The 49 best places to go out in St. Petersburg

Service was slow but not bad. The view was awesome even at night. It was pretty windy and chilly but still enjoyable for an early March evening. I would to come back when it's warmer too really enjoy this spot. They also had a live artist who was really good.

My boyfriend and I recently visited the Canopy for the first time and it was phenomenal! We decided to sit at the bar which was nicely shaded. The bar fans allowed the perfect amount of breeze to keep us cool, but they weren’t aggressively powerful either! Our bartender/server, Christian, was very attentive and always made sure our drinks, including my water, stayed full at all times. Huge plus!! He was very knowledgeable with menu items, too, when we had questions on what we should order. As I’m 6 months pregnant, I asked about mocktails and he provided a mocktail menu containing 4 different drinks that all sounded delicious! I went with the strawberry social which was SO refreshing! My boyfriend ordered an espresso martini which was beautifully crafted, and he said tasted perfect. As for food, we ordered the fried pickles (lightly fried, crispy, and delicious), chipotle chicken tacos (the flavor in the chicken was insanely good, and I usually don’t like spice but I couldn’t resist these), and the barbacoa wontons (my boyfriend crushed these in seconds lol they were so full and flavorful. I wish I had taken a picture of the inside). Safe to say, we will definitely be back to try more mocktails, drinks, and menu items! Hopefully Christian will be working again, too, as he really made our experience one to remember.

Great spot to enjoy a late afternoon with loved ones and friends. Came here with my wife on a summer Saturday, we arrived around 6pm to see the sunset. Unfortunately the sun sets behind the hotel building, but we enjoyed the Eastside view nonetheless. Drinks are good, beer is cold and the view is stunning -- what else could you ask for?

Incredible rooftop with amazing views of the bay and pier DTSP. The food and cocktails are delicious and surprisingly affordable. Great spot to meet up with friends or go along and makes some. Highly recommended.

Makayla was amazing! She kept our drinks full and brunch was delicious. She was super attentive and so friendly. Would come back just to see her again! But also the food was fantastic!! Got the cheesecake French toast and the brisket Benny and both were fabulous!

Great place to stop by for fantastic views and "okay" drinks I say. My experience relates to the great servant, whose name was Allison.!! She was our bartender. Very dedicated, courteous and perceptive. Thanks to her I retrieved my bracelet which slipped off my wrist imperceptibly. I was already downstairs out of the elevator when I heard her call, and moments later saw her downstairs holding my bracelet. Nice, caring person.! Thank you Allison.

We always have the best time at Birchwood!! The views are incredible, the service is always amazing, I have had Abi a couple times now and she is always so sweet and gives us the best drink recommendations! Also highly recommend trying the truffle fries!

Me and my husband love coming here. It's always a good vibrant vibe, and it's fun. The bartenders know their craft and drinks are on point. The decor is rustic and really cool. Went for New Year's and then went back a couple weeks ago for St. Patty's. If you are a bourbon/whiskey drinker, this is a good bar to visit.

The legendary tub photo at Mandarin Hide is a MUST! The drinks are worth it ! The crowd at this bar in st Pete is always a good time ! I recently was a photobooth operator for a private event and the hospitality of the crew was astounding! They made sure every guest drink was perfectly crafted and made sure every one’s request was accommodated! I am highly recommending this spot for all my clients private parties!

Almost got in a fight with some chicken legged boys from NY but the staff and libations here were both proper and brilliant. Seating was super comfortable, lighting reminds me of Seattle (Ballard) haunts; which I like. Its seating was both minimal and adequate - keeps the focus on your company and cocktail. Strong but small selection of proper Mezcal -staff are slightly cocky but I prefer knowledge over stupidity so it’s a win in the end. Thanks for the cocktails,

I love the vibe of this place. Music is awesome and prepares gorgeous cocktails, my favorite one...the old-fashioned. Besides, the decoration of the bar enchanted me!!

Best post hurricane cocktails. It’s an old school place, knowledgeable bar tenders who can make any drink. My wife ordered a bartenders choice and got a banger of a drink. I channeled fall and ordered the Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini, in their finest available drink ware.

Mandarin Hide is definitely one of my favorite spots in downtown St. Pete—a must-stop every time! The vibe is unmatched, giving that perfect mix of intimate lounge meets lively energy. (It gives the feeling of a bar that, if Chuck Bass—yes, from Gossip Girl—owned, it would be a speakeasy with a private adult club in the back lol) The bartenders are top-tier—attentive, fun, and always on point with recommendations. I got their espresso martini with tequila (normally comes in a not cute glass, I just request mine in a martini glass, and problem solved). Best vibe overall, hands down.

Best amaretto sour I’ve ever had in my life! Espresso martinis are amazing as well. Good vibe. Ben is an amazing bartender

No food which kind of sucks. Drinks are really expensive BUT it has a great atmosphere, right on white sand, some beach games and the bartenders…friendly, on it and easy on the eyes. 4 starts solely for price of drinks - can easily find cheaper drinks in St Pete on the beach elsewhere. Video of bartender was taken with her permission as she performed this upside down shot service.

We found this beauty on a Google search so drove the one and a half hours to get to it. We had no idea we couldn’t park there so parked up the road. Upon arriving, we couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome by Cara. She is the daughter of the owner and they built the bar many years ago. It’s the coolest bar. Full of character and water running through the counter! You can play games or sit outside on the most BEAUTIFUL beach in the world and watch the dolphins in the water, followed by a breath taking sunset. They have another bar next to it which is an outside beach bar. We had a day on the beach and loved it so much, we booked 3 local suites and stayed the night. We were back at the bar today and the staff were equally as attentive. The bar doesn’t serve food but they are happy for you to order in and eat there. Thank you so much for making a travelling family from the UK feel so welcome. P.S - Picture attached of Cara’s party trick! Haha.

This place gives your liver a workout! Great vibe. Watching the sunset is spectacular.

Extremely Disrespectful Bartender Experience – 9/4/25 Night Shift We visited this bar on the night of September 4th, 2025, to celebrate my friend’s birthday with a group of about 10 people. We spent well over $1,800 throughout the night, tipping 20% or more on every single tab. We came to have fun, spend money, and support the bar — but one bartender completely disrespected us and ruined the experience. At one point, we asked the female bartender working that night to slap my friend and hang from the bar pole — just something fun for his birthday. She did say there would be a charge, but never told us how much until after she did it. Then suddenly, we’re hit with a $100 charge, which is absolutely excessive and ridiculous for something like that. To make matters worse, she entered that $100 as a tip on the receipt — not as a service or fee — but a gratuity, which is misleading. Naturally, when we saw a $100 tip already added, we didn’t leave anything extra. And because of that, she complained — and then refused to serve us for the rest of the night, accusing us of not tipping. That’s outrageous, considering we had already left generous 20%+ tips on every previous order. We even asked her to pull the receipts, and they all clearly showed our tips. We know how this industry works, and we always tip properly. She flat-out decided we weren’t worth her time anymore, and when the other male bartender was busy getting beer or ice, she stood there doing nothing, completely ignoring us, even though she knew we were waiting. Her attitude was unacceptable — cold, entitled, and unprofessional. We couldn’t help but feel like we were being profiled, Why else would we be treated so differently after spending over $1,800 and tipping well all night? Thankfully, the male bartender working with her was the complete opposite — professional, kind, and attentive, even while juggling restocking duties. He did a great job and deserves recognition. If it weren’t for him, we probably would have walked out a lot sooner. And here’s the real issue: this kind of behavior is financially damaging to your business. We were a group ready to come back every Thursday — we loved the music, the vibe, the atmosphere. But you think we’re going to return with that type of employee behind the bar? No chance. One person like that can drive away loyal, high-spending customers and ruin your reputation. Unless that woman is the owner herself (which would explain the arrogant attitude and poor judgment), it’s hard to understand how she feels entitled to treat customers that way. And if she isn’t the owner, then whoever is should really think twice about the type of people they’re trusting to represent their brand — because she’s not only hurting your customers, she’s hurting your bottom line. She is costing the business money, profits, or future income

Giving y’all a 4 because I love coming there but my friends and I don’t come often because there’s no parking anywhere. Not everyone can afford to always uber and some people like driving. Please allow more public parking near by I promise it would bring in more customers! Beautiful bar and beach though. :)

Undertow is a hidden gem. We came here to enjoy some drinks while watching the sunset. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We got freshly made pina coladas, they were so good. The bar was fairly busy, but had plenty of room for us to sit and enjoy the beautiful views. They have a lot of fun games you can play too. The prices can’t be beat! The bathrooms were nice and clean too. We will definitely be back. @living.with.reg

Location is the first thing to love about the Undertow Beach Bar. Two separate bars to choose from serving up great cocktails. Very limited food menu...like snacks. Plenty of T.V's to catch all the games on. Rubber ducks float on a stream of running water carved into the bar. This is something everyone remembers. Cheers 🍹🍸🍷🍺

You definitely will catch a vibe here! The atmosphere is electric but in a subtle calming way, like like sinking into a warm bath after an exhausting day. The entertainment was awesome and played a wide array of past and present hits ( also a lite tribute to The Great Chuck Mangione) The service and drinks 🍸 were great and in a timely matter! I definitely recommend the Habiki 17 Japanese whiskey. This is also a cigar bar so if smoke bothers you I recommend the patio.

I didn't eat. I went to see Jazz virtuoso Tony Castellano and have a couple of drinks. This block has tons of bars and clubs but only a few offer live entertainment. Ruby's is one of them and as far as I know the only one that has jazz on a regular basis. Alot of local talent showed up and sat in with the second band. It was a genuine jam session. I had a great time and met alot of great people. This place is a gem amongst stones. Don't miss Tony either. He plays there fairly regularly. It's not just a jazz club. They feature other music on different nights. If I lived here this would probably be my place.

This was a great place to hear some fantastic music on a Sunday night. Great crowd, spilling outside, the same band plays on Sundays, The Family Funk. A nice fusion, jazz, funk and what a great atmosphere to enjoy it all! It was a busy night with only 1 waitress on the floor, but she was hustling and keeping everyone happy! We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday and she went the extra mile to make it perfect. What a nice surprise, highly recommended!!

Carter is fabulous! She's a star. The biggest star this place has ever had. I've been coming to this address since 2008 (I think)when Ruby's was a storage room. Tad and Trey are refreshing too! Employees everywhere need to understand that we (the customers) are the reason they are there at work! No patrons, no tips, no job. The man who works the Ruby's side, security -- he is so horrible. If he's going to engage with patrons he needs to learn how to speak to them. We the customers are also the reason he is there!!! He needs to find a different job where he doesn't interact with the public. What is his problem!!!?? So many people complain about his attitude and energy. We all understand he has a job to do, but BE NICE!!!...or at least professional. He is neither. He is ruining the vibe. His attitude, demeanor, tone, etc. are unacceptable. Please replace him. He is affecting your business and clearly doesn't care. The crowd is talking about him CONSTANTLY! Nothing good to say. I observed him treating customers AND even the individual band members / entertainment, rudely!!! Please address this.

I moved to Saint Pete 10 years ago and Ruby’s Elixir was the first bar I went to (Ella Jet was performing). I had such an amazing experience and it seems to be getting better and better every time I go. Great music, drinks, and amazing service… I especially wanna give some love to Benny, who (in my opinion) the star at Ruby’s. He’s always making sure that I’m taken care of and receiving the best service. I look forward to the next time I come in… Because I know my experience will be just as great if not better. Keep doing what you’re doing… You guys are amazing!

I love going to hear the live music here especially on weekends nights… lately the guys at the door has been professional and make sure my family and I feel safe. We actually came back Monday because we had such a good time. Feeling safe is very important in this day and age! Thank you for taking such good care of us patrons.

Ruby’s Elixir is hands down my favorite bar in St. Pete — a place that oozes soul, character, and good vibes from the moment you walk in. The live music is always on point, the atmosphere is electric yet laid-back, and the drinks? Top-tier every time. But what truly makes this place unforgettable is Benny, the best bartender in Florida. Seriously. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just need a cold beer and a friendly face, Benny’s got you. His energy is infectious, his pour is generous, and his ability to make everyone feel welcome is unmatched. He doesn’t just serve drinks — he creates an experience. If you’re in St. Pete and haven’t been to Ruby’s Elixir, you’re missing out. And if Benny’s behind the bar? Consider your night made.

Nestled in a resort hotel, this beach bar is a hidden gem. The laid-back atmosphere instantly puts you at ease, perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. The sprawling deck offers breathtaking views of the beach, creating an ideal backdrop for sunset cocktails. What truly sets this place apart is the live music, adding a vibrant energy to the relaxed setting. The staff are attentive and friendly, ensuring prompt service without disturbing the casual vibe. The food menu, while not extensive, offers tasty options that complement the drinks perfectly. From fresh seafood to classic bar bites, the quality is consistently good. Whether you're a hotel guest or a local, this bar is a must-visit for its ambiance, views, and overall experience.

If you are looking for beach, drinks, live music and maybe a rando link…this is your spot! The food is not good, I would only eat here if you have to. I had fish tacos and they were like fried fried, no fish. But everyone was having a good time, people dance in their swimsuits to the live music.

Absolutely loved our time at Jimmy B’s Beach Bar in Saint Pete! The atmosphere is unbeatable, with a laid-back vibe that perfectly complements the beachfront location. Live entertainment keeps the energy up, making every visit a fun experience. The food is delicious, with a great variety to choose from. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or just some tasty snacks to go with your drinks, Jimmy B’s has you covered. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic time by the beach! *It did take us a 'minute' to find the place and parking. We had to park behind a 7-Eleven and walk across, which wasn't bad at all. Then you have to walk all the way through the hotel and go to the back in order to find it; just as a helpful hint for anyone that didn't know that ahead of time like we didn't. It appears you can also walk right off the beach up there, but we were coming from somewhere else.*

One of my favorite moments and places I visited in Tampa. The staff were truly kind and attentive to all needs. They managed the large crowds of customers with ease and provided excellent service and hospitality. The food and drinks were soooo good!! The options and were endless. I really loved how close the beach is to this restaurant. The restaurant has walkways built onto the beach. The sunset was gorgeous at this location and made the experience that much more pleasant.

