LAND O' LAKES, FL — Stillwaters Tavern, a long-time favorite from downtown St. Petersburg, has officially opened its highly anticipated second location at Bexley in Pasco County. Known for its relaxed vibe and high-quality food, the locally owned concept brings a refreshing, non-chain dining experience to the Land O' Lakes community.

Why This Location Makes Sense
Land O' Lakes and the surrounding Bexley area continue to see massive residential growth. While the corridor has quickly filled up with standard fast-casual chains, there has been a growing demand from local residents for upscale, sit-down dining options with a strong bar scene. By bringing a proven, chef-driven St. Pete staple into the heart of Pasco County, Stillwaters Tavern fills a major gap in the local culinary landscape.
