Sea Hags restaurant owners announce closure

The longstanding waterfront Sea Hags Bar and Grill restaurant, at 9555 Blind Pass Road in St. Petersburg, will serve its last meal on June 5. "We all kind of knew this day was coming when a developer bought the property a few years ago, but that doesn’t make any easier," the owners wrote in a recent Facebook post about the permanent closure. "We got 15 years out of this place - which was a pretty good run for an old fishing hut built in the 1950s. But like so much waterfront property in Florida, it’s going to be torn down and redeveloped."
