Bar Mezzo is a concept from the owners of intermezzo. At some point intermezzo got so popular,…read morethere just wasn't enough space for everyone, specifically at night. The concepts are similar, but not quite the same. Bar Mezzo is more cocktail forward, although it houses some of the same cocktails featured at intermezzo, including espresso based cocktails. It has one of the few espresso martinis in town that feature fresh brewed espresso. One of the best things about this bar is that it focuses on the art of cocktail making and features the bartenders as artisans. Every employee is the epitome of top of the line hospitality. Each cocktail on the menu is unique and you won't find it replicated locally. The menu is seasonal, so you can always try something new. It's the kind of place where you can say to the bartender "I'm feeling something gin based, maybe something blackberry flavored" and they will make you a unique cocktail based on what you're feeling, even if you don't know exactly what you want. During the month of December, they hold "miracle at mezzo"- a Christmas themed pop-up that was previously hosted at intermezzo. During the cooler months, weekends and during the Christmas popup, it's gets extremely crowded, sometimes forming a line out the door. Depending on the weather, they will open up the front garage style door for more standing space. You should expect a 30-37$ tab for two cocktails, or maybe 15-18$ if you catch a happy hour special.

The Veranda at the Vinoy is moi fave place on the planet OuiOui…read more The Veranda here, a front row seat to the sea, so spectacular, it defines "la vie en rose" moi center of the Universe, fave place on the planet to have meetings, do quiet work, while having the most exquisitely crafted refreshments. The service is also impeccable. "The Veranda bar" doesn't open till around noonish however, the coffee shop/French Cafe inside opens at 6:00 am, so you can still sit out front on the Veranda, but the bar & lite menu is just not open/available till after noon. The Open air Veranda menu is lite bites. Moi fave lite dish here is the "Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna Tataki" with Jalapeño, Orange, Pickled Red Onion, with White Soy Ponzu. Fabulous. The sweet spicy combo of the jalapeño-orange makes it. A must order. The Truffle french fries with garlic aioli is also spectacular OuiOui. Goes great with their champagne by the glass. I also enjoy a unsweet iced tea with lemon when it's the hottest part of the day or a white wine spritzer. They also make fabulous cocktails, mocktails & have a lovely wine/champagne list. Something for everyone. Always "la vie en rose" on The Veranda. Added to moi list of fave places in St. Petersburg. Highest Reccomendations.

Great vibes and wonderful cocktails! I recommend the truffle fries and charcuterie for any food!read more

It is a good thing we did. A few of us started with a glass of wine. And a few decided it was beer to have. The selection of wines and beers was perfect. It was new and different and nothing aged with time. The wines included white or read. We all had a selection we picked. And this was a good way to go. We received our glasses and tasted what we all had. This was perfect. A simple snack to start was something to go with. Of course, once we completed that first glass we decided to go with a bottle. We looked through the menu and decided to go with a good red. It is the ideal wine to have if you want something to eat. Naturally, you have to be different, and what is better with a glass of red wine than a hot dog. Yes, it could be a typical hot dog. But here they re-think it and make it taste proper with the wine, or the beer that some still wanted to have. The hot dog was fine. But some of us did try for the Mini-Cheesesteak sandwich. That taste was ideal with the red. The beers stuck with the hot dog. Overall, Delicious was a good place to be. It is a hidden gem right now. The staff is ideal. The wine is a good selection. As for the price, this is the best. Fresh and new and a good taste to go with anything...even if it is a hot dog! I will be back to try something new by the glass.

Six of us came to this speakeasy on a Saturday at 11:24p when Bodega was closing. No password…read moreneeded, you just wander right in behind a sliding large door (see pic). Once inside you see how little this place is, which is one of the reasons for 3 stars. Other downfalls was service being slow, so much that we left without getting any drinks after standing by the bar for about ten minutes without much moving. The place was crowded, probably because earlier today was the pride parade. Another reason for the lower score is only one bathroom stall from what we could tell. And not enough tables because of how small the venue is. There were a couple small tables with drinks on them but no one busing the floor. Liked the decorations in the corner with old record albums... Kiss, Robert Palmer, Chuck Magione, Ricki Lee Jones, Adam Ant. The music playing was good. After Bodega closes the only entrance/exit is a door that dumps to the side alley. It isn't hidden so found it pretty easily. A loose entrepretation of a speakeasy. Might try this again on a less busy night where the bar service can keep up with the patrons. Recommend this place to smaller numbers of 2-4 people. Anything larger and they just can't accommodate properly. In my picture you can see how small all the tables are... Bodega closes several hours before Bar Chica, so if the Central Avenue door is locked then entrance is down the alley to the right. They close at 1a on Saturdays...

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!
