Riverwalk bar crawl Downtown Tampa One of Tampa’s biggest tourist traps is without a doubt the downtown Riverwalk. But did you know the Riverwalk is a certified “wet zone,” and anyone over the age of 21 can grab a Riverwalk speciality to-go cup from any of the bars ands restaurants along this massive waterfront path? It’s true. Pro tip: Start at Armature Works and try your best to end your boozy journey at Sparkman Wharf. Photo via Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel Credit: Courtesy of Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel

According to Facebook, 3,100 people are “interested” in attending what could be the first Tampa Riverwalk bar crawl. The pub hop — hosted by a Tampa resident and scheduled for 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12 — will hit six watering holes by following the 2.5-mile trail that connects Ulele and the Tampa Bay History Center.

You game?

Here’s a list of the stops, from start to finish: Armature Works, Four Green Fields, Remedy, pool bar at Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk Hotel, The Sail Pavilion and Sparkman Wharf.

Sippers are gonna need their walking shoes — and an official Riverwalk cup to enjoy their drinks while strolling from one bar to the next.
