15 Best Cocktail Bars in Saint Petersburg

“Richard and Kenzie took such great care of us! This bar is so unique and specially curated. From the decor and seating to the unique & generously priced drinks, everything is perfect. We had such a nice time and felt so welcomed. You cannot go wrong with any of the drinks, they were all delicious. It is so shocking how well priced the drinks are when you hear the time and love that goes into crafting these unique recipes. I cannot recommend this place enough, we can’t wait to come back! xo“

“Hands down the best cocktail bar in St Pete. The drinks are the best in the city and the atmosphere is perfect! The service is always great and for a place that doesn’t take reservations we have never had to wait. Highly recommend the dip baby dip drink!“

“We’ve been coming here for about a year and absolutely love it. Not too many nice restaurants with great food can accommodate us now that we have a toddler. We are usually able to snag a seat outside where she can run around and the food is excellent and the service is even better.

We bought our extended family here for a big meal and they were able to accommodate us and treated us so well

We’ve loved everything we’ve tried here and really enjoy the staff and the vibe.

Some favourites are the rules, the Korean fried sandwich, all the seafood plates, the beef empanadas and wagyu beef carpaccio. I enjoyed the Kyle and Brussel salad, even though I normally don’t really care for those items.

And all the desserts are divine“

“Fun place on a Saturday afternoon. Great selection of beer and alcohol with generous pours.“

“I rarely write reviews but the Red Thread deserves even more than one. The epitome of service, warmth, and thoughtfulness I truly can’t say enough about this fun, singular & dynamic place. The exceptional service from Elijah and Kenzie immediately put you at home, and the food (the wings!! & Shrimp app) will keep you there forever. So excited that we found this vibe we’ve been back three times but a thousand wouldn’t be enough! We got the Dessert rose, an aromatic drink & the tequila “The Secret” as well. So balanced & beyond fresh.“

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

“Wow such a cool vibe here! Made it very whiskey/bourbonish with decor. Loved the Cheers sign as a Boston Guy! Great comfy bar seats and so many choices of bourbon and whiskey it is crazy. Loved the old fashioned drinks and service we got will definitely be back.“

“We only came to cognac after getting turned away from a restaurant we had already made a reservation for (yet they said the kitchen was closing in 9 minutes!).
Anyway, we called Cognac, they were open and amenable. Our food was delicious. Out server was fantastic and helped everyone at the table feel great. Items ordered:
Sirloin with potatoes
Steak frites
Clams in white wine
Oysters
Ice cream
Creme brûlée
Everything was perfection. Highly recommend.“

“Gorgeous ambiance, great service and delicious food. Have been twice already and will keep going back until I’ve worked my way through the extensive menu. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“2 nd Stop on Pub Crawl Happy St Pates“

“Their brunch menu is outstanding!!! Service is outstanding!!! Atmosphere is outstanding!!! Highly recommend!“

“The original location for the Oyster Bar has been transformed into a sophisticated cocktail and lounge bar with St Petersburg BEST HAPPY HOUR if you enjoy quality call liquors. Great selection of Bourbon & Whiskey and fun Shots & Shooters.“

“Fettuccine primavera had a good blend of vegetables, including squash. Sauce seemed buttery and homemade. There was a bit of spice but nothing overbearing or offensive. Bread and salad was good too. Food was still hot when delivered by Doordash on bike.“

“TIP: The Mexican Street Corn side is a MUST! Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with excellent food and drinks at Parasol. The chicken wrap, blackened shrimp, and carne asada tacos and the street corn were excellent. Drinks were very good to. All the staff were friendly and they did not mind that we lingered for quite a long time through the afternoon.“

“I DO recommend the Casual Clam but PLEASE change the Bloody Mart mix! The 7's Bloody Mary SUCKS!“
