Ferg's Sports Bar & Grill
The Experience
Ferg's Sports Bar & Grill is more than a sports bar — it's a St. Pete institution that has become inseparable from the city's game-day culture. Spanning nearly two city blocks along Central Avenue, the sprawling complex features over 90 TVs, multiple bars, and a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces that make it the go-to gathering spot whether the Rays are playing or not.
The menu hits all the right notes for a sports bar done well: signature wings that have earned a loyal following, fresh burgers, authentic Cuban sandwiches, flatbreads, and a solid craft beer selection. Live music adds energy on weekends, and the outdoor areas keep the Florida sunshine in play year-round. Perhaps its most unique feature is the pedestrian tunnel under 1st Avenue South that connects Ferg's directly to Tropicana Field — making it the ultimate pre-game and post-game destination for Rays fans.
