Things to do in Tampa

Visiting and would like to hear some suggestions where to go and what's worth checking out. Feel free to give some tips and hints. Coffee houses, bars/clubs, beaches are all good

Bunch of bars including Bar Louie and Blue Martini at the International Plaza which is a pretty nice mall near the airport. Just down the street from there is the Westshore Mall that has a movie theatre and more restaurants. Go to Ybor City and check out the Columbia Restaurant is pretty good and unique. Look up Soho which is a strip of bars and restaurants on South Howard in Tampa. Its actually got alot of cool places they are packed on Friday because at 6pm at McDintons they do happy hours (10 all you can drink) until like 9 I think and then after that another happy hour starts just a small walk away at Hyde Park Cafe.

Clearwater has an awesome bar set up at Shepards which is on the beach. Look up Caddys also they have a good set up in front of the beach in Clearwater. Clearwater beach itself is also always packed so check it out. Datz Deli on South MacDill (which is right by SoHo...infact you can walk) has awesome food.

Thanks for the tips, chillin @ bro's place so don't always have a car but checked out S.petes beach which was sweet and couple local bars that weren't bad. I'm in channel side so the little strip of stores/ theatre's/ restaurant's are pretty nice, coffee houses aren't bad either like Eleventwenty cafe bistro.

Yea no kidding, everything & everyone seems more chill here in Tampa/St.Pete

I'm from Seattle and it's a very fast pace culture and society. I'm actually considering moving here now that my bro caught a gig here, hopefully I can catch something here too.
