When people hear the phrase Tampa nightlife, they immediately think about bars and pubs and discos. It’s about drinking, dancing, and having the time of your life. While this is true and nightlife in Tampa is one of the hippest in this part of the country, there is more to the city than just bars and pubs. You can even have a nice and quiet dinner and that would still equate to having a nightlife in Tampa.
Here are some things you can try out while you’re here in the city:
Hang out by the bar
Instead of spending the night in your booth, maybe it would do you good also to hang out by the bar where you can talk to the bartender and even meet strangers that would probably interest you. Besides, if you plan to drinking all night, it would do you good to be at the bar where the bartender can keep the drinks coming. Just make sure you have someone to drive you home or you won’t have to drive or ride a taxi at all. You don’t want your night to commence badly, right?
Listen to live music
You don’t always have to go to concerts to listen to good music. A lot of the popular singers we know now started their careers singing in bars and pubs. Ed Sheeran, for example, used to sing in the streets of London, so who knows who you’re going to listen to? Find a good bar that features a live act, may it be someone popular or a new and rising start. Tampa produced many great artists and bands in the past, so you know you’re getting the real deal when you do watch a live music session.
Attend a karaoke or quiz night
Want to spend the night doing something other than drinking? Well, you can always go to a family-oriented bar that hosts karaoke or quiz night. You can bring your friends and family here, so you can spend the night just having fun and playing with others. There are nice freebies when you do win these things, so watch out for those.
Go food tripping
Tampa has a lot to offer when it comes to food, so if you don’t have time to go food tripping in the morning, why not do it at night when everyone’s free and can join you in your mission? There are loads of restaurants to try. Start with an ultimate steak dinner and go from there. Try out dessert places, coffee houses, bars with craft beers, and many more.
