Guavaween is approaching, Tampa.  Yeah, yeah, maybe you still have a month and a half, but with a festival this size (we're talkin 40,000+ people here) you don't want to be scrambling at the last minute looking for the right places to go and things to do.  We've got your back though, so the preparation will come easy in these next few weeks.

While the Mama Guava Stumble Parade and all Guavaween 2011 has to offer are definitely worth the time, some of you guys, we know, are definitely going to want to party after it all winds down. Luckily Ybor City nightlife is no stranger to the early hours.  Here are a few places to get your party on before, during and after Guavaween 2011 in Ybor City.

Czar - Czar is going to be great for Guavaween because it's HUGE.  3 different rooms, different types of music, and a fun crowd; All you need right there.

The Castle - An Ybor nightlife institution and also pretty expansive like Czar, the Castle is the place to go with that wacky costume you've conjured up for Guavaween 2011.  The weirdness is welcome and also the desire to have a crazy, dance-fueled time.  Enjoy a live DJ, dancers and more.

Crowbar - Crowbar is the place to be if you're looking for more live music and great drinks outside of Guavaween 2011.  Just a short skip off 7th Avenue, Crowbar's inside and beautiful outdoor patio are perfect for catching some great live music in Ybor on Guavaween night.

Coyote Ugly - Whether you like it or not, you'll probably have a pretty crazy time at Coyote Ugly.  Just like the movie, the female bartender staff dance on the bar, with the customers, and generally foster an wildly awesome time.

Club Skye - For the premier nightclub experience, head to Club Skye.  Enjoy two levels, and three rooms of different music, a huge VIP balcony, private champagne rooms, a patio bar and more during and after the Guavaween 2011 festivities.
