Copper Shaker

The Best Spots for Rum Cocktails in Tampa | Eater

"Usually, bars that specialize in creative drinks made with grand theatrics have food as an afterthought. Not the case at this downtown St. Pete mainstay, where you’ll find nearly as many people drawn by the bang bang cauliflower, filet mignon, and sriracha hollandaise sandwich as they are the drinks. Whether you’re in for dinner or a nightcap, the bar at Copper Shaker will make you feel like a longtime regular, whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth. The jovial, friendly staff will happily walk you through the menu, though save them some effort and just go with the Lost in Palms, made with Zacapa Rum, coconut, tamarind, pineapple juice, and orange juice." - Matthew Meltzer
