 Centro Ybor by tafurojo
There are different dress codes for each spot in Ybor City... most places are very casual ... but a few up-scale clubs require white shoes and no jeans. You will occasionally also come acrossed clubs that don't allow hats or require that you wear your hat straight forward. You may want to check ahead before going out that night. Leave a Comment

 Yes, there is a Starbucks

Ybor City has changed a lot over the years. Back in my grandmother's day, it was a pretty booming neighborhood, then it became somewhat of a ghost town, then artists and other cultural types did all the hard work to revive it, then they were bought out by bars and nudie places. Now it's kind of on the mend again - with a good mix of drinking, venues, and culture. The city has put some pretty rediculous mickey-mouse-esque efforts at "reviving" the historial past of Ybor (Tampa's Historical Latin Quater, according to the Ybor City Chamber of Commerce), such as Centro Ybor - trendy shops and a themed movie theatre located off of 8th Avenue. The real past still peaks through, though, and it's definitely worth a stop-by.

It really depends on where you are going in Ybor, but most places are come as you are. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Take I-4 to the 22nd Street exit. Most of the bars and whatnot are off of 7th Avenue.

Ybor city is home of most all of the clubs in Tampa. You can find a club to suit virtually every mood. Ranging from Techno to Goth to Disco to Blues. Centro Ybor just opened about a year ago smack in the center of everything. There's a huge movie theatre, shops, restaraunts, GameWorks (A very cool game room) and The Improv comedy theatre.
Pretty much anything goes in Ybor. Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicDirections: Located off I4 and 22nd St

Dress Smartly--and definitely show a little skin, girls. Girls tend to dress up a bit more than guys here--short skirts, flashy tops, trendy dresses--you get the picture. Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubOther Contact: Ya gotta love tecquilla...though

 It's not usually this
crowded in daylight by ZenGator
A couple of exceptions are Masquarade (an interesting dance club built into an old theater) and The Castle (a semi-Goth club in the old Labor Temple). I haven't been inside these places in a couple of years, so they may not be as "alternative" as they used to be.
But Ybor may be changing for the better. The crowds are thinning and some club owners are finding that it takes more than a gutted old building, a lot of beer, and a loud sound system to attract customers. With promised help from our new mayor and a little imagination, Ybor City might become revelent again. I can only hope...
Dumpy to trashy to dressy, depending on the weather, your mood, and your state of inebriation. Leave a Comment Theme: Adult SpotDirections: Right off I-4 east of downtown. You can't miss it.

Tampa has their own version of Bourbon Street, only it is cleaner and they have added a lot of new attractions. It is called Ybor City and just a mile or two from downtown Tampa. Most of the nightlife exists here.
With the new Centro Ybor, then Ybor Square and 7th Ave. this area is becoming a really hip place to be. It is much better than Old Town Orlando if you ask me - and larger. Lots of art galeries and retro areas. Also, cafes, bars, restuarants, dance clubs, Improv club, etc.
Casual Leave a Comment Theme: TheaterDirections: Easy to get to from downtown or off of I-4.
