about us
Pistil : the female organs of a flower.
Hello! We are Anthony & Carly - owners of Pistil House. We are locals having grown up in North Pinellas, but as most do, we fled for “greater horizons” to pursue steady careers and do as one does. From NYC to Houston to New Orleans to Oregon and even New Zealand in pursuit of something greater. That ‘something greater’ ended up being right here in our own backyard. We’ve turned all our experiences on the line, brewing, farming, winemaking, flower processing, and event planning coupled with our love of old things into a living, breathing business.
Some call us a wine bar, some call us a flower shop, but Pistil House is just a reflection of us.
Let’s talk flowers . . . the blooms are our everything. They are our inspiration and they are why most of you walk through our door. We carefully curate our flower display that adorns our fireplace. We sell our wide selection of blooms and greens by the stem in a build-your-own-bouquet format so you can tell your own story. That said, we can help put something together for you and as always, we will give your stems a fresh cut and wrap so you walk away with a beautiful gift or just something for the dining room table.
For dranks, we run the spectrum from our exclusively-Pacific Northwest wine program to $5 shiners, yellow bellies, and bud heavies sold out of our clawfoot tub. Also, rotating craft beers from the Tampa Bay area line our taps as well as unreal NA options from booch to palomas row out our shelves. And don’t forget our kegged cold brew and lattes for our caffeine junkies.
For food, we serve light, but mighty snacks that go great alongside our libations. We also offer a badass build-your-own charcuterie and cheese program. You pick from our rotating meats and cheeses out of the fridge and we will turn it into a proper board with all the pickly, jammy, and bread things based on what we have in the larder for the week.
With all of that, we really just wanted to create a place that felt like you were walking in to our home, where we could share good times, flowers, and some booze.