So damn happy they reopened!! Holly, the best bartender there, took awesome care of us as we lazily enjoyed the day away. Waves, great music, great food and cold beer, you CANT go wrong!! I almost don’t wanna write this so more people don’t come!!

Live music, great views, and a ton of people around having just as much fun as you....lots of energy! The service is good and the food is decent. The experience is terrific. Not especially kid friendly unless they like loud music and drunk dancing.

I think what’s difficult about this place is parking! The area for the hotel is small and nearby is all tow away zones. We almost gave up! And then you walk through the hotel lobby to get to Jimmy’s, which feels weird but I guess it works. We aren’t locals so all of this felt confusing. Overall once you’re there and settled it’s ok, live music, and okay service.

Morgan needs a raise! Coconut Charlie's is fantastic. My partner got the grilled chicken sandwich and even that was full of flavor and fresh bread, unlike others that are bland, this was so yummy! Service is wonderful and the bar faces the beach and it's beautiful. Live music even on a Sunday night was so romantic. What a great place.

We loved Cassie on our 1st two visits. Unfortunately we didn’t get the other bartenders names, as it was the weekends and they were busy, but still very attentive. Food was great especially the chicken club and pizza. Drinks were great as well, watch out for the Rum Runner, it sneaks up on you.

Melanie was great!!!! Fast friendly and very attentive! Great with recommendations as well. We will def be back thank u girl for making our luncheon a great one ❤️

We ate at the Grill side which is located at the front of the hotel. You validate parking at the hotel desk. The beach bar had live music and our dog doesn't like drums. My wife had the special - grouper, scallops, coconut rice and asparagus. I had the rigatoni primavera and my daughter had blackened chicken alfredo. We all split parmesan truffle fries. The portions were more than enough for us and we're not sure if we were all not hungry or if they were just generous, but we took home a lot of food. Everything was delicious, the only critique would be salty asparagus, but it blended into the rest of the food just fine. Our server was amazing, 0 flaws there.

This is a fun place to get a drink and have easy access to the beach. Plenty of outdoor seating and mostly shaded. Had the Mahi Mahi tacos and a Pina Colada and enjoyed both. Our server, Joanna, appeared very busy that day but she was very attentive and friendly. The only thing we didn't really like was how loud the DJ had the music playing. It made it hard to have conversations at our table of 4.

Fun place connected to the Hilton with beach access. Beautiful furnishings and amazing palm trees. Live entertainment most days on the patio. Food was good. Drinks refreshing.

U ONLY GET FREE PARKING IF YOU SPEND OVER $50!!! (Lol does not say that on the sign anywhere!) Waitress was horrible. We asked for water many times and she didn’t come until I had to ask again. When asking her to validate our parking pass (which was $60) after ordering two Miami vices she refused to because we needed to order “‘meals” I’ve never heard of that. We just wanted to walk the beach with our drinks. Horrible experience. Go to PCI or another beach nearby. It’s not like we came and sat down for a Pepsi. We ordered two alcoholic drinks. We thought it was beyond rude as were locals. Her name was Joanna. We then ordered salsa and chips to go so we can make sure we “spent enough” she came back and told us we aren’t allowed to do that and we need to at least spend $50. Which by the way we spent $44 including her tip. This behavior is ridiculous. We will never come back! Just know there’s a spending minimum here of at least $50 lol. To just park at the restaurant and enjoy a drink. Unbelievable. My friend has been here and said that was never a thing.

Be aware if you’re not a regular and/ or a local, they’ll invite you in just to check your ID, let you order something, pay, tip, then kick you out before you can even start to consume the most likely back washed drink (thanks to the bartender) for the reason of “ no one knows you” regardless of them checking my ID and not having an issue about me before their tip. I had just moved to the area of course they don’t know me. What a way this was to say new comers are NOT welcome especially after I drove 40 mins to try this place out. Oh also their bartender drinks straight out of the liquor bottles they serve the guests! DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I went for the first time on Halloween 🎃 and it was amazing. Awesome staff great drinks and an our of sight environment for me and my Freeda Mae! Thanks guys, oh yeah prices were affordable and food was 5 star.

We took our dog Boujie here to give him some meaningful experiences before he passed of cancer. We said goodbye to him 09/26/25 and though we miss him dearly, we look back with gratitude at his days mingling with the other dogs at the Dog Bar. The staff and patrons were exceptionally kind to him and we always had a good time. Thank you.

Such a great experience. Got to talk with some other dog owners and made new friends. The long haired French bull dog named Grace fancied my hubby. Our lil chihuahua was a bit jealous of her.

🐾 I’ve been coming to Dog Bar since the day it opened, I was actually the fourth person to walk through the gates! Even though my dog is now reactive and can’t come anymore, I still spend a lot of time there. I love that bar more than most. It’s such a special place, great people, great energy, and truly one of a kind. 💙

🐾 Calling All Dogs & Cats loves being part of the Dog Bar family! We’re so grateful for everything they do — from hosting Bath Day each month to always supporting rescues and local nonprofits. Their commitment to the community (and our furry friends!) never goes unnoticed. 💙🐶 #DogBarStPete #SupportLocal #CallingAllDogsAndCats

I personally prefer my drinks without all the dog hair, but I suppose that's to be expected. No way I would eat food there, although I'm sure the food trucks are outstanding and we will go back but will probably get food on our way home. Wish there was a way for it to smell better... definitely kennel scented. Drink prices work great and everybody working there was wonderful!

Music was good. Drinks were very good too but this place is horribly dirty especially the bathroom it was 9pm when I used the girls bathroom and there was throw up all on the sink the the toilets had pee all over it. Staff should be cleaning these bathrooms regularly. The throw up seemed like it’s been there a while .

Keke and Miranda made my entire night!! Their energy was amazing from the moment I walked up to the bar — they were so friendly, fun, and on top of everything. The manager was also lit and kept the whole vibe up! They seriously made me the best drink I’ve ever had, complete with a candy pop on top. I’m so freaking excited I found this spot. Great service, fun atmosphere, and the kind of staff that makes you want to come back every weekend. 10/10 experience!

The Parmesan truffle fries are to die for they’re absolutely spectacular as well as the signature cocktails. I highly recommend the candy girl. My best friend and I go on Tuesdays for trivia and we have a blast every time the bartenders and workers make it feel like home and we’re all friends. We will be coming back every Tuesday for our routine of trivia and tequila it’s so so so much fun 😎 Brandon is the best bartender I’ve ever had we love him so much!!!

One of our favorites and must stops in st Pete! Always good vibes x bartenders and workers are a VIBE and so friendly! Put this place on your destination list next time you’re your in St Pete 🥰 plus they have awesome little plates (like who doesn’t like a plate of milk and cookies when you’re out 🤭)

Such a fun and cool bar with cornhole, pool, volleyball, games, ect! Great vibes and fun place to meet people! Miranda was amazing and a stunna! Can’t wait to visit many times!

Absolutely love the atmosphere of this place. They serve my FAVORITE drink of all time, the 3 daughters seltzers (specifically the rootbeer float). The bartenders are super friendly. Great place to start the night, go on a first date, or play some games!

Great drinks, great games! Nikki and Miranda are the great! Miranda was an awesome bartender, very friendly and down to earth! We will definitely be coming back!

That such a wonderful, welcoming place could be dreamt up and succeed in this unassuming courtyard is a testament to the attention to detail of ownership. You want great music, generally for free. Check You want great beers and wine at a reasonable price served through regularly cleaned keg lines. Check You want access to a community of people that frequent and love the place. Check. I could go on, but what I can tell you is that if you want a great place to hang, and have a great time/ then you have found it.

A great selection of draft beer combined with experienced, knowledgeable bar staff makes this the prime spot for beer and music.. The bottled DF 120 was very fairly priced and finding Allagash and Chimay on draft made me happy. One warning: Plan to walk, uber home.

All hail the A&W,! Best beer bar in DTSP. If you're a beek geek seeking variety this is your spot! Live music sporadically..Good vibes always. A quiet pub for community & conversations 😍🍺💞 love Brett & the staff. They make sure you're having fun. All that x a bag of chips. NO Kitchen

This is a gem of a spot tucked in right don't. Music is really fantastic, the vibe is great. Beer selection is vast, much of it on tap from local (and not so local) great breweries. Do not miss this stop if you love music, great beer and positive vibes.

It is a great beer pub with a wide selection of brews and friendly service. Small space but has a very large outdoor courtyard with live music every evening. Each evening is a different style, so check the calendar to see who's playing. Small selection of food, mostly snacks, but other vendors around the courtyard also offer food.

A little dark & dive-y, but a great beer selection. Love the Wednesday night bluegrass jam!

Wide selection of beers from all the local brewing companies. Priced at 7-5 dollars a pint. Good live music with some good local bands. If you want drink and relax at the same time this place is it.

Wanna know why no one is here? 22 bucks for 2 Jack and cokes lol come on plus the dude bartender wasn't good. 😂 Won't be back

This place is an amazing time but the water dispenser gave me moldy water… Do better to hydrate your customers.

First time there last night. Were told by the guy managing the mechanical bull, he needed a $50 tip for him to let us ride. This was after we filled out the waiver, nobody was riding so we asked when we could go. When he responded that, we walked right out the door next to him. Won’t be back. Walked a block down the road and had a blast at Welcome to the Farm. There’s a reason we could walk right in to this place and had a half hour line to get into the other place.. loser employees will ruin your business. Owners need to pay attention.

The only reason this review is low is because of the extremely rude and weird DJ. Went with a girl group on 07/19. Staff was super nice and accommodating, bartender was so cool and nice (didn’t catch her name but brunette with long hair) and the mechanical bull was a very fun touch. They had a bouncer managing the stage (who was also very very nice) to the DJ that was taking requests and me and a couple girls waited in line and went up and when I requested a Hank Williams jr. song the dude literally shooed me away with his hand and was like unreasonably rude. First of all what kind of country bar doesn’t wanna play Hank? And second of all why are you even taking requests if you’re gonna be so dismissive and pissed off when you get them? Even if he didn’t feel like it was the vibe or whatever just be like ok! And then don’t play it? No need to be a weirdo about it. Very off putting dude and he also kept playing weird terrible pop country music.

Terrible. do not waste your time here. The manager should be removed. He is incredibly disrespectful to everyone. Update: Still no changes. The “bouncer” that sits near the exit should be replaced. Not a good image for the “bar” or DTSP.

How can you not like hanging out at a place with an electric bull?! Lots of good times while listening to live music having drinks and building courage to ride the bull. Popular place to visit while venturing downtown St. Pete

The big man is rude for no reason. Insecurity, battling inner demons maybe? Idk but he told me and my friends to stop smiling what an odd Individual.

Awesome place! Great service by friendly beautiful staff. Drinks are excellent. Often has live entertainment and I’m loving the outdoor space in the heart of St Pete. They stole the show on Pride parade Saturday. Highly recommended.

Great spot to enjoy cigars, mainly outside, with a lively atmosphere. They offer a variety of live music, adding to the experience. Perfect for people-watching while sipping on whiskey or wine.A classy yet relaxed spot in St. Pete

Great live singers! The vibes are definitely what you're looking for at this place. Indoor or outdoor, the drinks are excellent and the food is great. Not much of a cigar selection but who cares, you're in a prime location to people watch or vibe out on great live music

Popped in because of the live music drawing us in, wonderful acoustic singer. Had a Bittered Sling and a High West flight along with a Carpaccio that my bf said may be the best he's ever had. Sever was great & we just loved the atmosphere here. Great place to sit outside & enjoy the beautiful night!

My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and had a great time. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Amina and Liv, who were exceptionally friendly, professional, and hard working. The old fashioned was very tasty! We only had drinks so I can’t speak for the food but the atmosphere was classy and relaxed inside with a live band playing outside.

Nice spot with inside and outdoor seating options. Went on a Sunday afternoon and relaxed inside while listening to some live music. Our waitress was very polite and personable. Recommended a few drinks my wife really enjoyed. I ordered a Sazerac , a beer, and an E H Taylor small batch bourbon neat. Did not eat here but the bourbon and drink selection were spot on. I recommend giving it a try as we would recommend and return if we were back in town here.

My favorite place to kick it and enjoy great music and even better cocktails. Steve, Bella and Anthony as make all feel welcomed and make one of the best bar staffs in St. Pete. Cheers to Flute & Dram!

Aaren is an awesome bartender! I had a phenomenal drink infused with THC and Lions Mane mushrooms, absolutely delicious and the bar is extremely cool.

A Hidden Gem in St. Pete – Saigon Blonde is a Must-Visit! Saigon Blonde quickly became one of our favorite spots during our first trip to St. Pete. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was effortlessly cool and welcoming. The cocktails? Simply phenomenal. If you’re looking to unwind, I highly recommend trying their CBD-infused drinks—they’re both unique and incredibly relaxing. A huge shoutout to Aaron, the incredibly talented mixologist who crafted a few custom vodka-based CBD cocktails for me. The “Dragon Lady” was a personal favorite—smooth, refresh, and beautifully balanced. If you’re more of a bourbon lover, definitely ask Aaron for his take—it’s his liquor of choice, and you can taste the passion in every pour. Yes, we drank more than we probably should have… but no regrets here. The drinks, the atmosphere, the service—it all made for an unforgettable afternoon. We’ll absolutely be back!

Good cocktails! We had the Asain Rose & the Saigon Samba. Saigon Samba was solid. Fun times!

Went there for weekend mid-day cocktails and it was great. The drinks we had were part of their speciality cocktails and it was cool seeing ingredients common in Asian cooking are flavors in these cocktails. The bartender was quick making these drinks, they looked gorgeous and tasted even better. Tropical/jungle vibes with the decor, with ambient mood lighting the deeper you go in. Can imagine this place being busy during peak times at nights on the weekend. Parking available at garages a few blocks down, with limited street parking down Central Ave.

