Perry’s Porch 600 2nd Ave. NE, St. Petersburg The folks behind some of St. Pete’s best bars are opening a new concept that will surely boast one of the most scenic waterfront views in all of The Burg.’ Perry’s Porch is a new restaurant that will open adjacent to the St. Pete Pier and the St. Petersburg Museum of History — a space that was most recently occupied by craft beer spot Hops and Props. This upcoming concept will be a combination of open-air and indoor seating, since its name is a homage to the 20th century developer Perry Snell, who’s known for revitalizing several St. Pete neighborhoods with his unique approach to architecture, nature, and walkability.
