This is an old street car barn turned multi-use space full of small pop-up restaurants and shops! It's a super fun place to grab a bite to eat or have a drink. Our favorite restaurants here are hemmingways cuban kitchen, BNB BBQ, Bake N Babes, and Muchachas. For parking at armature works there are two large lots that are pay to park for about $10, there is also free street parking on a first come first serve basis.
This place has a great outdoor atmosphere and is right by the water! There is also a great bar and a great line up of rotating pop-up restaurants. Our recommendation for here is definitely Jenni's ice cream! To park for sparkman wharf we recommend parking in the Florida aquarium parking lot and taking a short walk over to sparkman (it's less than a 5min walk).
This a really nice shopping and dining area closer to downtown tampa. The shops and restaurants here can be a bit pricey so if you're trying to stay to a budget I would recommend elsewhere. Parking here can also be tricky around peak meal times so we would recommend going during off hours!
Ybor city is a great cultural center in Tampa. There is a lot of history rooted in this part of town and tons of great food options as well! The original Colombia restaurant is located here and is one of our favorites. This part of town can get a bit crazy when the sun goes down so we recommend avoiding it during the evenings.
A great indoor activity option!
We love to go to hockey games here when we can. If you're in town during a lightning home game we 100% recommend catching a game if you have the time! Go bolts!
Amazing food every time. Never disappoints! We recommend either an early walk-in or reservation here :)
Get the mixed charcuterie board! So delicious!
If you're looking for something unique this place has the most delicious russian food! This is also a perfect spot for lunch!
A classic german beer hall with amazing food. This place does not take reservations but they will serve you beer while you wait for your table!
Easily one of the most iconic restaurants in Tampa. The most amazing spanish food and drinks! A favorite of ours is the mojito! We definitely recommended reservations for here, especially if you want to catch the dinner-time flamenco show! P.s. the bread served with every meal comes from La Segunda bakery which is an excellent breakfast/brunch spot!
Amazing amazing cuban-inspired food and flan. Definitely try the "Timba" if you visit!
