I come over here all the time on my nightly walk and people watch. I also have been to Splitsville a bunch for bowling and eating. The LightHaus Beer Garden is at the middle of the wharf and is a nice place to watch a game, catch a beer, and enjoy the Tampa weather. Sundays are usually the best day to come here because then you can watch the cruise boats sail away. The Tampa sign is right next to here. There's not a giant Sparkman Wharf chair that you can get your picture at. Oh, and don't sleep on JoToro. I like getting Mexican food over there and it's very cheap. Once again, another great spot to people watch.

Didn't know beforehand that many of the eateries are carry out only with no air conditioning, which was not so fun on a sweltering July day. While there are a few restaurants where you can sit indoors, we wanted the food hall freedom of choosing from different vendors, so ate outside. The food options were fewer than expected, the food that we chose wasn't very good. and overall there was no liveliness to the place (no music, no families, no outdoor games etc) on the day we went.

It costs more than competitors like WeWork, but there is an obvious professional focus here that is not so clear at some other coworking spaces. It was quiter (although that could be because it was a Friday). The Wi-Fi worked quick and if you want a full trial I believe you can visit for a week. Right now I'm in the middle of a choosing a cowork space so I wanted to experience this place for a day and see how I liked it. They have free snacks and your usual coffee, I liked that they stuck with something local instead of a generic brand. The cowork space is dog-friendly so if you have a furry friend and want to bring them to work, this could be a solution for you. The bathrooms were clean, there was plenty of quiet "telephone booths" if you do not have an office and the soundproof elemt seemed great. I could not hear anyone having meetings while walking around. They could use more restrooms though. I would recommend it if it fits within your budget. I like it!

I would give this location zero stars if that were an option…read more My former employer leased office space at this location for three remote employees, even though only one of us would actually be using the facility. We were placed in a glass-enclosed office in the middle of the building's highest-traffic area. It felt more like a retail display case than a functional workspace. Everyone with an office at industrious Channelside had to walk directly past it, making it extremely distracting and unsuitable for focused work. I raised the issue immediately. Dana showed me a smaller, quieter office, but immediately informed me there was a contract on the other office, meaning annual that couldn't be cancelled. I explained that the office she showed me would work perfectly well. I told her I would speak to corporate about it and would obtain approval from my corporate office to move. Despite that approval, I was repeatedly told that the existing "contract" prevented any change and it would be 13k for the new office, a month. What Kristi, Dana, and Kate all failed to disclose was that the agreement was month to month. Each person relied on the existence of a "contract" as the reason nothing could be changed, while withholding the fact that there was no long-term commitment. I learned that only after specifically requesting a copy. Not one person offered meaningful assistance or made a genuine effort to find a reasonable solution. Instead, the focus appeared to be on getting another agreement signed while continuing to collect approximately $12,000 per month from my employer for offices that were entirely unused. Months later, I returned because construction at my condominium made working from home difficult. The original space was still sitting unused, yet the charges continued. No one from this location had reached out to address the situation, suggest a more appropriate office, reduce the unnecessary space, or otherwise work with the me or corporate. I am now looking for office space again, and I would not use this facility even if it were offered to me for free. Transparency is central to my own line of work, and this experience felt evasive, opportunistic, and deeply unethical. I do not do business with organizations that operate this way. While I cannot speak for every location, I would never recommend the Channelside office. This was one of the most troubling business experiences I have had, particularly because management appeared more interested in preserving revenue than helping a client who was clearly paying for space that was not being used. I hope other locations do not operate the same. Would not recommend.

Looking for a place to co-work and found this spot in downtown Tampa. It's a little hard to find…read moresince there is no signage in the building, just look for the WeWork sign and its on floors 14-15. There is also a 16th floor, but you can only access with an access card and it's a little buggy. There's a bagel shop next door if you want to grab food before going in. Inside there are plenty of tables, Wi-Fi, and plugs (there could be more though), and also telephone booths for you to have meetings in if you need a quiet space, which you might, considering some people were having full-on meetings in the open spaces. The complimentary coffee is good and so is the tea. There's also a fridge to store your food, microwaves to heat up food, and snacks available for purchase. There is plenty of seating and the attendant at the front is friendly. It is currently open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. so keep that in mind if your working hours differ, you might be able to stay in after with limited services. There is a nice view of downtown Tampa here and the highway (yay traffic). Overall, I would go back and recommend this spot.

It can turn into a full blown Saturday night party scene with flashing lights and packed sidewalks. Or it can be light, bright, interesting, and genuinely fun if you approach it with curiosity and a plan. My friends and I had a great time. The four of us found a very reasonably priced Airbnb close to Ybor, split the cost, and kept the weekend affordable, which mattered to all of us. We are at that stage of life where people are changing jobs, moving homes, shifting states, and recalibrating priorities. Being in this age group comes with both opportunity and instability, so we are all a bit more cost conscious right now, and this setup worked perfectly. Our main reason for being there was to go to Funny Bone, right in the heart of Ybor, but we intentionally walked the strip during the day first so we could see the area before the nightlife really kicked in. During daylight hours, you can appreciate the historic architecture, the energy building, and the mix of shops and restaurants without the late night intensity. By Saturday night, it was a different story. The later it got, the busier it became. Nightclubs and bars filled up, lines stretched down the sidewalks, and police cars were clearly present to manage the crowds. Some people who have not been to Ybor recently might describe it as dangerous. I would say it depends entirely on your comfort level and your expectations. If you are uncomfortable with crowds, loud music, and a heavy party atmosphere that ramps up around 1 or 2 a.m., you will probably want to wrap up your night before midnight. The lines outside the clubs grow long, the sidewalks get packed, and the energy shifts from casual to full throttle. Personally, I felt safe the entire time. I was with a group, we were aware of our surroundings, and nothing felt out of control. Having spent most of my life in downtown Los Angeles, this did not feel extreme to me at all. It felt like a typical entertainment district on a Saturday night. Ybor is not one dimensional. It is layered. It can be gritty. It can be vibrant. It can be chaotic. It can be charming. It really does become whatever you decide to engage with.
