Mutts & Martinis
An upscale, 21+ sports bar on Central Ave with something none of the other dog bars in town have: an actual dog waterpark.
🕰️ History & background
Mutts & Martinis is one of the newer entries in St. Petersburg's dog-bar scene, part of the wave of concepts that followed once The Dog Bar proved the format could work in Tampa Bay. Its dog waterpark sets it apart from the turf-only setups elsewhere in the city, and its 21+ focus gives it a more upscale, date-night feel than most.
🐕 What's there now
A chilled dog pool plus four off-leash play zones. No membership needed, humans never pay a cover, and dogs get day passes for a small fee — a genuine standout for water-loving dogs on a hot Florida afternoon.
