Trail Garden at St. Petersburg Distillery

"Went for the dance event Friday- both the male and female bartenders were extremely rude and unfriendly, acted like you were putting them out by asking for a drink. Made us feel unwelcome and we didn’t order more drinks because they were so unfriendly. Brought down the atmosphere- disappointed bc we wanted to support this new venue. Burger was good though."

"If you love spirits and liquor cocktails, this is a great spot for you! It’s like the brewery concept but with spirits instead of beer. There really aren’t other drink options. The food is provided by a food truck and was decent. The outdoor seating is cool and the decor is colorful and fun. It’s fun to ride your bike here, as it’s right off the trail. This time I tried the pizza, it was a pie with peaches, bacon, pesto and arugula. Pretty good. The coconut crusted onion rings were tasty too. Drinks are $15 and pretty fancy."

"The Garden is a quick bike ride from my house. It's right off the trail and I've been so excited to try it. I ordered the peach and burrata salad. The portion is small for the money and instead of burrata there was shredded mozzarella on my salad. The flavor profile was good, however it shouldn't be advertised for something it isn't."

"Took my wife here on a date and ordered the brisket sandwich and she had the st pete burger. I can tell you the brisket was thick and tender that fell apart in your mouth. I tasted my wife's burger and it was bursting with amazing flavor. The drink was amazing as well. Would repeat soon and recommend to friends and family. Great Atmosphere and vibe."

"Let me preface this by saying that I really want to love this place. I live in the neighborhood and was really excited to see the distillery thriving and expanding. The atmosphere here is beautiful. The service leaves quite a bit to be desired. There is one bartender who wears a basketball necklace - she is excellent. The other bartenders were exceedingly rude to me during my visit. When I walked up to order a drink, the bartender rolled her eyes and sighed. She then informed me that they were out of ingredients for most of their signature cocktails. Even after agreeing to a simpler drink and being friendly to her, she continued to be short and roll her eyes. I expect MUCH better service for $15 a drink. This is my third time giving this place a go and leaving disappointed and having spent too much money. Here’s hoping they can pull it together because it’s a beautiful spot and the distillery makes great spirits. One last note - the food area stopped serving before 8pm and we were not able to get the dinner we came for. Overall, there just seems to be a lack of direction and management."
