St. Petersburg is officially putting the band back together at the Manhattan Casino. On April 28, 2026, the city announced that the long-closed landmark on the Deuces will be refreshed and reimagined as a two-level event and music venue for residents and visitors, returning to service as a rental hall for weddings, conferences and concerts while keeping its historic soul front and center. Renovations are slated to wrap in spring 2026, with bookings expected to open later this year.
