News broke recently of the planned launch of There Goes the Neighborhood, a brand-new locals-facing neighborhood bar opening in St. Petersburg. Behind There Goes the Neighborhood is the Drink St. Pete Group, the team that brought St. Pete bars like One Night Stand, Tequila Daisy, Whiskey Exchange, and more.
As it turns out, the Drink St. Pete is launching another, separate concept in a space adjacent to There Goes the Neighborhood: The Dublin Drop, a new “Irish-themed party bar,” says recent coverage by St. Pete Rising.
The bar’s menu will have, as its centerpiece, the Dublin Drop. What’s a Dublin Drop? It’s a drink you probably know by a different name, that one that requires the drinker to plunk a shot of Bailey’s Irish Cream into a glass of Guinness. It’s commonly known by a very different and, to say the least, insensitive name (“Irish car bomb”) which one should by no means use on a visit to Ireland.
There will be 15-20 Irish whiskeys, Irish beer, and 15-20 different Dublin Drop varieties. The St. Pete Rising coverage lists several, including the PB&J Drop, “which contains Guinness, Screwball, Chambord, and Baileys”; the Drip Drop, “Guinness, Bailey’s Espresso Crème, and Jameson Café”; and the Banana Drop, “Guinness, Howler Head Banana Whiskey, and Bailey’s Irish Cream.”
This party bar is also going to work to keep prices affordable for guests, Michael Jennings, who heads up the Drink St. Pete Group, told St. Pete Rising.
