Mahuffer

I tell all newbies & vacationers to be sure to check this place out! Even as a walk through for craziest décor! Great place for silly photo shots. Indoor and outdoor bar area! Ask bartender for a marker & leave your mark! Lol love love love!

I came here with my friends after $ 1 drink night at Gooses. The bartenders wouldn’t serve me even though I am not driving and fine to drink. I will not come back.

You really have to see this place to believe it. It is stuffed to the gills with all kinds of beach flotsam and jetsam. I saw the front end of an old Cadillac in one corner, and a couple of old toilets functioning as planters and ashtrays elsewhere.
There’s a cool outside tiki area, and the inside has a stage where they always seem to have some type of live jam going on, later at night. They do allow smoking, so beware. I wish they did not, but then half the clientele would not be able to hang out here anymore.
The beer prices aren’t super cheap, but you won’t leave broke, either.
Check out the well-​lit horoscope signs above the stage. They depict various sexual poses. Hilarious. Those alone are worth the trip inside.
There is so much graffiti in the toilets that you may linger there just to read it.

What a great bar! Drinks are strong and cheap, service quick and friendly, great live music and loved the atmosphere. Only downside was the toilet would not flush in the ladies room.
We will add this to our rotation!!!

This is the closest thing to a real tiki bar within a 45 mile radius of Tampa. A bar with a thatched roof does not a tiki bar make. Nautical décor hanging all around does. There’s an iguana and a cat.

As the bucket above the register states. «tipping your bartender is a nice way of showing your not a asshole». Great place

I think this was a first. I went to a bar and didn’t order a drink. The place was too dirty for me to want to drink anything that came from there. It also smelled like an ashtray. I did enjoy looking at the things taped to the walls. It’s like a throwback. A time capsule of sorts. I’m pretty sure this was the first time I went into a bathroom and saw the writing on the seat and not just on the walls. My friend who is with me said she had to accompany me to the bathroom I told her I wasn’t that kind of girl and then she told me I would understand once I got there. I definitely understood once I got to the bathroom stall… She was standing guard for me. I guess this could be a good place to get a cheap drink after spending the day at the beach but I really don’t know why I drove 15 miles for this. I do have to say the highlight of the evening was walking across the street afterwards and watching the sunset on the beach. I won’t be back. It’s too dirty for my taste.

Best dive beach bar around! A good time for the 21 year old and the 60 year olds. Cheap drinks, cool atmosphere and a unique place. Just be careful with the jukebox! The owner likes to skip songs that he doesn’t like, though they will give you your money back :)

I would not say Mahuffer’s is the «Wurst Place on the Beech.» But this dive bar is very … unique? I’m not even sure if unique is the correct word for it. But it defiantly holds to the definition of dive bar with its poor, poor ‘upkeep’ included with decorative bras and panties hanging everywhere.
I did not get the chance to eat their food. However, I don’t think I could ever from what it looks like on the inside. It was dark even when we decided to stop in, but from what I could tell, it was certainly grimy. This is certainly somewhere you go when your looking for a cheap hangout. But do not expect too much and defiantly sanitize yourself after being here.

I felt like I was simultaneously at a biker bar, the tavern from Mos Eisley, a punk club from 1982, and the clubhouses for both The Lost Boys, and Brody’s gang of bank-​robbing surfers. I liked it.

My favorite bar on the beach definitely not a traditional beach bar which I hate. But this is my kind of place especially if you want to go somewhere where you don’t have to worry what you’re wearing or expescially if you want to go somewhere where you don’t have to worry what you’re wearing or being too loud or drinking too much. It’s a totally awesome atmosphere and usually have a great band playing there. And you can’t miss it just look for the junk car out front.

This place is a dump, strange items strewn all over the place with mildly functional capabilities. But we love it! Save the fact that I once got thrown out of here in the 80s this place is still has character and isn’t afraid to show it. Keep rockin!

