There’s nothing like going to a bar and having a beautiful cocktail with an unforgettable view in the background. When M. Bird opened up at Armature Works last week, it reminded me that many people go out looking for that experience. It’s more than just going to the nearest dive bar and downing $1 beers or $3 wells- it’s about the atmosphere, aesthetics, and delicious cocktails you're served.
Tampa is filled to the brim with bars that serve cheaper-than-your-average drinks, but where can I go to find cute craft cocktails and a great atmosphere?
Head to any of these craft cocktail bars in Tampa for cute cocktails and unforgettable experiences during another Friday night out with your friends!
