Where do I Start? If you’re looking for a guitar, wether it’s your first time shopping or you’re looking to add to your collection go see Sean over at guitars, he went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. Very informative and layed back and positive attitude, we got me approved for my dream guitar and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment you walk in to the time you leave you’re treated with the upmost professionalism. I really love this place.
Great staff and amazingly huge selections! Ian and Ian were both fantastic in helping me get exactly what I needed! I’ll be using Sam Ash exclusively for my music needs
I’m a full time singer/guitarist. They usually have whatever I need in stock. I wish they carried DR Acoustic strings (Veritas). Recent purchases include a guitar stand, strings, an amp stand, a lap top stand, and strap locks. Best pedal selection in Tampa Bay!
Musicians need brick nd mortar stores like Sam Ash. All staff were friendly and helped me get what I needed. There is no substitute for on hand inventory. I want to play and listen to what I am going to buy and I can do that at Sam Ash!
Friendly and helpful staff. They have a full rnge of whatever you need.
I ordered a looper on Dec. 20. I write this on Jan. 6 and still have not received the pedal. I have called three times, all three times been asked to provide my phone number and to have my call returned after they “look into” the order. I have yet to have been given an update on the order, that I was told would take 4 or 5 days, have yet to be called back and will never purchase from here again. I know things get busy around the holidays but I ordered 2 pedals from other stores and actually received those in 2-3 days without paying for shipping. The competition delivers, and that’s all I ask for.
Very disappointed, we have tried to visit retail businesses during this very difficult time for them to support our local businesses. We were looking for a specific gift for our son. When we asked an associate they pointed and said we could find it over there….. they are not marked so we could not find what we were looking for. We waited at least 15 minutes trying to find someone to help us. They were not interest. we left to take our business elsewhere.
Sam Ash is one of the most wonderful music stores in the world! It’s true, the buildings history and architecture transform your experience into something quite magical. I’ve been going to Sam ash for years. I have a famous music producer in my home therefore I have a music studio , lolz…
I’ve always had an awesome time shopping, looking around, playing with what we’re purchasing and then making a purchase and leaving happy. On this last visit I was not! The rep Sean Murphy that approached us had a harassing nature. He was forceful and did not aim to please. At checking out I was be-little by one of his colleagues and him and had to bring it to both their attention while I demanded respect. My son wanted to visit the drum area and we did not because of Sean Murphy! His customer service skills are weak.
Anthony was by far the best sales person, mentor, and face of music for Sam Ash Clearwater ever. If I have to deal with Sean Murphy I will not visit again.
Very nice place and nice people. Highly recommend.
The best instrument repair shop. So lucky we found them.
Tate repair is AMAZING! While their company is newer, Clint & Kevin have been repairing their instruments for years. Soldering is IMPECCABLE! Clint fully believes in repairing the instrument at a high quality so you don’t have to bring it back later.
In pictures, the French previously looked like a car ran over it and the Bass Clarinet rods were snapped in half.
5. Safety Harbor Art And Music Center
Address: 706 2nd St N, Safety Harbor, FL 34695 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
Beautiful place to scape from it all!
Love Wendy ❤️
Thanks for your help and conversation
I got your message.
I needed that
The Art and Music center is a magical place. A place that love and creativity built. A place that continues to attract talented artists for others to enjoy. Leave your “technology screens” behind and immerse yourself in visual and performance art, classes and shows. Fun and delight await you!
As the weather cools this venue will be better suited for entertainment. It was hot out when I went. As a smaller open air venue, it was too warm for me with only a fan blowing. Inside the shop was a great variety of handmade crafts and clothing. There is also a bar in the back yard for beverages.
This is an interesting place to visit. When they are open, the staff are very helpful and the decor is delightfully whimsical. They sell products made by local artists, and there are regular musical events put on in an intimate venue. Definitely worth visiting.
I didn’t know anything about this unique find. It was closed when we came across it, so hopefully I will be able to come back & see what it’s all about
Horrible music and quite frankly ugly art. They blare music on weekdays to the point that it rattles the building and causes disruptions to the nearby residential homes.
This place is not art. It looks like a junkyard and seems to be a place for old hippies to get drunk at! It’s an eyesore for the neighborhood and a traffic nightmare for the residents.

6. Daniel Holsinger Productions
Address: 1703 McMullen Booth Rd #411, Safety Harbor, FL 34695 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
Awesome experience! But seriously working with Daniel HOLSINGER Productions has been an amazing musical journey!
Highly Recommended!
For starters – I’m an artist that understands that he’ll probably never be famous.. I have realistic expectations for my music. I do it because I LOVE it. I don’t record in major studios (despite living in Nashville). I record from my home studio and send the files out to session artists for overdubs.
