Last summer, 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House closed for "renovations." Now it appears that two new concepts will debut from the downtown St. Petersburg location.
The space at 400 Beach Dr. NE is now home to a new cocktail lounge called Pluma, and a new full service restaurant called Juno & The Peacock, which will offer a "new American coastal cuisine" for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. According to a press release, the menu at Juno & the Peacock will span everything from dry-aged steaks, to seafood towers, seared grouper, crab cakes and more. Over at Pluma, the lounge will focus on light bites and cocktails, as well as a "curated wine selection highlighting over 1,400 choices primarily sourced from New World regions."
Collectively, the two spaces will be able to accommodate up to 268 guests with both indoor and outdoor seating.
There's currently no exact opening date, but co-owners Shawn and Jeanna Damkoehler—who are also behind the nearby Mediterranean-Aegean restaurant Allelo—plan to open both the restaurant and the cocktail lounge by late summer 2024.
"Having lived here all my life, I am incredibly proud to contribute to the growth of St. Pete and bring new dining experiences to my hometown,” said co-owner Jeanna Damkoehler in a statement. “It has been a labor of love, bringing together experts in every field, from the design firm to the culinary and beverage teams, to create an entirely new culinary destination in the Tampa Bay area. We can’t wait to unveil the concepts in a few short months and are confident our vision and attention to detail will impress."
