Stillwaters Tavern is an American scratch kitchen and bar on Beach Drive in downtown St. Petersburg, where the food is made from scratch, the taps run cold, and the waterfront views come standard.
The menu draws from land and sea, built around seasonal ingredients, local farmers, and in-house technique. Twenty beers (many regional), wines, and cocktails on tap, plus a full bar list that earns its keep.
Steps from the St. Pete Pier, the Dali Museum, and some of the best waterfront people-watching in Florida, Stillwaters has been part of Beach Drive since 2014. A second location is now open in Land O' Lakes/Bexley. Indoor and outdoor seating, lunch through dinner, happy hour every day.
