EMERALD BAR (St. Petersburg)

[Admin]

Full of surprises and overflowing with cheap liquor, the Emerald does right by locals -- vets, drunks, businessmen, musicians and artists alike. St. Pete bands call the Emerald home, but national headliners and Tampa bands play there, too. It's where you're most likely to catch Burg rockers the Semis, Weapons of Ass Destruction and Nessie. Warning to the squeamish: Very loud and raucous performances book the Emerald, so bring earplugs, and if you don't like secondhand smoke, wear a face-mask. Oh, and a few occasions of public nudity have happened too, one incident from Jacksonville's Black Lips. Seating is plentiful for a small place, but crowded nights require some standing around.
550 Central Avenue N, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.
