Bar Mezzo, a new elevated cocktail bar concept from the owner of Intermezzo, to debut in the EDGE District 

The owner behind Intermezzo Coffee and Cocktails is bringing a new sister concept to the bustling EDGE District in downtown St. Pete this summer.

"Intermezzo will still be that low-key neighborhood bar with drinks you might find in Rome - Spritz, Americano, Negroni - simple cocktails done very well,” Sabatini said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “Whereas, Bar Mezzo will be a sophisticated cocktail experience.”

"We want this location to be a go-to nightlife cocktail bar with live music and DJs playing on the weekends," added Sabatini.
