We stopped for drinks on a Wednesday night and there were few patrons. There was live music that was way too loud to be able to carry on a conversation within our group. The music was decent, just too loud. Service and drinks were fine, nothing bad, nothing exceptional. read more

Flute and Dram - Champagne Bars Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

I like the live music here. We live down the street so we stop in for a happy hour drink right before the music starts. If we're enjoying it we stay longer. The outside seating makes for good conversations with new friends. It's also a good people watch spot. The drinks are good and I get to enjoy a cigar now and then. The food is really upscale for more of a cocktail atmosphere. The service is always the best!! read more

Flute and Dram - Happy hour Old Fashion. Check out the big cube. - Champagne Bars Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

We popped in for just one drink, and it was a decent experience. The drinks were actually pretty good, and our server was super friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was just okay--nothing bad, but also nothing that made us want to stay longer. It's a fine spot for a quick drink, but probably not somewhere we'd spend an entire evening. read more

Flute and Dram - Champagne Bars Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Any bar that has Champagne, Caviar, and Whiskey has got to be a cool place and F&D delivers. The service here is always on point as the staff are a lot of fun. The wine and champagne selections are solid. The Caviar menu is huge! If you're into any of the 3 above I mentioned it's worth a visit. You can also become a member for $300 annually which gets you 15% off everything you order and access to special events. They also sell cigars here which you can smoke outside. read more

Great Place, Great Ambience and Great Staff! Drinks are Great as well! Keep up the great hard work team!

So glad we found this place! Definitely more of an adult experience; perfect for date night-day! It is casual but an elevated casual, which we love! The menu selection is good but not large. The drink selection is fabulous. If you enjoy champagne and caviar this Is THE location. The food is fabulous! The pizza is delicious and the caviar chips are fabulous! Inside and outside seating. Outside seating is doggie friendly and if you enjoying a cigar after dinner this is a great place to be! The service is wonderful. read more

If I could give zero I would. I rarely write reviews, but our recent visit to Flute and Dram. Carolyn was my server at Flute and Dram left such a sour taste that I feel obligated to share. What was meant to be a pleasant evening THAT WAS MY FRIENDS BIRTHDAY it quickly devolved into an incredibly uncomfortable experience due to the behavior of one of your servers. Not only were we treated with palpable dismissiveness upon arrival, but what transpired afterward was flat-out unacceptable. While we were seated, we could clearly hear a server and bar patron speaking negatively about us -- completely within earshot. The comments were unprovoked, unprofessional, and shockingly petty. It's one thing to be treated with indifference, but to overhear disparaging remarks about your presence, appearance, or behavior from a PAYING CUSTOMER of the establishment is beyond inappropriate. This kind of conduct is absolutely not in line with the caliber of service expected at a venue positioning itself as upscale or refined. It reflects a stunning lack of training, oversight, and basic customer respect. Instead of fostering a welcoming, elevated environment, this bartender chose to gossip with patrons like they were in a high school cafeteria. Needless to say, we won't be returning -- and we'll be sharing this experience with others who value professionalism and class when they choose where to spend their money. Carolyn from Flute and Dram neee to address if this is how guests are spoken about behind their backs -- or worse, within earshot. Do better. read more

Had a really disappointing experience with one of the managers during our visit. A blonde woman who identified herself as a manager approached us in a very rude and confrontational way, telling us we couldn't stand in a certain area. Instead of explaining the issue respectfully, she escalated the situation and got into a heated exchange with us. To top it off, she then slapped a magnet sign in the area saying not to stand there -- which felt incredibly petty and passive-aggressive. The whole encounter was unprofessional and left a bad impression. Definitely expected better behavior from someone in a leadership role. read more

Flute and Dram - Sign and manager.. - Champagne Bars Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

Popped in on a Monday night and was pleasantly surprised to see they had live music even on a Monday. Although I'm sure the neighbors probably wish they had some reprieve from what seems like an amplification competition between F&D and Tryst next door, the sound level wasn't nearly as bad as on a weekend night. On a weekend night, you can't carry on a conversation as you walk past these 2 places because of the volume. But tonight it was an appropriate sound level and they had the fans on full blast outside. The highlight was the cool fans set up, which would have made for a really comfortable time sitting on the patio, if it weren't for getting inundated with cigar smoke. At the time, there were 4 different people smoking cigars outside, and with the fans blowing, there was no escaping having to wash my hair immediately when I got home because I smelled like an ash tray...which is the only reason I can't make this patio a regular weeknight watering hole hangout. read more

