It's a little buggy, but I love this concept since the order confirmation page ensures you provide all the info the bar needs to deliver your order to your table. When the waiter arrives, you can close out or start a tab. The space itself is very intimate and loft-like. Decent sound for musical performances. I just wish the only restrooms weren't on the first floor, but it's got a great location with plenty of street and parking lots nearby.

Our waitress, who was friendly and clearly trying her best, appeared to be doing everything -- taking orders, serving tables, and possibly even cooking. It wasn't her fault, but it made the entire service feel slow and chaotic. Despite the place being nearly empty, it took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get our food. That kind of delay would be hard to overlook even during a rush -- let alone a slow morning. Several menu items were already "out" which was confusing and disappointing for a small menu. It felt like they were unprepared to open for the day.

The building is absolutely beautiful and has almost 100 years of history. You can feel it the second you walk inside. Every room has a presence to it. The atmosphere is unlike anything else. It always feels full, even when it isn't. You're never really by yourself...;) The concessions are great, the staff is always friendly, and I love that they haven't tried to modernize away all the character. The little noises, the old floors, the way the building seems to settle around you during the movie just reminds you this place has seen generations of people come and go. I definitely will be back. I have a feeling something there is looking forward to seeing me again.

A Cinematic Masterpiece Before the Movie Even Begins…read more If you are looking for an unforgettable night out, the historic Tampa Theatre is an absolute must-visit. Calling it just a "movie theater" feels like a massive understatement - it is a breathtaking time capsule and a true architectural marvel that elevates the simple act of watching a film into a grand event. From the moment you step through the doors, you are transported into a spectacular, 1920s Mediterranean courtyard. The attention to detail inside the auditorium is stunning, offering an experience that modern multiplexes simply cannot replicate. Here is what makes it so incredibly special: * The Atmospheric Ceiling: You sit under a remarkably realistic night sky, complete with 99 twinkling stars and gently drifting clouds, making you feel like you are outdoors on a perfect evening. * The Architecture: The eclectic, opulent blend of Moorish, Spanish, and Byzantine details - surrounded by gargoyles, statues, and ornate balconies - gives the space a magical, almost surreal charm. * The Mighty Wurlitzer: Arriving early is a requirement! Hearing the historic theatre organ played live before the screenings perfectly captures the golden age of cinema. The programming is just as thoughtfully curated as the decor. Whether you are catching a brilliant independent film, a beloved cult classic, a documentary, or a live event, the venue makes every single screening feel momentous. Grab some popcorn, take in the gorgeous scenery, and enjoy the show. The Tampa Theatre is a meticulously preserved local treasure and truly one of the greatest places to spend an evening!

We had an enjoyable night out in historic Ybor for our tour. My son and I did the "ghost adventure"…read moretour and it was a small group of us on a Friday night. Our guide, Chrissy was great! She really tried to engage all of us and get our sense of adventure going. My son clung onto her every word lol. I am a skeptic so I wasn't really believing what our ghost hunting equipment indicated, but it was still a fun (and spooky!) time. We met up in the lounge area of the Muvico where we got to learn a bit of history about the theater first. I love the historical aspects of these kind of tours the most! The ghost stories we were told along the way kept my attention. Our tour that night included about 5 stops and we got to go inside two places. We went into Carne Chophouse where we learned the story of the safe outside the restaurant and that the staff there have seen some really weird things! Also learned that the bar and ceiling of the restaurant are original from when the place was first built. Okay, that's not creepy, but it was interesting as the restaurant is so beautiful. We stopped in front of the Don Vicenti Inn and heard the story of Dr. Avellanal's schizophrenic son who did lots of crazy horrible things- this story was my favorite! We were also allowed into the Scientology building where we went into a dark hallway and got to use our ghost hunting equipment. Good fun! And the group we were with were all very nice and welcoming. Our tour lasted about two hours and my son loved it. He didn't even complain about all of the walking and really got into our little adventure. :)

The exhibit is setup through a loading dock in the back, but it was really well done, and the setup was really appropriate for the display. If you are a Banksy fan, I recommend going before the exhibit leaves. The last day is September 27, 2026. We spent over an hour looking at the large samplings of his work. It was easy to buy tickets online and there was no issue using our QRcode to get admitted. The event was crowded but we were able to take all the time we wanted to see the exhibit and they had a nice merch selection at the end. The only thing was finding parking ahead of time. Since we went during the day, the parking for the center wasn't directly available. I ended up using the ParkWhiz app to find parking a block or two away, which worked out well. I'd definitely go to another event at this center, as it was easy to get in and out of the area and if you have more time, there are a lot of restaurants nearby and it's not far from river walk or other museum/art destinations.

