50 Best Cocktail Bars near Treasure Island

“This was stop one on our dive bar a rama today. Comfy little locals bar near the beach. They have decent beer prices and they have a nice smoking area out front and in the back. We were here in the afternoon so it was not crowded but I did hear it can get that way.“

“Hey Mezzo Folks!

Miss my Mezzo people and enjoyed my Mezzo mornings with a warm coffee, kind smiles, and great conversation. Late afternoons with a Tropica in hand and a Florida sunset not far away!

Folks at Mezzo are awesome, service is excellent, and the drinks are on-point!

Based in Santa Fe now, so Iconic Coffee is my new spot, but Mezzo is a must stop during my next trip back to St Pete.

Five stars!

“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.“

“My server, Leo, was a sweetheart! Fantastic recommendations and every item and drink was expertly crafted! The happy hour old fashioned was amazing! Flavor here is complex and unique! I highly recommend and don’t give 5 stars out unless deserve it.“

“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 .“

“Stopped by last night (Valentine’s day) for oysters and cocktails after having a truly terrible experience at a neighboring restaurant.When we arrived, I was absolutely starving and feeling a bit down from our dinner experience. The oysters and cocktails were perfect, and instantly lifted the mood. The Vinoy is a wonderfully romantic setting, and the bar staff was so sweet and accommodating taking a picture when I asked. Highly recommend for any date night.Just wanted to say thank you to the bar staff. Y’all are phenomenal! ❤️“

“Have been curious about this restaurant and we finally gave it a try. The food was delicious and our waiter Jamie was awesome! They now have two loyal customers!“

“Kelly is the best server. Come see her and the staff.“

“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.“

“Review: Social Roost, St Petersburg, FL ---- St. Petersburg, FL, has been transforming into a unique cultural experience with vibrant stores and locally crafted products, dozens of local activities, museums, and attractions, but most importantly - leading the transformation are new restaurants and bars popping up every week that inspire us to go on a culinary journey. ---- As a seasoned traveler, having explored 68 countries and 36 states, I approach restaurant reviews with a clear criterion: Taste, Presentation, and Service. My goal is to provide an impartial perspective, highlighting both the commendable and deficient aspects of dining establishments. ---- Ambiance: Entering the restaurant, you can feel the vibe of a local gathering catering to friends, families, business lunches, and dates, along with the mixture of music, laughter, and conversation in the area. The décor brings together a combination of modern décor and sophistication, artsy flare, and a carefully curated bar area that is used to craft cocktails representative of a fusion of regions of the globe. There are two seating areas, tables throughout the dining area and a set of booths on the back wall. My advice to patrons visiting this restaurant is if you want to have a casual conversation without having to scream or speak loudly, do not sit on the back wall. The acoustics were terrible. We could barely hear each other speak. ---- Food: We visited this restaurant for Saturday Brunch, which allowed us to choose from an array of breakfast and lunch items. Unlike many restaurants that limit the selections, I found the menu provided a great deal of options for a wide variety of customers, making it challenging to choose which dishes to tantalize one's taste buds. ---- Chicken and Biscuits: a dish that often dawns many restaurants throughout the Southeast, this dish was truly elevated to not only represent the customary expectations of an authentic southern cuisine but goes beyond simple flavors to truly touch on all your senses from the warm flaky biscuits, the perfectly cooked and seasoned crispy chicken, a rich and savory flavor-filled sausage gravy, and an amazing blend of flavors raising the bar with their collard greens. ---- Brunch Bowl: Bowls can be either really good or really bad, depending on the chef who curates them. The largest mistake a chef makes is having overpowering ingredients that take away from all the flavors of the ingredients. This chef truly prepared a bowl with the balance of many different ingredients, allowing you to taste all the true flavors of the black beans, roasted corn, citrus pico de gallo, Peruvian chicken, pio pio sauce, poached egg, and pickled red onions laying on a bed of white rice. It truly brings the color and the flavors, and it magically brings new flavor profiles to every bite you take. ---- Egg Benedict: Placed on top of a flaky, buttery, and warm biscuit, this dish is topped with earthy, smoky, and flavorful collard greens, a crispy pork belly with savory flavors and slowly melting in your mouth, a poached egg providing that burst of runny egg yolks, and topped with their homemade hollandaise sauce which provides the velvety and tangy flavors to blend the flavors to top off this absolutely perfected modern view of a classic. ---- Overall, this restaurant truly brings all the necessary ambiance, service, and culinary dishes that truly elevate themselves beyond many of the restaurants throughout the St. Petersburg area – along with much of the Greater Tampa Bay.“

“great food, great music fun place“

“Sea Worthy has the most creative and delicious craft cocktails! Great for open air dining with a view. It’s hard to decide what to eat there because everything is good. The last time I went there I went for brunch, and it was absolutely out of this world!“

“very cool vibe, with great food. Awesome addition to the the area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Very tasty apps! I enjoyed my dinner at Stillwaters. The apps I tried were cheese curds, pork belly, and pretzels. They were so good. I am a big fan of a good cheese curd and these were breaded well with delightfully squeaky cheese. The pickled mustard seed dip for the baked pretzels was so good! Highly recommended. The pork belly was perfectly done. Crispy exterior and very juicy on the inside. Quite tasty. The apps are decent portions and very good. For my entree I got the meatloaf and it was very good. Super flavorful and well done. The mashed potatoes were the best part of that dish I thought. Only feedback is more mashed potatoes and season the carrots - not flavorful. The portion of the meatloaf was very generous. Two good size slices.

