Ahead of the holidays, we’re always on the lookout for places to take the whole crew. Whether it’s the family, the friend group, or the office crew, this is the time of year for gatherings, and we love it.
In St. Pete, one of the newest stars in downtown is also one of the best spots in the area to bring the party. Voodoo Brewing Co., which just celebrated its first anniversary, has quickly become a favorite for locals and visitors alike.
From its lively atmosphere and community-focused events to what many consider the best wings in town, Voodoo Brewing Co. is a prime example of a place that truly has something for everybody. Whether you’re looking to catch up with friends, enjoy a great meal, or join in on a fun local event, this downtown hub delivers it all.
Voodoo’s reservable upstairs space
Not only is there plenty of room – with reserved and private party options available – but Voodoo also has such a wide variety of offerings. They excel in local, regional and national craft beer, of course. They also have a full liquor bar and specialty cocktails, along with a rotating wine list, offering plenty for those who don’t love beer.
Meanwhile, Voodoo also quietly has what might be the best elevated pub grub in the area. Think nachos with house-made tortilla chips, hand-tossed pizzas, massive burgers, and truly impressive twice-cooked wings. The hand-cut fries are stars in their own right.
Then, you have arcade games, pool, ping pong, and TVs everywhere showing live sports. There are regular theme nights for musical bingo, trivia, live music and more.
And it’s all right in the middle of downtown St. Pete, with the opening garage door windows to welcome in all the sunshine.
Whether you’re getting together with the crew or hosting a private event for the whole office, Voodoo is one of the best spots in St. Pete to raise a glass and celebrate the season.
St. Pete’s best lunches
One of our other favorite things about Voodoo is that they’re actually open for lunch. Most brew pubs don’t even open until mid-afternoon, not to mention that most aren’t whipping up the high-quality food you’ll find at Voodoo.
Whether it’s a slow Tuesday or a Saturday on the town, Voodoo’s kitchen is pumping out the good stuff for lunch every day.
New to the lunch lineup is Voodoo’s Lunch Punch program. This one is as easy as it gets: buy four lunches and get the fifth one free. You don’t even have to order the same lunch. Get the Chicky Chicky Bang Bang one day and the Steak Salad another. Any lunch item counts (no appetizers or bar bites, naturally), and after five, your sixth lunch pick is free.
The burgers get the headlines, but our two picks: The Chicago Bear (a fantastically filling roasted beef sandwich) and the blackened mahi sandwich. Whatever you get, we’re confident you’ll be happy.
