Word first started going around last year about the changes happening with the Historic Manhattan Casino, and now the public doesn’t have to wait any longer as the building is set to reopen this month with a few new food options

St. Pete Rising says one of those options is 22 South Food Hall. The hall will consist of six concepts serving sushi, Cajun, Jamaican, American, and barbecue. Chef Melly from popular food truck Three Generations Food Truck is confirmed as a vendor. Space for private dining, an extensive wine list with wines from around the world, and a sangria bar will also be inside. 

22 South Food Hall will be full-service, allowing guests to order from six menus at once. The only other eatery that used a full-service menu in a food hall setting was The Hall on Franklin, which was located beneath Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s Tampa Heights office until it closed late last year.

Although an exact opening date on 22 South is TBA, the Historic Manhattan Casino is scheduled to open mid-March in St. Pete’s historic Deuces neighborhood at 642 22nd St. S. Keep up with 22 South Food Hall on Facebook
