Rumba Island Bar &amp; Grill, with its fleet of boats bringing fresh catch daily, has quickly become a standout in St. Pete. The seafood hotspot is located at 6445 4th St. N.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot to love at Rumba, especially their fantastic happy hour and bar bites deals. But No. 1 this time of year is the fresh Florida stone crab. The stone crab season officially began in October, and Rumba is one of the best spots in town. Their boats are out catching fresh crab every day, and because there\u2019s no middleman, they\u2019re also able to offer some of the best prices you\u2019ll find anywhere. The combination of freshness and affordability is hard to match.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"733\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"A plate of stone crab claws\" class=\"wp-image-194068\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/stone-crab-rumba-2-1024x733.webp.webp\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/stone-crab-rumba-2-1024x733.webp.webp\" alt=\"A plate of stone crab claws\" class=\"wp-image-194068\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>St. Pete\u2019s top happy hour at Rumba<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it isn\u2019t just the fresh catch that keeps us coming in. Perhaps our favorite discovery at Rumba is the absolute plethora of incredible deals, the best of which are available all day, every day. Not that we mind an excuse for an early-bird cocktail, but it\u2019s great to find a place where you can dine out affordably even at peak hours.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re noted chicken wing enthusiasts here at I Love the Burg, and there may not be anyone who can beat the 99-cent Jerk Smoked Wings, available at all times at Rumba. Slow smoked, flash fried and chargrilled for that perfect smoky flavor, they\u2019re served with your choice of cranberry jerk, tropical bbq, or buffalo hot. It\u2019s a steal of a deal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"691\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"A plate of chicken wings\" class=\"wp-image-194069\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rumba-wings-wide-1024x691.webp.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rumba-wings-wide-1024x691.webp.webp\" alt=\"A plate of chicken wings\" class=\"wp-image-194069\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>And if wings are just a warmup act for your meal, be sure you\u2019ve grabbed a seat at the bar. Rumba has $6.99 bar bites available all day every day, as well. Options include just-caught fish bites, smoked chicken nachos, firecracker shrimp, and smoked fish spread.<\/p>\n<p>To perfectly cap off the experience, Rumba\u2019s all-day happy hour keeps the libations flowing, at both their indoor and outdoor bars. Any time you visit, you can select a variety of 2-4-1 $7.99 cocktails, mixed drinks, sangrias, and the Rumba libation \u2013 their signature rum punch. Or, you can go for the classic and enjoy their $2.99 mugs of beer.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what you choose, it\u2019s an island paradise where every hour is happy hour.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"184777\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"A plate of Caribbean food\" class=\"wp-image-184777\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rumba-oysters-1024x1024.webp.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"184777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rumba-oysters-1024x1024.webp.webp\" alt=\"A plate of Caribbean food\" class=\"wp-image-184777\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"184775\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Cocktails at a restaurant\" class=\"wp-image-184775\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rumba-cocktails-819x1024.webp.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"184775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rumba-cocktails-819x1024.webp.webp\" alt=\"Cocktails at a restaurant\" class=\"wp-image-184775\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"42780\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"A fish sandwich at Rumba\" class=\"wp-image-42780\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rumbasandwich-1024x576.webp.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"42780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/rumbasandwich-1024x576.webp.webp\" alt=\"A fish sandwich at Rumba\" class=\"wp-image-42780\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Caribbean date nights at Rumba<\/p>\n<p>While the unending happy hour is always a great excuse to visit, Rumba has daily draws, as well.
