Tequila Daisy — Restaurant in Saint Petersburg

We stopped by this afternoon once we realized it was open. They're still getting their feet wet, so don't expect fast service. However, they were really friendly. There is limited seating and no table service, so once you find a spot, save it! Also, there are no food option, so make sure you eat before you drink!

We had a couple drinks each and tasted each other's so we were able to sample quite a few.

The Tequila Espresso Martini was my favorite, but I'm biased because an Espresso martini is my guilty pleasure! I also had the Boca de Fuego; it was a good drink, but it would also make a great marinade!! Lol .. Heads up, just because you can't see the flame doesn't mean it's not on fire! My last drink was the Miracle on Ice. I really enjoyed the hibiscus ice cube! It was like a little slushie at the end of my drink.

We also had the Melon Mezcal, Nectar of the Gods, Tequi-La-La and the Tequila Daisy.

The Melon Mezcal was my second favorite. It was light and refreshing; especially after the heat today. Nectar of the Gods was also a nice, light drink. The Tequila Daisy was good, but it tasted more like a run of the mill margarita. Tequi-La-La had creme de fleur and the lavender tea, both with strong flavors so there was a strong floral taste, but the drink was decent. My friend had no problem finishing it!

The music was a bit loud for the crowd that was there, but all in all, it was a great visit! I don't think it will be a regular spot for us, simply because of the limited space, but it will definitely be a place we take out of towners! I look forward to seeing how they grow once they get into the...

With a heavy heart I have to share my review.. On Monday evening (February 5th) we brought some friends from out of town, my partner and I absolutely loved coming to tequila daisy and had a fantastic experience!

However, this time around we had a completely different experience. We walked in and sat down at the bar. After a few minuets the bartender gave us a shout that she would be with us soon. We were approached with a scowl and a glare, I ordered a mocktail and my partner ordered a margarita. The bartender was absolutely annoyed… saying she is going to need a little more context about what kind of mocktail I would like, and she needed more adjectives. So I responded I like fruity flavors but not too sweet, she rolled her eyes and said “so you want fruit but not sweet…” and I said sweet is okay just not over the top, I was met with another eye roll. I almost walked right out of the bar but we have raved to our friends that this place was amazing.. truthfully I was appalled with this bartender, she was short with all of us, did not make us feel welcomed at all… and when I spoke to her about the hospitality discount she replied with annoyance, yet again. This was hands down the worst experience I have ever had at a bar or restaurant. Thankfully there was a shift change and new bartender on was actually the owner. She was truly amazing and a breath of fresh air. She knows how to run a bar! She is efficient and kind. She saved this experience for us and I will return but if I see that other bartender again I will not step foot into that...

So, I'm writing this strictly on how myself and a group of us were treated. If you're in the service industry you're more critical. Myself and a friend arrived around 4:10pm, when the hours state they open at 4pm. One door was locked and a gentleman said try the other door, we did and it was open. We walked in, no one was around however there was a roll of toilet paper on the bar.....we waited a couple moments and other attempted to open the door. Us thinking the door being locked was a mistake opened it. The bartender came out of the bathroom gave us all a dirty look said "THE DOOR WAS LOCKED FOR A REASON IM NOT OPEN YET" ok first off if you're not open make sure all the doors are locked as your hours stated on the door start at 4pm. Also don't come yelling at us like we did something wrong, I would have had NO PROBLEM leaving and coming back when convenient. However she was rude and nasty. Therefore I will NEVER recommend or patron this place simply for the fact their employees have no respect for anyone. She turned away 6 of us, their drinks are not cheap so think over 200$ in revenue.....i totally would've come back but she was nasty so we walked across the street to a different bar and spent our hard earned money there.....buyer beware....their hours are not...