Kitschy, quirky, off the wall, trashy random crazy fun. These words can best describe Mahuffer dive bar, but no other way to feel the craze unless you step right in with your own two feet.
Come here to escape the heat, get outta the rain, smell the stank, grab a beer or mixed drink, and sit back and go nuts. You will have fun, and if you don’t then that’s your fault.

You’ve got to get to mahuffer’s once before you go. Preferably before mid-​day when the atmosphere is dead, dark, hurtful, and so relaxing… It’s like a public hobbit hole where everyone has taken a shit to say, «I was here! And yes, I was free.»
Then again, some like I it rowdy. The night scene is for you, when you can leave behind your stigma, norms and sexual aversions behind. I dare you to try to catch the staff after there shift. You likely won’t be able to keep up. They’ll take you for a good platitude climb over a greasy rocked face.
This isn’t (yet /​maybe missed) a place for the artist. Sure the place is art in itself, but it does not create, inspire or find a muse.
If you decide to go during the day, note that some of the regular non-​regulars (those that consider themselves regulars, but are not) are toxic and excellent bullshitters. Keep an open mind, but never believe there horse shit without researching first.
You will come to Mahuffer’s to let go of you’re worldly troubles. Let’s hope you find a sustainable way to let go those troubles and take some layer of dirt and hurt back to your home (assuming you are a tourist or nonlocal within five miles).

If there’s such thing as spoofing to be a dive bar, this is the place. It’s so over-​the-​top ridiculous and beyond craptacular. I think I wandered around for the first 15 minutes just staring at things. Besides all of the bras, panties and mens underwear, there was a snow mobile, rusty kitchen appliances, skis, boat parts and tons of other «stuff» strewn all over. It was a hoarders dream. There was a decent crowd, including a 4-​some of men who just got off the golf course… so apparently it wasn’t too divey for them to stop and have a beer. I ordered a PBR tall boy can, because it seemed like the right thing to do. You wouldn’t dare eat at this place, except for ordering from the smoker that is located outside of the joint. A fun place, where it’s normal to see a cat sleeping on the bar.

This is a must to take any of your friends that come to visit ! It reminds me of a bar that would be on key west ! There so always someone selling beef jerky or cookies. This is a chill scene and a lot of locals .
Nice place to go very a chill and fun people watching

This is one of the most unique places I have ever been to. A junkyard that sells spirits and beer. Eclectic, several different areas of equal oddity. Highly recommend it. No food, but very reasonably priced drinks. The employees are terrific and friendly

Crazy Crazy is the best way to describe this dive bar… They have fantastic music on the weekends. They serve no food but you can order for delivery. Drinks are averaged priced. They make a great Bloody Mary and Rum Runner. The only drawback is people can smoke cigarettes inside…
Other than that, it’s a must see if you are in
Indian Shores, St. Pete beach…

Why 3 stars? Because it’s a cool dive bar, but it’s still a dive bar.

While we were waiting an hour and a half for a table at Salt Rock, my girlfriend let me know about a cool bar right down the street that we could go check out. The result is something I already knew = dive bars are just not my scene.
I hear people say this all the time: «sometimes it’s cool to just go to a dive bar and have a Bud Light or a PBR.»
My response: «No. I do not ever enjoy drinking low-​quality, bad-​tasting beer.»
It’s not a novelty, or kitschy to me. It’s just ingesting something awful.
The low-​hanging ceilings, bras all over the walls, old-​school furniture… that’s pretty cool. But at the end of the day, there is still no beer selection, and the cocktails are made with the same skill-​level that I have, which is zero.
Also be prepared to smell like an ashy tray after spending only 20 minutes here.

What the hell is going on in here?!! Very unique bar. It’s purposely supposed to look dumpy and it does, but in a good way. It was unusually comfortable actually. The decorations were quite amusing and I enjoyed walking around this place checking out all the craziness. There are bras, underwear, and profanity amongst a lot of other interesting objects and pictures hanging on every inch of the walls. It seems like everyone on the planet has came in and signed their name with a sharpie. The place is one big Signature. If u haven’t been, u definitely need to check this place out. Good Drinks, very friendly Patrons who will strike up a convo with u at the bar, and great live music. Not for the uptight!
