Largo’s ‘downtown activation plan’ will include Dead Bob’s

A St. Petersburg neighborhood bar known for burgers, wings and sports is expanding into Largo, where city officials are spending public money to bring restaurants and other businesses into their new downtown complex.

Largo commissioners approved a 10-year lease Tuesday for Dead Bob’s Bar & Restaurant to open its fourth location at Horizon West Bay. The restaurant will occupy about 2,072 square feet in the development’s parking garage building, next to an outdoor stage along West Bay Drive.
