Tampa After Dark?

[Chris Mannix]

Looking forward to the Outback Bowl, but not knowing much about the area thought I would seek advice from the pack. I have seen quite a few posts, that are very helpful, that talk about what restaurants and places are great for families. Being someone without kids the wife and I are looking for some good bars, and restaurants that can be more adult friendly. Also looking for a good late night scene for New Years.

Ask Rev. Hugh Freeze.

there is a casino there, think its a hard-rock if I remember correctly. The women dealing blackjack were pretty hot and wore miniskirts, so that helped ease the pain of them taking all my money.

St Pete downtown is pretty good too

Ybor City is like our version of Bourbon St. It’s not nearly on the same level or as big but that is the general gist of the place. There are a few hotels there where you can walk to everything. The only other place in Tampa for a true nightlife is really SoHo which is a strip of bars and restaurants in Hyde Park on South Howard Ave. The best option is really Downtown St. Pete but it is a bit more of a trek to/from Raymond James. It’s a really young, hip area with tons of nightlife. Finally, if you want to do it like a local, a recommendation would be to stay at an AirBNB in the Old Seminole Heights neighborhood and take in all of their food and drink places. It’s an up-and-coming neighborhood with a foodie scene, breweries, etc. You can even go to Brew Bus Brewing and hop on their bus which will take you on a tour of different drinking places.