Me and my partner own the Royal Tot tiki bar in Charlotte. The menu is a little Gin heavy for a Tiki bar. We tasted 9 drinks from the menu but there is a wide variety. Some we liked, some weren't our jam but all of them were mixed well. Good bartenders (Cuba and another bartender that knew what she was doing), heavy pours, great DJ, great vibe, cool spot. Wish the second level was open but we came in Sunday to Monday late night. Great spot, great crowd. Will definitely come again the next time we are here. We know what goes into it. Keep up the great work!

I recently visited this place...to start my vacation off on good vibes. I loved the music, the people were super cool, and the bartenders were super friendly and kind! Prepared me fabulous cocktails! I had a fantastic time!

Probably my new favorite place EVER! Definitely making it on the list of best rum old fashions and overall best vibe. Went on a busy Sunday downtown during the races and it was very quiet. Enjoyed getting away from the hustle and bustle of the busy street. Bartender Tiffany was awesome and very personable. Offer some drink suggestions and chatted with us a bit before we cashed out. Music was super low key and chill. Atmosphere was awesome and there was a LOT to look at. Fun and funky drink wear. Comfortable seating and some couch areas to spread out and relax. Two bar areas for times. Also have some CBD drink options as well.

Out of this world experience. The museum has so much of Dali's artwork, that you feel completely immersed in his creativity and part of his own unique and unfamiliar universe. If you're in the area, I highly recommend setting aside half a day or at least a couple of hours for the visit. Also, the shop has a wide selection of beautiful gifts and souvenirs.

The Dali Museum completely exceeded expectations — surreal, inspiring, and so well presented. You can feel the creativity in every corner, and the staff are super knowledgeable. The building itself is a work of art. Highly recommend taking your time to explore!

Salvador Dali Museum in St Petersburg was an excellent tribute to a fascinating, perhaps controversial artist. Staff were friendly and helpful, there was plenty of parking during our visit on a Sunday, art displays were neat, and the using the app for the narrated tour is highly recommended. At the time of our visit, there was a very well done tribute to van Gogh which we opted to watch as opposed to the Salvador Dali screening, which I'm sure would have been quite good as well. The snack / coffee bar was perfect for the visit. The murals section was an interesting addition, and the interactive street art photo booths were fun. Highly recommended overall.

One of the most interesting and entertaining art museums I’ve ever visited. There are unique AI driven interactive exhibits throughout that are very fun. There are countless originals of Dali and some cool AR features that allow you to better see the detail of his work. The gift shop has a lot but for some reason it just let me down a little. Also a great little cafe. Highly recommend doing the extra cost for the video in the dome.

The Dali Museum was so artsy and amazing — like walking straight into someone’s wild, beautiful dream (and possibly their subconscious). I only had a couple of hours to explore, which is basically a crime against art, so I’m 100% going back before I leave. Also… that espresso? Life-changing. I’m not saying Dali himself whispered inspiration into my cup, but I’m also not not saying that. Next visit: slower pace, more surrealism, and definitely another magical espresso.

Fabulous museum with an impressive selection of Dalí's works, amazing to be able to see. Don't skip the cafe with us beautiful soups and coffee drinks. Top notch all around!

What a fun experience, with some interactive pieces (such as the phone and street art portraits), as well as many interesting works to view. As soon as you enter the space, you are surrounded by whimsy and work that begs you to linger and contemplate.

Awesome spot right on the water, very Florida-esque! They have a large menu with many different seafood and non-seafood options. Lots of drinks to choose from - both your standard drinks and a lot of frozen beachy drinks. I love that they have tons of outdoor seating with umbrellas. Service was very quick once we were seated! Cornell was so nice and knowledgeable and really made our experience a 10. All of the dishes were delicious and very flavorful. The sweet potato fries were some of the best I’ve ever had.

Great spot in St.Pete for waterfront view! Food was delicious and we didn’t have to wait for a table during dinner rush! Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. It started to rain when we were sitting outside and they kindly let us move tables, even helped us move tables! without hesitation before it started pouring. The food here was delicious and fresh, I enjoyed the shrimp and calamari. Definitely a pleasant experience to eat here and will come back again!

Celebrated my sister Annie's birthday with my husband last Saturday night and had a fabulous dinning experience. Our server Danis was exceptional in every way and the food spectacular. Of course you couldn't have a better view of the gorgeous St Pete beach and ocean. Highly recommend the Cedar Plank Salmon and Yucatan Shrimp. Danish surprised my sister with a brownie desert for my sister perfect ending to a delicious meal.

Overall, a great experience. My grandmother was visiting and wanted a grouper option, and their macadamia nut–crusted grouper stood out right away. We planned to go around sunset as a group of four, and while we thought we might need reservations, the wait was only about 10 minutes. We even ended up with a window seat to catch the sunset, which made it even better. The restaurant has a big dining room with plenty of seating, so it seems they can handle groups of all sizes. Menu options were solid with really reasonable prices. Most of what we ordered was delicious. The grouper was a hit, and even the clam chowder was great. The only plate we didn’t care for was the flatbread; it came out more like a big cracker—very thin and crunchy, not our preference for a base. Our server was attentive, friendly, and kept checking in, which made the night go smoothly. Food came out in good time and overall was really enjoyable. The only downside was the mojitos—they honestly tasted like watered-down lime juice and weren’t worth it. Everything else though was spot on: good food, good service, great view, and great prices. We’d definitely go back again, just skipping the mojitos.

Excellent food and service! If in St. Pete, Doc Fords is a ‘must visit!’ My favorite part is how many gluten-free options they have available. We sat outside and it was absolutely gorgeous. They have fans on so even in the warm weather it feels pleasant. Service was fantastic, no complaints whatsoever. Beautiful view, delicious food (lots of options) and fantastic service! If I’m in the area, I’ll definitely return.

Thank you for an amazing experience, Becky! We ordered the blackened chicken sandwich, which was absolutely amazing. It was served with a very spicy room alive that was just out of this world however, I opted not to put it on. My sandwich was a little too spicy. Also, the paella was fantastic. Lots of seafood and had really wonderful balanced flavor. The service was incredible! Thank you!!

The crab cakes and the Pina Colada were top notch. I'd visit again just for these two items. I tried the Yucatan shrimp. The sauce was great. The shrimp were overcooked. I also had the grouper sandwich. It was cooked well, but had absolutely no seasoning. I was a bit disappointed by this since the sandwich was $30. I recommend this spot just maybe don't order the grouper.

It’s a nice green space with some interesting plants, flowing water features, and a nice retreat similar to other places of that era. If you want some beautiful scenery and wildlife, it’s a nice choice as a regular retreat if you live in the Bay Area. We got a good deal for a family membership so it’s nice to pop over and walk around for an hour or two as one of the few places to get some green around here. There are a couple of shady open areas with astroturf that are good for the kiddos to play. Otherwise there’s not much going on other than looking at things and relaxing. A nice option if you have visitors who love plants, or want something sedate, but mostly just a stroll and relaxing kind of spot.

This was a lovely experience and a great look at old Florida! The plants were beautiful and there was a great amount of information. Plenty of opportunities for cute pictures and we got to see a fair amount of wildlife as well. I felt tickets were well priced for the amount of time we spent and what we got to see. I also thought the gift shop was great. There were lots of cute things for someone looking for a souvenir from St Petersburg!

Escape the city without leaving the city. This garden transports you into a lush tropical oasis. Surrounded by vibrant colors, calming sounds, and layered textures of cascading landscapes, you can meander the blissfully winding trails for hours. Stop by the flamingos to see them dance in delight at feeding time. The Macaws and Tuscan show off their vivid colors at their own exhibits throughout the property. Other special sightings include butterflies, a kookaburra, tortoises, and turtle. The garden also provides ample opportunities for photo ops and has a gift shop as well.

A nice afternoon activity if you need to get out of the house. The place is huge so you will still find quiet corners even with a lot of people in the garden. Personal favorites/ highlights - Koi pond - Flamingo’s - A rainbow tree - If you are wondering what in the world resulted in this huge garden, there is a history center to give context If traveling with kids or older people- The only restrooms are in the visitor center. There is also a kids exploration center which seemed interesting. The ticket to this place for adults is $15, (note that they are raising it to $18 from oct 1,2025) which I felt was steep. They offer discounts if you are AAA member or VA. Overall, it’s a good afternoon activity if you want to get out of the house Plenty of parking is available at this place.

I'm so glad we finally got a chance to go. This place is breathtaking 😍. Trying to navigate with the map is kinda tricky. There are not a lot of restroom. I liked that we could pack our own lunch, so we had a nice picnic on the lawn. They were also setting up for wla wedding which looked very beautiful. I actually got to see the stunning bride. They also have birds.

What a wonderful place to visit. If you have any interest at all in exotic trees, please visit this place. Sunken Gardens has been around for a long time and has some great history. Beautiful blooms and natural architecture of the plants and trees will WOW you. They also have some birds and turtles on site. With a nice little gift shop. For those who are interested for the kids also attached to Great Explorations.

What an amazing garden tucked away in the heart of St. Petersburg. An easy trip off I-275, Sunken Gardens is definitely a treasure of a find and a must visit for those living in the Tampa Bay area. Sunken Gardens is arguably a Tampa/St. Petersburg staple for visitors that would love to see what the local area has to offer aside from beaches. For starters, you can find some neat deals for the Sunken Gardens on value sites such as Groupon, although the general admission fee is relatively reasonable compared to the aquariums, zoos, and other parks in the area. We found an annual family membership on Groupon which is pretty neat considering the perks that come with it - free admission to some popular museums during certain months, as well as reciprocal admission at other gardens (you can find a list of those on the website, while a more accurate list of this program is available with the main kiosk). There is free parking on site; the lot is also shared by the children's museum, Great Explorations. While there appears to be plenty of parking, I would recommend getting to this venue earlier to get a prime spot and to be able to stroll at your leisure without feeling too crowded in. Sunken Gardens is one of the smaller gardens we have been to as we travelled across the nation, but do not let it's small size fool you. There is plentiful flora that grows on this piece of real estate that will amaze you with their natural beauty. What makes Sunken Gardens unique is that it showcases a vast variety of palms, leveraging the temperate weather of Florida for the growth of these specimens (you won't find these up in the Northeast). Aside from the palms, there are various areas that are gorgeously arranged and curated to bring out the best in each plant. We definitely took our time to enjoy the trails that looped through the garden - there are also unimproved paths that are also accessible for viewing. Sprinkled throughout the garden are also a variety of beautiful birds to include a sanctuary for some flamingos. There are several bridges that cross some bodies of water, one of which hosts gigantic and marvelous koi. All-in-all, there are plentiful areas and spaces to explore within the garden which makes it such a wonderful garden. I highly recommend Sunken Gardens to everyone!

Fun spot right on the beach! They have live music most days and indoor/outdoor tables. Huge food menu and virtually any cocktail. We have the peel and eat shrimp and the loaded fries. I am not exaggerating when I say that the loaded fries were probably one of the top fries I've ever had! Highly recommend stopping in for a drink and an app.

Visited Bongos for lunch. Sam was terrific, giving good suggestions and providing great service. We ordered the Rum Runners, Nachos, and Cuban sandwich. This was the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Drinks were well made. Great beach views.

There is a small open parking lot just outside of the hotel. But you have to go into the parking garage for more parking. They have live entertainment, which was. Wry good. There are two bars. There is bathroom access from the parking lot just downstairs. It’s not air-conditioned, but I do have an attendant making sure that it is clean. They do have seating in the sand so you can feel the sand through your toes while you eat. Service was good. Acknowledge you pretty fast even though it was busy. The food’s presentation was good. I thought it was going to taste very seasoned, just perfect. I tasted the fish and thought okay it’s seasoned, this will be good. However when I ate it all together I was surprised at how bland it tasted. I don’t know how that happens. The side salad wasn’t really a salad. 🤷🏽‍♀️ It wasn’t bad I would go back. I went and took picts at the beach while I waited for my food.

Nice place right on the beach. Staff were all awesome and accommodating. The food was much better than I was expecting. For some reason I wasn’t thinking a beach bar would have good food like they do. The beer was very cold. The frozen tropical drinks were delicious but pricey. I would definitely return.

We got married at this hotel in 2004 (14 years ago) and had our rehersal dinner here all those years ago. My how this place has grown from a small outdoor bar with a few tables to an awesome multi bar venue with tables way out into the beach. Most expansions in transient areas feel like tourist traps, not this one. They did a great job. The scenery from just about any table is amazing with beach and water views everywhere. Food and service was great. Drinks weak, but tasty.

Wait staff was very attentive to needs and orders, very kind, polite, and friendly! Our appetizers were delicious and well proportioned for the price. The nachos are enough to feed four(4) people easily and very good. We never saw the bottom of our cup before another drink was delivered. I would definitely recommend and return!

Amazing sunset views. Loved the bar and umbrellas that cover you from the sun. Great place to get some good American food or drinks. Fun place for the family

I went on free Duke day. I needed to go. I was excited to see Thor. Also to re-read all the details. Each time you go you will learn something new. Found the yiddishism's delightful, as it is officially a dead language if we don't keep it alive. Looking forward to the use of the new terrace. Quite the location nowadays. Parking is tricky. Now I need a bagel.

Our tour was coordinated with the Eight O'clock Theater during rehearsal for and in preparation for Cabaret. Our guides, Maureen Murphy and Jennifer Bell were phenomenal. The experience is heart wrenching, somber, beautiful, important, and (somehow) still filled with hope and heroes. My (former) neighbor is featured in multiple exhibits which brought an extra element for me. I've known her story for decades but seeing and hearing it in the museum brings it to another level. It's an emotional and heavy experience that I absolutely recommend to everyone. History is important.

Wow, what a museum full of an abundance of history and information. There is a lot to read at this museum so heads up there. Also leave your purse in the car or be prepared to check it at the ticket window.

Very informative. There is a lot of reading. The visual effects were both generally striking and heartbreaking. There were also some recorded survivor statements. I thought this was well done for a regional museum. However, because it is just a small museum, it certainly could not compare to the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, which I visited on a number of occasions.

