About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Great for creative cocktails

At Iberian Rooster, the complexity of colonial street food meets the simplicity of tapas, interlocking in unexpectedly seamless ways to create innovative, dynamic flavors worthy of the harmony that exists between the culinary cultures of Mozambique, Macau, Brazil, and Goa. The lush space brims with the energy and warmth of Mouraria, and so does the colonial fusion on every small plate.

Just downstairs (but worlds away), you’ll find yourself spellbound by Subcentral, a modern speakeasy offering up delicious - and potentially dangerous (yet always entertaining) hand-crafted cocktails, and entertainment designed to fit whatever mood you’re in.

drinks at the bar with friends and family. bartender Whitney was great. we lingered, and during a birthday toast the bar back Elijah leaned in with rude comments. souring our experience we left. Whitney is a detail oriented professional. 5 stars if Elijah is behind the bar, walk/run/uber to the next place

Was not impressed with the food. I love Portuguese food. But this was too fusion.

The service was very slow. Long waits between ordering our drinks, entrees, and dessert. Once the place was full, we could hardly hear each other and had to keep repeating. Food quality was mediocre at best and not worth the waiting or the lack of ambiance. My only positive comment is they had a great craft cocktail list. We won't be back.

Came here early one Monday afternoon for tapas and handcrafted cocktails. Everything we tried was phenomenal. Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. A must in St. Pete Beach. We may take another vacation just to try the large plates and live music later at night.

We were there for a late lunch, so it was very quiet and relaxing. The food was delicious; I had a goan curry wrap and the goan cauliflower/potato patties; my husband had kale soup and minchi. Everything was delicious; spiced well and cooked perfectly. I indicated live music/date etc in the recommendations because there is a very lovely downstairs area where they have live music almost nightly. We will be going back to experience the dinner atmosphere, dinner menu, and live music. Our waiter was friendly, informative, and entertaining without being intrusive. Good job, Iberian Rooster! Spices up Central Ave!

This place is only worth going to if you are after unique and tasty cocktails. Their list was expansive and impressive. However, it lacks in other areas. The decor is appealing and trendy, but very uncomfortable. Half the tables were very low, its stools at about the same height as the table top, so you have to hunch over. not only that, but there was chicken wire around the table, so everyone had to man spread (men and women alike) to get into eating proximity. So very strange. Next our waitress, though extremely nice, ended bring a total of 3 incorrect drinks to our table. Again, we got to pass them around and drink them, so it was kind of funny, but i mean, one order was for a simple vodka martini in which the wrong liquor was brought twice. (First some kind of goldschlagger stuff, then gin. When the curries came, the "chicken curries" had maybe two small pieces of chicken each. My friends thought they had accidentally recieved vegetarian curry. Anyway, nice drinks, nice staff, but I kind of regreted choosing this place to kick off our weekend.

Food was great. Seemed to be short-staffed so food took quite awhile. Was worth the wait! Authentic Portuguese. Loved the sweetbread and cinnamon rolls! Definitely going back to checkout the evening activities. Great line up of talent!