Finally stopped in for drinks after reading about this place. Cool atmosphere. Grabbed a seat inside but looking outside. Pretty good seats actually. To say the least they have an awesome selection of whiskey. Bartenders are top notch. The angels envy old fashioned was so good. The food is good too! We had the Tuna tartar. Delicious. Very fresh. read more

Came here for happy hour after work. Olivia was our server and she was absolutely amazing. She truly sets the bar at an all time high. Her recommendations were spot on. She was there to address drink refills before the last sip. An absolute gem. Highly recommend her as a server! Their old fashions are great. Lots of great drink choices and they have great specials for happy hour. The food is absolutely amazing. It's like Michelin star quality food. We only had a couple of appetizers but they were outstanding! Good selection of cigars as well, although the two that we had picked are difficult to smoke. We had to continuously relight them close to about 20 times. Duds. I likely wouldn't get another cigar from here. I'm looking forward to coming back here again and again. Very highly recommended! read more

I love their indoor/outdoor space and the drinks are good. We came here to pre game an Escape Room. It was around 4:30 p.m. on a Wednesday so there wasn't anyone else here yet. The bartender was really nice. I got a dirty martini and my coworkers got whiskey. I'm guessing the whiskey selection here is top notch, since my coworker who chose this place really enjoys his bourbon. I enjoyed my dirty martini. They have a lot of sofa seating outside and a couple of tables. I like that it's covered and the ceiling has fans and it has heat lamps (I know, heat lamps in Florida? It happens that we are having an abnormally long winter so this is one time that heat lamp was appreciated.) I'd like to know how they keep their outdoor furniture so clean, because I am not able to do that. This place is right in the heart of a lot of restaurants/bars so it's a great place to hang out for a night. read more

Good chicken wings and fries. A little shocked about that haha. Not a bad place to hangout when the weather is nice. Friendly bartenders and staff. read more

Love this place. Staff is so nice and make you feel special and at home. Great place to have a cigar or a have a bite to eat in an amazing setting with live music every day! Yes live music every day. Absolute best place for people watching is on the outdoor couches at Flute N Dram in downtown St Petersburg Petersburg right on beach drive. read more

We were walking to the Parkside Grill for dinner when we passed the Flute and Dram, which looked like my kind of place -- a bar that offers a very solid selection of bourbons, a dark wood interior with outdoor seating, and cigars for sale. My wife and I are all about finding a bar with cool vibes and a nice whiskey selection; therefore, going to this place for an after-dinner drink or two made sense. We spent a good couple of hours outside on one of the patio sofas while a musician played his guitar in front of the storefront of Flute and Dram. Situated on Beach Drive, this place has good vibes that lead to good times. I enjoyed a pour of Weller Antique 107 and Four Roses Small Batch Select while smoking on an Oliva Serie V Melanio. The pours for what I ordered weren't astronomical ($16-18 per pour, which is decent for what I had). The bartender was great and attended to us fairly quickly. I would return the next time we stay in downtown St. Petersburg. read more

You can't find a better place with more wine & champagne offerings, live music, great service, outdoor seating and limoncello cake in all of St. Petersburg. There's at least one live artist each night. On the night we were there, there were THREE. We've had different wait staff and never had a bad experience. If you're in the area, definitely worth visiting. You'll be happy that you did. read more

