  • The Ale and the Witch craft beer bar will open a barbecue spot in the same courtyard in early April.

Downtown St. Petersburg's domestic craft beer bar, the Ale and the Witch, will open a barbecue spot in the adjacent El Metate Grill. Owner Brett Andress confirmed the plans today after officially purchasing the business.

"Everything will be smoked on the property," Andress said Friday. "We will have nine made-from-scratch sauces from all over the South."

Andress says they hope to open in early April, starting with take-out and to-go orders first.
