What Should You Order at Bar@548? Craft Beer and Cuban Sandwich

St. Pete locals treat Bar@548 like their low-key Central Ave clubhouse for drinks and zero pretense.

August 11, 2026 About Bar@548

The 5:48 free shot is the real draw, not the bar food.

The Take

Bar@548 delivers exactly what a neighborhood St. Pete bar should: solid local craft beer and quality spirits in an art-gallery-adjacent sidewalk setting on Central Ave.

The food stays standard American and Cuban sandwiches with no sourcing details, so treat it as a drinking spot first and a meal destination second.

The Verdict

Bar@548 serves the identity of the unpretentious St. Pete regular who wants craft beer and outdoor seating without tourist markup or virtue signaling menus.

Order the local craft beer or cocktail paired with the Cuban sandwich and leave the deep-fried stuff alone after midnight.
