St. Pete Beer, Wine & Booze

Treasure Island · american, seafood

Caddy's calls this one 'The Original', the beach bar on Sunset Beach that the Madeira Beach and Indian Shores rooms grew from. Helene's surge in September 2024 buried it in sand and debris and Milton tore the roof days later; owner Marcus Winters told Tampa Bay 28 'It was like a warzone.' The building was gutted, lifted and rebuilt to current code while the bar ran out of a big tent under a Treasure Island emergency measure Winters credits with saving the business. It reopened in the rebuilt building with a ribbon cutting about 18 months after the storms, around 1 April 2026, with roughly 135 staff back at work.

St. Pete Beach · bar food, seafood, tacos, american

A grill and a beach bar on the sand, attached to a hotel on Gulf Boulevard, with seafood, tacos and frozen drinks and live music every day by its own account. I Love the Burg recommended it to parents for the soft sand, hammocks and children's options on the menu. A 2026 visitor review seen in search results says it reopened in February 2026 after hurricane damage.

It opened on 20 May 2025 and was added to the MICHELIN Guide Florida a year later. The guide describes an Italian-inspired steakhouse with high ceilings and large chandeliers ... wood-fired steaks, house-made pastas, focaccia rolls, radiatore alla vodka and a caramel coffee budino. There is an antipasti bar, a lounge that opens before the dining room, and a Sunday brunch. Wolen was a 2025 James Beard semifinalist for Outstanding Chef for his Chicago work.

Pass-a-Grille · seafood, american

The Falkenstein family from Baltimore bought the site in 1977 and built the restaurant out of what was left of an old hotel. The spot had held Page's Pavilion bathhouse, built in 1912, and later the Casa Bonita Hotel. The family added the first floor in 1986 and the upper floors, a banquet room and the rooftop bar in 1990. The roof deck, the Hurricane Watch, has two bars and a full-circle view of Pass-a-Grille. The grouper sandwich is the dish the restaurant puts forward.

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.

St. Pete Catalyst reported it as the only Florida restaurant serving Dean & Peeler steaks, dry-aged 45, 65 or 90 days. The Pluma lounge next door keeps more than 1,400 wines, and the patio faces North Straub Park and the yacht basins.

4th Street South · seafood, florida

A south-side fish camp with a backyard tiki bar and more than 15 fish preparations, by its own count. I Love the Burg describes the big courtyard of palms and nautical odds and ends where children build shell mounds while the grown-ups eat, with live music in the evening. The owners leased the old Coquina Meat Market across the street for a dessert and wine room, and the smoked wings went into Tropicana Field's food hall.

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.

Pass-a-Grille · american, seafood

A walk-up counter on the sand at Pass-a-Grille, open from 7 a.m. until half an hour after sunset. An old ship's bell beside the seawall is rung every evening as the sun goes down, and the bell came through the storms intact. Helene and Milton pushed sand and saltwater through the kitchen and it was closed for about four months, reopening in early 2025. Live music runs Friday to Sunday. A second counter operates at 6850 Beach Plaza.

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.

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.

St. Pete Beach · seafood, floribbean

The dining room is built around a 33,500 gallon aquarium that fills a wall. The own site describes Floribbean cooking and Gulf seafood, a sports bar with a deck, a boutique, and live entertainment every night on an indoor stage. Suncoast Family Fun lists it for children because of the tank.

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.

Gateway · american, seafood

A tiki bar and restaurant on the water at the St. Pete end of the Gandy Bridge, tagged by its own site with #comebylandorbysea. Suncoast Family Fun puts it first on its Pinellas list because tables sit on the sand where children can dig, and an old boat ramp lets them play at the water's edge with a table beside it. The own site books weddings, rehearsal dinners and birthdays under the tikis.

Grand Central District · seafood, oysters, steak

The Oyster Bar spent 24 years at 249 Central Avenue downtown, from 1999 until it closed there in 2023. Owner Josh Cameron of Craft Hospitality Group brought it back on 14 October 2025 in a new 3,200 square foot Grand Central room with 120 seats, 22 of them outside. The old signatures came with it ... buffalo shrimp, bacon parmesan-crusted grouper and raw oysters, with a dollar-oyster 'Aphrodisiac Hour' from 4 to 5pm. The site now names Daniel Walter as executive chef.

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.
