I don't normally take the time to contribute but i was compelled after reviewing such a bad review for Baywalk. I have 2 teenagers and we always have a wonderful time at baywalk. We enjoy the Movies there and Gratzi restaurant upstairs which i highly recommend. Gratzi is classy,elegant and offers tantalising food with 5 * service. After a fantastic meal we proceed to the downstairs courtyard to relax and listen to a little jazz. Everyones Happy,smiles and laughter fill the air,and yes from teenagers too!\t\nI LOVE TEENAGERS,and happen to own a few,thank the good lord!! \t\nMy family thoroughly enjoys baywalk and have been going there for years. We love kids,teenagers,family,good music,dancing,and laughter,the good things in life. Baywalk is a great place to spend a night out for dinner and the movies. On the flip side, if you don't like kids,good dining,salsa dancing,and romantic jazz then go somewhere else that makes you happy. I wish we had a baywalk in Clearwater. Have fun everyone and God bless you- Stephanie ...read more

An intimate venue where you can see larger quality acts for a fraction of the price / headache of seeing them in an arena sized venue. There is the strange no-reentry rule for patrons under 21 years of age. The law states that no one under 21 is allowed reentry if the place is serving alcohol (the State Theatre is full liquor). It is a non-smoking venue (again, the law), just like you cant smoke at the St. Pete Times Forum, you cant smoke at the State Theatre. There is no designated smoking area, so patrons do have to leave the building to smoke. So that does create an awkward situation for both security and patrons between 18-20 who are legally old enough to smoke, but are not allowed to exit/reenter the building. They are very strict in enforcing a no drugs/underage drinking/fighting policy. Parking can be an issue. Downtown St Pete's parking laws change depending on whether there is a baseball game or not. If you park on central avenue east of 7th street, you are safe from parking tickets. If you park west of 7th street on central avenue, you will get a ticket (again depending on if there's a game). But here's the catch - there are two 7th streets on central avenue, 7th street south dead ends east of the venue, then 7th street north continues west of the venue. Best just to park east of 7th street south, because the parking patrol can never come to a consensus as to which 7th street they're going to enforce. The city of St Pete has intentionally made it very confusing to park downtown, in the process generating more revenue for the city. ...read more
Venues to Concerts, Sporting Events and Theaters Ticket have used a monopolizing ticketing company approach. Why should customers suffer by paying jacked up ticket prices and surcharges and numerous other charges on charges? There are some private venues that refuse to place this burden on its customers. Just to name a few they are Major League Baseball, Nascar, Pearl Jam, Madonna have chosen to use a private ticket broker that doesn’t charge thousands of dollars for setup fees. Who would do all of this and not charge, you ask? There must be a catch? My theory is simple we are all trying to accomplish one thing and that is to make money.

Applauding at the wrong moment could interrupt a performance. Performers like to know when their work is appreciated, so it is ... ...read more
