Cane & Barrel
110 2nd St. N., St. Petersburg
The newest rooftop destination located in the heart of downtown St. Pete—Cane & Barrel, a Cuban-inspired rooftop bar and cocktail lounge—is expected to open in February. Set for the 8th floor of the 36-story hotel and apartment tower Ascent St. Pete, the new location will feature two separate bars. The spot has plans to offer signature cocktails to match the decor and ambiance. The star of the new rooftop bar’s menu will be rum, as the name itself is a homage to the spirit's voyage from "cane" to "barrel."
