Bars work in Tampa
Tampa drinks late and drinks outside. The Riverwalk, Ybor City and the blocks around Hyde Park keep a steady stream of people looking for somewhere to sit, and the searches follow the weather, the game and the weekend. The trade here runs from owner operators with one room to small groups with three or four, and the paid search around the busiest terms is contested by the bigger rooms and the chains. The demand is there every week of the year, spread across neighbourhood bars, cocktail rooms, sports bars and the places that lean on live music.
