More Than Just A
SPORTS BAR
Owner Greg Mikurak spent a year and a half transforming Thirsty First into St. Pete’s premier entertainment destination. The result? A completely revamped 1,400-square-foot kitchen, 69 TVs throughout the space, and an upstairs VIP lounge with couches and a 40-inch mini “Jumbotron.”
“We took our entire vibe and dynamic that made us busy and came up with the times,” says Mikurak, a St. Pete native who’s passionate about creating a space that truly serves his community.
Whether you’re here to catch UFC fights, groove to live DJs, enjoy rotating live music, or relax in our VIP lounge, we’ve designed every corner with you in mind. Our updated menu features 30% more options, from health-conscious Power Bowls with coconut rice and Hawaiian poke to classic favorites like our NY Strip and the iconic Prohibition Tots.
We’ve also expanded our beverage program with THC cocktails, mocktail specials with mood enhancers, and signature drinks like our famous “Bridge Runner” cocktail—a rum runner made with five secret in-house infusions.

ART, ATMOSPHERE
& Hidden Surprises
Local spray paint legends the Vitale Bros. have created stunning murals throughout our space, including playful designs in unexpected places. Our striking front doors showcase two presidents cheersing each other in a graffiti pop art style, designed by Media Shark with numerous hidden Easter eggs and historical nods for curious guests to discover and solve for rewards.
With over 69 TVs strategically placed across two levels, you’ll never miss a moment of the action. Our main level buzzes with energy and bar atmosphere, while our upstairs VIP lounge offers a more relaxed setting with couches and premium viewing experience.

“I don’t feel like there’s anything missing here. There’s nothing I can see that I don’t love. So I’m planting a flag here,” Mikurak reflects. “We built this to be a staple in St. Pete.”
Come discover why Thirsty First is quickly becoming St. Pete’s new go-to destination for food, drinks, entertainment, and community.
