1. Hyde Park Cafe

Small, snobby, and stale.

this club was a bust. not for college students-- too many old people and not a good place to party.

Best club on the east coast on a Tuesday night; Now I schedule my required Tampa trips for Tuesdays; Like a weekend club scene during the week; A late night club.

Crowd is definitely uppity people who want to be important on a weekend evening but are otherwise nobodies. Outside of that, there are some nice looking women, staff is cool, prices on drinks are reasonable, music tends to be hot or cold but fortunately there are multiple rooms so you can just move if you don't like what's playing.

I am in Tampa one week every year on business and make it a point to stop by HPC on a Tuesday. The crowd is a little yuppie-ish, but that shouldn’t put anyone off if you are truly going for the music.

Outdoor atmosphere would be better if music was louder out there. DJ JASK is the best house DJ in the area and a must-see. Finally they moved him to the large spacious dance room. I rated atmosphere low because of dress code restrictions and yuppy-over-30 atmosphere. Drinks specials are frequent. On the positive note, it’s a clean, classy, club, with good house and grooves.

This hangout is almost completely outside, which isn't the best idea when the Florida summer hits and it is way too hot. The music is repetitive and generic, the patrons white yuppies, and the drinks are expensive. Recommended if you like a pretentious atmosphere and rude service.
