Our expert mixologists are always happy to pour your favorite craft cocktail, vintage wine, or ice-cold beer. Plus, thanks to games, live entertainment and more, and there’s a good time around every corner. Check out this guests’ guide to our favorite on-site kick-back spots, and start planning your escape!

Salty’s Tiki Bar and Beach Lounge

There’s just no better place for breezy beverages on the beach than a classic tiki bar! At Island Grand’s Salty’s, you can grab a Daiquiri, Margarita, Mai Tai, Piña Colada or whatever you’re craving, and then head out to our comfy beach furniture on the shore. So, go ahead — relax. Enjoy the sunset while you feel your stress ebb out with the tide. It’s the “drink in your hand and toes in the sand” escape you’ve been dreaming of.

RumFish Grill Bar, Outdoor Bar and Patio

You’ll discover what’s undeniably one of the greatest beach bars in the world at RumFish Beach Resort. Here, the big-screen TVs always have the latest sports. The beer is cold. The food is delicious. Your bartender can curate you flights of signature rum. Live entertainment can be enjoyed indoors and out. And the massive aquarium behind the bar is so impressive, it was featured on an episode of Discovery Channel’s “Tanked”

Flying Bridge

Built in the style of the classic “cracker cottage” Florida beach home, Island Grand’s Flying Bridge bar and eatery is the place to stop for delicious food and drinks overlooking the water. The all-day menu features many classic favorites, and the drinks menu is packed with satisfying selections perfect for accompanying a meal, or just unwinding while you watch the waves lap the shore. Enjoy spectacular gulf breezes while you check out the sun dipping below the horizon.   

Awakenings Lobby Bar

Awakenings is conveniently located in the atrium of the Grand Palm Colonnade at Island Grand. It’s the place to stop for your favorite Starbucks® coffee, blended drinks, and hot and cold teas. You’ll also be able to enjoy some fantastic select wines, local craft beers (drafts, bottles and cans), aged whiskies, and even tapas if you’re feeling like a light bite.

The SandBar 

There’s no better chill-out spot in St. Pete Beach than the SandBar at RumFish! VIP poolside cabanas offer a cool, shady place to take it easy during the day. And when the sun goes down, our plush beach lounges are an unbeatable way to take in the evening vibes. Grab a fire table, make some S’mores, and thank your lucky stars that you’re ending your day in paradise!

The Cabana Bar

Cocktails. Sunsets. Music. And nothing but good vibes from the moment you walk in. The Cabana Bar is TradeWinds’ classically casual, beautifully beachfront bar where the newly renovated space is as breezy as it gets. Sip your favorite beverage and enjoy the nightly celestial fireworks display as the sun sets over the beach. And you never know — with a little encouragement, you might even be able to convince Danny behind the bar to grab his guitar and play a few tunes for you. There’s just no better way to unwind than this.

Explore the Local Brewery Scene

If you’re looking to venture out and explore the surrounding area in search of libations, you’ve got some fantastic options! St. Pete is one of the region’s best hubs for craft breweries, and many offer tours and tastings for travelers. We recommend starting at Mastry’s Brewing Co., which uses local ingredients to create full-flavored beers. Sea Dog Brewery’s outpost in nearby Treasure Island is always ready with a pint for the parched. And local legends Green Bench make exceptional sours and IPAs you’ll want to try.
