3 Daughters Brewing

It started with a beer-battered fish recipe and a question: how many beers does it take to put three daughters through college? A decade later, 3 Daughters Brewing is one of Florida's largest independent breweries — and its St. Pete tasting room has grown into one of the busiest live music rooms in the Bay, pulling over 250,000 visitors a year into a big, loud, family-friendly warehouse in the Warehouse Arts District.

The room is built for hanging out, not staring at screens: there are zero TVs, three bars pouring from 42 rotating taps, and game tables handmade by the family's own granddaddy. Live music lands here nearly every night of the week — expect everything from acoustic singer-songwriters to full bands packing the concert floor.

Look closely at the bar: one end holds a brick from the family's great-great-grandfather's 1872 Louisville brewery. The other end holds the three daughters' handprints. That about sums the place up.
