The New Jannus Live

It may not quite be the eighth wonder of the world, but Jannus Live sure is wonderful. Once a run-down (but beloved) courtyard venue in downtown St. Pete has been thoroughly overhauled and packed with amenities — without sacrificing its rustic charm.

Jannus Live currently has an estimated capacity of 2,000.

In addition to a vibrant new multi-color scheme, new stucco, reinforced railings and shiny new fixtures throughout, Jannus Live includes these new features:

• A resurfaced and leveled floor, providing concertgoers a safer environment.
• A wrought-iron stage housing, 32 feet high, including a waterproof covering that protects the stage and a portion of the courtyard.
• Indoor, air-conditioned restrooms: 27 women’s stalls; a roomy men’s room with urinals and stalls.
• A full patio bar in the courtyard’s back corner, augmented by several mobile bar stations situated strategically throughout the venue. Patrons can obtain a libation with a minimum of wait (or walk).
• A completely facelifted balcony area that can accommodate more than 200 fans. This VIP area includes 8 private VIP suites and single-ticket VIP access with a wristband. The upstairs area includes a separate bar and plush restrooms. An enlarged party deck in the back has been expanded, leveled and cleaned up.
• A floor level VIP area, the Captain Morgan Koi Pond, a party deck with excellent sightlines. A pool stocked with large, colorful Koi fish is covered with Plexi-Glass, making it one of the most unique dancefloors anywhere.
• Coming soon to the VIP balcony: a roomy lounge with a full bar. THis XO room will stay open after shows, operating as a nightclub/hangout/peformance space.
