The Scene – Boasting 6,000 square-feet of rock 'n' roll and automotive memorabilia, the front end of a 1955 Chrysler and a '71 Mustang hang from the ceiling. You can also sit down in a Lincoln Continental that's been converted into an eating booth. But cars aren't the only thing that drive this place. There's also live music most nights, as well as a sports bar to watch the games. – – When to Go – It depends on your mood. There's a different theme almost every night. Monday is karaoke. Wednesday is biker night. Thursday is metal night. And live bands perform…

Editor's Tips

One of Tampa Bay's Best:
Nominated for Best Dive Bar because it's one of the few biker-friendly places in Pinellas County.
No-Frills Rock and Roll:
Damn the Torpedoes, the Rokkerz and Rocket 88 are among the bands who have played here.
Here's Your Sign:
You can't miss this place, just look for the pink neon sign.

The Owner is an Arse

by jody3575 at Citysearch

So I took my friend to go see the much advertised JELLO WRESTLING on Tuesday night. We were so excited to finally experience entertainment such as that, and so close to home. We should have made the drive & gone to SHOWGIRLS off I-4 exit 25 (the commercial says). I checked the website a couple times, I even CALLED and only got a recoding as usual when you call bars-but I wanted to be sure this event was taking place. We went on faith that the continuous ad ON THEIR WEBSITE was correct and up to date. Go look at the website, it is STILL there advertising $2 Tuesdays with jello wrestling & wet t-shirt no matter how much the "owner" denies the fact that it says that on his website. He doesn't know what is on his website, he treats customers like crap (called me a see-you-next-Tuesday) just for questioning what was CLEARLY advertised on his website. He was rude and does not deserve to be in the position of owner/manager/cook (yeah not even a COOK as nasty greasy dirty as he looked, eeewwwwoooo gross little angry man. If he truly is the owner no wonder he needs a cook, I cant imagine anyone wanting to work for him for long. I wont argue that the place is a cool idea/theme for a bar, very cool. However I REFUSE to spend my money in a place owned & ran by such a nasty, mean person. It's a wonder how he ever got to the point of owning such an establishment. Imagine what this place could do in the hands of REAL MANAGEMENT, such potential... a shame. I will never go there again & advise all my friends to avoid this place & go where your business is appreciated!

A dump by any other name is still a dump

by vgonzalez3 at Citysearch

The only people that go here are still wearing their hair feathered and think Camaro was THE car. Oh, but dont' forget the bikers that add even more abience to the place. Cheap drinks? of course, the clientel couldn't afford otherwise. Have a blast, at your own risk.

  • Pros: NONE!
  • Cons: It's still open

great place to see local bands

by sunsu72 at Citysearch

i recently went to gasoline alley to see RESCUE22 perform and i was blown away by how good the music sounded. The prices of the drinks were pretty good too. I recommend anyone who likes music, low price beers and good food to head on down to GASOLINE ALLEY! I drove all the way down from brooksville florida and i will come back again to check out the local music scene.

Get your wallet out @ the door !

by Gemmay at Citysearch

Wow , Major changes ! New owner - new rules - $$$ - They are now charging on week nights - Can you believe it ! I about fell over this past Wednesday night . This was a place I could go and visit with friends ,listen to a little music , & dance .It wasn't enough that the waitresses try to up the prices on drinks , now they upped the price @ the door . - It was a nice night out without being to pricey - Now if you don't ride a bike - YOU PAY at the DOOR ! Isn't that discrimination ? People are talking - NEW OWNER BETTER WAKE UP ! - He won't be seeing much of me - or - other regulars - too bad he is ruining a "Good 'ole Place " ! - Gem - peace -

  • Pros: live music, good friends, $2.00 beers
  • Cons: charging at the door, cops right outside, not enough bathrooms
