50 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.“

“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!“

“Exceptional service cocktails and food. I have been here multiple times and each time the bartenders go above and beyond. Great cocktails always a smile and they remember my name. What a 5 star cocktails and restaurant bar should be.
Bartenders Lala and Natalie are incredible! Mia is fairly new but will fit right on with the top notch service!
Thanks again for always delivering A 1 top notch service!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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 .“

“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!“

“Delicious! Passing thru and decided to stop because we didn’t want to wait an hour at another place. Sooooo glad we did! Girls LOVED the smash burgers-perfect texture, seasoning—perfection!
Tried the soups they are known for and their signature dish the shrimp pasta—wow!!! Erect combination of flavor and consistency and the shrimp were cooked just right! Even my husband kept grabbing a bite!
Highly recommend this place!!“

“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.“

“A week and a half ago we had the opportunity to enjoy some warm soup and cognac, of course, on the patio.. chilly night. And our amazing server Colby, made it warmer and happier...he was very thoughtful and kind, brought us blankets 😀 to keep us warm, all while providing very attentive customer service. What a precious evening he facilitated for my family. I am grateful and highly recommend him!!!! Thanks so much, Colby.“

“I frequent this bar and cannot recommend it enough, the menu is extremely creative and the bartenders are top notch. Maurice has knocked every drink out of the park and impresses me every time I stop in, if you’re looking for great craft drinks in St Pete you’ve found the right spot!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wow, what a wonderful experience! Went on a Saturday night and even though it was packed, the service we received was stellar. We were seated in the outside patio where there was a private party of about 30 people and even though the staff was busy with that party, they still managed to pay attention to our small party of 3. Our server was very attentive and got our drinks quickly. The specialty drinks were so good! The Cupid's Margherita and the Cupid's Mocktail highly recommend. As for the food, the Sweet Corn Esquites was fresh and delicious. We opted for a Taco Tour and we're not disappointed! The tacos al pastor were amazing as well as the taco beria...try them, you will not be disappointed....and we'll, the atmosphere was great, the decorations added to the ambiance. Overall an wonderful experience. Can't wait to see what they come up with for St. Patrick's Day.“

“I’m a local. This is a good spot.“

“My favorite bar in St Pete. Everything is perfect- the vibe, the bartenders, the beautiful and creative drinks, the house music, and lots of great places to sit. Unless it’s super late night on Friday or Saturday, you can easily hear each other talking. It’s the best atmosphere to come and vibe together. I absolutely love that they offer hemp cocktails and THC seltzers. Such a fun option when you don’t feel like drinking alcohol.“
