45 Best Cocktail Bars near Tierra Verde

“Excellent food and service plus very affordable prices! The paella, shrimp+grits and shrimp+pasta were all delicious. However, it was the curry shrimp+rice and the ceviche that were the show stoppers. The curry sauce was absolutely incredible! And the trio of ceviche were so unique and delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“This is a near-perfect rooftop location with views of the ICW and Gulf all around you. The ambience is enhanced by the magnificent views and the terrific tapas that is their typical offering. We were very pleasantly surprised by the addition of a Sunday Brunch service which was the best we have had on the Gulf Coast.“

“Visited The Scott inside the entrance of The Cordova Inn before starting my day in downtown St. Pete recently and chose a latte from their menu. It was fantastic coffee with fresh ingredients. I'll be visiting again for the perfect start to the day. Nice to have a local cafe within walking distance from Williams park.“

“Pu Pu platter, Ahi tuna, wings, wedge salad, all were awesome as well the tiki cocktails. Thomas and Morgan were great waitstaff. Company needs to be aware that AC systems may be inadequate for Florida summers! Time to truly insulate storefront glazing!“

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

“Food is great! The cauliflower and dip is fantastic! The charcuterie board comes in different sizes- we had the small for 2 people & found the items delectable. All portions are generous. The Sea Sun pinot noir a bit too sweet for my tastes, but a good deal for happy hour. The Caymus cabernet is a good alternative.Staff needs a bit of training, but I recommend Copper Shaker. We live near by and have been coming in for past several years.“

“The title of this review is the Dublin Sour. I returned to Saint Petersburg for work after moving away 6 years ago. After having a work dinner on the Pier, I recommended the group go for another drink at the Vinoy. I could not be more pleased with the service at the Veranda. I asked our bartender if he could prepare a Dublin Sour, and he delivered a delicious drink following what appeared a great deal of effort. I enjoyed the first one so much, I ordered a second. Our bartender Ryan did a great job.“

“From the moment I walked in Morgan was very responsive, not only welcoming but she was very specific from my drink to my refill she actually was very attentive and responsive. I have not had service like her like she was on point the entire night when you go there I fully recommend her pass that point if you don’t, you won’t appreciate the real service you could be .“

“The apps and entrees were really good. Dessert was not our favorite. Oil and olives in ice cream and cookies? Strawberry pepper ice cream? Not again for us. Menu changes about quarterly. Service was good.“

“The best bread pudding I have ever had in my life!! And the mac n cheese, yes please 🤤 The main courses were fantastic too and the artwork had good vibes. Did I mention the bread pudding?!“

“Tonight was my first visit to Allelo on Beach Drive in St. Pete. We didn’t have a reservation but were lucky to get seats at the bar around 7 p.m. They mentioned they were fully booked, though we did notice a few tables open both when we arrived and when we left. Still, we ended up having a great time at the bar! The female bartender was pretty friendly and attentive, and the bar back (a male) was busy helping with table and silverware setup ~ both were good. We ordered the Baby Gem Salad, Mussels in a delicious tomato sauce, and the Cocktail Shrimp, which were all fantastic. The cocktails were unique and interestingly crafted. The espresso martini had an interesting twist ~ a subtle touch of amaro that gave it depth. The lemon drop martini was made with their house lemonade, which gave it a refreshing and slightly unexpected flavor. My friend ordered the Aperol Spritz and really enjoyed it too. It was a bit loud inside, so next time I’ll definitely ask to sit outside, especially in this beautiful weather. The restaurant has a charming patio right on Beach Drive, a cozy bar area, and another smaller dining room to the right as you walk in. The space is beautifully decorated, with a hand-painted mural of birds by a local artist. They even provided a list so guests can learn about each bird featured on the wall ~ a thoughtful touch! I’m surprised it took me this long to visit, especially since I consider myself quite the foodie. Allelo has been open for 5 years, and after tonight, I can definitely say I’ll be back soon!“

