You may be wondering where best to unwind after a day of shopping and strolling and visiting museums in Tampa, Florida. What does a Tampa nightlife has to offer, after all? The thing about Tampa’s nightlife scene is that it’s not as wild as Miami, but it’s as fun and probably a whole lot more exciting than its neighbor.
Here are some spots you can check out once the sun is out and the people are out to party:
The Hyde Park Café
The Hyde Park Café sits near the coast. It’s a crowd favorite because it mixes salsa dancing with great food and well, palm trees. Can you imagine dancing beneath palm leaves? Well, that’s how Hyde Park is being advertised. It also has an extensive menu that caters to everyone’s delight.
Club Prana
There are five floors to Club Prana, all of which offer a different vibe and music when you land. What it promises, though, is that for every floor you visit, you will be transported in a different era in music—whether you want reggae, pop, or a little bit of Latin. There’s enough music and food for everyone to enjoy and be merry.
The Honey Pot
If you’re a member or a proud supporter of the LGBT family, this is a destination and not a stopover. It has a large dance floor and entertainment such as DJs and drag shows are always happening here. There’s truly nothing like partying with the LGBT community where everyone is simply having fun and cheering on each other.
Gaspar’s Grotto
There’s something truly unique about a pirate-themed bar. Yes, pirates as in Pirates of the Caribbean stuff. You won’t see Johnny Depp here, but you’ll probably enjoy the Latin grub, the live music, the drink specials, and the vibrant outdoor lounge that is perfect for some alone time, too.
The Castle
Just like the Club Prana, the Castle offers different levels of entertainment and music for every floor. You get to choose where you land, so you can choose among new wave to pop music. You might also be surprised to know that people dress differently in this bar. The crowd is dressed interestingly from Goth to fetish, so be ready with your cameras and your outfits!
Wherever you land in Tampa for a night out, we’re sure you’re going to enjoy it. There are many different bars you can choose from but one thing is for sure, you’re going to have the time of your life here.
