Castle Ybor

Ybor City · Tampa

Also listed in: Tampa Bars Tampa Nightlife

The Castle opened on Guavaween in 1992 as a small saloon and grew into the goth and alternative dance club Tampa sends people to, spread across five named spaces: the Saloon, the Main Hall, the Tower, the Courtyard and the Dungeon. A jukebox supplied the music for the first few years before DJs took over. The bar keeps a deep list of single malt scotches, small batch bourbons, aged tequilas and imported beer. The entrance is on 16th Street between 9th Avenue and Palm Avenue.
