Pinchers is moving from Lakewood Ranch to St. Armands Circle

Lakewood Ranch has closed

Pinchers opened on Lakewood Ranch Main Street in 2012 and served Lakewood Ranch for more than a decade. The restaurant closed in November 2026 so the family could move Pinchers to St. Armands Circle.

The new Pinchers on St. Armands Circle

The new restaurant is at 300 John Ringling Blvd, on St. Armands Circle in Sarasota, the shopping and dining circle on the way to Lido Beach. The Business Observer reported in June 2026 that Pinchers was taking over the former Tommy Bahama space on the Circle.

It will serve the full Pinchers menu, with locally caught blue crab, Gulf grouper, shrimp any way you like it, snow and king crab, and stone crab claws in season. Drafts, house wine, well drinks, sangria and house margaritas are 2 for 1, all day, every day.

When does it open?
