Love Ybor. Different world in the day time with a cigar and a coffee. Can be a little sketchy at times but as long as you know how to fight and or protect yourself you will be ok. Beautiful Cuban history and views. Always a growing place read more

Centro Ybor - top of bridge - Restaurants Near Me - Tampa, Florida

The service was great! Drinks were Great! Close to everything and the bartender was HOT!

If Ybor City, In Tampa, Florida, had a heart, it would be Centro Ybor. This is where the historic Centro Español is located, which was the social and political axis of Ybor City for many decades. There is a cineplex, and various restaurants, and even a wine club. Unfortunately, many spaces remain vacant since COVID. read more

That new place upstairs, is garbage. Got the taco order wrong 3 times, and soon will be another ratchet ass place. You can already tell..

Went there yesterday with my family from Chicago and we had a blast ! Dino the owner was so accommodating and the staff was super nice. When we are back in town we will be back for sure ! Make sure to check out this gem of a place! read more

Cute and historic. Nice walk through if you're ever in town. The buildings of brick give character to a southern historic charm. Although it was mostly bars and clubs there are other cute quirky shops to see. Walking down the strip I ran into cute little coffee shops, little hole in the wall Italian places as well as Hispanic cuisine and tapas bars. I also enjoyed different murals on the walls and the cute artistry. I stopped by a cute ice cream parlor that had a 70s kind of groove. Also one mural that I really loved was one that was captured was a Puerto Rican themed one. The only down side here is the lack of things to do if you're not a bar or clubbing person. If you have kids not much to see or do. Ybor should at least have something for little ones. read more

We were on vacation in Tampa, and looking for some shopping/things to do. Ybor can up multiple times as this fun, unique, and historic shopping/hanging out area. When we got there, we spent an hour looking around for shops, and we found one... sad shop. If you are looking for a place to eat, they have that, but no shops. Google has it labeled as a "shopping center", but it's not even close to that. read more

I was visiting the area after being away from Tampa for many years. I was happy to see that Ybor City hasn't been totally modernized and has held on to much of it's history. It's nice to still see some cigar factories and cigars being rolled individually in some of the store fronts. Ybor is pretty diverse and has something for most maybe teenager and up. You can shop, explore, hit the small parks, visitor center, restaurants during the day and it will be party central at night. I got there around 11 am during the week and it was fairly quite and got busier at lunch time. There are street people like any other city so just be smart. The visitor center is a great place to start and get any questions answered. They have a short movie and do walking tours. It's worth stopping. The 9/11 memorial park is well done and Centennial Park is worth the walk over. I didn't know about the roosters so that was pretty fun. Restaurant choices are plentiful! Everything from the famous Columbia to local mom & pops covering all ethnicities. Maybe try a Cuban sandwich. This is a fun day trip! read more

Centro YBOR has rich history. I have been to this place many time, I think is about time to gather the thoughts for this review. Centro YBOR has been Tampa jewel not just for the tourists but the history for the city. The historic building survived since late 18th century to now. The Cuban cigar was thriving at 1920. You know the Columbia restaurant alway roll back the price of 1905 at their anniversary. There are Cuban club building is very historic. You can join the historic tour in YBOR. When you see the balcony along East 7 avenue. This may be influenced of French colony. Many parade has been taken place at this street that it provided a good view. Many parades include the snow, new year, pirate, or guavaween parade. The new face of Centro YBOR has the Carmine cinema, Improv Comedy, Carne Chop House and many more. New comers include Hypo and Asiatic Noodle bar have made good addition to this area. The chicken has run wild at YBOR which is very unique. Trolley track is at the 8 Ave that connects to downtown. read more

Charming quaint downtown; historic cigar city. Bars and clubs get busy on weekends until 3 o'clock in the morning. There is a historic entertainment complex with a theater, comedy club, wine bars, shops and eateries.Colorful little shops lots of bars, tattoo shops, cigar bars and cafés and very colorful people hanging out. A large municipal parking garage with reasonable parking. The slow streetcar travels through it making a few stops at the Centennial Park, parking garage, Jose Marti park and center. The roosters add to the charm here. read more

Centro Ybor sits between 7th and 8th Avenues along 16th Street in the historic 7th Avenue district of Ybor City. Much like "The Grove" in Miami, Centro Ybor features a mix of retailers, restaurants and entertainment venues situated around a palm-lined plaza that captures the essence of Tampa 's historic Latin Quarter. There is plenty of parking in the nearby garages, or you can also park on the outskirts of Ybor City and ride the TECO Trolley / old-fashioned streetcar right along 8th Avenue, and hop off in front of the Centro Ybor eating, shopping, and partying district. Centro Ybor is anchored by the Muvico Centro Ybor 20 movie theater, and nearby you'll find some great restaurants such as Carne Chop House, Samurai Blue, and Hamburger Mary's. For entertainment you have places like the Improv Comedy Theater, GameTime, and the Electric Glide Segway tours. If you're interested in some Adult beverages then you can try the Tampa Bay Brewing Company and the Ybor City Wine Bar. This area has really cleaned up over the years, and the police have enforced curfews on the young hooligans to keep things under control. You'll feel very safe while wandering the streets and enjoying an evening in downtown Ybor. Well, except for tonight, since Centro Ybor will be "Ground Zero" for the Knights of Sant' Yago nighttime pirates parade through the middle of Ybor City. Expect lots of floats and pirates throwing beads and booty, and be prepared for the Adult behavior through the downtown area. It's great fun, but please party responsibly!!! read more

