We're raising the bar - literally......The essence of the terrace bar at St. Petersburg’s AC Hotel is derived from the flora and fauna of Florida, infused with the lushness of a Caribbean courtyard, and inspired by Cuban heritage. The signature spirit, rum, is the key narrative – exploring its journey from the cane to the barrel. The interiors reflect the vibrant culture of Havana nights with an old world charm.

Very good birthday dinner! Cauliflower app delicious! Beet salad top notch and the scallop dinner was to die for!! Went there on a Wednesday and a lot of the wines are half-price on that day, so that was a plus! Would definitely go back, our server Lenny was very personable!
