I HAVE TO SAY I WENT WITH A DATE, SKIPPED THE VELVET ROPE, BECAUSE HE WAS KNOWN THERE. I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW I WOULD FEEL HAVING TO WAIT TO BE PICKED, ETC. I CAN NOT GET OVER THE ATMOSPHERE, I FELT I WAS IN MIAMI. BEAUTIFUL! FOUND GREAT PEOPLE TO CHAT WITH AND THE MUSIC WAS GOOD. CANT WAIT TO GO BACK!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/27/07
Red Velvet Ropes?, deciding who can get in and who cant?, where are we Miami or LA?? This is Tampa folks, ive been going here for quite some time, but no longer, the attitude, pretensousness, crappy management(Mario), it all just stinks.

Simply the best!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/04/07
Being a Hyde Park Cafe regular (I go there almost every week), I can definitely say that I absolutely love this trendy South Tampa club! The crowd is stylish, sophisticated, and classy... everything you would expect it to be. It's where Tampa's beautiful people can be found! Well, if you're on the regular line, it might take you hours ...
Being a local DJ for some 15 years off and on, and having access to some of the best clubs in Tampa for as long, I have found HPC short in some key areas. After this evening, I would say it would take a miracle to go back.
The club is overfilled, and elitest in principle. This particular evening was horrible (specifically due to the staff) and ...

so so

Agree I have lived in other cities much larger than Tampa but this is the biggest dog and pony show Ive ever seen. There were so many “Joeys” from the North East there I thought it was a casting call for the sopranos or just a University of Tampa campus. In any event its cool before it gets to crowded. The pizzas are good but the VIP room is ...

Go Somewhere Else
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/25/06
After living in Cities like Denver, Chicago and L.A. I have to say that this club is far more pretentious than it has any business being. The bouncer outside simply said at the end of the night that he would not be letting us in as he did not "like us". Freaking come on, this is TAMPA get over yourselves.

Not Worth It
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/15/06
As you walk up to the short line around 11:15pm, you are relieved you got there early. Then you find out that there not letting anyone whose not "VIP" (female or extremelly wealthy) for awhile, till 12:45am or longer. Then they selectively "pick" certain people to get in. ( i think some people don't even get in). Then ...