This tavern has a chill vibe with good food. Location is great, right by the water. Check it out if you’re in the area. Then go to Kilwins for some fudge.“

“I’ve been here multiple times it’s wonderful on the Palate! You have to come just to experience everything! The people are very nice, I really LOVED their pistachio cake that they had. But I totally understand how Chef’s love to create new menus for the seasons!“

“Snow crab special is well worth it for 20 bucks to start, drinks from the bar we're moderate. Gotta try the crab dip they have, it is to die for!!!

A+++ especially after a speedy reopen from both hurricanes wiping everything out!!!

Dietary restrictions: Not many gluten free meals but they can accommodate that for you

Parking: Maybe 12 spots to park behind the shells

Kid-friendliness: Def kid friendly, come on its Shells!!

Wheelchair accessibility: The whole facility is wheelchair accessible from what I saw, even outside patio is wide enough“

“2 nd Stop on Pub Crawl Happy St Pates“

“We’ve been twice and loved the food and drinks!“

“First time yesterday very good will definitely be back“

“The food, staff, and atmosphere are the best. Jay, David, Chris, and the entire staff are amazing and know how to treat people. The food is always top-notch. We eat there every time we're in St Pete Beach.“

“Asian Fusion with a Touch of Italian Green Pagoda has a pleasant atmosphere. They could do better quality control on making sure the plates are clean. Our server was pleasant and helpful with the menu. But after he took our order we didn’t see him again until we were done and asked for the check. (Someone else delivered the food.) So, he never checked to see if our food was OK or to refill water. As for the food, it was pretty good overall. We started with very nice coconut soup (basically a Thai tom kha), if slightly too sweet. The pork dumplings were very good. The ginger chicken entrée had nice flavor, but the chicken pieces were a little tough. The server highly recommended the snapper risotto, which seemed an odd choice for an Asian restaurant. Nevertheless, the snapper was a generous piece and nicely cooked. The sauce on it was delicious. The risotto, however, was on the gummy side when it should have had a silky texture. I would go to Green Pagoda again and try the whole fish and some sushi.“

“From one chef to another the culinary experience is absolutely phenomenal. The food the service everything was perfection. the decor of the hotel and the rooms are beautiful. A must stop whenever you are in town!“

“I first came here 6 months ago, Kayla is always so helpful explaining products when I drop in. One time I was having a real rough morning, she was so patient with me & allowed me to take my time at the bar before I left. Great people & vibes!!“

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

“Delicious food awesome staff and service!!“

“I’m a local. This is a good spot.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend a resort pass at Cambria Hotel in Madeira Beach. Full access to pool, a rooftop bar, food and an amazing place to watch the sunset. $40/person for the day!“

“Had a great time. Love the decor. Such a vibe. Great mocktails and small bites. Cant wait to go again and bring more friends.“

“Friendly staff! Best clam chowder! Will return!! Snow crab was abundant!“

“Thank you Wendy and Missy at the Pinellas Park store“

“Tequila Daisy is the best place for tequila based cocktails. The service is amazing and the drinks are delicious.

If you go you need to try the namesake drink Tequila Daisy it basically a reimagined margarita but better in every way

We have tried almost all of the named cocktails in their menu and they are all very very tasty.

If you are in downtown St. Petersburg this place needs to be on your list to stop in.“

“The legendary tub photo at Mandarin Hide is a MUST! The drinks are worth it ! The crowd at this bar in st Pete is always a good time ! I recently was a photobooth operator for a private event and the hospitality of the crew was astounding! They made sure every guest drink was perfectly crafted and made sure every one’s request was accommodated! I am highly recommending this spot for all my clients private parties!“

“This is an absolute gem of a location. Thanks so much to pool server Katie. She was warm, knowledgeable, accommodating, and took excellent care of my friends and me while we celebrated our very own Katie’s birthday. Can’t wait to return!“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Just left Grand Hacienda at Tyrone Mall in St Petersburg and was introduced to one of the best meals that is on their special menu introduced today. It is the birria ramen!! absolutely delicious. The flavor is amazing and it has pieces of tender birria beef found in their special tacos. It’s being prepared for a short period of time. Go try it…..you will love it!!“

“We have been coming to Nueva Cantina for years and it’s always been our go-to spot. With the recent change in ownership, we’ve already noticed some changes and we have been super pleased with what they have updated! Best margaritas in town for a decent price.“

“On 11/3 about 3:30 I stoped to have a beer. Totally drained as I lost everything w/Helene. Just wanted to relax and sit outside. Alissa was my server. Asked if I was hungry. No I really cannot afford this…just great to be out!!! When she came back a bit later w my bill she had a to go order w spaghetti and two huge meatballs and garlic bread!! N/Charge!!! What a wonderful thoughtful thing to do!!! Of course I cried… Kudos to Alissa and CD Romas for being so kind and generous!!! I am so grateful!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️??☮️??“

“I only stopped in for a couple of happy hour cocktails and they did not disappoint. Great service and their Bloody Mary was very good, not to mention this Brazil cocktail and many others that are house made and delicious! Thanks guys, I'll be back again!“

“Very nice selection of vegetarian options. My husband and my family are Hindu vegetarian. We love everything about this place“

“The wine was Appreciated very thoughtful“

“Big shout out and thank you to the patron and the bar staff who kept my lost wallet safe this weekend! I owe someone drink(ssss)!!“

“We went last night at the recommendation of someone we met a couple of weeks ago. The place is a typical old-style beachy bar with indoor and outdoor seating. We were pleasantly surprised that the food was so good. It’s not just bar food. Our server, Ashley, was excellent. We will definitely be back.“

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

“Great location in the Vinoy with nice views of boats and marina. Food was ok but shrimp (3) and grits was closer to soup. Valet parking was expensive , $12 for 1st hour and then another $12 for the 2nd hour, so still $12 even with restaurant discount since you're not likely to get out in less than an hour. Very noisy inside if there are more than 2 large parties of 6 so best to dine outside weather permitting.“
