Mandarin Hide

It’s Manhattan Season — Here’s Where to Order One Around Tampa This February | Eater

"Long before St. Pete had more cocktail bars than local baseball fans, there was Mandarin Hide, the downtown staple that anchored Central Avenue nightlife for most of the 2010s. It’s still going strong in its brick-walled environs, staying current with regularly updated menus of cool cocktails. The crowd inside are people who’ve been living downtown since before it was cool, mixed with the friends they tipped off to the cocktail bar that started it all. Tell a bartender what you’re feeling and they’ll mix you up something special. Or, if you want to keep it simple, order an Angel’s Envy Manhattan, which they can smoke for you if you’re so inclined." - Matthew Meltzer
