Mirror Lake Renovations Complete
/
What was once St.Petersburg’s main source for fresh drinking water, Mirror Lake, has served as lakeside retreat on the northern side of downtown for decades. However, over the past few years it has gone unappreciated leading it to be underutilized.
In 2012 the City of St.Petersburg took action and developed plans to invest nearly a half million dollars to renovate and revitalize the Mirror Lake Park. By widening and enhancing the sidewalk the lake is now surrounded by a unified trail that gives stunning views of Downtown St. Petersburg and Mirror Lake’s wildlife. In March most of the renovation were completed.

After five years away, The Moon Under Water is reopening on Monday, November 16th, at 5 p.m., bringing its British pub fare, Indian curries, and extensive beer selection to downtown Gulfport.
The restaurant, which operated for more than two decades on Beach Drive in downtown St. Petersburg, has found a new home at 2832 Beach Boulevard South, formerly occupied by The Drunken Taco, which closed in September 2025.
The reopening will bring back longtime favorites, including fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, and a variety of Indian curries ranging from tikka masala to vindaloo.
The Moon Under Water first opened in 1997 at 332 Beach Drive NE. Founded by Alan and Suzanne Lucas, who moved to St. Pete from Wales, the British Colonial pub operated for nearly 25 years before closing in 2021, when the space was converted into Ceviche.
