There’s a new barbershop in St. Petersburg with a fresh twist. Barbers and Beers recently opened at 2619 Central Ave. in the Grand Central District.
The concept blends grooming services with a laid-back bar atmosphere, letting customers enjoy a cold beer during haircuts and treatments.
Owner Donald Riley chose Central Avenue and St. Petersburg for their charm, creativity, and walkability. The shop aims to be a community-focused hangout where people can relax, get pampered, and socialize. As described on the company’s website, it is “where a premium grooming experience and your favorite adult beverage come together!”
Barbers and Beers offers haircuts, beard trims, shaves, waxing, massage, facials, and other services.
Riley brings 25 years of experience to the shop, specializing in modern mullets and high skin fades. The St. Pete shop is Riley’s second location, following his first in Marion County in 2021.
