Things To Do
Bradenton Riverwalk
Enjoy a 1.5 mile walk down the beautiful Bradenton Riverwalk. Fun fact, the west end is where we got engaged! Be on the lookout for dolphins!
Downtown Bradenton Public Market
Saturday morning markets in Downtown Bradenton Market Street go from 9am to 2pm. Stop by for great food options and sweet local vendors. Make sure to look for the biscuit vendor for some fresh sausage biscuits!
Oak & Stone
No good wedding location is complete without a rooftop bar with a beer wall. Oak and Stone is attached to the Spring Hill Suites and overlooks the river. They have great pizza and wings too!
Orange Blossom Coffee
Our favorite coffee spot (and Winnie's)! A short walk from both hotels in the heart of downtown. Tell them you're here for Brian and Abby's wedding!
PIER 22
Right on the water and it is the perfect spot for a sit down breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Best place for an espresso martini and tiramisu, our favorite date night treat!
Motorworks Brewing
Great local brewery right up the street from downtown Bradenton! Indoor and outdoor seating, food trucks, and live music
Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe
It may be too cold to enjoy the beach, but you can enjoy all you can eat pancakes and a wonderful breakfast at the public beach. Outdoor seating, walk up and order your food at the window and enjoy the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island!
PopStroke
It is drinking on a mini golf course designed by Tiger Woods. No further info needed.
St. Petersburg/Tampa
If you are up for a little drive, there is plenty to do up in St. Pete and Tampa. St. Pete is 30 minutes from Bradenton and has tons of breweries and restaurants. Our favorite places to hangout are 3 Daughters Brewing, St. Pete Pier, and Book + Bottle. Tampa is 45-50 minutes away with some highlights being Armature Works, Sparkman's Warf, or you can see if the Lightning are in town! If you head that way you can always try your luck at the Hard Rock Casino as well!
