The Joint: Secure Your Table for Hearty Pub Grub and Neighborhood Charm

When the vibrant St. Pete dining scene leaves you overwhelmed, trust the locals: The Joint is the unequivocal “must-visit.” The moment you enter, you are instantly engulfed by the rich, unmistakable aroma of hearty pub eats and a welcoming, low-key tavern vibe. This is where impeccable service meets unexpected culinary abundance and value.

The atmosphere is one of relaxed, neighborhood celebration, serving up food until late. Every detail—from the welcoming and accommodating service by Jordan to the availability of both indoor and outdoor seating—speaks of comfortable hospitality. This spot is clearly a local gem, perfect for catching up with friends, enjoying the full bar, and simply unwinding.

The flavors are extraordinary. Appetizers like Paul’s Balz (“Thanksgiving in a mashed potato ball”) are an incredibly delicious idea and a must-try, especially when paired with a bit of cranberry sauce. The Honey Teriyaki Cauliflower Bites (which are baked!) were right up there with the best-fried versions. Lastly, the Fried Green Tomatoes were another tremendous hit.

The Joint offers food and drink experiences that few other taverns dare to attempt. On your next visit, you must not miss the appetizer ritual: splitting a few plates around the table, all enjoyed with a perfectly prepared drink like the Bacardi and Coke or a Mule. Both drinks were on point and offered great pours—a super value at the Happy Hour pricing.

The ultimate FOMO moment comes from realizing the creativity and quality of the pub eats. From classic burgers and ribs to these inventive appetizers, the cuisine, excellent service, and good company guarantee a wonderful time.

This restaurant’s high local demand, particularly for its excellent Happy Hour and casual ambiance, means tables are quickly filled. Check out the Happy Hour and utilize the large parking lot to guarantee your table for this truly great spot to just unwind.
