Situated in the heart of downtown Saint Petersburg, nestled between Beach Drive and the Sundial in the large Tower Plaza courtyard, The Ale and the Witch stands as a testament to American craft beers, local music, and the vibrant canine culture of the city.

A Haven for Dogs and Dog Lovers

The Ale and the Witch is a dog-friendly venue that celebrates its canine patrons.
