If you love the laid-back charm of a backyard cookout—juicy burgers, ice-cold drinks, and good times with friends—then get ready to meet Glamper, downtown St. Pete’s newest bar bringing summer vibes to Central Avenue. With a camping-inspired theme, creative cocktails, and a lively atmosphere, Glamper is set to become the go-to hangout spot.
What to Expect
Glamper officially opened its doors Thursday, March 6, at 217 Central Avenue. This concept comes from the Ohio-based Forward Hospitality Group, known for hotspots like Good Night John Boy and Welcome to the Farm. After a successful launch in Cleveland, they’re bringing the party to St. Pete.
Step inside, and you’ll feel like you’ve entered a cozy log cabin, with park maps lining the walls and lanterns casting a warm glow. Plus, with downtown’s largest covered patio and a massive 20-foot TV screen, Glamper is the perfect place to catch all the Tampa Bay sports action. By night, the indoor space transforms into a vibrant nightlife destination, complete with live DJs Thursday through Sunday and plenty of space to hit the dance floor.
Food & Drinks: Elevated Cookout Classics
Glamper takes classic American BBQ favorites and levels them up with high-quality ingredients and bold flavors. The menu features locally sourced, organic ingredients, with standout dishes like:
- Smashed Burger – Grass-fed beef, American cheese, chipotle mayo, and pickles
- Hawt Dog – A gourmet hot dog topped with cheese sauce, caramelized onions, and crispy potato sticks
- Buttermilk Chicken Tenders – Herb and parmesan-crusted, fried to crispy perfection
- Garlic Parmesan Wings – Tossed in a rich, bold glaze
- Lighter options include a rice bowl, Cobb salad, and Caesar salad.
Now, let’s talk drinks. Glamper’s craft cocktails are playful, nostalgic, and packed with flavor. Some options include:
- Toasted Marshmallow Espresso Martini – A boozy campfire treat in a glass
- Lakeside Lemonade – Vodka lemonade served in a take-home canteen
- Scout’s Honor – A refreshing tequila margarita with watermelon and cucumber
- Classic canned beers served straight from the cooler.
Not drinking? Glamper also offers delicious mocktails like the Peach Ginger Fizz and the Watermelon Mint No-Jito.
