Emerald Bar

The Emerald Bar in downtown St. Pete seems like an establishment where a wrinkled patron down on his luck could walk in and say, “Scotch. Straight up. Leave the bottle.” Oh, but it’s so much more. Local art decorates the walls and local bands liven up the place on the weekends. The drinks may be cheap, but the individuals with colorful personalities that frequent the Emerald are a testament to the atmosphere and vibe.
