This is a wonderfully intimate little bar with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The menu may be small, but everything is executed exceptionally well! Definitely a quality-over-quantity experience! We came for a double date and had a great time sharing several dishes, which I'd highly recommend if you're visiting with friends. It's the perfect spot for a more social, communal dining experience. I ordered the pickle martini, and as someone who loves both pickles and a good dirty martini, it absolutely delivered everything I could have hoped for. Also, the shrimp cocktail was also a standout: fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared! To top it all off, the service was excellent. Our waiter struck the ideal balance of attentive and engaging without ever feeling intrusive, giving us plenty of space to enjoy our time! Overall, a fantastic spot for great drinks, delicious bites, and a relaxed evening with people you enjoy! read more

Food was good. What got me was the drink with the goat cheese. I'm not usually a drinker but that was a great concoction. Oysters were amazing. Wasn't a big fan of the caviar bread bites - was pricey and portion was insanely small. read more

Lovee slim charmer!! It's dark, moody, and intimate. The drinks are amazing--my go-to's are the dirty spice (pickle martini) and the espresso martini! The food is also pretty good. I loved the stracciatella + caviar bread and crudo. The mushroom and crab toasts were just okay. You definitely need a reservation since there are so few seats. read more

Very small joint but they managed to get us a booth in the back for a quick drink. Everything sounds good so it was hard to choose! In the end, the lychee martini was my fave. Also tried the "goat cheese washed" cocktail which was insane because it was my first ever savory cocktail. I don't know if I could drink an entire serving so be warned! Love the service, moody ambiance and proximity that makes this the perfect lounge to start or end your night out. read more

Slim Charmer is one of St. Pete's most intimate hidden gems -- the kind of place you absolutely must have a reservation for because once you're inside, you instantly understand why everyone wants a seat. The space is small, moody, and atmospheric in the best way. It feels like slipping into a secret cocktail den where every detail is curated and the vibes are everything. The cocktails are truly on fire -- mostly gin- and vodka-forward, crafted with intention, and beautifully balanced. You can tell this bar takes its mixology seriously. The appetizers are outstanding, the type you try once and immediately wonder how soon you can come back for more. And don't skip dessert -- their decadent final course is a must and feels like the perfect finish to an already elevated experience. If you're looking for a thoughtfully designed, intimate night out with unforgettable drinks and standout bites, Slim Charmer is the place. Tiny, stylish, and absolutely worth snagging a reservation. read more

I definitely recommend the bacon wrapped dates but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

This is a bar that is right off the island in St. Pete. I believe this used to be an AC repair store when Munches was here. Was pretty busy but we got service right away. Tried a few cocktails. All solid. Good bartenders. We have already been back for a nightcap. Nice little bar close to home. read more

Oh yes, Slim Charmer, you are quite a gem in the St. Pete area. The staff was welcoming, the space was cozy and the food & drink were divine. What you should know is that Slim charmer is a cocktail bar first, with a small menu of Shara le dishes & bites. What we ordered; a dry, dirty, Freezer Door Gin Martini and two Duckworth's. The martini, you have the options of a twist, olives, blue cheese stuffed olives or a cocktail onion. Both cocktails were great, with good flavor. Between the two of us, we also ordered thee bites to eat, which turned out to be plenty of food for us. We decided on the Brown Butter Crab Toast, Steak Tartare and the Warm Autumn Squash Salad - I don't think you can go wrong with any of the dishes - all fantastic. It is wise to make a reservation as the space is small and when we arrived at opening (5pm), there was a line. Most of us had a reservation but I believe not all. Slim Charmer has been open for seven months and sits right beside Wild Child - they're the same owner. I'd absolutely recommend heading to Slim Charmer if you're looking for a well made cocktail and or a couple of bites - I really enjoyed this place. read more

Amazing Unique Cocktails, the waitress we had was very knowledgeable on the drinks and helped us decide what to get! The vibes are perfect for date night or girls night !! Loved the birds & the bees cocktail !! read more

Perfect spot for a romantic date night with the hubby. We saw all the great reviews and wanted to check it out for ourselves! The reviews weren't wrong it was spectacular. Slim Charmer is located on Central with on street parking available. The total vibe of the place is upscale, intimate, moody and romantic. It's the kind of place where you want to savor every minute. I started off with The Great Pumpkin Martini and it did not disappoint. Vodka, orange and pumpkin cordial, it was delicious. I was afraid it would be too sweet but it was perfectly balanced with flavors...making it my new favorite drink. The dates were almost too beautiful to eat (but I did) and they were again perfectly prepared with the crisp bacon and moth watering taste. The mushrooms toast was made with oyster mushroom cream sauce and had a delicious earthy and meaty taste. Hubby said the tartare was delicious and he knows his tartare. Definitely have a reservation as others have mentioned it is small inside which adds to the coo atmosphere. The service was impeccable and they took my shellfish allergy very seriously. Can't wait to go back! read more

