St. Pete Beer, Wine & Booze

Grand Central District · pizza

Twenty taps of beer, wine and kombucha and a stage that the brewery says has full bands most nights of the week. Sister kitchen Kraken Joe's Pizza cooks in an oak-fired brick oven on site. I Love the Burg notes the covered and uncovered seating and the arcade games.

4th Street North · burgers, american

El Cap is the 4th Street burger bar with the red neon baseball sign. St. Pete Catalyst traces it to 1958, when Louis Joseph Svabek opened it in a 1948 building as one of his 'Cap' beer joints; Steve and Rose Bonfili of Pennsylvania took it over in 1963, and their son Frank turned it into what many call the city's first sports bar. Johnny Johnson has hand-formed the patties since 1992 and once made 2,300 in a day. Mary Jean Bonfili left the place to two longtime servers when she died in 2019, and in January 2023 Seed & Feed Hospitality, run by St. Pete natives, bought half while Cindy Nally kept the other half. The order is the World Champ cheeseburger.

MLK Street North

A neighborhood brewery that opened in October 2023 on MLK Street North. Outside is family and pet friendly; inside is the 21 and up Golden Easy bar. The tap list leans to IPAs with wine, low-alcohol and non-alcoholic pours, and the yard hosts food trucks and a monthly Lunar Market with vendors and live music.

Grand Central District · mediterranean

A two-story brewery, taproom and beer garden on Central that concentrates on lagers and pilsners, poured from European-style serving tanks. The second-floor terrace looks down over the beer garden. Food comes from LALA St. Pete, and the Brew Good program sends proceeds to local causes such as CASA Pinellas.

EDGE District

St. Pete's oldest brewery marked its 13th anniversary in September 2026. The beer garden and tasting room on Baum Avenue stay family friendly, while Webb's City Cellar, its second room, pours sours, cider, mead and wine for adults only. On September 25, 2026 it opened Upstairs at Webb's, an adults-only second-floor bar with Japanese-style side-pull pours and English cask ale. I Love the Burg says honey for the mead comes from bees kept on the roof.

Downtown · english pub

An English-style pub and brewery that took over the old Cycle Brewing taproom in July 2025. Husband and wife Todd and Colleen pour cask ale through hand-pulled beer engines ... I Love the Burg says it is one of only a few breweries in the Southeast doing real ale. It opens early on weekends for Premier League and NFL games, and the resident dog is named Dolly.

St. Pete Beach

The brewery calls itself the first and only microbrewery on St. Pete Beach. It runs a 5-barrel system with 18 or more house beers and also distills vodka, rye, bourbon and agave spirits on site. There is a scratch kitchen, an outdoor stage and a patio where dogs and kids are welcome.

Grand Central District

One of two bars in the city that double as a dog park ... this one has a water park for dogs. It ran the 2026 World Cup with the sound on.

Gulfport · seafood, american

The bar Gulfport measures storms by ... after Hurricane Helene The Gabber's publisher wrote a note titled 'The O'Maddy's Index', and during Idalia in 2023 police closed it because the corner was under water. It faces the Gulfport Pier, has live music every day and welcomes dogs at the outside tables. In March 2026 it opened a second floor, a long-planned expansion that The Gabber says came after 20 years in business.

Grand Central District

PAW is the dog-themed brewery ... milk bones on the tables, charity nights for animal rescues and a Milk Bone Stout on tap. Brewers Matthew Brown and Dennis Decker started it, its Sweet Stout took silver at the Great American Beer Festival, and it turned 10 in May 2026. The site has a barrel aging room, a tap room and a beer garden with a food truck. On October 1, 2026 it soft-opened a second room, PAW Taps & Tails, in the former Dissent Craft Brewing building at 5518 Haines Rd N, welcoming dogs and cats.

Pass-a-Grille · seafood

This is the old Sea Critters Cafe on the bay side of Pass-a-Grille. Regulars Charles and Helen Collom bought it in 2022, renamed it, rebuilt the dock and kept most of the staff. Boats can tie up at the dock and the kitchen will cook your catch. The restaurant's site carries a memorial to Charles Lee Collom.

Gulfport · seafood, american

A hurricane-themed tavern that opened on September 25, 2024 ... one day before Hurricane Helene hit Gulfport. It is three rooms in one: a main dining room, The Crow's Nest rooftop bar over Boca Ciega Bay and BARk, a dog-friendly tiki bar. Artist Derek Donnelly later painted a 'Guardian of Gulfport' mural on the building about the town getting through Helene and Milton. Live music runs Tuesday to Sunday.

Grand Central District

An off-leash dog park with a full bar ... more than 4,500 square feet of fenced Astroturf with staff watching the play yard at peak times. Dogs need a membership, proof of vaccinations, to be over a year old and spayed or neutered. Humans must be 21 or older. Tuesday is bingo night and food trucks rotate through.

Downtown · sushi, tapas, tiki

Tiki drinks, tapas, pool tables and more than 50 sushi rolls on the 600 block. Chef and co-founder Tom Golden opened it in 2016 after renovating a building the restaurant says is 125 years old, one that ran as a bar in the 1930s and 40s and 'even served as a brothel at one point'. The house catchphrase is 'I'm starvin', make me some cold dead fish'. Weekend brunch features Granny Sage's biscuits and gravy.

Grand Central District · seafood

A 'bait shop chic' fish house whose menu changes with the catch of the day ... snapper, grouper, tuna from local waters, simply prepared. It takes no reservations and tells guests to come early because the fish can run out. The bar invented its own category, 'boat drinks', and the site says the Tampa Bay Times named it Best Cocktail List in 2019. A second Trophy Fish later opened in Tampa's Seminole Heights.