Very educational and powerful exhibits. So much to learn from this museum and unique exhibits displaying individual experiences. My 4th grader read "Number the Stars" and "The War That Saved My Life" in school this year so it was valuable for her to learn more of the history behind her books. My 1st grader appreciated certain aspects of the museum, but didn't have the awareness to fully appreciate it. I'd love to go again without my kids in tow. The staff were amazing and very helpful. They had a sign that they will be starting renovations soon. I'd love to come back after those are completed!!!

A smallish and important museum. The stories are tragic and touching. The second floor exhibit was especially nice, although that part seems to change. This time, they had the "We Share the Same Sky" exhibit, which featured a granddaughter's look at her family history. We were able to get in for free using library passes, which was nice.

It's hard to explain until you go. I have seen news stories and read stuff online about the holocaust museum, but going has a huge impact. It's very informative and covers a heck of a lot that I never learned in school. I was very surprised at the lack of direction. This is a huge building and the interior has a lot of open space...and there are arrows, but not nearly enough for all the twists and turns inside the museum. ... and no idea which way to go on the second floor. Aside from but that, the displays were clear, if repetitive, and the information was way more involved than anything I had learned before.

TRYST is hands down one of my favorite spots to unwind and enjoy some incredible house music. The vibe is always on point—the DJ knows exactly how to keep the energy up all night. The service is just as impressive as the music, with a staff that’s friendly, attentive, and fast. I have to give a special shout-out to Maddi at the bar—she’s phenomenal. Super personable, always on top of things, and mixes up some of the best drinks I’ve had anywhere. Maddi definitely adds to the reason why I keep coming back. Highly recommend TRYST if you’re into house music and want a night out with great people, great vibes, and top-tier service.

Best hookah experience in town by Dima! The atmosphere is relaxing, the service is excellent, and the hookah quality is top-notch. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a great night out!

Excellent spot DTSP for a bite and a drink. I love the house music vibe in the evenings. You can’t go wrong here and sometimes they throw a showstopper party like last Saturday. Nice!

If you’re ever at Tryst, do yourself a favor and sit at the bar with Madison. She is, hands down, one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly personable. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does—she makes you feel welcomed and taken care of! Her drink recommendations were spot on (seriously, trust her judgment). We will definitely be back! Tryst is lucky to have her!

Before walking in, I hadn’t heard much about this place nor had certain expectations, but I walked away completely blown. They have about 25 beers on tap with most of them being a craft in a wide variety. I got the chicken kebab dinner with the tomato cucumber salad and the chicken was moist and delicious while, the cucumber salad was unconventionally yum. The people next to me were splitting a nice Greek Middle Eastern platter, which would be great head. I’d not been there by myself. They have ample seating inside as well as outside.

Cool vibes right in downtown St Pete. Outdoor seating and an outdoor bar. Inside is quite cozy serving up great drinks with an eclectic menu. Service was excellent as was the food. Big selection of draft on tap and they even have Tito’s on tap.

Always treated kindly here. My dog, Rosie, and I are always welcomed. They gave us shelter last summer during a late night storm. We know if we get caught in the weather, they will let us in. The manager and staff are the tops! Try the chicken salad lettuce wraps @ 14$ great deal for Beach Drive. I get 2 meals out of it.

Overall…. not bad! The Five Bucks Stacked Chicken sandwich & Buffalo Chicken salad were both very good and can highly recommend these :-) Not so much for the Loaded Sirloin Philly - just ok. Not loaded with steak. Quite onion-forward :-/ However, it was excellent service and a fun sidewalk location!

Went here on St. Patrick’s Day, and while the food was just okay, the cocktails were great. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our server was incredible—super attentive, fast, and somehow kept up even as the place got packed. When we first sat down, it wasn’t too busy, but that changed after a while. Even with the rush, drinks came out quickly, and she checked in on us without us ever having to flag her down. Honestly, just watching her handle that crowd was impressive.

So got off early decided to get to go food. Totally different from the menu. A pastrami sandwich is a layed sandwich pictured on the menu.. sad this is a what ever mixed fried mix sandwich.. Totally disappointed when I opened it up.. Let's toss some pastrami on the grill toss some cheese and bread with mustard.. Not what is pictured or even a sandwich Sad

Super sweet staff, comfy elevated seating (great for people watching), super clean kitchen, tasty food from cooks who clearly care, bartenders are sharp, servers listen, your focus won’t be distracted with negative energy from staff or patrons. A clean dive denotes a long history which I absolutely don’t mind throwing money at. Thanks for the clean buzz and tasty bites.

My wife and myself and a friend where in St Pete for the weekend. There are so many restaurant choices but I'm doing research I ran across this one a really liked what I saw on the menu. I got the famous Drinkery Fries. They were so loaded down and delicious they were amazing. I especially loved it when you would hit the pockets of blue cheese. My wife got the Texas Burger. She said that it was hands down the best burger she ever had. Out friend absolute enjoyed the spicy beef tacos. This will be a must to return the next time we are in St Pete.

Fabulous and fun! The servers and bartenders are fantastic (Katie and Aubrey in particular)! Literally every single time I’ve been here they go above and beyond to ensure you have a full drink and anything you might need to enjoy your meal. It’s dog friendly outside and has a cute inside area as well. Love their frozen drinks!! When it comes to food- I recommend the cheeseburger sliders, quesadilla, pretzel with queso or chicken bacon ranch wrap!

First time being at this bar and I had the best drinks and service from Grace and Darian both. They made it such a great experience and recommended their favorite things on the menu which were so good. Me and my friends will definitely be back!

Food wasn't really hot, tater tots good but cool. Food was ok. Didn't see much of our server but in his defense they were very busy the view is amazing, the breeze was wonderful. Be aware they do add 20 percent to the bill for service.

Noah, Nick and Mama D were amazing. Service was great interaction was great and they anticipated our drink request before we even asked. Mom D offered us different garnishments to try and just made us feel welcomed and special. Definitely rate this as a 5+ and will be coming back.

It's not often I give a place 5 stars across the board.. WOW, when on vacation you get stuck in the kitchy places. This was beyond excellent. I looked at the price for appetizers and thought well, what the heck. So, so good. Lobster Chorizo Empanadas and the Sui Mai were off the chain. Drinks; Mai Tai and Pina Colada were both excellent. You have to stop in if your even in the remote vicinity. I have to say on our trip, this was the best bite of food and drink we've had.

Ron was the highlight of our evening and one of the best bartenders/servers we’ve ever been taken care of by. After finishing dinner downstairs at Teak, we came up for a quick drink and ended up having a memorable experience, all thanks to him. Ron was very insightful in helping each of us find the perfect drink based on what we liked. When he mentioned the souvenir tiki cups (which we had completely missed on the menu), we were immediately intrigued. He went above and beyond by bringing over multiple cup options so we could pick the ones we liked best — a small detail, but it made the experience that much more personal and fun. He was super attentive, refilling our waters while we lounged and enjoyed the amazing view. Most bartenders/servers might move on, but Ron made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He even offered to clean our souvenir cups before we left — another touch of service that you almost never see at a bar. If there was something we needed, Ron was offering to take care of it before we could ask. To top it off, he made sure we were aware of the 20% automatic gratuity, which we really appreciated. He was so humble and professional when I insisted on leaving an additional tip — and he definitely earned it. If you get Ron as your bartender/server, you’re in for a great experience.

This place is breathtaking! A must see if you are in St. Pete's. The restaurant gets busy so you should probably make reservations. We were lucky to get a window seat and saw dolphins! Then we went up to the rooftop. The view was amazing. I will definitely be back! 😍

Okay, the food is genuinely delicious but you get very small proportions for what you're paying because it's a little bit more of a pricey place. My review isn't going to be very fair because the clientele that this place usually attracts are people who have a higher amount of money. The alcoholic drinks are delicious and will definitely buzz you, and I just got to say I love the atmosphere and there are DJs that come and play music once in awhile. Looking out at that water is amazing experience.

Absolutely beautiful spot! It was very busy and a little unorganized in my opinion. No hostess, seat yourself but it was so packed it's difficult for the staff to see new people sitting. Maybe put a hostess and assign a waiter or waitress. Other than that small grip everything else was nice.

$15 bottomless mimosas and the best part was that they brought me a full glass of champagne and 3 different juices: CRANBERRY, ORANGE, AND PINEAPPLE allowinge to control the amount of juice in my mimosa. I don't care for them to be super sweet. Every place should do this - BIG FLEX!!!

8/31/25 stopped in for lunch, 🥪 yummy, reasonably priced food! Mom got the potato 🥔 skins, I got the Polynesian chicken wrap with the fries 🍟 and sauce, tasted great! Music was perfect too! Emo, rock! 🎸

This is a lively bar in the Central Avenue strip of bars with indoor seating and TVs, and outdoor seating on some higher stools and standard height chairs on the outdoors bar. Can't go wrong here with their take in nachos with huli huli nachos and chicken wings with 5 sauces served with ranch or blue cheese. Pretty good service today. Wheel chair accessible eatery with wheel chair access restrooms. Pay by app street parking fills up fast so check out paid parking garage. Be aware that this is a full smoke zone

I’m here every Thursday with my best friend for nugget bingo and it’s always a vibe! We’ve quickly become regulars and loveeeee all of the staff. Football usually draws in a pretty big guy crowd though so can we do something to bring the ladies in?? I use to come every week for nooner Thursdays and the girls were everywhereeee.

Saturday afternoon around 3pm, We were just walking by when we decided to stop here and have a drink. Lo and behold, turns out it was happy hour BOGO! In addition, they also have $1 oysters...yep, that's right $1 oysters!! We had just left an Italian restaurant for a late lunch so we were way too full to eat anymore, but rest assure, we'll be back to try the oysters. Definitely a nice place with a good vibe and Highly recommended!

I'm here every Thursday with my best friend for nugget bingo and it's always so fun! We've quickly become regulars and love all of the staff. Football makes it a majority guys though, so I’d love to see something happen to bring more women into the space! Maybe ladies night on Thursdays?

Went to the bar and waited five mins to get served. Came for happy hour special to be overcharged because I open up a tab. I had $15 on my card. I went for bogo deal 2 for $7 for this incompetent bartender check to say I don't have money. So I go to bank account and I see $ $12 deducted. They said when you open up a tab they hold $25 buck. You think you would tell a person that but no because they overcharging or taking advantage of person over there own past experience. Then she call the cops why because I'm black. I will never go this racist establishment again

Omg… I just had the best coffee martini ever! This place is absolutely wonderful — cool, chill jazz music and an amazing vibe. What really sets it apart is the staff: attentive and always making sure everything is just right. I rarely give 5 stars, but this spot truly deserves it.

Always an absolute pleasure to come to this St. Pete staple of a coffee shop + cocktail bar. Their espresso is top notch and they do an *excellent* job with their espresso-based drinks as well (Lattes, Cappuccino’s, etc). They always have really creative seasonal drinks that always hit the spot and encourage you to try new drinks. For cocktails, the happy hour is an absolute steal and their liquor collection + skilled bartenders makes for some of the best cocktails you can have in St. Pete! The staff is always incredibly nice too!

I needed a cocktail and little “pick me up” in preparation for the St Pete Pier drone show. My GF and I had an amazing time at the soft opening of Bar Mezzo, and we were told we had to check out their original sister location. This was perfect. Barista/bartended PM was incredible. The rum punch, old fashioned, and vanilla latte were world class. It’s been a long time since I had a great latte, and this is just what I needed. The prices are a steal for this area. Most importantly the service is what sets this place apart. They are efficient and friendly with attention to detail and super cool vibes and music. This is a must stop if you are on this part of Central Ave.

Every bite of the Croissants at Intermezzo was an experience I won't soon forget! We took them home to eat and omg. So light and fluffy on the inside, and there had to be a hundred crispy, flaky layers of pastry on both the chocolate and butter croissant. If you like croissants, you have to try these. Every croissant I've ever had before these were mediocre at best.

"Intermezzo: Where Espresso Meets Existential Crisis and Day Drinking is a Lifestyle Choice" Let me tell you about Intermezzo, the magical café/bar/temple of caffeinated enlightenment where you can start your day with a lavender latte and end it with a cocktail called Bedroom Music — which, let’s be honest, is also the name of the playlist you’ll be making after two of those. First of all, the vibe? Industrial chic meets botanical speakeasy. Everyone here is either working on a screenplay, doing a remote coding session, or pretending they understand the difference between Kyoto drip and cold brew (spoiler: I ordered both and just got really anxious in HD). Now, the drinks? Let’s break it down: Coffee Menu: You haven’t lived until you’ve had the Honey-Lavender Latte, which tastes like a beekeeper and a yoga teacher collaborated on a cloud. The Kyoto is basically iced coffee that studied abroad in Japan and now insists on being called "artisanal." And don’t sleep on the Banana Cream Cold Brew — it's like your childhood banana pudding ran away to Brooklyn and came back caffeinated and edgy. Cocktail Game? "Bedroom Music" is what I call my third personality — Italicus, aperitivo, and sparkling wine? Yes please. It’s a citrusy, herbal daydream that had me flirting with a fern. “His & Hers” features Japanese whiskey and jasmine soda and tastes like sipping secrets at a rooftop garden party. And the Caffe Mezzo? It's vodka, espresso liqueur, and chocolate bitters — in other words, therapy in a glass. And then there’s Zero-Proof Cocktails, for when you’re detoxing but still want to feel mysterious. The Vacation Club had me believing I was on a beach in Mykonos instead of aggressively eavesdropping on a crypto bro Zoom call next to me. Summer Menu? Caffè All’Arancia is espresso, orange zest, and cardamom — it’s what would happen if an orange grove and an espresso machine fell in love during a Wes Anderson movie. Matcha Mint Refresher tastes like a spa day with benefits. I drank it and immediately forgave my enemies. And Summer Breeze? Light, gingery, coconutty. I ordered one, sat on the patio, and convinced myself I was the main character. Final Thoughts: Come for the coffee, stay for the cocktails, get existential about your life choices somewhere around the Carajillo, and leave knowing you’ve just been to the place where caffeine and class collide in the most delicious way. Intermezzo isn’t just a coffee shop — it’s a lifestyle, a mood, and probably a future tattoo idea.

