Cassis makes a great stop for drinks and a gorgeous view. Denoted by the landmark spiral glass sculpture, Cassis resides in the thriving heart of Beach Drive.

Ceviche
With beautiful indoor and outdoor seating along Beach Drive and a phenomenal menu of tapas, Ceviche is a can’t-miss spot for date night in Downtown St. Pete. Pair shared small plates like the Branzino (sautéed Branzino, arugula, pickled red onion, olives, capers, feta, lemon, evoo) or the Banderillas (filet mignon, mushrooms, onions, saffron rice, sofrito) with the restaurant’s famous sangria or specialty cocktails. And if dinner isn’t quite enough, head downstairs to the Che Lounge for dancing, drinks, and tons of fun.
