Best Nightlife in Tampa

"Ulele is a popular restaurant located on the northern end of Tampa's Riverwalk. The menu is inspired by the indigenous people of Florida and brings together fresh and local ingredients in unique flavor combinations. While the menu is changed seasonally, past examples include a deconstructed seafood pot pie, Yellowfin Tuna crusted with pumpkin seeds, and alligator hush puppies."

"A Tampa institution, Bern’s opened as a steak sandwich shop back in 1953. Today, the seemingly haunted mansion stands proud as a truly impressive family-owned establishment. Reservations are necessary but entirely worth it for a filet that comes with a loaded baked potato, seasonal salad, and organic sides (Bern’s even has its own farm where seasonal goodies are grown for the restaurant)."

"Bern's Steak House is one of Tampa's best-known restaurants. Family-owned since opening in 1956, this venerable steak house is legendary for its impeccable service, top-quality food, and incredible attention to detail. Guests rave about the aged, charcoal-grilled steaks, which are ordered according to weight and thickness."

"Perfect views with fresh seafood keep people coming back to Jackson’s. With more than 500 wines and an extensive seafood menu, this bistro bar is a local favorite for catching sunsets at the outdoor patio or enjoying a sunny brunch."

"The restaurant has two stories with two full bars and seating. The owners call themselves ‘shamelessly unapologetic flavor crusaders’ with Datz as their playground and proudly state that ‘ordinary belongs in a dictionary, not in a restaurant.’ Snack on some Sriracha popcorn while you wait for mac and cheese stuffed meatloaf and flights of bacon."

"With its fantastic menu and Americana-inspired setting, Datz is a great place for kids and adults. Let your little ones loose on a plate of chicken and waffles or a Chicago hot dog while you indulge in poke tacos or a rich short rib and grits bowl. The menu also features salads, sandwiches, and burgers, each with a funky twist."

"The Pier 60 Marina Hotel has a great smaller homely hotel feel rather than a huge resort feel. It’s right on the beach, welcoming you with an included breakfast, and from there, you’re welcome to explore the restaurants, the pool (with a kiddie pool included) and the Pier 60 venue offering entertainment, which is right by the hotel. Several room options are available, some with a balcony and view, and some not."

"First Chance Last Chance is another popular intimate local bar in Ybor City. We loved having cocktails at the private open-air courtyard and outdoor bar area. The mixologists of First Chance are famous for their concoctions, which is part of the bar's attraction."

"But maybe a lively club isn’t your style, sometimes you just want to hang out without the hectic atmosphere!. If so, you need to add First Chance Last Chance to your list. This is a laid back bar with an intimate interior and a great outdoor courtyard."
