Jimmy B's Beach Bar

This is the platonic St. Pete Beach bar: a wooden deck that spills straight onto the white sand, a rum drink sweating in your hand, and a band playing while the sun drops into the Gulf. It's not a scene-y club and it isn't trying to be one, it's an all-ages, all-day hang attached to the Beachcomber hotel that leans on view and live music rather than bottle service. Go if you want easygoing beachfront drinking with a soundtrack, and know it's touristy and gets packed, but it earns the crowd honestly. Skip it if you're after a dark, quiet cocktail den.

Show up 90 minutes before sunset any evening for the open-air stage, or aim for the last Sunday of the month around 4:30 p.m. for the free Local Legends music series.

Come by the wooden deck for sunset and the outdoor Gulf stage, then move to the indoor stage when the late-night set kicks in; if you catch the Local Legends shows, grab a passport and collect stamps for free drinks and merch.
