Dine and Drink Through Tampa Bay

Tampa has an eclectic dining scene, offering something that even the pickiest eaters can find and enjoy. From fine dining and Michelin Star restaurants to ice cream shops to rooftop bars and everything in-between, you’ll need more than just a few days to eat your way through this impressive food scene.

The popular Channelside District is everchanging, home to the Amalie Arena of the Tamp Bay Lightning and several waterfront restaurants. This pedestrian-friendly area is perfect for strolling with a cocktail and dining outdoors.

For a fine dining experience with award-winning chefs, book a reservation at one of three Michelin-star restaurants – Ichicoro, Rocca, and Rooster and the Till, each serving up up its own unique menu of big flavors and fresh ingredients.

While it may be surprising, Tampa is also emerging as one of the top craft beer scenes in the country. There are dozens of unique breweries to visit. For a fun scavenger-like experience, download the free Bay Crafted Pass mobile app to open an exclusive passport of 21 curated breweries and distilleries. Check-in at four, eight, and twelve locations to unlock prizes that can be redeemed at the Tampa Bay Visitors Center!

Perhaps the best way to take in the views that Tampa has to offer is via rooftop bar or restaurant. Enjoy a glass of wine and a romantic meal, experiencing the gentle breeze off the water while you watch the sun set over beautiful Tampa Bay. While you really can’t escape gorgeous views no matter where you are in Tampa, you certainly can’t get enough of them either.