Given the decent (not the highest) quality of my files, Daniel has done an INCREDIBLE job making the music “tight” on the mix. Volume levels are perfect. Excellent amount of reverb, compression, and EQ. And the master was even BETTER. Reallllly brought the record together to sound professional, which I really appreciate.
This guy honestly is out of my league but he took the time to work with me. I’ll use him again in the future! No questions asked. Awesome sound engineer.
Outstanding engineer! Has a great creative approach. Always good working with him. Have been using him for years now.
She got my son who was not interested in piano to really like it again. She was cheerful and engaging and fun ! She is very devoted to her craft and her students!
I love piano lessons in your home!! They really listen to you and match you with a teacher for your family
9. Knightro Guitars
Address: 107 Dunbar Ave f, Oldsmar, FL 34677 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
I found Knightro when I was asking around on Facebook for someone in the local area to dig into my double-neck a little to make it playable again. I brought it out to Andrew’s shop in Oldsmar and he was a consumate professional. He showed me his current builds and the quality is fantastic. The guy really knows what he is doing and he went above and beyond with my guitar. I’ll be keeping him good and busy with more small jobs soon. Keep up the good work, Andrew!
Andrew hand makes awesome guitars! I can’t wait to see what he makes next.
A super knowledgeable custom builder who is always happy to answer your questions and make sure your guitar is exactly what you want and need.
Would not do business with this company. My son had a horrible experience with him. Paid a lot of money and in the end he had to bring the guitar in a shop for repair so it was just playable. He waited a extra year after it was supposed to be done to get a guitar that had to be fixed. Also, he was supposed to get a case which he never got. Seller ghosted my son when he wanted his case and reimbursement for necessary repairs to just play the guitar. Just not a good experience at all. Not what he was promised, and definitely not what he paid for.
Don’t waste your time. It’s not at the address listed.
10. Safety Harbor
Address: 500 Main St, Safety Harbor, FL 34695 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
I don’t normally give 5 stars to anything! However the help I received getting the perfect gift, made this an easy decision.
I’m absolutely in love! Spell + Siren is my new favorite boutique! The store itself is so nice, everything they have is adorable, and the staff is so helpful. This boutique fits perfectly in Safety Harbor and i can’t wait to go back!
SPELL+SIREN Collective is not just a women’s clothing boutique — it’s a super-chic explosion of bohemian awesomeness filled to the brim with stuff I never knew I needed so badly. There are popular clothing brands like Amuse Society and Indah but also a bunch independent and upcoming local designers — it feels great to get a compliment on something I got at SPELL+SIREN and be able to respond, “Oh, it’s this local.” Their jewelry is a ridiculously gorgeous collection of new and vintage stuff in all price ranges, with a bunch of locally made pieces mixed in.
The shop is clean, spacious and just plain gorgeous. There’s a ton of stuff to browse but it doesn’t feel crowded or stuffy, or that I’m going to turn around and knock something over with my giant purse.
You can tell SPELL+SIREN really their heart into stocking nothing but beautiful clothing and jewelry – she has impeccable taste and it shows in just about everything about this place. Great addition to Safety Harbor.
Crazy expensive! Stay away! A $20 heating element part, they wanted to charge me $337 dollars. I told them not to come back I’ll do it myself. It’s no wonder they want the service call $60 paid up front before arrival.
Technician just left my house. I have a freezer that is breaking. Its 3 years old. He first doesn’t speak English so had to use 2 different people on his phone to translate which didn’t work out very well. He said it could be 3 differnt things wrong and I should try to use my warranty. I know its broken and your job is to figure out what is wrong and give me a cost to repair regardless of my warranty. His supervisor said it would require 2 men and be about 900.00 to repair without even getting a correct diagnosis. I basically paid him a diagnosis fee to tell me its broken and doesn’t know why.
It’s a rip off there not even in safety harbor!!!!!!!
I attended a memorial service at the UUC church on Mirror Lake for those in our homeless community who passed this last year. Gemma presence at the service together with her truly compassionate interaction and her inspired piping brought together with one voice all those who attended. Gemma arrived early and suggested that she start by piping on the steps of the church as an invitation to enter and attend the service. Her music selections were uplifting and inspirational. Thank you GEMMA for sharing your gift with our community.
