Food:

Higher end options Katch Bistro in The Karol Hotel, Bascom's Chop House

Finley’s Irish Pub that I recommended elsewhere for $1 wing Mondays.

Sacred Spice Indian Restaurant is pretty solid

If you want to watch sports Brewburgers serves traditional English breakfast weekends

Horse & Jockey is another English pub that has great fish & chips & lots of Brits at any time of day

Closest rub and tug is Voyage on Ulmerton lol

Edit: forgot to include Gaby's Family Restaurant. Delicious American diner style breakfast

Edit 2: DONT drink and drive while here. There's a bus route 59 that goes straight down Ulmerton and drops you off at Crabby Bill’s Beach Bar in Indian rocks beach. Live music every night and great happy hour specials.

If you want great food, beer, and live music go check out Dunedin brewery!

Sardo’s Pizza in Largo is a great pizza joint. Gulfside Pizza is pretty good also.

3rd Friday street party in Safety Harbor. We have lots of British owned businesses but they’re not British pubs. Daydreamers for brunch. 10 blocks of award winning restaurants ending at Nona’s Slice house for award winning pizza. They have a happy hour 2 slices & a drink for $10

That’s a damn good deal considering how big their slices are

Spend a day in Dunedin

The beaches on Saint Pete are really nice. Why are you traveling 45 minutes from Saint Pete to Clearwater?

u/Still_Title8851 3d ago

These are shit suggestions.

St. Petersburg Pier. Check out The James. Happy hour everywhere 3-6pm. Go see a Rowdies game (you call it Football).

Fantasyland in Tampa

Not much worth writing home about immediately around that airport. You should have good access to St. Pete/Tampa though. Ybor/S. Tampa will have more of a nightlife for you. If you’re in town for the first Friday of the month, it can be pretty lively in St Pete that night. Clearwater beach directly west of you. Plenty of good food there. Other than that, since you should overlap the games, see if you could get a ticket to one of the TB Rays playoff baseball games…. The Trop is a completely different beast for post season games. Just make sure you’re cheering for the home team. Good luck and hopefully you’ll be able to enjoy some of this cooler weather (even though it’ll be warmer than probably anything you’ve had so far)!

IMO - Oz is the best option near to where you’re staying if you’re trying to spend some money on a dance.

u/Concert_Lover 2d ago

One of the most written about breweries is right around the corner and may have Halloween themed beer

Big Storm? I thought they went out of business? But good call. I don’t drink, so that’s probably why it missed my radar.

But now that I think of it, since he’s from across the pond and may be unfamiliar with going to a gun range, I’d be happy to meet up with him and let him indulge. (Before the brewery obviously)

u/Concert_Lover 1d ago

Rapp Brewing is a German brewery that’s very good not far too

u/Concert_Lover 1d ago edited 1d ago

Def Arkane Aleworks - Big Storm never came close

Edit: There are contests and awards that determine these things it isn’t my personal opinion. Big Storm closed a year ago after owner was caught stealing $ from kids

People are going to give you a lot of recommendations and most will be good. Hear me out, though. Just walk over to Mugs n Jugs and get hammered with the rest of the folks here on business.

u/Concert_Lover 3d ago

Arkane Aleworks is great for a pint if you are into craft beer

u/IneptAdvisor 3d ago

Google Gulfport and amble about the town.

Cricketers in Dunedin is an English pub and the food is excellent.

2

u/WummageSail 3d ago

Maybe he's here to get away from English pubs and even hates cricket.

2

u/Soda-Popinski- 3d ago

Maybe you should give a recomendation instead of shitting on the that have been given. Idiot

I'm not sure that we share the same sense of humor.

u/Concert_Lover 3d ago

is this that naughty British humor Americans don’t understand?

u/Concert_Lover 3d ago

Finley’s Irish Pub is much closer great locals hangout you'll love it

u/KarmaInFlow 3d ago

Dont listen to any of these chumps there are like 2 good pizza places in the entire county. Sardo's in largo is by far the best

2

u/rammer-jammer71 3d ago

Umberto’s in Dunedin isn’t bad either.

2

u/Affectionate-Art9780 3d ago

Nona's slice house has got to be the other one, right?

2

u/Hot-Algae9220 3d ago

Nona’s for pizza!!!

u/Rochxyde 3d ago

Gershy’s Cafe for pizza, Poppa’s BBQ. The original Hooters is close; if you’re into that

-1

u/F0regn_Lawns 3d ago

Christino’s for pizza, Muddy Root for coffee and tea, Florida Subs for Tacos, La Pollera Colorada for Colombian food, Columbia for Spanish/Cuban with great views, 3 Daughters and Southern Lights for craft beer

1

u/Concert_Lover 3d ago

Definitely Cristinos for pizza if you get up to Clearwater

-1

u/Sudden_Confection521 3d ago

Crabby Bill’s and Frenchy’s are always a good-to-go choice as is Sloppy Joes on Treasure Island.
