Why You Should Check Out the W XYZ® Bar at the Aloft Tampa Downtown Dec 8th

Times are changing at Aloft Tampa Downtown as they usher in cooler days and nights and a host of hot parties and events! Located on the waterfront in Downtown Tampa, the  W XYZ Bar is the hip place to sip signature cocktails and craft beers, while enjoying live music and delicious light bites from the bar. Revel and Rejoice by booking your Holiday party with Aloft and the W XYZ® bar or take in one of their nightly Happy Hours. Aloft also offers Hospitality Night every night, Aloft Live, where they feature live, local acoustic musicians performing indie-rock faves and popular DJ's spinning latest hits.  My fave nights at Aloft Tampa, however, are their Art Nights! You meet interesting people at Aloft every time you go! But the best news I saved for last. Did you watch America's Got Talent last year?  Well, one of my favorite performers is coming to Aloft to raise money for Kidz1stFund on Dec 8th!

With affordable cocktails and stunning views of the Riverwalk and Downtown Tampa, the W XYZ® bar is a splendid spot to gather with friends to toast to our fab Tampa lifestyles! Benton Blount and Aloft are coming together to benefit Kidz1st Fund,  an organization supporting boys and girls afflicted by a rare disease known as Fanconi Anemia. Kidz1stFund was established in 2011 by FSU Head Football Coach Jimbo Fisher and his wife Candi after their younger son Ethan was diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia. This event is open to the public and free to enter, however, there is a suggested $5 donation at the door.  And, obviously, since this is for charity, anything ABOVE $5 will be greatly appreciated. #GivingFeelsGood Benton Blount, a beloved singer-songwriter from Greenville, SC is excitedly working on his first single with Pacific Records as he heads to Tampa for the Dec 8th event!  Known for his strong vocals, you might remember Benton as a top 10 finalist on America’s Got Talent in 2015. Since finding fame on the show Benton has been touring the country and played more than 150 shows. Benton has performed with the Zac Brown Band and the iconic Dolly Parton, he is something to see Tampa!  Don't miss this!  With millions of YouTube views, numerous endorsements, and an impressive social media following, how fortunate are we to see Benton LIVE right here in Tampa while raising money for a great cause.

More about W XYZ Bar

The W XYZ Bar  is the spot to see and be seen in Downtown Tampa and Dec. 8th is THE day to go! When Happy Hour calls, watch the sunset on the outside deck or cozy up to the fire pit and say good-bye to the workday with discounted cocktails, beer, and wine and with locally inspired appetizers from 4-7pm.

If you enjoy Tampa's live music scene as much as I do, you won't want to miss Aloft Live, every Friday night from 5-11pm.  Grab a craft cocktail and celebrate the arrival of the weekend with tunes from some of Tampa's hottest musicians. Stay tuned for their Art Nights where you can enjoy great sounds, incredible art from local artists and of course, drink specials.