The main theater is very large, and depending on where you sit, you can be quite far from the stage. Unfortunately, that can take away from the experience, especially when you're trying to watch a play or see the orchestra. Ticket prices have also increased significantly, and when you add the cost of parking at the public lot across the street, it can make for a very expensive evening. At this point, some ticket prices rival actual Broadway prices, which is pretty insane. Overall, I'd still recommend going to see a show at least once to experience the theater. It's a nice venue and there's a lot to enjoy, but I do think the rising prices and seating distance are worth considering when planning your visit.

From the moment it began, it was clear that an enormous amount of talent and hard work went into every part of this production. The four performers carried the entire show with remarkable range. They moved seamlessly between singing and a variety of choreography styles, each number bringing something different to the stage. What stood out most was how much fun the performers were clearly having, and that energy was infectious. The audience was laughing throughout, fully engaged from start to finish. There wasn't a lull in the entire performance; every scene felt purposeful, and you could tell the cast had put in serious work to make it look effortless. This is the kind of show that reminds you why live theater is special. It's polished, it's funny, and it's performed by genuinely talented people who clearly love what they do. I highly recommend this theater to anyone looking for a great night (or day) out. Whether you're a longtime theater fan or just want an entertaining few hours, this production delivers.

For Cuban Sandwich lovers, this is it! The mecca! The place to be! The Grand Ole Opry of ham,…read moreroasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard and (yes) Salami between two pieces of Cuban bread! No matter how you like, traditional or otherwise, you'll find it here. Look no further than the streets of Ybor where the sandwich was actually created over 100 years ago by Cuban, German and Italian immigrants who were working in the cigar rolling factories. I've been to 3 of the 4 festivals, and this year was my favorite because I was stone cold maxin' and relaxin' in the V.I.P. area. No, we weren't roped off by red velet and there weren't bottles of Courvoisier being passed around while people made it rain greenbacks, but we had something better going on. Free samples of every Cuban sandwich that entered the contest, bottled water, plenty of shade and the smell of cigar smoke thick in the air. There were literally so many mini-Cubans that I eventually had to just get up and leave. The temptation was larger than the max capacity of my stomach. The contest was blind, as were our samples, so I had a favorite, but unfortunately have no clue who's sammich it was. A cruel twist of fate for all V.I.P. goers, I guess. Amongst the Cuban sandwich serfs, far beyond the gates of the V.I.P., tons of sandwiches, empanadas, pinchos and other Latin goodies were being served up. The lines were long, and the aroma in the air couldn't be duplicated anywhere else on this planet. Fresh off the heels of a trip to Hawaii and Okinawa, I was happy to find the Aloha To Go food truck because they have a Hawaiian version of a Cuban sandwich, appropriately named after Kamehameha. Ingredients? Kalua pork, SPAM, Swiss cheese, mango pineapple chutney with sriracha mayo on Cuban bread... Absolutely freaking face-melting. This was the best non-traditional version of the sandwich I've ever experienced in my life.

Latin music playing at the background and people enjoy their afternoon off with family. We have try Sergio's Cuban sandwich from Miami. The line to get the sandwich is long. It takes me 30 minutes to line up to order. The price is cheap with whole sandwich for $7. I could have just order 10 of them and sell $10 to the people line up at the back. The drinks stand that next to the hot the benefits for the people who are in the line. The sandwich is ok. I have tasted better Cuban sandwich at Miami with better mojo pork. We also order the grilled steak meat from one of the food stand. It was juicy and nice. My wife gets the Puerto Rican food. It has the blood sausage, pig stomach soup, and bacalao fried dough. I like the fried bacalao and the pig stomach. It cooks with yellow bean base. Those are savory. Love the festival. The organizer pull a lot of heart include donation to the homeless to assemble the longest Cuban sandwich.
