I rarely can't find anything I like about a place, especially one with historic significance, but Ybor City has very little to recommend it. I would have liked to see the museum - no time. Went to the Columbia Restaurant, historucally significant. Otherwise, the city needs to get involved, as one reviewer said, and fix the place up. Not Disneyfy... more

The best times to go are Gasparilla Parade (Tampa's version of Mardi Gras) and Guavaween (Halloween weekend). I lived in Tampa for 2 years while attending USF. There are many clubs, my favorite is Prana. It has 5 floors, with different music on each level. In the summertime, there will also be a band on the roof. This is a... more

I am not a partier and visited Ybor City during the day. I am originally from Miami and have partied enough on South Beach to get it out of my system! LOL I am of Cuban descent and visited the museum, which I enjoyed. The musuem was charming and had interesting exhibits. I enjoyed the window to the past with... more

Ybor city is a strip of approximately 1 mile with over a hundred bars. It sounded great for a bachelor's party, but boy were we wrong. The six of us stayed at the Hampton Inn. The hotel was clean and in a perfect location to walk up and down Ybor City. The problem is that Ybor City is surrounded by... more

Ybor is the worst place ever!!! It's very dirty and trashy!! Nothing but people fighting! I even saw 2 guys beat up on 2 girls (which got broken up with in seconds). I would never go back there more

II visited Ybor City yesterday. It seems to me like you would want to go there in the evening as there is a number of clubs there. I visited with my father-in-law, husband, and 10 month old son. Not really a place for kids. The museum was really interesting. The place was really quiet as it was noon. It is... more

Not quite what we expected. Very little to do during the day besides eating and the movie theater. I hear the night life is good if you travel in large groups...The trolley system operates to Ybor from downtown and you can get there for 2 dollars one way. A cab may be more convenient if time is an issue. more

I came across this site while planning some vacations for me and my wife and found other peoples reviews interesting and helpful. Therefore, I thought I would give my two cents on some places I have been. Sometimes it is hard to tell which kind of people write which reviews so here goes. I have lived in Tampa for about... more

As a resident of Naples Florida, Ybor is the best place to have fun in the state. I go there every time I am in Tampa, which is quite often. I have been to South Beach, Ft.Lauderdale, Orlando, Daytona,Key West etc. and Ybor is the best party around. Ybor has everthing you are looking for in a club or bar,... more
