St. Petersburg's new Red Tiki Bar at 7361 46th Ave. N. will host its official grand opening Saturday, Dec. 13.

Owned by Seth Santiago and nestled on the corner of a small strip plaza, "central St. Petersburg's largest tiki hut" will open its outdoor patio from 2 to 10 p.m., while the inside operates until 2 a.m.

With tropical, island-y decor and a performance stage illuminated by laser lights, the bar plans to feature eats, craft beer, $1 domestic drafts and $3 Fireball shots throughout the celebration. Live music, giveaways and raffles will also be featured.

Other highlights of Red include its more than 20 television screens and biker-friendly parking spots.
