a nondescript cinder block rectangle. Inside, it is dark and there is a slight smoke smell early in the evening. As the evening passes, its going to get smokier and smokier.
The music can be anywhere from good to off the hook excellent. I’ve seen tremendous musicians play here (remember, there is no cover to get in and listen). The bartender is the best ever, read the reviews below and others say the same. She is super prompt and courteous. Truly, the best bartender anywhere. The drink prices seem ridiculously low.
Yes, I have to wash my clothes after I visit, but the music, low prices and awesome wait staff keeps me coming back.

Oh Bausers. I come here once a month because my boyfriend plays music here. The atmosphere is completely smoky and casual so beware. If you don’t like cigarette smoke, you’re screwed here. They do have a front patio if you need an escape. The staff are very very friendly so you will be helped in a timely fashion. Come check it out for yourself. Prices are good and people are happy. Live music daily and nightly.

Love this place! Yeah it can be smokey, but it’s a classic neighborhood dive bar with a ton of friendly people. The bartenders are all fantastic. Most importantly the line up of live music is the best in town.

I was here for a fun run race over the past weekend. In fact, I was a volunteer. After the race, I went inside to do a Bloody Mary and sample the refreshments. I have to say that the overpowering smell of stale smoke was such a distraction.(you can smoke in a bar if there is no food served.) As much as I’d like to come over occasionally to listen to some good live blues, I might be too distracted by the smoke. I will add that the staff and bartenders were most friendly.
