What to expect

Bayshore Boulevard
Bayshore Boulevard is a 4.5-mile picturesque waterfront road that offers a breathtaking panorama ride along the sparkling waters of Tampa Bay. The magnificent mansions and manicured gardens that proudly line the boulevard will leave you utterly awestruck. Relax in the cool breeze as you cruise along the palm-fringed boulevard and listen to the melody of crashing waves. We will also see the iconic Gasparilla Pirate Ship used for the yearly pirate invasion!

Tiny Tap Tavern
25 min
Converted from a gas station in 1951, Tiny Tap has been a cherished Tampa favorite for decades. This tried-and-true dive bar's friendly clientele and cheap prices make it a refreshing respite from its upscale SoHo surroundings. Friendly, fun-loving bartenders pop PBR cans (their specialty) as patrons of all stripes challenge one another to hardcore pool competitions while belting out jukebox classics. The staff refers to the bar as "Tiny Trap" in honor of the many loyal regulars, but even for newbies, Tiny Tap delivers big-time. You might enter as a stranger, but you will leave as a new friend. This is a beer and cash only establishment.

The Retreat Tampa
25 min
The Retreat Tampa is the city's oldest continuous operating dive bar. Serving cocktails, craft beers and specialty drinks since 1938.
-
The Hub Bar
25 min
Open since 1946, the Hub has outlasted much that has come and gone in Downtown Tampa. Known for their famous "hub pour", the Hub never uses bottom shelf liquors and, when they do pour em, you can bet they're strong.
-
Tampa Postcard Mural
5 min
Take advantage of a chance at the best photo in Tampa! The vibrantly colorful Tampa postcard mural is a beautiful outdoor mural in Downtown Tampa's heart.

Ybor City National Historic District
5 min
Ybor City is a historic neighborhood that is the pulsating heart of Tampa. An intoxicating time capsule where history, culture, and vibrant energy collide in an explosion of sights, sounds, and flavors! Wander through the cobblestone streets where vivid murals adorn the walls, and the air is perfumed with the aromas of Cuban cigars and delectable cuisine. The streets are immersed in live music, spirited festivals, and bustling nightlife that beckons with an irresistible blend of rhythm, charm, and a dash of captivating mystery and culture.
-
Reservoir Bar
25 min
Tampa's Reservoir Bar located in historic Ybor City bills itself as the finest hole in the wall in town. Open to all, this fine dive bar serves both gay and straight clientele who are looking to do some serious drinking. The bar features a wide variety of specialty beer and some sinister concoctions brewed up by the friendly bartenders. Sit at the bar or strut your stuff playing bar games including darts, pool, and a few other drinking games.
-
The Dirty Shame
25 min
While many bars of a similar ilk seem cramped, smoky and claustrophobic, The Dirty Shame is large, roomy and contains reasonably breathable air, the result of high ceilings and ventilation from the open front door. The walls are all brick, giving it a classic, sturdy look. The Dirty Shame has a diverse selection, including 19 beers on draft, nearly 40 more in bottles, a few house wines and an extensive spirit selection, including many small-batch Bourbons and single-malt Scotches.