Thank you Gemma for beautifully playing bagpipe at Mark’s Military Honors Ceremony and Internment, so moving. Professional from start to finish.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Gemma perform at my mother’s 90th birthday celebration, and she was an absolute delight. Her performance was a surprise to the birthday girl and party guests and when Gemma came through the doors heralding Happy Birthday on the big pipes, there was not a dry eye in the house! My mother’s family came from Aberdeen, Scotland so Gemma’s performance made the birthday celebration especially meaningful for my mom. Gemma shared stories and engaged with our family and guests. Her charming personality, combined with her exceptional musical talent, made my mother’s 90th birthday an even more meaningful and unforgettable day. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to elevate a special occasion with a perfect blend of professionalism, warmth, and great music. Thank you, Gemma, for making our day SO memorable!
12. Guitar Center
Address: 21335 US Hwy 19 N, Clearwater, FL 33765 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
Loja com grande variedade de instrumentos e acessórios
Can mostly find all my musical needs here. Anything else, can be found on the website.
Very helpful and knowledge. Prices are in line with the market.
I used to live in Clearwater, FL and had purchased a Takamine gs 330s acoustic with case in approx 2010 and was very pleased with the service provided and the product purchased.
Just a couple of weeks ago (March 2019), while on vacation, I revisited the Store. I am vshocked” as to how the Customer Service has declined..and many of the guitars were just not playable…i.e., old strings, not “set-up”, etc.
After finding an Alvarez AF70OMCESHB Electric-Acoustic that sounded & felt great, I asked a Rep if he could get a “cord” to plug in to a Fender acoustic amp.
That’s when the “downfall began, in earnest.
The electronics (pickup) in it the did not work. The rep thought it might be the battery..New battery installed, still did not work. The Rep left with the Guitar, said he’d be back in a couple of mins with staus update. That didn’t. happen, either.
I left the acoustic guitar area for the Front desk to get other assistance..I found the Rep on the phone assisting with someone else.
Thouroughly discusted, I left the Store. They totally “blew” a potential sale, and left a bad taste in my mouth for ever doing business with them again.
Update: Today, I called the Store, still interested in the guitar(believe it, or not) to see if it had been dealt with(i.e.)repaired, certified back to Manfacturer’s full warrantee condition.
I spoke with Adriana about it. She said she’d check it out and get back to Me by phone “shortly”.
That didn’t happen, either.
I gave them one more chance and called back again asking Adriana about the guitar. Her answer…”We can’t find it..I don’t know it’s status..?!?
Customer service “failure”, in total..
I will never again do business with this Store and I highly suggest “You don’t, either”..!!
Sorry…but if the “shoe fits, wear it”…
Very negative business group of Employees.
Not much of a selection
This will be my first and last time, I REPEAT FIRST AND LAST TIME EVER ORDERING FROM GUITAR CENTER ONLINE, in-store or whatever. My boyfriend is am aspiring d.j. at first it was just a hobbie, but now people have really taken notice. So much so that he invested in school for it. The school recommended certain equipment and after I researched, i could only get it from guitar center. (Keep in mind I thought I was doing an order online for pickup in the Clearwater store)all three pieces of my order shipped separately, then one item was cancelled, and because this is a birthday gift and the wrong address is on pkg, i wanted to pick up at a ups facility but guitar center (sender) didn’t opt in for that option. Now I just received one item,after completing and address change, but the other part of my order is still on a truck somewhere because the address change didn’t apply to the other shipment and my boyfriends birthday is this friday. ☹
13. Bassano Cheesecake
Address: 507 Main St, Safety Harbor, FL 34695 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
Excellent cheese cakes. Various types with great coffee.
Ordered an Iced Latte and settled in to get some work done. The spaces available both indoor and outdoor for remote work along with the availability of internet make this a great remote work stop.
Found this amazing place on FB and took the 20 minute drive with a coworker. Worth it!!!! Not only is the cheesecake incredible, but the scones are melt in your mouth delicious, the hard rolls are this NY girls weakness and best of all, the people were friendly, helpful and obviously love what they do. I will be back, often!
Arts and crafts show downtown, so; Bassano’s was lineup inside. Ordered peppermint Latte and something Butter for wife. Latte’s we’re really tasty and hot as they should be, then sat outside and talk with people. A really good experience. Thank-you
TG
Great small business and good cheesecake. For the price you pay I wish the peices of cheesecake were a bit bigger.
The cheesecake was good but not as good as the cheesecake factory.it was warmer inside than it was outside.
This place has terrible customer service and mediocre product, we will not be returning.
This review is not about the food or the service. It’s about their consciousness around environment. They have decided to decorate with products that are not stationary and are floating all over the neighborhood of safety harbor. It harmful to the environment and its no one else responsibility to clean up after you. Please go clean up your mess along the street of safety harbor.
