While my 1st night grabbing drinks here made me want to give this two stars based on the evening bartenders, a second late afternoon stop changed my opinion. The 2 male bartenders were attentive, friendly, & knowledgeable. The bar attracts a lively & fun crowd that makes you feel welcome. Live music in the evening also set this bar higher than other bars.

When I moved to Florida, I stumbled upon thirsty first while walking downtown and decided to walk in on a whim. 8 years later, it’s still my favorite spot in Saint Pete. Good food, great atmosphere, amazing staff, and easily my favorite spot for football/hockey season. Just to prove i’m not biased, if I had to say 1 bad thing, it’s they took my favorite sandwich off the menu and I’m still upset about it. BRING BACK THE HEN!

This is one of my friend groups regular hangs. Football Sundays, Love Island Watch parties, holiday bar crawls, we’ve loved Thirsty since the original location. Can’t beat the wings, the drinks or the awesome bartenders. If you’re looking for a good time you have to check it out!!
