3 Best Sports Bars in St Petersburg, FL

If you’re craving the best burgers in St. Pete, look no further than Engine No. 9. This cozy spot offers an incredible selection of burgers, but keep in mind it’s not ideal for large groups—tables max out at around five, though the bar area can accommodate more. Aside from their standout burgers, the salmon with Sriracha sauce is a must-try, and the calamari fries make for an unforgettable appetizer. Everything here is fresh, flavorful, and sure to impress!.

This place is a great place to hangout and enjoy there food. We had the Black flag burger and the Shrimp wedge salad. WOW the burger was one of the best I’ve ever had. The salad was amazing with great flavors and the shrimp were a good size. We love this place. It is a must go to if you are in St. Pete. Tino the manager is a top notch great guy .

Really great lunch today! Burgers were very tasty and you have to try the duck wing’s appetizer. The red wine bbq sauce on the burger was sooo good. The sauces with the duck was tasty and perfectly spiced. Will be back for sure.

In the area for a weekend trip and chose Courtside as was impressed with the option of sushi as well as some cool takes on the usual sports bar dishes. There's plenty of TVs to watch various sports games. Bar service was attentive without being intrusive. Opted for the fried stuffed mushrooms, pork chops, and MVP sushi roll. Fantastic tastes! The mushrooms with a great balance of crispy and juicy. The pork chop was very meaty and the mash & gravy were deep in flavor. The sushi roll was delightful - tasted like it was freshly made, held together well so able to manipulate with my less-than-perfect chopstick technique. Also took an Italian sub to go and that was packed with meat. All in all, very impressed and would definitely return if back in the area .

Went for lunch during the week and was seated immediately. Wanted to sit in the patio, but the cigarette smell was too much, so I went back inside. Ordered the calamari appetizer and the Southwest Salad with blackened chicken. Calamari was great, crispy breading, and no chewiness. It came with a marinara sauce that had great tomato flavor. The salad greens were fresh and a combination of iceberg and mixed greens. Personally, I thought there was too much iceberg. Chicken was not flavorful at all. I'm not sure how that happens with blackening seasoning. I asked for the peanut salad dressing to be on the side, i preferred the blue cheese i asked for. I'll try something different next visit.

I've been trying to work my way through their massive menu and everything I've tried is great! Even their sushi! It's a great place to watch a big game with sound, go on a date, have a work meeting or hang out with friends. Good service. Cool bartenders. Convenient location. No wonder it has thrived for so long!.