This cheesecake is a 5. I’ve been coming here since they opened- always Iove the product. However, the service has never been good and is getting worse. The layout of the entrance is awful and although the doorway is chronically backed up and customers are constantly complaining they don’t seem to care. It would take an afternoon to remerch the front of the store and create a better customer experience….please do all of your customers a favor and make it possible to enter your shop.
14. Troubled Waters Brewing
Address: 670 Main St, Safety Harbor, FL 34695 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
Always great beer with a lot of diversity in the 30 taps. Most of the beers are brewed right there. Wine and can beer are also available. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help you find which beer will suit your taste.
We totally enjoy going to Troubled Waters! Great tasting variety of beer that you can taste test before deciding. Service is top notch!
Amazing beer and very friendly and knowledgeable staff!!! I highly highly highly recommend this brewery!!!
would be 5 but some of the bartenders are a little rude unfortunately
The pineapple cider was amazing! Cute place with friendly and helpful staff.
It’s not the same as before since these new guys took over
Beer was ok. We got a flight at the bar and the bartender never came back. It’s eh.
Went there for my girlfriends mothers 60th birthday to have a few drinks. before we even got the drinks but after my girl and her mom ordered then they went to the bathroom and the bartender did not know I was with em (I’m white and there Latino) she started to bad talk them about how she did not like the way they ordered the drinks and called em stupid. After being that offended i will never go to this place again
15. Yamaha Pianos
Address: 2541 Countryside Blvd Ste. 6, Clearwater, FL 33761 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
If your looking for a great local veteran business that gives great service, check out this place! Prices are amazing too! Totally worth every penny!
What a great experience! The owners are very responsive, professional, and easy to work with. They gave us thorough instructions on how to use the Golf Cart, pointed out all of the fun features it had, gave us tips and tricks, and even recommended some great restaurants and spots to check out in the area where we were cruising! We had a blast and will definitely be renting from them again. Such a fun time creating memories with my family, much thanks to Harbor Rides!
Rented from them a couple times an always great service. On time an professional with reasonable prices
17. Whistle Stop Grill and Bar
Address: 915 Main St, Safety Harbor, FL 34695 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
Was taking a walk downtown safety harbor and was lucky enough to spot this gem. The crab stack appetizer was delicious!!! My 9 month old enjoyed the fresh fruit and hubby had a bacon burger that was cooked to perfection. Menu was priced right and our waitress was awesome! Highly recommend stopping by for lunch!
Update 6/3/21 : Went back food was just as amazing. Live music on a Wednesday night. We had a waitress named Jo-Anne. HANDS DOWN BEST WAITRESS I HAVE EVER HAD!!
First time there. Great food and nice atmosphere. Will definitely return.
Menu on South side of the building at the ice cream window is in need of updating. It clearly says it two scoops are $3.90. Ordered two Scoops in a cup was charged $6.21. I believe they are using a local Saint Petersburg Creamery so the ice cream is not outstanding its average it’s okay.
Good food but too expensive for what it was. Ok service. Nice outdoor seating.
Worst ice cream ever should have served it with a straw. An honest business would have mentioned the ice cream is really soft before taking your money.
We went to have dinner with my family tonight… it was our first time here and we are NoT going back… our server was all over the place… she looked upset and her attitude was really bad…. i asked her for a box to go and she ended up picking up my plate and put all the food on top so i wasnt able to take anything … then she didt bring us the check and our check was 70$ plus which we didnt know why… she tried to be nice at the end by telling us the dessert was for free… it was all very confusing…i worked at restaurant for years and that kind of service is unacceptable… never going back…
Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock my family and I dined for lunch. I get everyone is short staffed and doing their best. I ordered a salad with Salmon. It was one of the most saddest salads I have had. It came out with a good amount of lettuce, and salmon. It has 1 small slice of tomato and less a half a cup of black beans on it and that was it. I asked for jalapeños but didn’t receive them until about 25 minutes later after asking 2 other people for them. I was already done eating my salad. For $18 I would think you would get more than. 1 small slice of tomato and the very little of black beans. I was seriously shocked about the lack of substance to the salad. I won’t be back, sorry. I have tried this place many times over the years and I get disappointed every time. Just not worth the price.

Address: 225 3rd Ave N, Safety Harbor, FL 34695 , Safety Harbor , Florida , United States
Amazing work! He saved my vintage 12 string from near destruction. Played and sounded better than new. All for a great price too.
RIP Charlie, we all are missing you. One of the finest.
Charlie is the best luthier there ever was, bar none! Experienced, creative and practical at the same rime. He also has a fine collection of fine stringed instruments. Lots of old and very old Gibsons and the like.
