For more than twenty years, the first words in the Tampa nightlife scene have been "Ybor City.” A strip of former cigar factories were turned into dance clubs in the 1990's and Ybor became synonymous with having a good time. While those clubs are still going strong, more options abound for those whose tastes differ from high-energy dance music.

About Tampa, FL Nightlife
Flashy décor and loud Latin rhythms at high-tech dance clubs dominate Tampa's nightlife scene, and you'll find the most action along 7th Avenue in Ybor City. Hop from floor to floor at neighborhood fav Club Prana, where you'll find different styles from Hip Hop to 80s to salsa spinning on all five levels of this fancy complex. Live artists appear regularly at a handful of nearby bars, featuring shows that might include blues, jazz, rock or even Celtic tunes. For a more subdued experience check out the Hyde Park neighborhood where chic clientele gather at the bar of 717 South and enjoy exotic cocktails. Watering holes like Four Green Fields and Dubliners Irish Pub are popular with the locals, who take advantage of imported beers on draft and dependable grub to soak up the brew.
