Whether a romantic date destination, a hangout spot for college students, or a place to have Sunday dinner with family, the employees ensure that the atmosphere is enjoyable for everyone.
The outdoor seating overlooks the busy, and always interesting, street of Central Avenue. The staff is welcoming and music is always playing. There are two bars operated (one of them is only opened on the weekends) by friendly bartenders and indoor seating is available for small, medium or large parties.
The Wii room can hold up to 25 people, and customers can use the game console while they dine. There is also a pool room for any parties interested in a round or two of billiards.
They also have a modern-day jukebox in which customers can pay for any song to be heard throughout the restaurant at any given time.
Every room at the Central Avenue Sports Bar is designed to support the local sports teams. With so much Tampa Bay pride, the restaurant packs extra excitement on game days.
There is live entertainment Thursday through Sunday evenings, and on Saturdays the restaurant hosts a jam-packed karaoke night. For First Fridays, they open a third outdoor bar to accommodate the high volume of customers.
And for the food? The most popular items are the wings and the jenga fries. These fries weigh an entire pound and are cooked into the shape of the actual Jenga game. They are drenched in two different types of rich cheeses and a chili sauce loaded with bacon bits, topped with a scoop of sour cream, and sprinkled with chives.
There are also options for vegetarians and vegans.
Customers have the option to do take out or even get the food delivered to their doorstep through one of St. Petersburg’s delivery services.
The Central Avenue Sports Bar gives its customers the benefit of quality dining, without paying an arm and a leg. The prices are beyond reasonable # a person can purchase an appetizer, beverage, meal, and dessert for less than $25.
