Lovely Dinner with Family
Ybor City, once the cigar capital of the world, is a vibrant neighborhood in Tampa that boasts an exciting nightlife and delicious food. You can explore the historic district on a walking tour to learn more about the architecture and immigrant history, or indulge in a food tour that takes you to Latin and soul food restaurants. As the sun sets, the area transforms into a lively entertainment district where you can do a pub crawl, dance the night away, or catch some live music. To get there, you can hop on a free streetcar from downtown. There's also a weekly local flea market. – Tripadvisor

Enjoyed visiting the Ybor City district of Tampa on a couple of evenings.
We visited historic Ybor City in Tampa on two separate evenings to dine at one of the many great restaurants that can be found there. We enjoyed walking the streets that were lively and fun with music in bars, neon lights, cool cars, great old buildings and great people to watch. There are cigar shops a plenty where you can sit out front and enjoy cigars in the area that is historically the cigar capital of Florida. Definitely the place to go if you want some fun and action.

unique area that focuses on bars, restaurants, cigars close to cruise terminal and Amalie arena
Ybor (pronounced e bore) is an area that was the center of Tampa with Cuban immigrants making hand rolled Cigars. Now the area is a hub of night life for young people after 10pm but is experiencing a shift into a residential area teeming with nice restaurants to attract all ages. Hotel Haya is a fantastic new hotel on the North end of 7th ave ( the main street in ybor). Great restaurant named Flor Fina and a nice bar with live music and a Cuban vibe. Barter house is a very good restaurant across street from Hotel Haya. Santo Stefano is a great new restaurant on the South end of 7th that is a 100% authentic Sicilian restaurant . Great rooftop bar, valet and self parking available. Reservations needed. There is the old guard restaurants The Columbia (since 1905), Carmines, Gaspars Grotto ( good bar, outside patio , live music and dogs welcome) and many other coffee shops, greek restaurants, bars, tattoo parlors something for most everyone. 15-20 minutes from airport. 5 minutes from cruise terminal, 5 minutes to Sparkmans wharf, Amalie arena, Marriott waterside.
