Girlfriend and I came here on a Saturday at the end of Pride month, there was a Silent Disco that ended up being so much fun after a little drinking (prices aren't terrible and the bartenders are cool). I think it's a company with traveling DJs, because I've seen the same setup somewhere else and they also had 3 DJs playing different genres just like Salty's had on this night. And there was literally all genders, ages, races, and music tastes dancing and having a great time all together. Awesome experience.
I'm going to have to contact the company that provided the DJs though, and let them know, they are doing a really good job, and need more headphones. We almost didn't get any, and had to wait awhile to get some that got returned, and we still paid full price for them, which honestly didn't seem fair. My feeling is yeah, there were a lot of people, sure, but if you sell out of a $20 headphone rental, you're doing something right, and should invest in more. It's kind of a lame reason to lose money or have people leave upset, easily fixable (I do I.T. so I know that even if there is a device limit, there are ways around that, so hopefully it's not that, and if it is, idk hire me haha)
Apologies that this is more of a review on the DJs that were there, but Salty's hired them and they handled everything else well,...
   Read moreProbably a nice gin joint as long as you don't date any of the clientel Seems the "family" atmosphere has permeated into the social lives of It's patrons. I was dating (we'll call her Sue,) who is a friend of the owner. Sue and I were on the outs and it seemed as things were finished. We spoke and she assured me there would be no repercussions at the bar.
Not true, Tonight I was banned for life. I'm a disabled war veteran, and suffer from severe symptoms of PTSDA. As part of my recovery it was recomended by VA medical professionals that I get a dog, get out and socialize. Check...done... for the last 7 months the pup and I have really enjoyed walking in Gulfport and occasionally stopping into this "dog friendly" bar. It's been very beneficial for me and my recovery. I've spent money, left tips and have been in absolutely no trouble there I've met m a my GREAT people. Now I am banned because the owner's friend's feelings were hurt. Don't know for sure but doesn't look like a very good business model to me.
Now, if they had the cure to cancer, I would not and would recomend that No-One patronize this place. If you're in, you' re in...If you're "out" w/ the wrong person...you're out...too bad for you. Maybe it should be called Salty's...
   Read moreWe just moved to St. Pete a month ago, we came down to Gulfport, checking out the area with my family for some appetizers on a Wednesday at 4pm. We were met with great patrons! It looked like a fun place! Then it took a turn for the worse, the bartender gave extreme attitude that we brought our 10 month old son in the restaurant and yelled across the bar at us that absolutely no babies can be here. I apologized and said no problem we can sit outside, and she went on continuing her attitude and told us we weren’t allowed anywhere on the property. I understand that establishments have their rules but no reason to embarrass me and my family by yelling at us across the bar. We politely left but felt the situation could have been handled more professionally. Instead we left hurt and embarrassed in front of the patrons who were all there. Just disappointed. It’s hard enough being new to the area while also trying to find your way...
