Oyster Bar Moving From Downtown St. Pete Location

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — After nearly 25 years on Central Avenue’s popular 200 block, the Oyster Bar will be moving out of downtown St. Petersburg.

It’s last day in operation at 249 Central Ave. will be Aug. 20, according to a Facebook post from the seafood restaurant.

The Oyster Bar didn’t share where its new location will be. Patch has reached out to the restaurant for more information.

A “pop-up bar” from the Crafty Hospitality Group will open in the Central Avenue space starting Sept. 1, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

It will feature an end-of-summer theme to “remind guests of a northern U.S. fall with the leaves changing and cool air settling in,” Frank Clemente, the creative marketing director of FrankLynn Visual Marketing in a statement, who will help design the space, said.

There will be four, seasonal pop-up concepts moving into the space throughout the year, the Times said. When one ends, the space will close for 48 hours to build the new bar.
