Last month, St. Petersburg’s 22 South Food Hall at the Historic Manhattan Casino announced a closure, then quickly backtracked and announced that a group of local investors had actually saved the concept.

Now we know that St. Pete’s 22 South Food Hall—located at 642 22nd St. S—will officially reopen next month on Oct. 1. A press release says the grand opening will go until 10 p.m.

Local foodies can try 22 South vendors Irie Mon Jamaican Grill, Betterway BBQ, Louie’s Italian Eatery, Haper’s Burgers, and Scratch.

The food hall is effectively being saved by Collective, a group of community-minded entrepreneurs.

In addition to food, 22 South—located in South St. Petersburg’s historic Deuces neighborhood—can be rented out for events and will host live music.