Such a vibe. Dark, moody, and effortlessly cool, Slim Charmer is easily one of my new favorite spots in St Pete. We loved everything we tried and each order that came out blew away our expectations. There was not a single miss on the menu. Love me some olives, so I was super excited to see the muffuletta on the menu. It would be hard to say what my favorite dish was but this one was definitely up there; great bread and perfect proportions. We also especially enjoyed the Stracciatella + Caviar and the Warm Autumn Squash Salad. read more

This place is cutieeee and I can't wait to come back for another cocktail. I'm not a martini girl but the bartender was super knowledgeable and guided me well. I came for the Wednesday's 'adult happy meal' which is fries and a martini for $12 (it's only eligible the first 3 martinis on the menu!) and it made for a delish happy hour. we snagged a spot at the bar but definitely make reservations, and they only have a 90 min seat time (which stressed me out a little lol) so tell your friends to be on time!

Not surprised how good this place was knowing they are a sister spot of Wild Child. The team here have really created a nice and finely tuned menu for a nice cocktail and a small snack. I got the feels of a nice bar in New York upon stepping in. It's dark with great music and it's reservation only or if they have an open spot you can walk in. They don't do standing around spots so it never feels too crowded. Pickle martini was perfect! Had to get 2 lol. All of our food dishes were top tier and executed perfectly. The steak is definitely worth it especially if you split it between 2-4 people after getting some smaller dishes first. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

They had us at ADULT HAPPY MEAL- officially a new Wednesday stan for Slim Charmer! Two of my gals and I went in during their adult happy meal special, which ended at 7pm. We didn't make a reservation and luckily got in with 10 minutes to spare, so we sat at the bar and quickly ordered our martini and fries for $12. Honestly, it was everything we could've asked for in a meal and we had the best time! The bartenders were lovely as well. Very vibey and intimate inside. read more

Hard to get a res & service was a little rude when we were a few minutes late. Vibe inside was great, drinks (lychee martinis) were solid, food (bacon wrapped chorizo stuffed dates & steak tartare) was bomb. Would go back for a date night but would have to book far in advance. read more

We had a great time at Slim Charmer. We are long time customers of Wild Child as well. We made a reservation and we're seated promptly because the table is reserved for a specific amount of time per party. I was worried I wouldn't have much to eat at this restaurant because I have Celiac Disease and also the menu isn't really available fully online. To my surprise most of the menu is gluten-free and for the items containing toast they can substitute chips if you are gluten-free. I decided to try as much of the seafood as possible be cause I love seafood. My husband wanted to try the steak be cause to be quite honest it looks amazing on their Instagram page. The cocktails are reasonably priced which was shocking because where I am from the drinks cost a lot more. 13$ for a martini or craft cocktails is perfect and I found the drinks to be enjoyable; the lychee martini was my top pick. The seafood was great in my opinion. The oysters were 21$ market price for 6 which is high (over priced in my opinion), but they were good. They were light, refreshing, well shucked, the mineral finish and salinity was nice. I did not however like mignonette because it was overbearing. I do not know if it was too much onion or a lack of sweetness, but it was all acid and personally I love acidity, but this wasn't it. The horseradish and lemon worked well with it. The crudo was great as well. We got a good amount with one side tuna and one side salmon. It just had an overbearing amount of oil. I would still recommend it though. And lastly, the razor clams were fantastic. I think this was my first time having them and I found them to be refreshing. The razor clams were actually my favorite of all the seafood we had. The steak, which cost the most of everything on the menu (85$ I believe) was not what I would prefer in an 85$ steak. I am unsure of how it was cooked, but for me, it was tough and a bit overcooked on the outside. It was still medium rare on the inside, but about 2 inches of the outside were pretty well done beyond what I would like. So, I am unsure if they used a Sous Vide, but I honestly wouldn't order the steak again. The steak however, was beautifully plated and it came with a little salad and grilled garlic on the side. It's a lot of steak and it is worth the money; it's enough for 3 to 3 people. The restaurant is small so be prepared for that and street parking is pretty strained in this area now. Parking is free, but at 7pm we had to park about 5 or 6 blocks away and walk. We had a good time and I would recommend Slim Charmer for a date night or girls night. read more

