Things to do in St. Pete Beach, Florida (FL): The Best Nightlife
Sugary-white sand, dolphins frolicking just off shore and eight major barrier islands make St. Pete Beach a postcard-perfect seaside destination. Situated on a peninsula off Florida's west coast, it balances its oceanfront charms with top-notch art museums, including the largest collection of Salvador Dali paintings outside of Spain. Kayak through the calm waters, take a ferry to nearby Caladesi Island State Park to experience the state's wild beauty or stroll the rapidly gentrifying downtown for one-of-a-kind cafes.

Simply the best bartending duo in the Great State of Florida, said this local, over riding his reticence in disclosing this St.Pete secret. In so doing, I risk losing my place in line at the Alden's Cabana beach bar I've enjoyed visiting for the last 6 years. But I'm willing, because Chris and Dave deserve Super Star recognition to match their Super Starred-ness. Together, they transcend beach bartending, bringing the art to an art, and to a new level. When you arrive, be patient. Part of the charm is the time Chris and Dave spend with each guest, especially those returning. No worries, let the West Side view of the Gulf keep you content, and the sound of each slow moving wave wash over yesterday's worry. When it's your turn, be quick to order the "Top Shelf Margarita" and let the elixir transport you to the place you deserve to be. Hear a story, tell a story, enjoy the vibe, and above all, be generous before leaving the best beach bar on the beach. Know where you've been and appreciate where you are. People make all the difference. Chris and Dave are real people doing really good things on the shores of St. Pete Beach. Don't miss it, nestled between the Sirata and the Rum Fish Beach resort.

The Big Dipper (French Dip sandwich) and the fish and chips were delicious. Jai Alai IPA washed it all down. Bryan's service was perfect. We will be back.

We hit up the drunken clam a few times during our week stay. My husband was a huge fan of the atmosphere. Cajun shrimp was amazing; Sriracha shrimp was HOT!
