Best Wine Bars in St. Pete
1. Lolita’s Wine Market
Lolita’s Wine Market is one of the most colorful and vibrant wine bars in St. Pete! It’s known for its eclectic vibe and expertly curated wine list.
When I shared that my go-to wine is Pinot Grigio, they surprised me with a dry Riesling that completely blew me away—it’s now one of my favorite wines. Pair it with one of their charcuterie boards and you’re set.
Whether you’re enjoying the Florida sunshine on their outdoor patio or brunching inside, Lolita’s is a spot you don’t want to miss.
2. Dracula’s Legacy Wine Bar & Bistro
Dracula’s Legacy feels like spooky season all year long! This Romanian-European wine bar is tucked away near the Sundial in downtown St. Pete, offering over 100 wines and a hauntingly good vibe.
Try a wine flight for a little tasting adventure or go for their $5 house wines (yes, $5!). Pair your drinks with their to-die-for charcuterie or tasty flatbreads, and keep an ear out for live music in the courtyard—it’s the perfect hidden gem for wine lovers.
3. Book + Bottle
Whoever dreamed up pairing books and wine deserves an award! Book + Bottle combines two of my great loves into one adorable space. Sip on a thoughtfully chosen wine (or grab a bottle to take home) while flipping through their curated selection of books.
They also serve coffee, so it’s no wonder this spot made my list of the best coffee shops in St. Pete, too. Be sure to check their events calendar—there’s always something fun happening. It’s the perfect place to unwind with a good read and an even better pour.

Step into a little slice of Tuscany right here in St. Pete! Tucked away in a hidden alley on Central Avenue, the Wine Window at Crislip Cafe is a charming nod to the streets of Italy. Simply knock on the window, place your order, and moments later, you’ll be sipping on a glass of red, white, or bubbly.
They offer a rotating selection weekly, so there’s always something fresh to try. It also shares its space with one of my favorite coffee shops, Crislip Cafe, making it a double win! Limited hours mean you’ll want to time your visit right, but rumor has it they may extend them soon!

Pistil House is where cozy vibes meet floral charm—and they’ve nailed it. This adorable coffee shop-turned-wine bar features a curated selection of Pacific Northwest wines, craft beers, and even non-alcoholic drinks, making it perfect for everyone!
We loved sharing a few bottles of rose for our Galentines event! Plus, they offer a build-your-own charcuterie board for the ultimate snack pairing. With its warm, welcoming vibe and fresh flowers scattered throughout, Pistil House feels like stepping into a chic, bohemian living room!
7. Bar Chinchilla
This cozy downtown gem has quickly become one of my go-to wine bars in St. Pete! Bar Chinchilla has over 50 fine wines from around the globe and rotating craft beer taps for when you’re in the mood for hops instead of grapes.
Happy hour runs every day from 4–7 PM, with half-off select wines and $1 off drafts. Plus, their wine club is next-level—think hand-picked bottles delivered straight to you, based on your preferences, with extra perks to sweeten the deal.
I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried their San Felo Toscana Sangiovese. Let’s just say I’m now a proud member of the red wine club!
