Sunday Through Thursday, Guests to Enjoy Food and Drink Specials on the Waterfront
TAMPA, Fla. (July 14th, 2026) – Palmette Brasserie and Bar, the signature waterfront restaurant at The Westin Tampa Bay, has quickly established itself as one of Tampa’s most vibrant dining destinations since opening its doors in January 2026. Now, the restaurant is giving guests one more reason to pull up a chair with the launch of the Palmette Happy Hour, available Sunday through Thursday from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
Designed with a relaxed, tropical atmosphere inspired by Florida’s breezy waterfront lifestyle, Palmette features both indoor and outdoor dining, a lively bar that opens seamlessly to the patio, and panoramic water views. The new happy hour is built for exactly that kind of effortless evening; a chance to linger over handcrafted drinks and shareable plates as the sun dips over Tampa Bay.
The Palmette Happy Hour menu offers something for every appetite. Guests can start with Truffle Parmesan Fries, crispy fries tossed with parmesan cheese, truffle oil, and fresh herbs, served alongside a roasted garlic aioli, or go straight for the Traditional Wings: crispy jumbo wings available in Buffalo, BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, or Plain, with celery and ranch dressing, priced at $9 and $12 respectively. For something more substantial, the Blackened Chicken Sliders arrive three to an order on brioche buns with pepper jack cheese, crispy onions, and bourbon bacon jam, while the classic Sliders feature grilled beef with cheddar, crispy onions, lettuce, tomato, and Palmette’s signature sauce.
On the drinks side, the happy hour menu keeps things approachable without sacrificing quality. Domestic beers are $6, house wines $7, and Tito’s & Soda $8. For guests in the mood for something more crafted, an Old Fashioned runs $9, and the Signature Palmette Margarita, a nod to the restaurant’s Florida-forward cocktail program, is $10.
For those who want to make an evening of it, the Tampa Bay Sunset Special pairs any happy hour appetizer with any happy hour cocktail for $18, a fitting tribute to the views from Palmette’s waterfront patio. The bar flows onto the outdoor patio, where guests are treated to waterfront views that make the Sunset Special more than just a deal; it’s an experience.
The happy hour menu reflects the same coastal flavors found throughout the full dinner menu, which features highlights like Pan Seared Snapper with Saffron-Tomato Broth and artisanal brasserie pizzas from the restaurant’s signature pizza oven.
Guests looking to extend their evening beyond happy hour can also take advantage of Palmette’s live music programming, which runs every Friday and Saturday night, adding to the energetic, social atmosphere the restaurant has become known for.
