We're from the Jacksonville area and most years we like to get down to Port St Lucie for a couple of Mets spring training games. It was Monday morning (St Patrick's day) and our game didn't start 'til 1. Rather than stare at the motel room walls, me and a friend decided beer was in order, and at 10am that involves a quest to find the local dive bar. Mumbles it is. I LOVE dive bars.
There's no sign, so it's easy to miss. Look for the red awnings (has name on it in small letters).
One warning, if you don't like smoke, they DO allow smoking here. It wasn't too bad while we were there....I admit I'm not nuts about smoke.
It was obvious this was a local bar the second you walked into the door. The bartendress was great, they had Bud Heavy on draft (plus 2 lights and another regular). We were the first there, but some other regulars found their way through the doors. Whether the bartenders or the regulars, we had laughs with whoever was there. Everyone was super friendly in the perfect local\dive bar way. They even had a little dog that was kind of the bar mascot. I think his owner works there as he was doing a bunch of stuff to help with opening (and what looked to be a spread they'd set up for later on St Pat's day). Little dude was named T. Rex. I think he was a Corgi or something. My friend was laughing at him so his owner put him on the stool next to my friend and T. Rex was happy to get some pets and look pretty funny sitting at the bar. I think it's a regular spot for them.
Gametime was approaching and it was time to go. Everyone said goodbye, good luck to the mets and we'd better come back next year....
Read moreShort haired female bartender, I believe her name was Maria, racially profiled my friends and I. Then checked for our licenses an hour after we had been there and instead of giving us the chance to remove it from our wallets she snatched our wallets from our hands. She also accused us of sneaking in even though we came in through one of their front doors. Completely ignored our requests/ orders... the only time she came over even remotely close to us was to reach over me and dump a bunch of ash trays in the trash can next to us. This wasn’t the first time we’ve been there, we usually go for a fun karaoke night. But we won’t ever go back. Thanks...
Read moreI came to Mumbles today. I’m from out of town and was looking for a place that may have a jukebox and would show the UT Bama game. Very local.. BUT.. the people let the outsiders and visitors fit right in. This place made me feel like one of locals. By the end of the night people were calling me by name. The jukebox plaid at an audible level, they showed the game, beer and frosted glasses completely on point The bartenders .. I believe Samantha.. and Tabby were so kind and friendly.. I was hungry and they didn’t serve food but had no problem with me ordering delivery. This bar is 5...
