There are some extremely popular bars around the city that are known for having a good time. Coyote Ugly (www.coyoteuglysaloon.com/tampa) is a very popular chain of bars with 12 locations nationally and even 6 international locations. If you want to put on some cowboy boots and watch some beautiful ladies dance on the bar while they pour some spirits down your mouth, this is the place for you. Another very popular local place is Green Iguana (www.greeniguana.com) which has 6 locations locally, with one of them being in Ybor. Green Iguana, or G.I. as the locals call it, is a good place to get a good bite of food, enjoy your favorite sports teams, or catch some live music on their stage. Green Iguana is a very popular place around Tampa and all the locals will have a favorite location, but Ybor City’s is very nice. If you are looking for an upscale place to get a delicious microbrew, Tampa Bay Brewing Company (www.tampabaybrewingcompany.com) is the place for you. Tampa Bay Brewing Company has been in business since 1996 and is a really wonderfully place to enjoy your favorite brew or ask the extremely knowledgeable staff about finding a new favorite beer. Another extremely great place to have a beer in an awesome atmosphere is New World Brewery (newworldbrewery.net). While the name of New World Brewery is deceiving in that they no longer brew their own beer, to say their beer selection is extensive would be an understatement. Another local favorite that travelers may not frequent but is definitely a place that you should not miss is Gaspar’s Grotto (www.gasparsgrotto.com) which is a pirate themed bar and restaurant. Gaspar’s Grotto has a wide selection of beer, wine, and liquor, and also market fresh seafood or delicious Cuban sandwiches if you are looking for something to soak up the alcohol.
