Your corner of Central Avenue

Steve’s is the kind of corner bar that locals keep as their own. The bartenders know the regulars, the pool table stays busy, and there is no rush to be anywhere else. Pull up a stool, order a cold one, and stay a while.

  • Every game on

    Screens around the room so you never miss the game.

  • Great old school bar for socializing and drinking. Awesome bartenders.

  • This bar is a community staple which has been around before the urbanization of downtown St. Pete. Play some billiards, tip your bartender and make good friends.