My first time going to Ybor was years ago way before i ever thought to move to Tampa. I was visiting my childhood friend and fresh off the bus we went straight to Ybor. He took me to Full Moon Saloon and man i had a blast. Fast forward some years now i reside in Tampa and i don't frequent Ybor that often but when i do have a decent time there is plenty spots for people watching,bars,clubs,restaurants and most importantly cigars cigars cigars! Almost anything your heart desire is here. read more

Great place, especially for people visiting from out of town. You should come here at least once. The night life is like no other in town. You have muvico for the moviegoers. The improv if you are in the mood for some stand up comedy. Restaurants in every corner including samurai blue, one of my favorite spots for sushi. And of course you have bars and night clubs all over. Make this your first stop on Friday night. read more

Movie time on the weekend and the theater bar doesn't open until 6p??? Enough said. :-( The theater seats were dirty, the service was slow to just purchase a ticket, and the candy selection left MUCH to be desired. I thought driving to Ybor for a movie would be fun!?!? It was a big disappointment and I'll keep an eye out on any theater updating before I make a trip back down to Ybor! (For a movie, at least!) read more

Interesting place. Didn't get to see the theater though - That would have been cool, I think. Plenty of options to drink at. Awesome Christmas too! read more

Nice spot to come and hang out. It's always been buzzing with people the times I've been. It's well-lit so I feel very safe in the area and with walking around. There is a parking garage right across the road that we always park in. It's usually $1 for 0-3 hours before 10PM. Think it's a flat $10 rate after 10PM. Lots of restaurants/bar options around! Hamburger Mary's is great to go to for the show! I haven't been inside the movie theater yet but it looks grand from the outside. Tampa Improv is here, lots of great headliners. I like that everything you need for a good time is centrally located in one spot. No driving around necessary! Have yet to go on the trolley but it's on my to-do list. Ybor itself has kind of grown on me lately in part due to Centro Ybor...there's just so much to do here and such diversity. I think I've finally become a fan. read more

I like how they have made this area a nice piece of the Ybor puzzle. A once rundown set of buildings, this nook of Ybor hosts great wine bars, sushi, brew pubs, comedy clubs, and much more. Though some people may not feel like it has, the area has really been cleaned up over the course of the last 13 years. When I frequented this area in college, it was ridiculous with how overrun this area was by people just looking to cause trouble, get into fights, sell drugs, etc. They have mandatory curfews for youngsters and there are a lot less "shenanigans" because of the sterner law enforcement. All of this doesn't mean you won't get hassled by homeless people, but that happens everywhere so it is what it is. read more

Nice area in downtown Tampa to grab some great food and cold drinks on a hot Florida day (or night). Parking is convenient, but there is a valet. The 717 parking app is easy for parking all around downtown Tampa. read more

Centro Ybor is like the downtown of any city but much smaller, the place consist of many restaurants near by and in the center(centro) it has a movie theater and a couple of restaurants in the second floor. There is also a comedy club located across the street from the movie theater witch was packed both Friday and Saturday that we walked/drove by. This mini downtown for Ybor city is nice surrounded with lots of people having a good time, there is plenty to do near by but if you are not in to the clubs or bars Centro Ybor city is the place to be, you can pretty much have a good time here with out having to go out of your way or go to down town Tampa unless you really like clubbing but even that there is still at least a couple of clubs near by on 7th street in Ybor city and there is even a hotel (Hampton Inn) in Ybor city ( also on 7th ave) were you can stay at if you do not want to drive home or don't live near by. This place is kicking it and well alive on Friday and Saturday and people are out and about in this area till about 3 in the morning and they start to come out as soon as the sun goes down. My suggestion is that if you are going to the comedy club here get there early, it seems to be VERY popular but also you can have some drinks up stairs or enjoy a movie. Centro Ybor city reminds me of Coconut Grove in Miami , it is just like it but a bit smaller. Good place to hang out with friends and have a good time, if you are in Tampa check out Ybor city and Centeo Ybor at night specially on Friday and Saturday nights. read more

Nice epicenter of the neighborhood. Even if everything is closed, it's still pleasant to stroll through and get different perspectives of Ybor. read more
