In the modern day, we see many new concepts overtake the old ones, many places go out of business, or simply move on when their time has come. We here at Club 201 recognize the historic significance of The Detroit Hotel, the first building built in St. Petersburg. Understanding this, we couldn't bare to stip it down and make a modern looking establishment. The only way for us to move forward was to take a step back and see what led to the Detroit Hotel staying suspended in an evolving city, in order to do it right!

The Hotel Detroit was built in 1889, with its original body that still stands to this day. There were two additons later added on to the buildling; the first in 1911, and the second in 1914. Club 201 is located in what seems to be the Hotel's coffee shop, which is mentioned in articles and ads found in the restoration and construction phase of the bar.

Naturally, this being as old as it is, our team uncovered many historic treasures in the building which you may read about down below. This drive changed our outlook, and inspired us to go with a Steampunk theme, which is a Victorian era theme and genre, focused on the vast imagination of the human mind, and is the best way to show the Victorian interpretation of Sci-Fi. We are fully comitted to this theme by our interior and exterior design, our drink selection, and our staff, who all dress the part and are well educated on the history of our building, and its features.

With our craft cocktail menu, our craft beer program, our CBD products, and our live music seven days a week: Club 201 is not a bar, it is an experience. You can ask any of our talented bartenders to craft whatever your heart desires. We are commited to suprising and impressing you with craft spirits and beers that you have never tried before, and expanding your horizons every time you walk through our doors.
