Edge Social Drinkery
Bar, Pub Grub
Edge Social Drinkery has the best cocktail selection of any bar in SoHo, offering a rooftop patio for guests to check out the warm Tampa nights or skyline. While part of the Epicurean Hotel, it’s open to the public, with both hotel guests and people walking in from the street welcome at the fourth story open-concept bar. With a modern vibe, it’s hard to remember that it’s a hotel-bar. You’ll want to get here before it gets busy: you’ll have a hard time finding a good spot to look at the Tampa night scenery when the crowds discover the rooftop.
The Anchor Bar is a good choice for a break anytime of the day: either an early afternoon out of the sun, or a late night hang-out spot. It’s a small, quaint little bar that’s easily missed if you aren’t paying close enough attention. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about attractions in the area, and with different drink specials every night you’ll soon consider The Anchor to be your home-away-from-home.
The Hub Bar

The Hub Bar has a working jukebox available for patrons to use. One of the oldest establishments in the entire city, The Hub Bar was built in the 1940’s and pictures of it back in the day are displayed on the walls. Originally a piano bar, it now serves as a late night hot spot for live music. They only serve top-shelf alcohol and refuse to serve bottom tier liquors.
