Tryst Gastro Lounge - Lounge in St. Petersburg - 240 Beach Dr NE, USA

Brought a friend here for food and everything was amazing. From the food, service, friendly staff, and atmosphere. Great spot for a date or to hangout. Also close to the pier. Have to give a shoutout to Jessica the bar manager incredible. She was very friendly, polite, attentive, and all around amazing person.

Our waitress rocks Kayla tip her well..drinks atmosphere and music are great. Dirty Martini amazing! Food looks delish however we were here to drink.

Decided to get a quick bite to eat in St Pete and stopped here. I’m a bourbon person and they had a nice selection. Bartenders were friendly and served us quickly. Then we sat down at a table and ordered some food. Food came out fast and Hot. Chicken wings were awesome and my friend had the tuna wonton tacos and he couldn’t stop raving about them. Nice vibes in there. Check them out

Our server Sierra was awesome, and the blonde bartender made my wife an excellent white sangria. The regular salad is a nice mix of lettuce, croutons and veg with a very tangy vinaigrette. We also ordered an a la carte portion of the mahi-mahi, and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It tasted like wild caught quality 🤷‍♀️ nice large firm flakes and mild flavor. The table next to us had tuna tacos that were served on fried wontons and looked absolutely fabulous. Cute interior and of course lots of great sidewalk seating for people watching. although the midafternoon people watching inside was pretty good too.

This was one of the first bars I came to when I moved to St Pete and I thought it was great. Now they are losing their staff and have a high turnover. I know someone that worked there and management won’t pay the wages they owe them for when they worked. Me and my friends will never go back and recommend anyone that believes in treating employees with respect and fulfilling their pay not go here. Plenty of good bars that take care of their people.

We live downtown and have been very satisfied with the food, service, and atmosphere. Lexi was our server , friendly and efficient. Comfortable sitting outside with music most nights. We had them cater an event in our building and got lots of positive reviews. Prices are reasonable and good-size portions. Best of all, food is consistently good.

Unacceptable this bar is empty, we (2 couples) ordered a drink but when we were going to order the 2nd round they said we can’t bc the bar is too busy. Literally they said you can’t order we are busy … I am attaching picture as a probe “how busy the bar is” dec 31, 2023 4:10pm

Stopped by here after a concert at the Birchwood and needed some food. The staff was friendly and attentive, there was live music outside which you could still hear if seated inside, the food was amazing! I recommend trying the tempura 🍤 or the BBQ wings they were both great! Drinks were good and strong too! I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in St. Pete!
