Splitsville

I love Splitsville! Now that Sparkman Wharf has opened they have stepped up their game to compete with their new neighbors and they are killing it!

Pros: Super fun place to go with friends!

Cons: Parking can be hard to find but it's worth the search!

I would recommend trying their pizza. People rave about their sushi but personally I think its good but not amazing. I guess try it out for yourself. Splitsville is a lot of fun though and I would recommend trying it out if you have never been there.

Pros: Splitsville has a lot to entertain you. Enjoy bowling, play some pool, drink from a fish bowl. Combine it all with great pizza and sushi and you have a great place for a Friday or Saturday night.

Cons: You can easily spend a lot of money in one night.

I really enjoy Splitsville, we have made our New Years reservations there a couple times. Great deal and you get your own lane and get to see the fireworks at midnight. They book up fast though. Overall this place has everything for your Friday/Saturday night-dance floor, DJ, pool tables, bowling, food and drinks. It is tough to get a bowling lane though so plan on waiting for awhile. The service has always been great, food is fine. For a place that tries to have everything, they do pretty well. We normally only eat there if we are super hungry as it is convenient. Food is not great but not good.

Pros: Dance floor, service, bowling, pool tables

Cons: Waiting for a bowling lane

Splitsville is a popular party place in Channelside and also a great place to spend some time bowling with family and friends. The food is pretty decent and we enjoy some of their sliders and occasionally some of their sushi as well. It's more on the expensive side - so if you're looking to bowl on the cheap this may not be the best location for you. As for the nightclub, it's fun to bowl after dark with friends and then hit the dance floor. The crowd is late 20s and 30 somethings, which isn't really my style, but still makes for a fun time occasionally. They have giant drink pitchers, which are fun to share with some friends. Parking is accessible thanks to the Channelside parking garage. Overall, a pretty solid place and an important part of the Channelside complex.

Pros: Modern bowling, good food and drinks, decent nightclub

Cons: Can be rather expensive

The food is great, steak sliders are delicious and the chive sauce for the fries is to die for. Fun atmosphere, whether you're just eating or bowling too. It can get loud, but you can request tables away from the lanes.

Pros: Good food Bowling

Cons: Expensive

A good time was had by all! A few drinks (get a fishbowl, you won't need a second), a couple rounds on the lanes and we were out. Starts to get really crowded, but still fun late at night. Just don't try to have long conversations.

Pros: Try the fishbowls and split with your friends! I love this place because you can bowl while you hang out and drink with your friends.

Cons: There can be long waits to bowl so don't go with expectations of absolutely being able to play.

If you are looking for a comfortable and fun night out, GO ELSEWHERE. The Managers are the worst in Tampa when you have a problem and the whole "We don't need your business" attitude they portray is rather absurd, especially when the place is always so empty.

Pros: Good choice of entertainment.

Cons: The place seemed very dirty, especially the outside area. The staff behind the bars are great, but the rest of them were terrible. While we were waiting in line to reserve a lane, there were 3 other employees behind the counter just looking at us or reading a magazine. If you are on a break, don't stand in front of the customers!! The Managers are terrible so chances are they don't care about the image.

When you have 200-300 patrons still partying and buying drinks on a Sunday night at 1am, do NOT kick them and their business out. This happened on a Sunday night when I went there about 2 weeks ago.

Pros: This place provides a great environment to relax and let loose all at the same time. The crowd is pretty decent. The place itself is beautiful and well-kept.

Cons: I hope you're made out of money, or else you are going to hate yourself the next day when you check your bank account. I went there on a Thursday night and they had absolutely NO drink specials. 9 bucks for a Yager bomb!!!!! Get a grip...

Pros: Has a little bit of everything. Pool tables, bowling allies, dance floor and several bars.
