GLBT Nightlife

When the sun goes down on Florida's Beach, the night lights up with entertainment, bars and venues where you can kick back and relax or dance the night away.

The Pier

The landmark Pier in the heart of St. Petersburg is a unique piece of Florida architecture that offers visitors a chance to experience the waterfront along Tampa Bay. Located at the end of a 1/4 mile-long approach, this five-story inverted pyramid features shops, restaurants, its own aquarium, live music and even boat docks. The top floor of The Pier combines both the tropical dining of Cha Cha Coconuts with a huge observation deck, giving the visitor a truly unique observation point on Tampa Bay. The Pier features plenty of parking, complete with trolley service linking The Pier to the rest of downtown.
