Things To Do

Green Bench Brewing Company

Green Bench was St. Pete's first microbrewery. They don't serve food, but you can grab something at one of the restaurants nearby (Bodega, Mercado, Hawkers). Food trucks may be on site as well.

The Ale and the Witch

One of our favorite spots. If you like good beer and music, then you'll love it. Awesome selection of craft beer, great service and a courtyard that provides magical acoustics for all the free live shows they offer. Don't like beer? Wine Madonna next door has a great selection of wines and champagnes.

The Canopy

The rooftop bar at the Birchwood Inn. Great views, food and drinks! Happy Hour M-F until 7pm.

Hops and Props

Craft beer bar with a nice patio on the water. They also serve cajun boiled peanuts and smoked meats. We bike to Hops & Props A LOT. If Lex is behind the bar, tell her we say hi!

The Avenue Eat + Drink

Avenue is the FSU bar downtown. We bike here a good bit, great spot to catch a sports game or just get some quick food. Great apps, burgers, sandwiches, salads and a nice Friday Happy Hour deal until 7pm. On Sundays they also offer brunch, bottomless mimosas & bloody marys.

Ruby's Elixir

Ruby's Elixir is downtown St. Petersburg's premier live music lounge with music seven nights a week. Ruby's offers an extensive collection of premium spirits, beer, and wine. Smoking inside as well, so heads up on that and it's also connected to a Cigar Bar.

Red Mesa Cantina

Great outdoor courtyard and rooftop. Perfect for lunch, dinner or brunch.

Engine No. 9

In the mood for a burger - go here. Blue Goose is next door. Fun bar with billards and darts.

Shine Mural Tour

St. Pete is known for amazing murals and art. Hop on a Coast Bike (the blue bikes all around town) or walk and take the mural tour!

Brick & Mortar

Our favorite upscale restaurant. Amazing food, small restaurant, great service.

The Dali Museum

Even if you're not the museum type, the Dali is beautiful to just see inside and outside. It's free to enter the gift shop and visit the gardens outside, plus they have a nice cafe with soups, salads and sandwiches.

Chihuly Collection

Beautiful exhibits of blow glass by Dale Chihuly.

Vinoy Park

Walk along the water, have a picnic, bike/run the trail.

Fort De Soto Park

A little outside of St. Petersburg, but this state park is beautiful.

Lolita's Wine Market

Briant’s favorite wine & cheese spot.

Craft Kafe

Coffee shop and gluten free bakery

Banyan Coffee & Tea Co.

Great breakfast joint.

The Oyster Bar

Great happy hour specials and oysters. Other food isn't the best but if you're in the mood for oysters this is the place.

Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails

Coffee, teas, cocktails and an oyster pop-up. Bocce courts outside also!

Mazzaro's Italian Market

The Wooden Rooster

Delicious breakfast in a casual setting. Order inside and grab a table outside. Giant crepes, sandwiches, baked goods, coffees and salads.

Paul's Landing

Great views, eats and drinks. A little pricey but a fun splurge. Our recs - The fish dip, smoked wings, chicken & waffles, and any beverage that’s made with Old St. Pete ;)
