Moon Under Water (St Petersburg - Florida)

Moon Under Water

Yet another traditional British Tavern with a US twist - yes thats right it more of a restaurant and bar combo than a pub. This place is in a partiularly lovely location beside the pier and marina giving wonderful outdoor views of the park and deep south style surroundings. The quaint novelty of the place to appear as British as of particular intriguge, yes indeed they boast here of traditional beers - most of which are completely up to date lagers of the american variety and thatnk the heavens - Cider! Yes and in a real pint glass as well - what a treat. From the outside the place looks like a large squared house design with an al-fresco dinign section and inside a darker more bar-liek feel with American- British colonial reference and a friendliness from the bar staff which feels forced and ungenuine.

Overall the place surprised me. It was so totally American yet had one or two ritish charms including a very old map of the British Isles dating from about 2000 years ago. In all the charms and the fantastic food save the day and I would gladly return here, just its rather a distance from anything similiar for a second drink..and its also expensive for the area, and if you want to try a curry the "Beyond" strength is about equilivent to a Madras. 6/10