One of my favorite spots for coffee and drinks. The best espresso martini. Also love their patio

Intermezzo is hands-down my favorite coffee shop in St. Pete. Their coffee is consistently perfect, rich, smooth, and clearly made with care. The homemade syrups are the kind you actually taste the quality in, not overly sweet, just balanced and thoughtful. There’s something about the atmosphere that feels like a little Italian café dropped right into the heart of St. Pete. It’s relaxed but elevated, full of energy but never rushed. It’s the kind of place you can start your morning or wind down with a cocktail and feel completely at home.

I had a wonderful experience at the sold out Jessie Reyez concert at Jannus Live. She completely owned the stage, and the crowd’s energy matched her vibe perfectly. The sound and stage setup were incredible, and the atmosphere felt very safe. I arrived about 50 minutes before the doors opened, stopped for a drink and some water which weren’t overpriced and still got a great spot. The line moved quickly, security did a great job checking my wristlet and ID, and they even passed out water. I really enjoyed myself and would highly recommend this venue. It’s in a great area with plenty of spots to eat before or after the show. Definitely an 11/10 experience!

Jannus is an awesome outdoor venue! The sound is excellent and the setup is fun. Right in the heart of downtown st Pete surrounded by restaurants bars and awesome spots to check out before or after the concerts. Prices aren’t too bad for food and drinks $$ Great venue that holds about 2k people!

Went to Jannus Live to see the legendary Acid Bath. Very cool venue, and big shout out to the bartenders and venue staff. Great location with plenty of hotel and food options nearby. Not much seating so wear comfy shoes. The ground is uneven, watch your step, especially if you've had a few adult beverages.

Very cool venue with great bar staff. They hold some pretty big names on a significant stage with plenty of floor space to enjoy the performance. Honestly found this place to be better than expected. Had a great time!

1st time at Jannus Live for a concert to see Barrington Levy. Great atmosphere, the sound was really good, drinks were eh, but I wasn’t there for the drinks. Excellent view for the value of the ticket. Totally open venue but there are some covered areas, and they also served pizza. Easy parking in local garages.

Jannus Live is truly a gem among outdoor venues, offering an intimate atmosphere that enhances every performance. The vibrant energy of the crowd combined with the enchanting backdrop creates a magical experience that lingers long after the final notes fade away. Hosting legends like Peter Hook and The Light, also known as New Order, is a testament to the exceptional quality of the events held here. Their performance was a breathtaking journey through sound, filled with nostalgia and electrifying moments. Thank you to both the venue and the artists for providing an unforgettable night that I will cherish forever!

First concert I've ever been to. The venue felt personal. We were so close, few hundred people there, it was a blast. Can't wait to come back.

When I tell you this is the BEST BAR ON EARTH! My favorite place. I’ve had so many amazing nights here. Bartenders are always friendly. Drinks are always strong and the drag shows are iconic. A must see if you are in st Pete! I seriously can’t even put into words how much I love this place 😂🥹🥰

I had a great time in this place. Great music, as well as the drinks. I want to say a big Thank You to the manager because accidentally I left my cellphone and went to another location. When I noticed that I missed it, I returned, and he kindly asked me if I'm the cellphone's owner and returned to me. I gave him a big hug!!! There are still honest people in this world!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Great gay bar in St. Pete, that has been open for 11 years. Managed very nice as being the bar tender.

They don't have fun but the day drinking aspect was a lot of fun. Met some new friends while chilling outdoors and people watching downtown St Pete. Loved it

Nice establishment, good bar staff, cool events, a staple in st.pete. Considered a gay bar, but welcome all walks of life. Nice interior design, pool table, dope events. I'd check it out if I were you.

I didn't have anything to eat but I met a few friends for some cocktails. So, it was a great atmosphere. Great service, good time.

Literally so much fun. Dancing and good music in a small but cozy space. Bartenders and even security are very kind. They accidentally bumped into us and we dropped our drink and they immediately replaced it. Drag queens and the whole experience ♥️♥️♥️

This place rocked!!! Especially for a Sunday afternoon (what?!) Had never been here, we mobbed in with our party of 20 and the music from the jump (70s/80s) was on point with the lit up 70s style dance floor! Everyone had a blast, bar tenders were friendly and fast, no complaints, wifey even said "we have to come back"

We Loved the atmosphere at this place. All source of happy people dancing and having fun around. Great service, great music.

Love this place! Being a bartender I actually don’t go out to bars very often these days, but I stumbled onto this place a few Sundays ago and was super impressed! All of the bartenders are cool, but JuJu really ties the place together. It’s a whole vibe! Definitely my go to when I do wanna get out on the town. Probably going to be the place I take friends when they visit as well. Do yourself a favor and stop on in lots of cool other bars on the strip too so you can kind of pop around!

Everything about this place is amazing! I went to their grand opening and got the hint right away to go dressed up in 70’s 80’s attire for a GREAT TIME. The decor, the drinks, the staff, the cleanliness. Now that this place is so popular, I wish the dance floor was bigger. No where to move. Maybe too many people let in at once?

I was at this club last night celebrating my friend’s birthday. Everything started off great—we got a nice spot with a couch and chair, ordered drinks, danced, and were having a good time. We spent a lot of money and expected good service in return. Unfortunately, things took a turn. Two security guards—a short man with glasses and a taller man in an orange shirt working the back door—approached us very rudely and unprofessionally. They forced us to leave our area, which we had been occupying for a while, without explanation. Later we found out they had sold our spot to someone else as a VIP area. We were not even offered the option to pay extra to keep the area. My friend, who is handicapped, was with us, and we had no choice but to leave the club entirely. It was also extremely hot inside, and the drinks were overpriced—double what we paid at the club next door. The music was okay, but overall the experience was very disappointing. I won’t be coming back. also want to mention that my friends is Black and Spanish, and we couldn’t help but feel discriminated against during this entire ordeal. I will not be returning, and I sincerely hope the management takes steps to address the unprofessional behavior of their staff and improve their treatment of guests.

This bar was awesome. We paid the $20 per person cover charge so we didn’t have to wait in that long line around the corner and down the street. The music was fantastic. We were upstairs in the VIP type area so we could move around better. The lights were bright and trendy. It was cool vibe and everybody was having fun. Definitely wouldn’t recommend going back there again. Super fun place to party hard.

I give it 4 stars because it is so crowded and they have a huge section for seating that you have to pay to sit at. This bar gets so crowded it is not even funny. The dance floor is completely packed. There is an upstairs balcony with a bar. It’s two doors down from Janus live and it’s where the old ringside used to be. This is a 70s disco and the 70s would not be the 70s without one of the most iconic memorabilia, Farrah Faucet poster. It take up the entire wall. It’s a lot of fun but expect to wait in line to get in and you will be packed in like a sardine, but it is a blast! Don’t forget your bell bottoms

We stopped in because I saw it was a speakeasy concept. Also loved the dress code idea. Was with my wife. You walk into a laundry mat looking place. Pick the phone and type the code in to open a hidden door for the club. Smaller intimate setting with not a ton of seating. Nice bar and bartender was nice and made a good Dirty Martini. Beer is cold. A little pricey, though I must say for what it was.

Really cool place!! The singer Najibo was amazing and she did a wonderful job. I loved picking up the phone and pushing on the secret door. Drinks are a little pricey and there is not a lot of seating but other than that we will be coming back. The two pictures I’m posting won’t spoil any surprises.

This place is so much fun! The outside is a coffee food bar with great service and friendly funny staff! Then once you get into to the secret rooom just wait and seeee what’s behind door number 2! A good time to be had!

The entry to the lounge is super cool! They make it east to access. It's fun and interactive too! The decor set the tone for a great vibe. The menu matched it perfectly. Very impressive mojito selection. The breakfast sandwich and Yucca fries hit the spot. They also have the best selection of local beers I've seen at a bar/lounge of its type. The whole experience is a lot of fun. Be sure to take your out of town friends when they visit!

Amazing experience! The place is a little adventure nook tucked away in downtown St.Pete. great drinks and live music. They serve a delicious cuban sandwich. Perfect for a girl's/guys night out. Date night!

Collin is the reason for the 5 stars!! He made some really great drinks. The kitchen was closed which was unfortunate. However Collin went above and beyond to make sure our drink experience was everything. I will definitely be back to try the food.

This place could be so much better if they maintained it. We went last night and roaches in the bathrooms, missing toilet seats, drinks were okay, the bartenders were really friendly and why we stayed a little longer, the music finally got better. Fix the bathrooms please and thank you :)

If you live within a 100 miles of the postcard in but gone there yet there's something wrong with you. The place is swinging all weekend long with great DJ music, a wonderful, private beach, volleyball courts, tiny. But comfortable rooms and marginally good food. And what a mix of beautiful human beings unlike any other place on planet Earth.

We can’t say enough great things about PCI! The beds are comfy, the food & drinks are delicious, the sunsets are beautiful and the customer service is outstanding! From the moment we checked in until we departed, we were treated like family! We arrived later in the evening and were greeted with fresh chocolate chip cookies! The “Tinsel Town” experience was so festive and fun and definitely put you in the mood for Christmas! The lobby was warm and inviting and decorated beautifully. They even had a larger curling type game set up near the front desk. Once we got checked in, we headed to the bar to try one of their new holiday cocktails! Their menu was filled with themed snacks and delicious drinks like the Polar Express and the Mistletoe Mule. The atmosphere in the courtyard and the tiki bar is one of fun and friendship! The layout makes it easy to start up a conversation with your “neighbor” and encourages a sense of unity! There is so much to do at the hotel, but if you choose to venture out, there is a lot to see and do within walking distance. If you want to go a little further, Postcard Inn offers complimentary bicycles. Our entire experience was fantastic, but it was made even better by the wonderful customer service! Diego immediately recognized us from our prior visits and made sure we had everything we might need for our stay. Once we got checked in, Peter stopped by the room to help me finish inflating my paddleboard. Dave was fantastic at the pool and served up delicious sundaes and listened to my crazy ideas… lol. Finally, Solomon consistently goes out of his way to make sure every customer feels like an old friend! He is by far THE BEST BARTENDER on the beach… if not in the whole country! This was our 5th visit to the Postcard Inn at the Beach and we already can’t wait to go back!

I give this place a 10/10. Best place in the area. Great location. Always packed with people if you’re looking to be social. They have two bars between the pool and the beach! A little expensive, but what do you expect, you’re on the beach. They have DJ’s on the weekend to give a good vibe. 4 volleyball nets! And they serve food. Big pool with lots of chairs. Nice rooms as well. But the best thing is the breath taking view you get of the sunset. Come here if you’re in the area!

My review cannot be fair, all the breakfast buffets closed, all the inside bars limited hours. Covid restrictions in place. Great location for bringing pets. Very dog friendly atmosphere. Not facing the beach but directly on the beach. Pool is nice, clean. Pool nor Beach is dog friendly but no one seemed to mind when we walked a bit down the beach with dogs after dark. Loud music plays continuously from pool area which blocks noisy barking dogs too. We would definitely go back with pets. Nice Beach Area. Coffee shop in hotel. Walking distance from food and large beach shops. Make sure you disclose all pets. We have three dogs and it was allowed with prior permission.

We went here for a quick break from the beach, and a snack. Food was great, and they had a dj playing house music which we love. Will be back tomorrow!

We had the most relaxing day at the pool with a frozen drink in hand the entire day! The bartender was just as amazing as the drinks! He recommended us where to eat for dinner that is walking distance (Snappers...and it is a must try!) and had all around great hospitality!

Great fun was had by all. Wouldn’t take the young kids here though unless you’re going to the beach. Definitely a younger crowd vibe. 20’s-early 30’s

Trevor is an amazing bartender! He’s very personable, helpful, and creative. This was my first time in and it certainly won’t be my last. Amazing drinks, fun music, and cute vibes! Even for a Monday it was still buzzing and enjoyable

One of my favorite go-to bars! Been coming here since they opened and I never have a bad time! The place is decorated with 70's vintage furniture vibes. Very spacious, but it does get busy! Never had a bad bartender or a bad drink - always great service and great drinks! They have live music a lot and open mic night with very talented people! They have a little dance floor with a disco ball if you want to boogie! The only downside is they only have 2 bathroom stalls so there is a line on weekends when it is busy, but doesn't stop me from going here. It is a fan favorite in our group of friends. Mix crowd with all ages - just reflects that everyone enjoys this place no matter your age!

Friendly bar staff, awesome drinks and super cool vibes at this 70’s themed bar make you feel like you’re being served in your friend’s living room! The pornstar martini is their flagship drink but I say try the singapore sling

Trevor is amazing! We begged him to put Sinners on for movie night and he did! We really appreciate his caring vibe!

Came for one drink with a friend on a Sunday afternoon, had a great bartender Josh and nearly the whole bar to ourselves. Definitely will be back for more Sunday Spritz

I’ve been here a lot and usually enjoy it, but some of the bartenders are unreasonably rude. One night, someone slipped something into my friend’s drink. I told the bartender and asked for a replacement rum and Coke. He said, “Fine, but I’m charging full price,” then gave her the wrong drink (an old fashioned) and lied about it. I was a bartender for five years—I know the difference. Worse, no one asked what the guy looked like or seemed interested in removing him. They didn’t care. Just because it’s a gay bar doesn’t mean women are automatically safe, and clearly this staff/management isn’t taking that seriously. Be careful here.

Super fun! Trevor is an amazing mixologist - great place to stop for a cocktail or two on a night out in St Pete

Greetings, Special time!!! They have a great DJ and cocktails. (Hence the 1 star) The only alibi is that you have to get your mixed drink next door. Not too bad though. Except for when you are there late at night and you order one drink and the bartender attempts to charge you for 4 drinks instead of one even after explaining that you ordered just one and she decides to call security on you for no reason except that her con didn’t work out right… Avoid this joint. It’s just flashy and directed at minors with flashy lights and music. Don’t spend your money here if you are looking for a good time and dancing time with your loved ones. Go to Good Night Johnny Boys instead.

