St. Pete Beer, Wine & Booze

Warehouse Arts District

Leigh and Mike Harting opened the brewery in December 2013 with head brewer Ty Weaver ... the name comes from the question of how to put their three daughters through college. It started in a 1,600 square foot tasting room and now fills a large warehouse the brewery says serves over 250,000 guests a year. I Love the Burg calls it the biggest brewery in St. Pete, with more than 40 taps of beer, cider, hard seltzer and sangria. This is the original location; a Clearwater Beach taproom and an airport bar came in 2022.

Warehouse Arts District · bbq

A family-owned brewery in the Warehouse Arts District that opened in 2020 and added a barbecue kitchen and cocktails. Its concerts have moved into a dedicated event space called Bayboro Live. I Love the Burg points to the big beer garden.

Gulfport · american

Gulfport's brewery turned six in June 2026 and threw its second annual Beerfest to mark it. Three of its beers medaled at the 2026 Best Florida Beer competition, and in August it released Sea Breeze, a beer honoring local newspaper history back to 1886. There is live music in the biergarten, a Tuesday run club and Thursday trivia. Since June 2026 it also opens at 9am as a breakfast cafe pouring Black Crow Coffee.

Grand Central District · izakaya, sake, french-japanese small plates, oysters, sake bar, ramen, small plates

In Between Days opened in August 2021 in a 1925 Craftsman bungalow, the idea of Pinellas native Zach Ashton, a recording artist turned restaurateur. It is modeled on Tokyo's underground listening bars ... a pair of 1972 Klipsch Cornwall speakers behind the bar, two turntables, and records played a full side at a time under oil lanterns. The room is small on purpose: its own profile counts 7 tables and 6 bar stools. Beverage director Noah Sain leads a team of sake sommeliers over what local press calls Florida's largest sake collection, and chef Justin Shwetzer cooks a short rotating menu of gyoza, hamachi, oysters and a noodle dish. It joined the MICHELIN Guide Florida in 2026.

Downtown · irish

Founded by Pete, Kat, Aaron and Ian and named for Pete's grandmother, whose beauty salon once filled this same storefront. Fish and chips and shepherd's pie come with vegan versions, and bands play Irish rebel music. I Love the Burg calls it downtown's number one spot for Premier League and big soccer matches ... it showed all 104 World Cup games with the sound on in 2026 and opens early for Celtic F.C.

Treasure Island · american, seafood

Helene's surge put nine feet of water into this Gulf Boulevard bar. Owner Brad Piche rebuilt it to take the next flood ... concrete bars, flood gates, closed-cell foam, fiberglass panels in place of drywall, raised electrics and capped plumbing. 'We didn't want to put a band-aid on hurricane repairs,' he told Bay News 9. It reopened in late February 2025 with three bars and a new stage, using food trucks while the kitchen was finished.

4th Street North · gastropub, cuban sandwich

A Florida-themed gastropub owned by St. Pete natives Pete Boland and Ian Taylor. The full menu runs until 2am and a late-night kitchen menu carries on to the 3am close ... steaks, seafood, tacos and a Cuban sandwich. I Love the Burg calls it St. Pete's legit local pub, the place locals watch game after game.
