St. Petersburg is poised to enhance its vibrant nightlife as the highly anticipated Sparrow, the first rooftop bar and restaurant in the EDGE District, prepares for its grand opening on December 20. Located on the seventh floor of the Moxy Hotel at 1234 Central Ave, this new venue aims to offer both locals and visitors a unique dining and social experience.
A Coastal Elegance Experience
Sparrow occupies an impressive 4,000 square feet and is designed around a theme of “coastal elegance.” Guests will be greeted by a stunning marble bar and an expansive outdoor patio that provides breathtaking views of Central Avenue. The architectural design reflects the spirit of both Central Avenue and St. Petersburg, as expressed by Nicholas Pantuliano, a partner at PTM Partners.

The drink menu at Sparrow is set to impress with innovative cocktails such as “Dali’s Surrealist Dreams,” which features a delightful mix of green tea vodka, passion fruit, Lillet Blanc, and lime, served in a glass rimmed with black salt. For groups seeking a communal experience, Sparrow offers shareable, tableside cocktails as part of their “Group Format” selection. In addition, guests can enjoy a carefully curated selection of local craft beers, along with an extensive wine and bottle service.