This bartender did the worst service to me . someone spilled my whole drink on me after i clean myself I went back. To the bar and I asked if I can have new one i explained the situation to the bartender…. She just gave me a look and super rude response, that’s not my problem !! I asked her nicely again and then she roll her eyes on my and gave me a drink without alcohol…. I’m a bartender know when you just give cranberry juice without alcohol I know how it taste not stupid !!! I left the bar and then the bartender harassed me and chased me saying bad words and being racist

The only reason I’m giving 3 stars in because of Lily. If I wanted a double for when you’re doing bogo I would’ve asked for it. Don’t just automatically start charging people, it’s slimy. She needs to start asking, happened to me multiple times now when im ordering two drinks.. other than that good place

I recently explored this estate for a local party event, and my experience was disappointing from the start. The bouncer at the door displayed strange, unfriendly behavior, which set a negative tone for the evening. While the staff behind the desk were friendly and attractive, the overall atmosphere quickly soured. The security team was overly intrusive, making the environment feel unwelcoming, and the lack of women among the patrons added to the intimidating vibe. The small bathrooms only amplified my discomfort. My worst experience came at the bar. After ordering an expensive tequila on the rocks, I watched in disbelief as a bartender took my drink and discarded it, replacing it with a cheaper option without explanation. Her attitude was cold and unwelcoming, lacking even a simple greeting. Observing her interactions with other customers confirmed that this was a consistent attitude, which is disheartening. The only highlight was the bathroom attendant, Jazzy, who was genuinely nice. Overall, I found the venue uninviting and would not recommend it. They need to work on creating a warmer atmosphere to attract guests.

Last night, my family and I spent over $1,000 on a VIP table to celebrate my nephew's 21st birthday, only to have our evening ruined by the head of security, Javian. We had a large group that included my nephew's mother, grandmother, uncles, cousins, and friends. The issue began when my nephew, with innocent intentions, approached a woman on the dance floor to ask her to dance. She declined, and he respected her response. When he tried again during the next song, she became unnecessarily rude, treated him with disrespect, and even threatened to have him removed from the club. I intervened, calmly explained it was his 21st birthday, and we left the situation to return to our table. Ten minutes later, Javian approached our group and accused my nephew of inappropriate behavior, claiming "a group of four people" had made complaints. I was with my nephew the entire time and witnessed everything—nothing inappropriate occurred. Despite my calm explanation of the events, Javian was dismissive, rude, and confrontational. He refused to listen to reason or even consider the truth, instead choosing to rely on baseless accusations. Javian's behavior was unprofessional and appalling. He abused his authority, ignored the facts, and disregarded the efforts of other staff members who tried to intervene on our behalf. His actions not only ruined a special night for our family but also left us feeling disrespected and robbed of both our time and money. I understand security often has to make tough decisions, but this was not one of those times. Javian’s inability to handle the situation fairly and professionally reflects poorly on the club as a whole. I will not be returning and strongly urge management to reevaluate the type of person they entrust with such responsibility.

On first Friday of the Month night, while every other place had a huge line and not that great of music (mostly rbnb), this place had no line, still a $20 cover but it was worth it! The music was awesome (mixing some older and new hits with party/ EDM) with lights and some smoke with cooling effect The floor was very sticky and like all over though

The estate night club and event space plays some great house music and has some great dj's! Definitely worth checking out if you’re Downtown St. Pete!

The views are amazing, as this unique restaurant slowly turns in a 360 motion! You get breathtaking views of the Gulf & the Bay areas. The food was a 50/50 for us - Lobster Mac & Cheese was excellent. The Kale Cesar salad great. The Salmon dinner was not good, with a terrible piece of fish, rice was lacking. The side of asparagus was fresh & tasty but the side of Brussel were over cooked, over saturated with sauce & not edible. Overall, you can not beat the view, the service, drinks & most of the food was good.

Perfect place for anniversaries or a birthday. Reservations advised. We valet parked at the Bellwether hotel and took the elevator up. Such a beautiful restaurant overlooking St. Pete Beach. The restaurant takes about an hour to make a complete rotation. I definitely recommend the grilled octopus, chicken with rainbow carrots and chocolate tort for dessert! Great service, food, and atmosphere !

Came for a special occasion after years of waiting to visit. The view, as you can see in the video, is amazing, probably the best around for miles. The food was really good, and service was great. It was expensive, but considering the novelty of eating in a top floor, spinning room - the price didn't seem entirely unreasonable. Only slight disappointment was there was no acknowledgement of the special occasion even though we'd mentioned on the booking and to our server a number of times, but everything else made it special enough.

My husband and I ate at spinners on our wedding night and every anniversary after that. He died 3 years ago, so this year I brought my sister. Our server was fantastic and brought her 3 different delicious gin drinks (she challenged him to surprise her) our food was really good and really filling! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu and you'll never beat the ever changing views from the roof as you dine.

Been planning to go here for awhile and finally went. Absolutely loved the atmosphere. Very fun and beautiful dinning concept. 360 sunset view of the beach and the bay was just a wonderful experience. Food was good, quite expensive for the portion size. Our server, David, was very knowledgeable and attentive. He’s a very good photographer as well! Might go again for another special occasion.

What a disappointment!! Food was mediocre my lamb was way over cooked. The chicken was dry, it's like they drenched the meat with gravy to make up for the dryness. Our bill was $180 & so not worth it. So we got there at 7:30; It took 30+ mins before we got our appetizer. I lie to you not it was 9pm before our meal was served. Crazy thing was they weren't even busy. I did read a few reviews prior to going, but I wanted to experience it myself; from my personal experience the food, the service and the atmosphere didn't match the expense whatsoever! I'm really confused with the folks giving this place a 5 star it blows my mind. I'm so annoyed we spent that much money at this place and didn't even enjoy it not one bit. We will not be returning.

My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary dinner here. It was very special and unique with the constantly changing views and the view of the beach at sunset was beyond breathtaking. We initially had our reservations about the spinning platform as we assumed we’d get motion sickness, but we barely noticed it moving. Our waiter was amazing and the service was impeccable. He even took nice pictures of us. The focaccia bread was soft and the olive oil dip paired nicely with it. The quality of the food is justified with the price. All the food was very high quality. My sunset mule tasted great. My husband enjoyed his chicken and my fish was cooked perfectly. The waiter made an excellent recommendation with the citrus cream sauce which I enjoyed. Our dessert was also delectable. Overall, we really enjoyed our anniversary dinner here and it was a great experience. Reservations are also a must here.

Campground is beautiful with large almost private sites. Wildlife provides for great photography. Mosquitos were abundant so bring repellents and protection. Bath houses could be updated but are clean and functional. Washers and dryers available. Fishing from shore and nearby bridges and pier. Biking trails. Boat launch close by. Some recovery still going on from Helene and Milton but they have made huge progress. Roads through some areas in campground with huge potholes, be aware when moving coach to and from the campsites. Will visit again for the areas culture, beaches and value for the stay. Lots of restaurants, stores over the bridge. You will not be bored staying here.

One the most beautiful beaches I've been to. Not crowed at all and 2 piers one just for fishing no extra cost. Lady at fishing pier little store is super nice.

Is a beautiful park either so much history and wonderful nature. There is picnic places all over the area. There is plenty playgrounds and parking spaces there is a space for all types of adventure and activities, we go fishing, on family parties, water is beautiful and clean and you can always see different things like cruise 🚢 going out . Is my family favorite place

Fort De Soto is an amazing place to visit… beautiful beaches, clear water, and plenty of space to explore. The park is clean and well-kept. Plenty of restrooms throughout the park.

One of the most underrated parks in this area. Never have to fight for parking. Ample beach area to fish, layout and plenty of picnic tables for families to enjoy gatherings.

Very large beaches, shallow water kind of clay ish sand. The walk from the parking lot you want to take at a job or get covered in mosquitoes. The walk to the pier however was breezy and bug free. Beautiful view of the sunset. Watched a few dolphins busy fishing. Even saw an approximate 4 ft shark come up top to eat some of the thousands of fish in their huge schools. Many of the fishermen were leaving with full buckets of caught fish. We saw multiple vessels and a margaritaville cruise leaving the bay. The pelicans and smaller birds were fun to watch as they dive into the water to arise with their meals. Nice visit with a $6 parking fee.

Beautiful beaches. We walked the old fort after swimming. Even though it wasn't used in the war, it is still very fascinating to see in person. The water was beautiful and the sand was soft and white. Found tons of pretty shells and sand dollar pieces. Will definitely be going back!

The team wonderfully plays. Their nachos are yummy and a perfect baseball food. I am very excited receiving a ball signed by the Major League Baseball commoner. I enjoy eating Nestle dibs crunch ice cream bites. I wish to find baseball earrings. I enjoy petting the sting rays. ⚾️ 🎉

I’m a baseball fanatic and I’m going to every stadium. This journey was a little disappointing but had some good points. The game itself was exciting but the stadium is old and showing its signs of needing to be replaced. It’s very outdated, instead of walking around a stadium I felt like I was in a hallway of a school or something. The vending area had the best feature and worst feature both, best feature is you get your souvenir cup and fill it yourself, refills and everything, that is super great. The worst feature is the ordering process. No humans just little kiosk pads, you get the ticket out of it after you order with your number but then you wait in another line to hand your ticket in to a person then wait even longer for your stuff. It’s horrible, people waiting on food block the kiosk pad so people can’t order and it’s simply a mess, if I returned I would eat before and get nothing except walk around stuff because of the lines. Keep in mind there is not many fans at the games so I couldn’t imagine a sold out game or large crowd the place would be a mess. Anyway still great experience and the stingray tank in centerfield is a must, hopefully 2028 brings a new stadium.

The field is really nice. They just replaced the turf. The stadium is awesome too. It's a shame they want to replace it because it is very well cared for. Staff is friendly but word of advice, do not bring any backpack or bags at all to the security point. I misunderstood the bag rule because I thought it meant they could not be over a certain size so I brought a very small backpack for my kids things. This was not ok. I guess a reusable grocery sack is OK though. The stadium had a lot of restaurants and bars, but be prepared to spend $8 on a 20oz smart water and $15-18 for a beer. Very expensive. Overall we enjoyed the game and our seats were great behind the first base dugout.

I am on a quest to visit all MLB ballparks and this place, although pretty empty and not a lot of attendees, it's a great park. This was a great little ballpark with lots of things to see and explore. They have a great rotunda when you walk in and nice team store. They even have a sting ray touch tank in the outfield. Some of the food selections are not the best compared to other parks.......⚾️

We’ve been to the field a few times for games. It’s always clean and well organized. The team throws out at least 200+ baseballs to the kids in the stand every single game. The a/c is kicking and the lights in the dome are fun to watch. 10/10 will be going to more games.

This past weekend my son and I went to the "Trop" to see the Rays/Yankees games on Saturday and Sunday (Yes we are Yankees fans first but support the Rays when not playing the Yankees). I have some history of visiting Tropicana Field beginning in 2020 when I worked in St Pete less than a 1/2 mile from the Stadium and would walk over for games. After moving to the Orlando area I have attended several games over the past two decades. My experience this past weekend is consistent with all my previous experiences as a fan. (I have never played there so I cannot speak to the areas such as locker room/training facilities, catching pop-ups, or previous turf selections). I think the Stadium is very fan friendly - easy to navigate, lots of food options, good viewing from most areas, entertainment, activity areas for kids, plenty of rest rooms, and extremely well maintained and clean! We parked in lot 6 and purchased parking in advance (I strongly recommend that). Most importantly we arrived at least 2 hours early so traffic was not an issue and getting into stadium early gave time to walk around, watch warm-ups, and get something to eat. Most importantly staffing is plentiful, professional and helpful. They all get an A+ in my book!

I love seeing the games here. It's an incredible value that everybody should take advantage of before it's gone. The stadium is very comfortable and easy to access. Happy to see the town has grown up all around it full of bars and condos and young folks everywhere really has been such a wonderful amenity for St Petersburg. The Baldwin group club level suites are definitely worth considering all you can eat food and beer. There was an after concert (jimmy eat world) after the Rays game it was just so much fun. I will be very sad when it's gone.

First time visiting, and it did not disappoint. Beautiful museum! I went to specifically see the current kimono exhibit before it over, and it was breathtaking! They also offer a military discount. I'm looking forward to returning to other exhibits and events.

My wife and I went on an excursion conducted by Natilie Velez in Russian. It was wonderful! Natalie knows her subject perfectly. I am very glad that the museum management decided to make thematic projects in different languages. I am sure that such events will expand the museum's audience and cause additional interest in history and art. We will be looking forward to another meeting!

Loved our visit! This was our first time touring the museum and it was a great find. We just happened to see the poster advertising the kimono exhibit while walking down the pier, and decided to go. I'm glad we did! The kimonos were amazing and I learned so much about their design and meaning of some of the finer details. The rest of the museum was great to see too. I did not expect to see a Monet or Georgia O'Keefe! This is a great place to pop in if you're downtown. I look forward to seeing future special exhibits.

The galleries and exhibits are wonderful. Prices in the cafe on contrary are very expensive, $25 for a plain croissant, 1 slice of cake and espresso. Also the strange tacky, very large painting of the basketball player or whoever that is, in the middle of the main hall with old school classical paintings is totally unnecessary…out of place, kills the atmosphere of the room….

MOFA was beautiful! I enjoyed seeing all the artwork and artifacts (especially Leviathan Zodiac) and the Clementine Cafe was cool too! I’ll come back! P. S. Enjoyed the Outside In exhibit too! -Henry

I really enjoy coming to this museum. You could spend 2-3 hours in here. They do need to buy better merchandise in their gift shop that is geared towards the artwork they have.

A small but wonderful place. A great way to spend a morning or afternoon. There are a lot of really awesome exhibits and the garden is beautiful. They also have the best gift shop I’ve ever been to in a museum.