I like flute and dram. I, like the vibe and live music. I feel like the drinks are not very good, especially the ones on happy hour but even the regular ones aren't the best. I used to like their happy hour a lot but the drinks are terrible now on HH and they don't have food on HH anymore. Service is hit or miss but they are always friendly. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon Flute and Dram when we were taking a stroll along Beach Drive. Their sidewalk sign advertising champagne, cocktails and caviar immediately drew us in. We were hesitant to stop in with our one and three year old boys, but there was only one couple at the bar and the bartender assured us that the crowd would be mellow at 2pm. The interior of Flute and Dram has a cool "man cave" vibe with lots of dark wood and large, comfortable leather couches. My husband was immediately intrigued by the bottle of whisky that was sitting next to Pappy Van Winkle on the bar. I selected a glass of champagne recommended by our waitress. We were both very pleased with our choices. What pairs best with expensive whiskey and champagne? Caviar! In addition to the caviar we ordered a wagyu carpaccio, tuna tartare, and a prosciutto and melon appetizer. We were interested in the foie gras and burrata, but sadly neither of those appetizers were available during our visit. All of our appetizers were beautifully presented with high quality ingredients. The tuna tartare was my favorite appetizer on the menu. I was slightly disappointed that the restaurant doesn't serve any bread and our caviar was served with water crackers instead of blinis (Russian pancakes), toast points or bread. I don't think it would cost more to serve bread from one of the local bakeries instead of boring water crackers from a box. These small details make the difference between a four star and five star experience. My husband and I don't usually blow $400 on an afternoon snack, but we rarely go out since we have kids and felt in the mood to splurge. Everyone was so nice to us and our toddlers and I would definitely return to Flute and Dram! read more

Such a great bar by the St.Pete Pier! The service was great and I really enjoyed how they have two sections , one for social and live music then the other side for more quiet one on one type convos. Both sides have bars so you can decide what area is your mood for the night! I had a great time tonight for Rosé Night and would def be back next time I'm in St.Pete! read more

Came before and after dinner and both visits were great. Stephane was knowledgeable and entertaining. Will definitely be coming back

Don't sit at the bar at the cigar bar!! Bartender is pregnant and not allowing you to smoke your cigar.

Great spot for happy hour! Side outside and people watch while enjoying great craft cocktails, whiskey and wine! Live music also! Small and cozy inside but the outside seating is the best! Right on beach blvd. So you can see the water and all the beautiful people walking by! Great service and knowledgeable staff! The cheese boards are excellent also! read more

Best bar in downtown St. Petersburg on Beach Dr. great live music all night!! don't miss it

The first night I walked into F&D back in 2021 was the 2nd night I had moved into the area not knowing anyone. Wanting a champagne, I walked with little expectations. I was greeted warmly by Steve who welcomed me to a seat, diving into the various champagne and bourbons he had available while he artfully tossed shakers theough the air. Feeling ambitious, I started to ask questions about the area, nightlife and Steve walked me through the crash course of St Pete. I was impressed. His service was excellent, and I felt more at home than any other bar I'd been too in a long time. 4 years later, I'm glad to call St Pete my home, Flute N Dram my favorite go to, and I've met some extraordinary people including Steve who have become close friends thanks to magic of the place and its people. Don't know where else I'd recommend in St Pete for a drink or another wonderful group to take care of you when you visit. read more

Loved this cool little spot on St. Pete! We ended up stopping here after a long day on the pier and beach. We were swayed in by the spacious outdoor seating and live music (my fave ). I'll be honest, I was already pretty tipsy when we got here so I don't remember if they have food or not but their drinks were fantastic! They service was quick and speedy, even though it was pretty crowded for a Sunday night. The live music was such a vibe out on the patio with the Florida sun. A great place for a happy hour or to stop for a night cap. They also have cigars you can order and smoke on the patio!! My man loved that. They have indoor seating & bar plus a large outdoor patio (perfect for people watching) and even bar seating outside as well. Will definitely come back if I'm ever in Tampa again! read more

Found this place by chance and decided to check it out. 100% recommend it. We had a small plate of smoked salmon and one rose champagne flight and a whiskey. I asked for it to be smoked ($2 up charge and worth it)! We then had two glasses of Veuve. It really is about the whiskey and champagne. That and our server was fantastic. Cheers. read more

Staff was rude. Not helpful. In my opinion. I asked for a manger and staff said there was no manager

This place has great potential, but seemed like the "older rich" crowd goes here. It was way too loud inside also, but they do have outside seating. Anyway it didn't stop us... but the bar tender completely ignored us even though there was only like 10 people in the bar. When he did finally get around to us, we ordered a couple of bubbly cocktails, which were super strong! I think he was trying to make it up to us. If probably come back to try their flights. read more

I'm updating my review to take a star away. I don't think I'll be back. As much as I want to like it here, to charge $2 for a single large cube when you're a whiskey bar is nonsense and insulting.
