They set up a tent during big games and concerts to have extra room for the party and sometimes feature live music. The Luxury Box is building up to be one of Tampa's premier Sports Bars.

Pros: Located across the street from St Pete Times Forum, so this is a great bar to pre-game or celebrate after the Lightning games or concerts. They have fresh sushi rolled at the sushi bar.

Cons: Can be loud if there is a game or concert going on and you have to pay for parking.

I love their philly cheese steak. It was fresh and delicious. Service was quick.

Pros: Great food at a good price.

Cons: Can be busy during game days.

Pros: Pretty much the most convenient place to drink/dine before a game or concert. Great, classic food. I imagine the outdoor deck would be pretty fun before or after a Forum event too.

Cons: Parking. What else is new in Downtown Tampa?

This is the place to be before and after games, concerts, and whatever happens at the St Pete Times Forum. They also have things going on when there is nothing at the Forum like DJs, live music, and more.

Pros: Great food with choice of sushi or burgers and sandwiches, location is prime, and the outdoor patio is great.

Cons: Very little parking and during an event like a concert or hockey game you have to pay to park.
