PIER 22 Restaurant, Patio and Catering in downtown Bradenton, a landmark waterfront-dining destination, was built with wine lovers in mind. We specialize in a wide-ranging selection of house-made dishes that emphasize fresh, seasonal ingredients with a matching wine list that has been thoughtfully cultivated in favor of quality and accessibility. We enjoy introducing our guests to labels that they may be unfamiliar with or hesitant to seek out on their own!
