They will have much more outdoor seating, including a 19-foot covered deck where they will host live music. The menu will remain the same but with an expanded kitchen , they can now offer breakfast 7 days a week instead of only on the weekends. If you have never visited Dead Bob’s, don’t let the “dive bar” look fool you. Their menu actually includes delicious items such as their famous burgers, pot roast, chicken pot pie, and smothered chicken.
Of course you can also find the solid favorites like fiend pickle chips and wings. Owner, Ben Scherlis told St. Pete Rising that “We never would have guessed in a million year that this place would have taken off the way it did.” Scherlis is also the co-owner of Dead Bob’s Too which is located in Tampa and The Joint in St. Pete.
Fun fact: The restaurant is named after a charming party animal named Bob, a unique character the owners randomly met at a hotel pool bar in Miami Beach many years ago. Bob has since passed, but his larger than life personality is still celebrated today at the restaurant and bar.
