I came to florida and had high hopes for fun. Ybor city nothing opens up until 11 or so, and if you are trying to get out of YBor you cant the historic trolley to take you anywhere doesnt start until 11. Not a day excursion and not a place to say if you dont have transportation.
back after four years gone. Sorry to see that so many shops have closed and there is nothing happening any more down there. Was disappointed in some of the shops and the eating. Since this is one of the historic areas in Tampa. Will continue to tell people to check it out. Hope that it improves soon.

It has a feel like your in the French Quarter in New Orleans,Absolutley great atmosphere! Full of young friendly people and cheap places to eat and hang out. The architecture is awesome and there is a lot of history there you can experience in the day and at night it is transformed into the place

I was disappointed in Ybor City based on what I heard about it. Club Parana and Tampa Bay Brewing Company were pretty cool but besides that I felt like I was in the ghetto. I would recommened Clearwater any day of the week over this

I went there for the Italian Festival, and it was amazing!!! The food was outstnding, and there were performers that flew in from Italy!! It was very inexpensive to get in, around $5 or so. Lots of activities for kids as well as adults.
Also be sure to visit Gameworks, a place where everyone can have a blast!!

YBOR!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/13/06
Ybor is my second home. It's family-friendly during the day and THE best clubs in Tampa at nighttime. Code is aweomse, Prana has variety... and there are always new places opneing up.
Absolutley great atmosphere! Full of young friendly people and cheap places to eat and hang out. The architecture is awesome and there is a lot of history there you can experience in the day and at night it is transformed into the place to be for the college kids of Uni of Tampa and USF.

The best restaurants in Tampa are all located right there on 7th Ave., The main street.
People were friendly to a fault and we recommend a visit any time, night or day. There is always ...
