Looking for decent bars and clubs to go to within 20 mile radius of davenport ,Florida . Been to blue martini

7 avenue in ybor city.

Park just north of the strip, on the north side of the old church and just south of i-4. the street there is made of red bricks. parking costs nothing. if you don't see a spot, wait for one. that's the cheapest, safest, closest place to put your car in a 50 mile radius of the strip. walk south from there, past hcc. if you turn right on 8th, you will be in centro ybor - the safest and least violent/dirty/dangerous/sexual part of Tampa's club scene. coffee, ice cream, burgers and pitas are available on the 1st floor. expensive bars and overpriced sushi are on the 2nd. the 3rd floor is rooftops, and the only thing up there is batman and darkness.

if you are white, go to "the castle". it's like a real life version of that place morpheus was introduced to neo for the first time in the matrix 1. it's goth and emo and leather and velvet and kinky. there is nothing wrong with non-whites going there: it's just that white people seem to go crazy for that atmosphere much more so than anyone else. two people were violently ****ing on a velvet couch at the edge of the 2nd story dance floor last time I was there. The bartenders are sexually ambiguous. Gay mixes with straight mixes with kinky mixes with Hannibal Lecter. It's a religious experience for anyone going for the first time.

if you prefer the club scene without the taint of goth culture, walk up and down 7th avenue. Stay within .5 miles west and 1 mile east of Centro. The projects are 1 mile west. The worst violence, poverty and desperation in south Florida are 2 miles East. If you explore either of those areas, you need to be poor, crazy or ready to die. I was lucky enough to be crazy. Thugs can smell crazy a mile away. We never have money and are always violent. If you don't meet that criteria, don't go to those areas.

ybor is sexual and fun and violent and dangerous and amazing and multicultural and historic and poor and rich. It's where homeless people walk the streets with Tampa's elite, billionaire middle-eastern tourists, Northern politicians and the freakiest of all the freaks in the US of A.

Experiencing Ybor is the black belt of clubbing in this country. If you're not comfortable walking the strip alone at 2am, you will die a virgin to true nightlife and the club scene on this continent.

Msg me if you want a guide. I'm poor in money but rich in experience with that area. Guides will tour you through ybor during the day, but I'm one of the only people willing and able to show you what Ybor is at night. Mardi Gras is Disney compared to Ybor.