This place is a VIBE!!! The service impeccable!! The food and drinks DELICIOUS!!! We got so many things to try but I unfortunately was so into my conversation I didn't document everything. But I will recount my best. My espresso martini was amazing!! Full bodied not too sweet. I got the crab toast and the caviar one and omg the flavors were bursting from all the components. My friends got the squash salad and omg the cheese with the tender squash perfection. Their steak was tender. Their menu does change which keeps things fresh and interesting. I can't wait to go back. read more

Excellent small plate tapas style restaurant. Great selection of drinks. I got the French 75 with raspberries. My friend got a clear daiquiri. Both were delicious and sweet. For food we shared 4 small plates and a dessert. Potatos pave - creamy sauce and potatoes were cooked perfectly. 8/10 Radishes with butter- lots of butter this was a unique dish. I would have loved it if it was served with bread or at least one other item to spread the butter on. 7/10 Mushrooms on sourdough- this was my favorite and a generous portion. Savory and loved the sauce is similar to hollandaise. 9/10 My second favorite was the beef tartare. The only thing that would have made it better would be to add an egg. 9/10 For dessert we shared the chocolate torte with caramel sauce and topped with fresh whipped cream. Chocolate lovers dream! 8/10 Excellent service asked for Sydney. read more

A group of 6 of us arrived to have dinner next door so before heading to our table we put our name on the "wait list" for Slim Charmer at 8:30pm. The hostess confirmed that This doesn't guarantee you will sit right at that time but that your group will be next. They take your # and text you when the table is ready so that was convenient. Our table was ready around 8:45pm. Because it was busy, the hostess advised that we had a 90 minute table time. This would typically be odd however there are only 26 seats in this establishment so makes sense. This is a martini bar that specializes in martinis. I'm not a martini gal, so following our waiters suggestions, i ordered the Apple martini. It tasted like apples had been freshly squeezed. Wow it was delicious. But the table favorite was the Silver Monk which happens to have tequila! We'd definitely be back. read more

We came here on it's first week of being open. Located right next to Wild Child in St Petersburg. It's a fantastic cocktail bar with upscale cocktails. It's a beautiful intimate space . They also have small plates available to purchase. We didn't eat anything as we had just gone to Wild child for dinner. I had the espresso martini which was delicious. My friend had the Kola martini with smoked Dr Pepper foam which complimented the flavor. The staff were wonderful. I will definitely be back, loved the feel of this place. read more

Had such a great time I forgot to take any photos for this review! My favorite type of night out is getting a classy little cocktail in a chill loungey spot with some snacks, so this is one of my new go-to spots as long as I can get a reservation (it is very tiny) Sat at the bar, bartenders were super friendly and helpful. got the lychee martini but definitely want to step out of my comfort zone next time as there were so many other creative martinis that sounded amazing. Their food menu was seasonal and pretty limited, but I appreciate when places just focus on a small lineup of solid options and rotate every few months to keep things fresh. The only way you wouldn't find something you like on the menu is if you have no taste. The girlies and I split the autumn squash salad that the staff was raving about and it was to die for. read more

I'm going to begin with.... You need a reservation. Non negotiable. But boy is it worth it. The martinis are out of this world - I have to give a special shout out to the Spicy Pickle.... You have to try it for the garnish alone! & their espresso martini is special. I believe their menu rotates seasonally, if not more often. I had the Snapper + Stone fruit Crudo....... Drooling even thinking back on it. The steak tartar was very good as well. This will become a staple in my routine! read more

Fantastic experience at Slim Charmer! Excellent food, drinks and vibe. I love the old school NY hip hop and the decor is very dark and sexy. My husband and I shared the bacon wrapped chorizo dates, foie gras toast and a seafood platter with oysters, tuna tartar, shrimp cocktail and smoked mussels which was probably the freshest seafood I've ever had! Outstanding Slim Charmer....we can't wait to come back! read more

Have given this place stellar reviews previously, but this time I left disappointed. 2 things: 1) there was an extremely loud group seated at a table and they were carrying on with the bar staff, celebrating and all having shots...it was ear piercing, impossible to carry on a conversation with someone 3 inches away. Considering the bar staff knew these other people well (it seemed like perhaps they also worked in the service industry), I would have thought they would recognize what a disruption this was causing to all of the other patrons who were turning around looking at them. 2) I wish they wouldn't have such a limited Summer menu. Their regular menu is excellent, and since it's still difficult to get a reservation with wait lists practically every night -- unlike other places that might experience a Summer slowdown so could more justifiably need to trim down menus -- I don't understand why they would choose to go in this direction. read more