They serve up fantastic shrimp tacos (highly recommend!) and my husband really enjoyed his burger. Drinks are strong and well-made, and the service was attentive. The lively atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax by the water. When it suddenly downpoured, the staff quickly moved everyone under the eaves and dropped the curtains to keep us dry—doing their best to make sure guests were comfortable despite the weather. A fun and welcoming waterfront experience.

Fresco’s Waterfront Bistro is truly a gem on the water! From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, with stunning views that make every meal feel special. The staff are friendly, attentive, and go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome and taken care of. The food is absolutely delicious—the seafood is fresh and perfectly prepared, and the menu has something for everyone, from creative appetizers to hearty entrées. The cocktails are refreshing and well crafted, and they pair perfectly with the waterfront setting. What I love most is how seamless the whole experience feels—great service, fantastic food, and an unbeatable view. Whether you’re stopping by for brunch, lunch, or dinner, Fresco’s always delivers a memorable dining experience. It’s the perfect spot for locals and visitors alike, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Just had lunch out with the girls at Fresco's. I can't wait to go back with the husbands. The service was excellent (thank you Gabriella), the food was excellent, as was the waterfront view. We shared the warm crab dip appetizer, delicious! I had a cup of lobster bisque, really good, and the cold lobster roll. Wow! Two friends had the carbonara which I decided to taste and can't wait to have it again. Absolutely on the return list.

Loved this place! The food was absolutely delicious, great presentation, it’s right on the water so the view was beautiful and our server Hayden was super polite, sweet and very attentive. Thank you Hayden! I got the Mahi Entree with bacon jalapeño cream sauce and the pineapple coleslaw and my cousin got the Fresco Bowl. Delicious. And great portions for the price! There is inside seating, as well as outside seating.

Fresco's is a must-visit when in St. Petes! That bowl will forever live in my mind rent-free. It was balanced and absolutely scrumptious. The view is to die for. It's literally something from the movies. The restaurant is well decorated with an electric feel, and it's neat and well kept. The place was busy and buzzing when we were there, but the service was fast and efficient!

Two years ago, we wanted to dine here during our trip to St. Petersburg, but the wait was too long, so we decided to skip it. This time, we visited twice. The food was delicious, and the outdoor seating was wonderful, especially when the temperature was pleasant. The veggie bowl was exquisite; the balsamic glaze drizzled on top of the grilled vegetables really enhanced the flavor. The feta cheese added a nice touch, giving it a Mediterranean taste. My husband ordered the grouper sandwich and loved it! Don't forget to try the Yucatan spring rolls—they're delicious! The mango salad pairs perfectly with the spring rolls. My mocktail, the berry mint spritz, was refreshing!

Got seated immediately. Food was fantastic,service was great, food was hot and freshly prepared. Prices were high. But worth it!

I loved this place!!!! Live music!!! Good music and the atmosphere was lovely. I was in town for my birthday last year and it was lovely!!! Food was good drinks were great. Sun set was marvelous. I hope it’s still poppin when I go back

Great place! Bar Level 11 is located at the rooftop of Bellwether Hotel in St. Petersburg, under Spinners Rooftop Grill. You can walk all around it, as it’s built like a circle, enjoy the view, take great pictures of the ocean and the beach. During evening time they have it very nicely decorated with purple and blue lights, and it’s definitely a very enjoyable experience for lunch or dinner with friends. Food and drinks are great! Highly recommend visiting.

It pains me to leave 4 stars. I'd leave a 4.5 if I could. A) COME HERE AT SUNSET B)They do have good drinks. The reason for my 4.5 ⭐ is the bar itself leaves a lot to desire. Very small and basic. The outer perimeter does have two-seater tables against the glass railing though which is great. The restaurant here is nothing short of incredible, speaking of the inside. It spins slowly to give you and 360 view throughout your meal. In short - I'll be back.

Beautiful views, great drinks good bites and a poshy setting, what more can you ask for. The sunset views are to die for. At night everything lights up and you can see 270 degrees view of St Pete Beach n bay. We came for 4th of July weekend and had the best seat in the house for the works displayed all over. If you're in town I would highly recommend a visit.

Located on beautiful St. Petersburg FL. beach. The views from this 360° restaurant bar are amazing. The appetizer selection is great and drinks as well. I would recommend trying to get here and enjoy before the sun sets, just as beautiful once lights come on. It is very breezy up this high so be sure to be prepared for the wind. Ladies bring your hair ties. Cheers.

I went to Level 11 Rooftop Bar & Lounge on a Sunday afternoon with my partner to witness the breathtaking sunset. I must say, the view of the sunset from this place was truly exceptional. In my opinion, it offers the most splendid sunset view in the entire St. Pete area. The sight was so mesmerizing that it felt like gazing at a stunning piece of artwork. Although drinks are served exclusively at the bar rather than at the tables, this did not diminish the overall enjoyment of the experience. All in all, witnessing such a magnificent sunset made the visit to Level 11 Rooftop Bar & Lounge worthwhile, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit.

This place has an excellent vibe and the absolute BEST rooftop view on St. Pete Beach, especially during sunset. I definitely recommend the Key Lime Martini. It tastes just like a key lime pie. Our server, Cole, was amazing!

A tale of two plates: It was the best of times (the Cuban sandwich) it was the worst of times, (the pollo asado with burnt maduros) I have eaten here at least six times and this past time was very disappointing. The Cuban sandwich was delicious, perfectly toasted and great balance of flavors. The pollo asado plato was not good at all. For $16 plus tip you can have a tiny dry breast, a generous portion of rice and beans, and the worst maduros in the Tampa Bay Area. Service was not great, and we never got the water we ordered along with our food and beer and cocktail. Anyways, next time I’ll just get the Cuban sandwich.

What a Gem! This incredible local restaurant has the best cuban sandwich in Tampa/St. Pete's! I absolutely love their food, my wife loves their vegetarian sandwich and plantains. My Cuban sandwich was on point every meat in there was so tender and flavorful perfect! The bread is out this world the bread was traditional Cuban style and amazing! The girl at The counter was awesome she was patient and explain how the menu worked. It made the experience easier and that much better. Seating is very limited. Make sure you Check in Yelp I got a free Cuban coffee amazing! 100% recommend!!

Yall... this place is a MUST HAVE on your trip to St Pete... I don't remember the exact name of what we ordered but I had mad beet juice hubby had carrot ginger something. My food was the grilled tempeh.. he had a pork plate and we shared a cuban... oh my my... not only was the food delicious, the juice was so fresh... and the staff.. they hired the right staff, they were all very friendly and outgoing... Maria general manager came over to say hi and make sure we enjoyed our food and Amy was super nice too.. but we appreciated Kira the most she was patient and kind with all the questions we had, as it was our first time there but not the last... PLEASE BRING ONE TO BRADENTON!!! my food was a little spicier than I like but it was still delicious..

Casual Cuban restaurant with ample indoor and outdoor seating. Everything on the menu looked delicious but I went with the chicken plate which was seasoned well, a good size, and tender. Both the coconut white rice topped with black beans were generous portions and the sweet maduros on the side, which were perfectly done, added the perfect amount of sweetness. I liked that they added a slice of lime on the side to squeeze on top of the chicken, which made it even better. Overall, Bodega on Central was a great spot to enjoy a casual taste of Cuban food for under around $20/ person. The seating outside was good- although the flies attracted to my food were pesky as I had to keep swatting them away. One thing I did not get was their hibiscus drink/ Jamaica aqua fresca which they said they mix with soda water.

If you're in the mood for a sandwich that actually makes you stop mid-bite, this is the place. Their Cuban is the real deal and the juices they serve on the side are fresh and sharp. It’s not a sit-down spot really, more of a grab-and-go with a couple outdoor tables. The line moves fast and it’s always worth it.

Restaurant was so cute and service was great! My husband’s Cuban was delish! I got the sandwich with mango and avocado (i forget the name) that was also yummy. Extra points for Mexican Cokes!!!

As a Cuban, I always arrive with certain expectations, my husband and I came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. It was not too. Busy and we found plenty of seating. We ordered the Lechón Platter, Frita and I got a Hibiscus Soda Fresca ( Agua de Jamaica with bubbles lol) The Lechón left something to be desired but the beans were on point. The Lechón felt dry, and that it was relying on the Mojo for flavor. Ultimately a solid size portion. The Frita, I have mixed reviews on, the flavor profile was right, the size of the patty and the moisture was off. A Frita is the equivalent of a Cuban Smash Burger and the patty here was too dense , and a little dry. I think two smash patties with more "sauce" with the flavor they've already accomplished? It would have been a smash.... Pun intended. Overall good experience and would try again

If you haven’t been to The Getaway in St. Pete, you are seriously missing out! This place is our absolute FAVORITE hangout!! The vibe is pure paradise!! Waterfront views, tropical drinks, amazing food, and even the chance to see dolphins and manatees while you relax. It doesn’t get any better than this! 🌴🍹🐬 And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, they’ve added some awesome new upgrades that make the whole experience next-level. The Getaway keeps stepping it up, and it shows! But what truly makes it special is Aaron. He is hands down the BEST server we’ve ever had anywhere!! Every time we come in, he treats us like family!! He’s fun, attentive, and always one step ahead, whether it’s keeping the drinks flowing, suggesting the best bites, or just bringing the good vibes that make us want to stay for hours. He makes every visit unforgettable! Aaron + The Getaway = the perfect combo! If you want the full experience, trust me – ask for Aaron. You’ll see exactly why this is our #1 spot in St. Pete! ❤️

We are locals and have come here for years, long before it looked the way it does and instagram followers poses daily, when there was good live music and was a total vibe. The bartenders are always good but we miss Will and the food was good enough, although priced high. But they changed the vibe totally with the terrible music choice. It used to be nice tropical, Jimmy Buffet tunes but not any more. Please turn the music channel back, the choice now is terrible.

You cannot go wrong at this location! Excellent food, friendly service, and a wonderful view! It's a quiet outdoor restaurant that delivers on quality food. You'll be able to talk casually with others or take in the view and enjoy a nice meal and some drinks.

We had such a great time at The Getaway! The location alone makes it worth the visit. It had beautiful views and such a relaxing vibe. But what really made our experience stand out was our server. She was so kind, respectful, and just seemed to know what we needed before we even had to ask… refills, napkins, extra plates, you name it. She was great with our little one too, and made us all feel really comfortable and taken care of. The craziest part? We found out it was her first day, and we never would’ve guessed! She handled everything like a total pro. Big thanks to Kat (and Eli) for making our visit such a good one. We’ll definitely be back!

It's a cool place to hang out and have some drinks. For food... Not so good. Burgers were uncooked after a really long wait. Coconut shrimps were ok but not the best. Staff is polite but not the best service. Environment is fun Place is beautiful.

Perfect place if you looking for sweet drinks, good food and fun time. Atmosphere was great and its located on the water, saw some dolphins while enjoying lunch. It was the kind of place you leave already planning to come back.

Four of us went on Sunday for brunch. The place was hopping and we were seated within 15 minutes. Initially they wanted to sit us down in the beach area, which means you have to order your food at a walk up stand? That makes no sense since you are literally 5 feet from the full service restaurant under the pavilion. The whole place should be full service. We asked to be seated in the main area since if I wanted to go order my food myself I would have made it at home. We ordered calamari for the table which was pretty good. One of us ordered a Cuban sandwich that seemed a bit dry and boring. My friend said it was lacking in flavor and he did not really enjoy it. I had the Getaway burger, which is not really made to be eaten with your hands. So I had to use a fork and nice to eat it. The pulled pork was flavorless and dried out. The beef patty was also lacking in the flavor department and looked like a frozen patty. The french fries were also frozen from a bag and tasteless as well, which just ruins a meal. This place seems to be more about the views than the actual food.

I went on a mini retreat here, and it was amazing, especially for my first time visiting. There were also some beautiful birds to see both as a part of the preserve and in their natural habitat. Our hike was guided, but there were several trails, so I look forward to coming back and trying to them.

This was a nice outing. They have great walking and biking trails and with the side trails you can easily do 5 miles. A gift shop, restrooms, kids playground, adequate parking, an aviary, water stations along the route, healthy snacks in the gift shop like strawberries, celery, peaches, and other cold snacks. They definitely need more magnets with the preserve on it as I collect magnets. We saw some wildlife, a baby alligator, raccoon, squirrels and an owl that was hooting at one of the caged owls. A worker there said that owl has been coming for a few seasons to probably "mate" and "talk" to one of the other owls. A pretty neat and safe place. Entrance fee is very reasonable.

went to this place for a Saturday morning walk and had no idea it was an entire ✨experience✨ but what an incredible surprise! they have so many trails to choose from. the flora and fauna is so diverse. it's a huge place so I doubt you'll ever feel like it's "crowded." The aviary was also a nice surprise. The birds were gorgeous and you get to read about their backstory! On the main trail there's a wooden swing with a beautiful skyline view. I'm in love!

This is a lovely place to walk through a natural park. We entered the park at the visitor center at the south end. There are three main trails going north-south. The one on the east follows more closely to the lake. After a while you can cross a pedestrian bridge to a small island with views of St Pete across the water. There were small alligators lounging under the bridge. This island is, I’m guessing, about halfway to the northern tip of the park. If you continue going north after getting back off the island, the trail offers less shade than the beginning of the walk. It gets pretty hot for us, Seattleites. We chose not to go all the way to the northern tip of the park because of the hot sunny trail. After a while you can get back to the middle trail (which also goes north-south), and it has the most shade. Once on the middle trail, we decided to try the western trail going north-south, but it also lacked shade except near the visitor center. It follows close to the western edge of the park, so you see and hear cars which we didn’t enjoy as much.

Beautiful preserve. Got my 10,000 steps and enjoyed every minute spent walking, talking, and snapping pictures. There's plenty of shade and water stations. The wildlife was plentiful.

We had a great trip! The cabins have been improved from our last stay, I love the new paint job. The playground is so unique, I’m not sure if it’s new but I don’t remember seeing it on my last trip. The trails are great and I LOVE the water stations!

