Two new concepts will soon debut from the former 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House location in downtown St. Petersburg.

On Aug. 23, the space will welcome a new cocktail lounge called Pluma, and a new full service restaurant called Juno & The Peacock,   featuring "new American coastal cuisine" for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.

According to a press release, the menu at Juno & the Peacock will span everything from dry-aged steaks, to seafood towers, seared grouper, crab cakes and more. Over at Pluma, the lounge's focus is on light bites and cocktails, as well as a "curated wine selection highlighting over 1,400 choices primarily sourced from New World regions."

Collectively, the two spaces will accommodate up to 268 guests with both indoor and outdoor seating.

Last summer, co-owners Shawn and Jeanna Damkoehler—who are also behind the nearby Mediterranean-Aegean restaurant Allelo—closed 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House for "renovations." Then, in April, the owners announced plans to convert the space into Juno and Pluma.

"Having lived here all my life, I am incredibly proud to contribute to the growth of St. Pete and bring new dining experiences to my hometown,” said co-owner Jeanna Damkoehler in a statement. “It has been a labor of love, bringing together experts in every field, from the design firm to the culinary and beverage teams, to create an entirely new culinary destination in the Tampa Bay area. We can’t wait to unveil the concepts in a few short months and are confident our vision and attention to detail will impress."

More details on the grand-opening will be announced in the coming weeks.
