Midtown Tampa Rooftop bar Sal Y Mar is officially open and ready to party for the Super Bowl. Located on top of the dual-branded Aloft and Element Hotel in Midtown Tampa, the Tulum-inspired spot is hosting a big game watch party starting early, at 3 p.m. Sunday, with beer buckets specials and food for purchase.

The tapas heavy menu includes cajun shrimp corn fritters, chipotle-charred chicken, and, most importantly, a mason jar cheesecake.

The upscale space has inside and outside seating and 360-views of Tampa Bay. Its hours are 4 p.m.-midnight Sun.-Thurs., 4 p.m.- a.m. Friday and Saturday. Seating is first come, first served—so no reservations, people.

Also coming to Midtown Tampa: Shake Shack, Bella Brava and a REI retail store.