Boyd Hills Raptor fest was fabulous! But in general it’s an awesome park to walk around and be apart of nature. Looking at the birds of prey they have rescued is quite thrilling. Their playground of the kids was fun as well. There is a small fee to walk the trails but it is worth it! It’s a great spot to see baby alligators and bird watch. Boyd Hill also has a TON of programs year round to get involved in. Overall it was a great experience. We will go back to visit the Nature Center as well.

Now this place is amazing. I went for brunch and ordered a number of items. The Olive Oil Pancakes were extremely light and fluffy as well as not overly sweet. Contrary to its name, the olive oil was not overpowering and the jam added a nice touch. Neuske Thick Cut Bacon straight from the farm. I am not a huge pork eater because of the taste, but the bacon here tasted fresh. Turkish Eggs, dip like dish with the ever so soft pita bread = 😋. Ricotta Soft Scramble with fresh ricotta, chives, and pita were fluffy, light, creamy, and flavorful. My mocktail was also great. It was more of a craft style mocktail rather than juice and a splash of soda water. This is my new go-to spot when I take the drive to visit St. Pete.

Tonight was my first visit to Allelo on Beach Drive in St. Pete. We didn’t have a reservation but were lucky to get seats at the bar around 7 p.m. They mentioned they were fully booked, though we did notice a few tables open both when we arrived and when we left. Still, we ended up having a great time at the bar! The female bartender was pretty friendly and attentive, and the bar back (a male) was busy helping with table and silverware setup ~ both were good. We ordered the Baby Gem Salad, Mussels in a delicious tomato sauce, and the Cocktail Shrimp, which were all fantastic. The cocktails were unique and interestingly crafted. The espresso martini had an interesting twist ~ a subtle touch of amaro that gave it depth. The lemon drop martini was made with their house lemonade, which gave it a refreshing and slightly unexpected flavor. My friend ordered the Aperol Spritz and really enjoyed it too. It was a bit loud inside, so next time I’ll definitely ask to sit outside, especially in this beautiful weather. The restaurant has a charming patio right on Beach Drive, a cozy bar area, and another smaller dining room to the right as you walk in. The space is beautifully decorated, with a hand-painted mural of birds by a local artist. They even provided a list so guests can learn about each bird featured on the wall ~ a thoughtful touch! I’m surprised it took me this long to visit, especially since I consider myself quite the foodie. Allelo has been open for 5 years, and after tonight, I can definitely say I’ll be back soon!

Just wow! I can’t say enough good things about this place. We are regular brunch goers in Tampa/st pete area and nothing beats this! Highly recommend the family style you get to try so many delightful dishes all fresh and handcrafted! Parking can be a challenge but nothing will keep us from coming back here! Also our waiter and the bartender were outstanding!

The food is superb. Had the shrimp or Gambas, and the Wagu NY steak. The Sangria was delicious, and the Baklava cheesecake to die for. Everyone were pretty knowledgeable of the menu. Great service and food. Can't go wrong here. A++

We went there on Sunday morning for brunch and sat outside and it was lovely. The whole zone is very nice, the restaurant has a chicche vibe, view of the water and a yummy brunch menu. It’s a Mediterranean-European fusion. We had the Shakshouka and Turkish Deviled Eggs and some orange juice and paid about $65 with tip.

Came to St. Pete for a day and chose to end it on a high note, at Allelo. Beautiful to look at and with a solid menu, I enjoyed the pate starter and the pasta. The pasta dish, recommended by my server, was a definite stand out. Great sauce, tender chunks of lobster and of course the caviar. Service was super attentive.

I have been several times and every meal has been consistent, fresh, and delicious. The service is always wonderful. Their brunch is great for friends and family to have a taste of everything. Definitely worth a visit.

This was a very fun museum to explore. It didn’t seam like it would be much from the outside, but had plenty to offer on the inside. One could easily spend hours looking at everything this place has to offer. Something I appreciated was the variety of glass art they have on display. Some of the pieces leave you wondering how they were made while others leave you in awe in how patient the artists must be. For them this would truly have to be a passion with the levels of detail that went into their work. I enjoyed this museum so much I plan on making others trips back to take it in at a slower pace. If you want to be amazed with amazing pieces of glass work/art this is the place for you.

It was an amazing day for me and my children to see all the beautiful glassworks! It is National Pediatric day and we were there for free! We bought some really cool souvenirs! I love the colors and vibrancy of the glass display! It was not a big museum but there's so much in there that you'll be mesmerized! Everything is so organized! I love it so are my kids!

Its a cool museum, I enjoyed it even though it was extremely busy. We went on a free museum day, so we expected a ton of people. We had low expectations, but the art enamored my two daughters and I. It was my two daughters first museum experience. We were able to enjoy it, UNTIL some nasty, judgemental older woman used ugly, unprovoked language towards my 8 and 9 yr old daughter. Its sad you'll always have nasty people ruining great memories and moments. The woman got pretty loud and belligerent. There were so many employees working, I dont understand why no one stopped her or made her leave. I kept my composure and remained respectful. However that's the memory my children have of going to the Imagine museum and their first museum experience. Its so important to properly train employees/volunteers on what appropriate/inappropriate behavior is. They need to know how to handle situations like that. Also, apparently grown adults also need to be advised on proper museum procedures during events like this. There's no way a couple of people should expect a room full of people to move for their photo op ESPECIALLY during free museum day while yall have entire rooms and sections roped off. I guess I was disappointed in the experience but the actual art was magnificent. I heard people around me saying similar things.

There are surprisingly so many glass artists around this area and visiting this museum opened my eyes a bit on doing more research on who you choose to support. While it was jaw dropping just looking at each artist featured and their individual work, the majority(I'd say half or more) of the pieces featured are stamped by the museum owner, Trish Duggan. Feel free to Google the name and come to your own conclusions, but I will say she creates so much alien artwork that I started to guess that she very well may be an alien herself. I'm happy that the entry price was relatively low and hopefully that the money goes into the pockets of the other featured artists. Reading Christina Yates' story had me heartbroken and I'm glad to have experienced her art and story

Great museum with beautiful glass art. Lots to see on 2 different floors. Beautiful items to buy in the gift shop. Make sure to stop at the best bakery around on the first floor before leaving. The donuts were delicious.

Has some of the most Beautiful and amazing Glass Art I have seen! The 1st floor is the best hands down. Upstairs had a bunch of space themed (UFO) and new age art with comics or anime (definitely younger people made then) I wasn't a fan gave me the vibe of it just being thrown in there and was definitely out of place for me and it wasn't as creative as the glass arts. Overall this place is a must go if you are in the area. The Pictures do not do it justice! The GLASS Art is truly astounding and will make you say Wow!

Really amazing glass work on many levels. I attended 5 after 5 on Thursday. 5 bucks after 5pm. It was very kid friendly and the sculptures were really good. I don't want to spoil all great art with too many pictures but try the kids image hunt.

We've been to many museums all across America. This is definitely one of the best. The architectural design of the museum is enough to put it at the top of the list. The exhibits were incredible, and there were far more paintings and statues than we anticipated. We look forward to taking visiting family and friends there in the future.

The art of the American West - and the spirit of its native peoples - come to life at the James Museum in St. Petersburg. It’s an absolute treasure, nestled in the quaint but urban downtown center of this coastal city. Steps from the cultural center of St. Pete, this modern homage to a by-gone era is a delightful journey for everyone. Take a solo tour or enjoy a family or group adventure. The artwork is divine, the stories filled with joy and sorrow, and the scenery of this lost land is preserved with dignity and majesty. The cafe and store are both worth perusing, and the bar is an authentic wooden fixture that conjures the saloons of Deadwood, where a sarsaparilla might pare with some tales of wandering ‘round the yellow roses of Texas. If you’re in St. Pete, do not miss this experience. And remember to hit the Dali Museum as well. They’re both reminders that this is an art colony, and there’s more to explore than just the beaches, water sports, and cuisine.

The James Museum truly exceeded our expectations! Our wedding was everything we had hoped for and more. The waterfall and bronze sculptures in the Arroyo added a special touch to our ceremony. Valeria was nothing less than amazing to work with! She was extremely helpful and very patient in answering our questions throughout the planning process. The James Museum was also very accommodating to our requests, which proved how much they truly care about their clients. Our guests really enjoyed the opportunity to explore the galleries during cocktail hour and complemented the unique atmosphere. It was truly the perfect venue for a night we’ll never forget.

Wonderful museum about American west. It freely expresses the tension between European American and Native American. The exhibit tries to achieve a historical accuracy through modern and contemporary artworks. The most surprising exhibit is about the Chinese immigrants who were invited by European Americans to build the railway. The brief introduction is available with business style presentation. Hence, we can found a relatively complete west picture in this museum.

Will return to this wonderfully curated museum of contemporary art. The museum has eight galleries, showcasing sculptures, paintings, jewelry, and other artifacts created by contemporary artists. From the Belknap family's journey from Ohio to Oregon in the 1840s, to Chinese railroad laborers, to jewelry, the Black Moccasin Meeting Lewis and Clark sculpture, and Clint Eastwood's spaghetti western painting. The $75m James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art was created by Tom and Mary James and opened in 2018. Thomas James (born 1942 or 43) is the chairman of Raymond James Financial, which was founded by his father, Robert James (1909-83). It's based in St. Pete. I think the firm is more like eTrade than Morgan Stanley.

This is a stunning, carefully curated collection of traditional and modern styles of American Western art. Some of the best stuff comes from contemporary Native artists. This museum is worth your time.

Had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at the James Museum this past month. It is such a beautiful venue with so many spots for creative photos. The bride and groom were so happy with the atmosphere and overall feel of the museum. I love this spot and cannot wait to photograph many more weddings upcoming here at the James!

We walked in early afternoon today as we have the NARM membership so in my mind, it would’ve been a free visit. The woman at the front desk was rude and condescending after I asked why this particular museum didn’t take it, “she said then everyone would just walk in for free”, yes that’s the point of having a reciprocal membership. Anyway, we paid the $15/person entrance fee, honestly it should’ve been $5/person. It took us less than one hr to browse the semi empty, cold museum. There is currently the largest baseball exhibit my husband liked, a lot of war photos and info, voting in St Pete women’s rights area and some local art. It is a decent museum to stop in if visiting the St Pete Pier and/or dining next door, Perry’s Porch…now that’s a 5⭐️ experience.

If you are hoping for a “history of Saint Petersburg, Florida” experience, you might be disappointed. This small museum, tucked away behind the massive Museum of Fine Arts at the pier, hosts mostly informative placards on the wall talking about various wars (Spanish American War, War in Afghanistan, Korean War), the women’s movement in St. Pete, and the history of art influence in St. Pete. It has very few actual historical artifacts (probably about a dozen total). The two coolest exhibits are the over 5,000 autographed baseballs on display and the 3,000 year old mummy. It took me just under an hour (at a slow pace) to see the whole thing and— for me— the mummy was the coolest thing in there. If you are bored and wanting to kill time (like I was) it could be worth the $15 admission. But this is not a “go out if you way” type museum like the Museum of Fine Arts is.

Don’t waste your time, very disappointing! The only really St Pete history was the Vinny. Way too much baseball memorabilia. I’m sure the city pays a pretty penny to keep that opened and employ their relatives.

Cute little museum. Good way to spend an hour or so learning more about the area. It is near the shore side of the pier so not a long walk out to it, or you could ride the shuttle up to it. If driving you would have to find a lot or street spot & then walk out to it. Variety of exhibits on the pier/parks of the area, history of civil rights in the area, aviation history and a baseball collection. We found the history of the area and the changes over the years very interesting. We also found out about the augusta bricks we kept seeing around town. I did think that the $15 admission was a bit steep for all the bigger the museum was.

We were in town for a few days for our 50th wedding anniversary. We are museum people. The St. Petersburg Museum of History - "Sharing Stories of the Sunshine City for 102 Years"- is located at the base of the new pier, While not a large museum, it is worth spending about an hour to see a gallery of Old Florida history, a tribute to the American soldier, and Florida women pioneers. The museum also features Schrader's Little Cooperstown, made up of nearly 5,000 baseballs and certified by Guinness World Records as the largest collection of its kind. Othet significant objects are a replica of the world's first commercial air boat, “The Benoist,” which flew from St. Petersburg to Tampa in 1914 and a 3,000-year-old mummy. Be sure to look at the sculpture of the newspaper boy outside the entry. It commemorates a newspaper contest, "The Sunshine Offer," that promised to give away newspapers to anyone every day that the sun did not shine in the ‘Burg. In a 76-year period, only 296 papers were given away. Hence the name: "The Sunshine City." If you go: Hours are Monday - Saturday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday 12-5 p.m. Tickets: $15 adult (18+), $12 senior (65+), $9 military and veteran, teachers and students, and children under 6 are free. Look for the $2.00 off coupon found in the Discover Downtown Guide found everywhere. Only one coupon was needed for two of us; we combined a senior discount with the coupon. While parking is available at the pier (the Dolphin Lot is the closest to the museum), both the FREE Looper Trolley and Central Avenue Trolley stop at the base of the pier. From there, it is a short walk to the museum. If you ride the free trolley, please be sure to trip your driver who is committed to getting you safely to and from your destination.

I recently read a book on the history of St Petersburg which referenced this Museum several times. So I was inspired to take a Saturday and visit this place. Very nice museum. I enjoyed the exhibits including the special exhibit they had called Alligators and Oddities that was very interesting and very bizarre. Everything about alligators you could ever want to know. They had a great autographed baseball collection. I am not a baseball fan but I certainly enjoyed looking at that. The best part was the replica airplane from the first commercial airline in St Petersburg. Overall the museum told the story of the story of St Petersburg quite well. There were quite a few bits of information not in the book. Well worth a rainy Saturday.

After completing our Segway Tour we visited this museum. I use to coach baseball and have been a fan all my life. Our tour guide said if you love baseball that we should go. She was right. There is several interesting history displays here but the baseball exhibit was by far the most interesting to me.
