Central Park St. Pete lets everyone order what they want and stay together for the night. One person can grab tacos while another gets pasta. Then the group can head upstairs for dessert or down to a 22-seat cocktail room.
The building is still changing. Central Park's own site labels Kojo as opening soon and does not label Bar Hana as open, so treat the rooftop as something to confirm instead of the reason to make the trip.
Start on the Central Park ground floor when everyone wants something different
The main floor has Central Bar, a self-pour beer wall and seven open food concepts:
- Palm Avenue Deli for a modern New York-style deli menu.
- Constellation Burger for burgers and sandwiches.
- Don Ricardo's Taqueria for tacos and Mexican flavors.
- Strawberry Fields for the lighter side of the hall.
- Kojo Wok for Asian street food.
- Park Pie Pizza for pizza.
- Speaks Pasta for pasta and sauce.
You can order from more than one kitchen and keep the same table. That is the part that makes Central Park work for a group instead of turning dinner into separate lines and separate checks.
The second floor slows the Central Park night down
The Meadows brings dessert upstairs, while 27 North serves frozen cocktails Thursday through Saturday. The second floor also has more seating and event space, so the night can keep going after the food hall rush without moving to another address.
The Winfield is the reason to go below Central Avenue
The Winfield is the 21-and-older cocktail room in the basement. It has just 22 seats, opens Wednesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to midnight and takes its final seating at 11:45 p.m.
Walk-ins are welcome, but this is the room where a reservation can save the night. Reserve The Winfield through Resy before you head downtown.
The Central Park rooftop is still the moving part
The official Central Park site describes Kojo as the full-service restaurant and Bar Hana as the tropical rooftop bar. It currently labels Kojo opening soon and gives Bar Hana no open label.
That does not ruin the night. The open food hall, Meadows, 27 North and The Winfield already give the building several different moods. It does mean you should check the current Central Park concept list before making the rooftop the promise to your group.
How ordering works at Central Park St. Pete
- On the ground floor, order from a kiosk or scan the QR code instead of ordering at the individual booth.
- Watch for a text telling you whether to collect the order at a pickup window or from a food locker.
- At The Meadows, order at the counter. The bars use bar or table service.
General food hall seating does not take reservations. The Winfield has its own booking page, and groups can contact Central Park about reserved tables or private events.
Central Park hours, parking and arrival details
- Food hall hours: Sunday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Individual concepts can vary.
- Parking: nearby street spaces, lots and garages are marked on the official Central Park parking map. Check the meter and time-limit signs before walking away.
- Accessibility: the official site says the building has elevators, ramps and accessible restrooms.
- Dogs: dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas, not inside the food hall. Service animals are allowed indoors.
