“Diner 24 DTSP” Opening in Fuego Location late-March 2017

Downtown St. Pete Gets Its’ First 24-Hour Diner

UPDATE MAY 16, 2017: BUSINESS IS CLOSED.

Ken Collazo, the owner of Fuego Lounge, just shut down the restaurant on Saturday, February 4th to start renovations to open his 24-hour diner in the same space.

Diner 24 DTSP is expected to open in late-March. They will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with over 200 items on the menu, and you can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime you want.

The space will be redesigned to look like a retro, art deco, 1960s diner with neon and chrome. There will be ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, waffles, pancakes, eggs, burgers, etc.

A few other food items will include; shepherd’s pie, steaks, chops, fish & chips, chicken wings, and much more.

A General Concept of the New Look

Grab & go muffins, bagels and sandwiches will be available for those on the run. There will be a juice bar, coffee bar, espresso … and a full liquor bar serving until 3:00 am.

Think 60s Diner Meets Oxford Exchange

Since the space is so large with a second floor and different rooms, Diner 24 DTSP will also have similarities to Oxford Exchange in Tampa.

There will be two large meeting rooms upstairs currently dubbed “The Boardroom” where you can have lunch meetings while showing PowerPoint presentations, for example.

There’s a separate room downstairs that will be designated a “quiet room” where you can read, work, or study.

The location, across from Williams Park, has been experiencing a slow, but steady “clean-up”. The closing of the bus stop, increased police presence, and even other new businesses opening, like The Galley around the corner, has helped spruce up the neighborhood. There is also a new restaurant buildout happening on the corner where the Krispy Chicken place used to be.

DISCLAIMER: Kevin, Lori, Abby, Haley, & Lindsey do not dine anonymously (this would be impossible) and we sometimes get free food (though never expected). However, we dine with the locals and we support our own. You will always get honesty in a respectful manner. We do not include any large national or regional chains in our ratings and reviews. We focus on independent locally owned eateries exclusively.

PLEASE NOTE: Reviews reflect a certain moment in time. Some restaurants stay extremely consistent over many years, and some change for the better or worse. Some things that may change are: chefs, recipes, food suppliers, ingredients, philosophies, ownership, etc. We always hope that you have the same good, or great experience we had.

  • Please send me the correct email for applying for jobs. I would like to send students from Tomlinson Adult Learning Center where I run the Career Lab. I tried E-Diner24DTSP@gmail.com as it said on the window but it didn’t work.
    Thank you.

  • Was excited to hear of their opening on Friday for Tampa Bay’s Blues Fest weekend. Went there last night with four other friends around 1:30am but was disappointed upon entry to be told by the hostess that the cook had food poisoning and there wasn’t anyone available to cook. Not a good way to start off your grand opening.
