25 Best Bars in Saint Petersburg

“Grace was an amazing bartender! Very fast to take our orders and make our drinks.“

“The Green Room is an absolute gem in St. Pete. Their whiskey and bourbon selection is outstanding—whether you’re a casual fan or a serious enthusiast, you’ll find something special. But the real surprise is the food. It completely exceeds expectations for a place known for its bar program.

If you like Reubens, order it. Seriously. It’s one of the best I’ve had—perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Between the top-tier spirits, incredible food, and laid-back atmosphere, The Green Room is a spot I’ll keep coming back to and recommending to friends.“

“Super bartenders that work there. They make the best old fashioned and other cocktails that you could want. The owner is an amazing person who is up beat and the friendliest person. Definitely at place to check out. If you have different bourbons you really want to try chances are they have it!! Go check them out!!“

“Perfect spot. Music, Art and Spirits.“

“We love Pepe’s Cantina! All theee of us had Chicken Enchiladas with poblano sauce. House margs are on happy hour at lunch! Bartender/Mgr was so friendly! Chips and salsa were delivered as soon as we sat down…Will definitely return!“

“Tampa Bay Drinkery is bigger on the inside. It’s bigger on the inside, much much bigger and much much nicer. Super cozy seating, great prices, and an impressively strong classic cocktail menu — Aviation, Bee’s Knees, Vesper Martini, Sidecar, Harvey Wallbanger, Tom Collins, and more. Multiple bathrooms too, and they’re spacious and clean. Really great spot.“

“People here are always friendly and welcoming. Great kratom and espresso drinks, great prices as well. Love the atmosphere“

“I discovered this place by picking up uber passengers & decided to try it out. I’ve always loved a local neighborhood gem “Cheers” type bar. In the past month & a half I think I’ve visited 5 different times and I’ve enjoyed each & every time. I was warmly welcomed by Barb. She’s an excellent bartender and very great with people. I could tell she had skills right away! I also really love Morgan.. all the girls there are nice but I particularly go for Barb & Morgan. They’re the best! They remember my drink order, my name & always make you feel welcome. The music is also awesome.. a great mix of variety. I’ve definitely added this to one of my local faves! Cheers! 🥂“

“Great pre or post game meal destination“

“Have loved this place for years….great reasonably priced food, quick friendly service and a great atmosphere! Go at least once a month.“

“Amazing service and excellent food! Steph was an absolute pleasure to be served by!“

“Honestly not what I was expecting, but loved it nonetheless. We were waiting for a show to start and were looking for places to grab a bite a drinks prior. Looked on the map and found this little hidden gem. You walk in and order at the counter, grab a drink and pay. Definitely a locals place but I loved every minute of it. Live music was a plus. Cheese sticks were to die for“

“If you haven’t been to Sneaky’s yet, you’re seriously missing out on one of the hidden gems of the bar scene. I stopped in and it turned into one of those nights where everything just clicked. The atmosphere was laid-back but full of good vibes, the drinks were strong (and priced just right), and the bartenders were absolute rockstars—friendly, quick, and genuinely fun to talk to.

Pool was free tonight (yes, free!) and the tables were in great shape. Between shooting some darts and running the pool table with friends, the night couldn’t have been better. Even though it wasn’t packed wall-to-wall, that just made it feel like our own private hangout. Honestly, it was perfect—like the best kept secret in town where you can chill, laugh, and actually enjoy yourself without the chaos.

This is the kind of place that feels like home the minute you walk in, with bartenders that treat you like family and an atmosphere that makes you forget about everything else. Sneaky’s isn’t just a bar—it’s the bar.

Do yourself a favor: grab some friends, stop by, and experience it. You’ll leave wondering why you ever went anywhere else.“

Well, I would leave 10 stars, but they only allow you 5.

📣🍕 Calling all pizza fans! 🍕📣

As a pizza connoisseur who's tried pizza all over the world, I can honestly say Paizano's is one of my favorite spots in St. Pete. When I first moved here, it was one of the first places I visited, and I completely fell over on my two feet when I tried their pizza. The garlic crust is absolute perfection. 🤌🧄🍕

What keeps me coming back besides the word class pizza, is the family atmosphere. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and they practically know my order before I say it. You can tell this place is a community favorite where customers and staff genuinely enjoy seeing each other.

Don't let a line or a packed dining room keep you away—if anything, that's a sign you're about to have some outstanding pizza. 🔥🍕

And Josh, if you're reading this, the mozzarella sticks are to perfection. 🤌🧀

Great pizza, great people, and great service. Paizano's has earned every one of these five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
