Last March, popular Tampa cocktail staple Fly Bar closed its doors, but a new concept is about to debut in its former downtown location.
Yesterday, the owners of Izakaya Tori took to social media to announce that a new Japanese-style pub called Tori Bar (one of three Tampa Bay spots on Yelp's "100 Best Places To Eat in 2023" list) will inhabit the Fly Bar space, located at 442 W Kennedy Blvd.
Billed as a "late-night" Japanese tapas spot, Tori Bar will focus on Japanese whisky, high balls, craft cocktails, grill skewers, sashimi and hand rolls, according to the post.
As of now there's no exact opening date for Tori Bar, but in the meantime, guests can head over to Izakaya Tori, located at 310 S Dale Mabry Hwy no. 160, for a sushi and Japanese tapas fix.
