Just because a bar isn't always jam packed, doesn't mean it isn't loved. Here you'll find some of Tampa Bay's essential dive bars, classic holes-in-the-wall spots, hidden sports bars, and even watering holes inside of grocery stores.
107 S Franklin St, Tampa The self-appointed, “best sports bar in Tampa,” runs happy hour everyday from 4 to 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. to close. Their menu features wing specials, and other pub-style fare to get you through the game.
1609 W Snow Ave, Tampa This bistro and wine bar in Hyde Park Village gives guests a taste of wine from around the world, or allows them to sip martinis from the fully-stocked bar. Their fanciful-fare can be eaten inside or on the patio.
2105 W Morrison Ave, Tampa Originally a gas station in the 30s and 40s, Tiny Tap became a tavern in 1951. The dive bar has served as the local hotspot for beer, wine and pool for nearly 70 years.