“I had very low expectations when I found this place on Google maps I was just hungry. Pulling into the parking lot my expectations didn't improve. But all that changed when we walked through the doors. the staff were sincerely nice and efficient. What was a pleasant surprise was the food was actually very good. My daughter ordered the pasta with lobster. She loved it. Mine was a salmon with crab on top. The sauce was rich and flavorful. The broccoli that came with my entree was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We also had the mussels and clams. The seafood in every dish was fresh. What stood out was we got this great service and incredible food at a really reasonable price“

“We visited twice during our annual stay and loved it! The food was amazing and staff were very friendly. I would recommend this place off the beaten path because of the great service. We will 100% be back again and will tell our friends to make a stop. Thank you to the nicest staff for making our visit so lovely.“

“2 nd Stop on Pub Crawl Happy St Pates“

“Lovely experience will definitely go again“

“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.“

“We ate at the restaurant and the food was amazing and the prices are very reasonable. We will be back!!“

“Mr. Maurice Took very care of me and my party & actually offered everything he thought I would like and actual served me something I really enjoyed. Very impressed with how fast he served us (party of 6) and had great quality service. Thank you very much Maurice!“

“Love the vibes every time I’m at this place. The drinks are tasty, the bartenders are so friendly and knowledgeable on all the different tequilas but my favorite bartender is Cierra she makes a mean tequila cocktail but serves the BEST iced water 12/10 recommend!“

“I’m a local. This is a good spot.“

“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.“

“Ever since I first saw the Don CeSar, I knew I wanted to get married at the historic hotel for it’s grand appearance and beautiful décor. From the moment we toured the hotel to our wedding weekend, the Don CeSar was nothing short of amazing to work with for our destination wedding. Despite being closed for 6 months due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the Don CeSar General Manager, Barbara, and the Director of Events, Kasey, had open communication and made the entire wedding planning experience as seamless as possible. They were compassionate, caring, and did everything in their power to make sure the hotel and its courtyard was reopened (and in great condition!) in time for our wedding. (We were the first wedding back the weekend of hotel’s reopening.) Kasey, Barbara, the hotel staff, and the hotel banquet team (chefs, servers, and bartenders) went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was the best day of our lives. We truly received a royal experience as the bride and groom. Additionally, the hotel and its staff made sure that our guests were properly accommodated. Every single one of our guests were impressed by the hotel staff’s amazing top tier service and had nothing but great things to say about the hotel. When it came to the actual wedding day, the banquet team provided first class service. They even accommodated unexpectedly moving our cocktail hour indoors due to rain without missing a beat. The banquet chef prepared an impressive meal to perfection for our 180 guests. One guest even made sure to comment that it was “the best filet and salad” they had ever had. The pastry chef, Amanda, also prepared a cake that was a rendition of my grandmother’s 1950's wedding cake. The spectacular appearance and taste well exceeded our expectations. The servers and bartenders were nothing short of amazing as well. There were no lines to get a drink, and each server was very attentive. My planner, florist, and rental companies had zero issues working with the venue to set up the grand ballroom. The band/violinist were able to perform without any issues. Our wedding day/weekend was truly perfect and the Don CeSar made it memorable and beyond anything I could’ve ever dreamed of. I would highly recommend this wedding venue to any newly engaged couple looking for the best beach wedding experience. There is nothing else quite like the Don CeSar.“

“Always a friendly greeting, and attentive staff. Relaxed, casual atmosphere. Delicious food.“

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

“Beautiful Roof Top View, Very Comfortable Bed, Clean Spaceful Room,Bed, Pool & Hot Tub Felt Great, We Enjoyed Staying At Cambria Hotel&We Will Be Back Again Soon!“

“Great drinks, great bartenders, great music! The people vaping pot inside isn't great when you get a face full.“

