Remember the wonder and magic of Rainforest Café as a kid? Imagine owning your own enchanting hotspot—or becoming the owner of the ONLY Tiki Bar in the Edge District, guaranteed to draw crowds. Inside, lifelike Disney-designed trees, a 65-ft epoxy river bar top, and versatile indoor-outdoor patios create an immersive escape. This isn’t just another bar—it’s a destination.

But here’s the game-changer: this location qualifies for the coveted $1,800 SFS Liquor License. Instead of wasting $525,000+ on a quota license, you can operate a full bar with spirits, beer, and wine for less than two grand a year. Most downtown competitors can’t qualify, but this venue checks every box: 2,500+ sq. ft. interior, over 120 seats, full kitchen setup, and food sales ratio compliance. It’s a legal loophole that lets you open with full-bar rights from day one. And if you want to tear it down and build YOUR DREAM, the SFS license is the perfect way to avoid wasting half a million dollars on BS startup costs—and reallocate that money straight into your redesign or rebuild budget.

Why This Bar is a Must-Buy:

- Community Icon: 8 years strong in the Edge District, beloved for Pride events and the “Keep St. Pete Local” movement. Already a proven hotspot with steady foot traffic and loyal customers.

- The ONLY Tiki Bar Opportunity: Transform into the Edge District’s one and only tiki concept—or keep the magical Rainforest Café vibe. Either way, it’s a guaranteed magnet for locals, tourists, and event crowds.

- Event Magnet: Tuesday nights already draw hundreds. Two parking lots, 2,500 sq. ft. of versatile space, plus a stage, sound system, and LED lighting make this a natural hub for live music, markets, and private events.

- Growth Ready: Build out your dream kitchen, expand menu offerings, or keep the turnkey coffee, kava, and Kratom setup. With premium equipment already in place, you can operate immediately and scale fast.

- Prime Location: Walkable, high-traffic spot between Central Ave. and 1st Ave S., just minutes from Rays Stadium. Unbeatable visibility with outdoor wall-wash lighting that makes the building impossible to miss.

What’s Included:

- Four, 3-door / 9-tap kegerators – High-volume service; perfect for beer, cocktails, kombucha, or specialty drinks.

- Dual floor-bottle coolers – Keep bottled beverages ice-cold and ready to serve.

- Commercial espresso machine – Elevate mornings and late nights with café-quality coffee drinks.

- 65-foot epoxy bar – A showpiece for mixology, presentation, and guest interaction.

- Entertainment stage + pro sound system – Ready for bands, DJs, or private events.

- Front & back patios – Two distinct atmospheres: vibrant street-side energy + laid-back backyard oasis.

- Seating for 130 guests – Flexible layouts for dining, events, or nightlife crowds.

The Expansion Angle:
This isn’t just a bar—it’s a scalable business model. Add food service with a custom kitchen, host ticketed events, or lean fully into the tiki concept to dominate an untapped niche. Or, if you want to start fresh, the SFS license loophole lets you save half a million dollars on BS startup costs and instead put that budget into creating your dream build-out. With this setup, you’ll launch faster, stronger, and with higher ROI than competitors.

Bottom Line: This is more than a turnkey bar—it’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Between the Rainforest Café nostalgia, the chance to own the only tiki bar in the Edge District, unmatched location, thriving community, and the $1,800 SFS license advantage, you’re buying into a proven business with explosive upside. Whether you want to keep the magic, expand it, or rip it down and build YOUR vision, the numbers make sense. Bars like this don’t come along often in St. Pete—and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
