Cheeky's, a fish and chicken bar, is coming to the Grand Central District

Cheeky’s, a raw bar and seafood grill with classic fried chicken, will debut in St. Petersburg’s Grand Central District in mid-2024.

The new concept will be located at 2823 Central Avenue in a portion of the building formerly home to China Finders, a specialty china shop which closed earlier this year after more than 30 years in business.

Cheeky’s is being brought to life by Tampa native Nate Siegel, co-founder of Tampa’s award-winning Willa’s, a neighborhood restaurant and bar, and Willa’s Provisions, a casual all-day café.

“Coming to St. Pete is a dream come true, and opening a new little place along Central Avenue like Cheeky’s is so exciting,” said Siegel. “This is already such a special community, and I am honored to become a small part of it alongside my friends at Bandit, Baba, Wild Child. and more.”