“Only at happy hour , otherwise oysters are expensive“

“Beautifully amazing! The experience is a wonder so much to see. I am very blessed to have experienced it! The main attraction, though, was our server, "Megan" . Not only was she the sweetest, most attentive, and wonderful person, but she was very knowledgeable about history! Words can not describe how she should be running customer service there !! " Paris Hilton would love her and love it there." A definite must experience!! As always, tip your servers well!!“

“Went to check out the scene and was pleasantly greeted with great music as well as phenomenal views. Food was mediocre at best but not really what I was there for. My bartender was super sweet, plus the area was luxuriously spacious. Definitely check this place out, I’ll be back!“

“Recently spent the evening of my Birthday here and what a great time it was. Staff is super friendly and on top of everything from drinks to security! Highly recommend and plan to be back in the near future.“

“We went here for my birthday during spooky Season. The restaurant was so cute and aesthetic! This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in st pete! I am a little disappointed that they downsized their menu. They used to have the best burrito with steak (I forgot what it was called), and it was so cheesy and saucy. Now they have one burrito option with your choice of protein. It wasn't cheesy or saucy at all. There was a tiny bit of queso on top but overall it was very dry and not good. Also, i should add: I'm a vegetarian and I would order the burrito with the meat on the side and give it to someone I was with. There aren't many other vegetarian options anymore. Drink options are great! I'll definitely return but only for chips, salsa, queso, and margaritas. I won't be getting entrees there anymore.“

“Beautiful and clean hotel, nicest staff ever! They are not just dog friendly, they are dog lovers!!!“

“Me and my partner own the Royal Tot tiki bar in Charlotte. The menu is a little Gin heavy for a Tiki bar. We tasted 9 drinks from the menu but there is a wide variety. Some we liked, some weren't our jam but all of them were mixed well. Good bartenders (Cuba and another bartender that knew what she was doing), heavy pours, great DJ, great vibe, cool spot. Wish the second level was open but we came in Sunday to Monday late night. Great spot, great crowd. Will definitely come again the next time we are here. We know what goes into it. Keep up the great work!“

“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.“

“Great location with good food, drinks and great service. Best place for sunsets and catching your favorite sports“

“We had a really fantastic brunch. Everything about this restaurant is elevated. Fantastic service, very special presentation of excellent food, beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend. I found the prices very reasonable.“

“Our first time at Paul's Landing. Chose it looking for a new venue with at least a view of the Bay. Intended to sit outside but it was raining so inside we went. Our server, Molly, was top notch. She knew the menu, took good care of us with good timing, and was fun to talk with. Somewhere we had heard about the Tampa biscuits. Molly warned us that it was a large order but figured we could always take leftovers home. Hands down the BEST biscuits we have ever had. They are dessert-worthy if savory over sweet is your preference. Everything else we ordered was very good. We had Yellowfin Tuna Appetizer, Baby Spinach Radicchio Salad with Salmon added, Lobster Roll with Sweet Potato Wedges, and those fabulous biscuits. No dessert - we were stuffed. My only negative comment has nothing to do with the food or service. The restaurant is located in the Vinoy Resort (beautiful, historic property). The accessible entrance is at the main entrance to the resort and the restaurant is at the extreme opposite end of the property. There is no separate accessible entrance to the restaurant.“

“I was there for my birthday and I had a great time the ambiance was great and our waitress was so pleasant her name is Jeanae. I enjoyed talking to her.“

“My husband and I stay at Hotel Zamora exceeded our expectations. The cleanliness of the rooms were immaculate with a nice ambiance. The entire staff was very welcoming and professional. Nicole went above and beyond to accommodate my husband and I during our honeymoon/1st anniversary!!!!!
Nicole provided exceptional service upon our arrival!!!!
We enjoyed nice bikes rides on the beach as complimentary bikes and kayaks were provided by hotel.
The views from the rooftop bar were breathtaking and the presence of intracoastal waterway presented a peaceful and calming atmosphere..
I honestly have nothing negative to say about our stay Hotel Zamora and highly recommend!!!“

“All around great time, great food, great drinks and amazing service. Can’t wait to go back again!“
