Downtown Developments By Brian Zucker, Owner of St. Pete Rising It seems like each time we take a stroll through downtown there are new restaurants and galleries opening and more apartment complexes and condo towers being built. We realize it’s difficult to keep track of everything. Luckily, we’ve done the research, so you don’t have to. Each month we will feature a few of the most exciting new downtown developments that are on the horizon for the Sunshine City.
Ceviche Tapas Bar and Restaurant has moved out of their old building at 10 Beach Drive in preparation to reopen at 332 Beach Drive (formerly The Moon Under Water, who will be relocating). Expected to reopen in March 2021, the new Ceviche will debut an entirely remodeled interior and exterior design. The patio will take advantage of the wonderful location with beautiful views of Straub Park and the Bay. Additionally, the new location will feature an extensive international and domestic wine list with a focus on Spanish wines, a newly designed wine room and a refreshed menu. Social Roost, a full-service restaurant and bar, is now open at 150 1st Ave North on the ground floor of ONE St. Petersburg. Their poultrycentric dishes are the creation of Executive Chef Susan Burdian, who previously helmed the kitchen at The Flatiron Room in New York City before moving to St. Petersburg. The intimate and beautifully curated contemporary deco bar and dining space was designed by co-owner and interior designer, Rob Bowen. Stop by for Sunday brunch, lunch, or dinner!

Ascent St. Petersburg, a 36-story mixed-use building, has broken ground at the northwest corner of 2nd Street and 1st Avenue North in downtown St. Pete. Once complete, the development will feature 354 apartments and a 172-room AC Hotel by Marriott. Just over 8,200 square feet of ground-floor retail space will be incorporated along 1st Avenue North and on the corner of 2nd Street and Sunshine Lane. One of St. Pete’s most popular food trucks is moving into their first brick-and-mortar restaurant! The Twisted Indian, a Saturday Morning Market staple, is coming soon to 2639 Central Avenue in the Grand Central District. Not only will all the food truck favorites be available, such as the Bollywood Bowl (white basmati rice, fresh spinach, tangy slaw, yogurt rita sauce, curried chickpeas, and cilantro), but all new items such as mini samosas and Indian Lemonade will be on the menu too. An expected grand opening is slated for April. What better way to celebrate a milestone or blow off some steam than throwing axes? Hatchet Hangout, an ax-throwing venue and lounge, is now open at 2360 Central Avenue in the Grand Central
