St. Pete Bars: Where to Start

Pick a St. Pete bar by the night you want: a rooftop, a listening room, a dive or a taproom.

St. Pete has a bar for almost any night. Start with the kind of night you want.

St. Pete rooftop bars

The Canopy looks over Beach Drive from a 1924 building. Cane & Barrel is the rum bar on a hotel roof downtown. Pier Teaki sits at the very end of the Pier, with the skyline behind you.

St. Pete listening bars, where the records matter

In Between Days plays records a full side at a time and pours what local press calls the largest sake collection in Florida. Easy Tiger HiFi Lounge opened in April 2026 around a vintage speaker system.

A St. Pete dive bar with free shows

The Bends calls itself a classy dive. It has put on free shows by local and touring bands since 2012.

St. Pete breweries and a 22-seat basement bar

Green Bench is the oldest brewery in the city. For something small, The Winfield has 22 seats in the basement of the downtown food hall.
