While Tampa is not exactly Miami, we have so many things to offer when it comes to food, shopping, entertainment, and of course, Tampa nightlife. It’s not as hippin’ and hoppin’ as the nightlife scene in Miami and in Orlando, but the very distinct way in which Tampa residents enjoy their nights will keep you wanting to come back here.

Just like any city in Florida, Tampa sits near the bay and as such, has comfortable climate all-year-round that makes it a fun place to spend any season in. So whether you’re headed here during the spring break or the winter break, we’re sure you’ll find something interesting to do for an exciting nightlife.

Pubs, bars, clubs

The many pubs, bars, and clubs in Tampa offer you entertainment like no other. You can choose between wanting to try out different craft beers and cocktails or simply listening to a soulful jazz music from a local talent. If you want to dance the night away, there are clubs for that, too. Whatever you and your friends are looking for, we’re sure Tampa will awe you with it.

Sports bars and quiz nights

If you’re not exactly in the mood to drink cocktails and hard liquors while meeting strangers or “drinking” with the bartender, you may want to head over to a sports bar and watch exciting live sports while getting merry with your friends. Since it’s the NBA Playoffs, you may want to time your visit to the bar when there’s an exciting game you want to watch.

Karaoke nights

Are you looking for something the ladies would love? Karaoke night could be the answer to your dilemma. You can sing to your heart’s delight and everybody will simply applaud you or they will be too drunk to remember how bad you sounded. Not to worry. The karaoke is not for the best singers. It’s for those who have the guts to stand up on stage and belt a classic.

Night markets

Night markets are fun because there are bargains everywhere. And when it’s a really cool night, there’s hot choco and hot waffles you can all munch on while people watching. Aside from fun activities that are usually hosted by the organizing committee, there are also live concerts being held in night markets. Thanks to the wonderful artistic community of Tampa, there is simply too much talent here that markets and parks are possible venues to an awesome musical night.
