re: An idiot's guide to Tampa for traveling Tigers...

Besides my own bar in St Pete, if I were staying in Tampa, I would go to one of three areas: South Howard Ave...hang out at World of Beers and maybe the Dubliner, all the other bars are loaded with 21-30 year olds (if that is your age group, go there); Downtown/Channelside: LSU hotel has a good bar/restaurant called Jackson's (on the water and should be plenty of LSU players hanging out), Hooter's in Channelside, Tap's and Hattrick's downtown; the last area is Ybor City which looks alot like the French Quarter and has many decent bars for various types (gender prefences) and age groups (best is "Tampa Bay Brewing Comapany" for good food and Brewry beer.) Other good places in South Tampa to go are "Datz" on MacDill (for good food and craft beer), "Outpost" on Kennedy (for decent bar food and craft beer), Brickhouse on Dale Mabry to watch the Saints game on Sunday (decent food and craft beer, close to the stadium), new sorts bar on Kennedy called Ducky's (owned by Evan Longoria of Tampa Bay Rays baseball fame and great looking clientale)
