Shep’s Deli. Seriously kick ass. If you are looking to lighten your wallet substantially in exchange for a really fine beer, or better yet 6 or more of them, Shep’s is the place. I dropped in last night and picked up a variety of beers from Avery, which as usual with selections from Shep’s, were kick ass.
The funny thing is that they have a deli - in fact, they are called a deli. And the one thing I’ve never gotten from Shep’s? Anything from the deli. If you’ve eaten there, leave a comment and let me know how it is.
Next time you drop by Shep’s (located at 2001 4th Street N, pretty much the corner of 22nd Ave and 4th St), take a good look at the counter where you pay. Years and years of patronage have worn deep into the woodgrain formica counter top. Ah, the stories that formica could tell.
got a tip?

the roast beef is great. be quick in the mornings though. they make breakfast sandwiches that get destroyed by construction workers. and said construction workers wash the sandwiches down with cold bud lite. awsome.
I have never had a sandwich for lunch. I’ve only had their breakfast sandwiches. Which rock. I think they’re the best breakfast sandwiches in the city.
Their sandwiches hit the spot and seem to always be fresh. I’ve been going there for over twenty years . . . Not much has changed except more beer.
Just found this place via the Thomas Hooker beer locator. I intend to pick up some Thomas Hooker beer, but I’ve not yet been. I’m writing this to say: If they are over-priced - as I hear - there are a couple other option in St. Pete that have very respectable micro and import selections at fairly reasonable prices. Rollin’ Oats has many of the micro brews I go for (nice assortment of Stone, Bell’s, Sierra Nevada), and they have the heavy-hitter imports as well as some very nice import finds. They have 6-packs of Kostritzer black lager - for example - for $6.99. The other place is the Rally’s that just opened on 4th and 22nd. They have a very nice variety, and they have a build your own 6-pack for $9.99. That sounds steep, but they have many beers that go for over $2 a bottle. To give you an idea of the types of beers you can get, the last 6-pack I purchased included: Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout, Bell’s Oberon Ale, Anchor Liberty Ale, Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, Bison Organic Chocolate Stout, Fuller’s London Pride. All new beers for me - save for London Pride.
I should emphasize that they’re the only place in St. Pete - as far as I gather - that has Thomas Hooker beer, so for certain beers, I’ll pay a little extra just to have them. Does anyone know if they sell Russian River beers?
