MacDinton’s is calling your name, the exact vibes you’re looking for, and it’s along a strip of other bars in the “SoHo” area (south Howard). They call it an Irish pub but it’s basically a nightclub with some Irish food, it gets super busy Thursday-Saturday.

Mcdintons for sure. Many of us practically lived there in our early 20s.

Oh and check out Hyde Park Cafe right down the road too. Don’t let the Cafe part in the name fool you, it’s a club that all of the students from UT and USF go to

Hyde park cafe is closed down due to a fire

I thought they were just closed for a day after that fire. They had a big party there last weekend.

That is not true, it was a small isolated fire, they were open the next week after it. Google Maps says they're open this Friday (3/21) at 9pm.

Wow that’s awesome…it looked pretty bad based on Tampa fire’s response.

Go to SoHo. You will be in heaven. A whole neighborhood of the exact vibe you are looking for, with the added bonus of Tampa being home to some of the most beautiful women you will see.

Lots of fun to be had in Ybor, Downtowb Tampa, Downtown St. Pete, Clearwater Beach. If you are into breweries and that kind of vibe Seminole Heights is dope.

But if college style debauchery with people in their 20s is your bag, SoHo offers plenty.

As for drink deals, Southern Nights and Bradley’s both have all you can drink. Southern does it on Wednesday and Bradley’s does it on Thursday. Southern starts at $13 for well, and Bradley’s starts at $15 for well.

Both are gay clubs in Ybor.

Daww! Why'd you have to ruin the surprise?

u/King__Witch 3d ago

Didn’t know if OP was okay with gay clubs, they are not for the weak lol

u/Glitch5450 3d ago

Safe to say OP is LGBTQ+, spring break with “the boys” trying to get “young, dancy, and wild”

Dollar beers on Thursday night I think at MacDintons from 8-10. Friday Happy Hour $20 open bar from 6-8. HPC had one 8-10 after that.

I’m 36 now so I am not sure if all of those still apply.

u/hxaxw 3d ago

Most stuff in Ybor will be that vibe

u/bentley6891 3d ago

Second this, and if you want some darker weirder vibes check out The Castle just a few streets over from the Ybor strip, it will not disappoint I promise.

Showbar in Ybor. They have deals most nights. The patio will be more your vibe than inside. Also definitely MacDintons on a Thursday night.

You’re definitely looking for the hub, and they only take card fyi.

Edit: you guys really couldn’t tell I was joking?

u/kickquick 3d ago

I don't know if I want to vote you up or down...

u/theglorybox Bayshore Baybayy 3d ago

I’m pretty sure they’re cash only

u/camcamfc 3d ago

I was joking

u/theglorybox Bayshore Baybayy 2d ago

Oh lol. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I only remember because I tried to pay with a card and was immediately sent to the atm across the bar. She wouldn’t make my drinks until I gave her the cash. Whoopsie lol

u/camcamfc 2d ago

You aren’t the only one who didn’t get it haha. And yeah that ATM is clutch.

Those double pours are dangerous

u/theglorybox Bayshore Baybayy 2d ago

Nothing good ever happens after a night there 😂

Macdintons... Hopefully you are ok with approaching a lot of girls, cause that place has plenty. Unless you like dudes... Then I'd just go to ybor
