Oak & Stone Brings Craft Beers, Gourmet Pizza To St. Pete

ST. PETERSBURG, FL –The popular Sarasota restaurant, Oak & Stone, is bringing its craft beer and artisanal pizzas to St. Petersburg.

The newest Oak & Stone will open early this year at 199 Central Avenue, next to the newly constructed Hyatt Place on 22nd Street North in downtown St. Pete.

“We’re excited about every facet of development in St. Pete,” Oak & Stone partner Joe Seidensticker said. “We think the market is right, the opportunity is right, and the city will embrace what we have to offer.”

Building on the success of the original Oak & Stone, the new St. Pete location will feature a 6,000-square-foot restaurant and a 3,000-square-foot outdoor deck with tables, couches and fire pits for casual dining. In addition to its handcrafted wood-fired pizzas, the newly created menu offers house-made burgers, sandwiches, soups, entrees and salads. Large-screen televisions throughout the space will entertain diners.

The number of craft beers available will be increased to more than 60, making Oak & Stone’s self-serve beer wall one of the largest in the region. The hand-selected craft beer options will continue to be dispensed using the RFID-enabled wristbands and will include both local and regional breweries, such as 3 Daughters, Cycle and Green Bench. An extensive list of wines and spirits will also be available via the “Liquid Library” including a bourbon- and whiskey-tasting flight at the full bar.

Oak & Stone’s flagship location opened in Sarasota in 2016 and has become a favorite for gourmets and beer-lovers alike. Guests aged 21 and over can use RFID wristbands to try 56 beers. Technology in the wristband tracks tap usage for billing and serving size.

“Joe and I wanted to create a space where people can have fun with their family and friends,” said partner Brett Decklever. “It’s a great environment for people of all ages.”
