Where do young professionals hang out in Tampa Bay?
I’m relocating from upstate NY to St. Petersburg, FL. My hubby and I are young professionals. We prefer nice, locally owned bars and restaurants. More into the lounge scene than the club scene — enjoy art exhibitions, comedy shows and culture. Where can we find that vibe in Tampa Bay?
Welcome to Tampa Bay. There are a number of comedy shows in Tampa. There are a lot of theaters all over the area. You might want to become a patron of the Mahaffrey theater in St. Pete or the Palladium and get invited to events. The Museum of Fine Art also hosts events for its members. The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center in Tampa has broadway plays plus smaller productions of other plays. Ybor City is the club scene, there are some nice local bars in St. Pete, but I don’t know what part of St. Pete you are moving to. The area downtown near USF St. Pete is a nice yuppie area with cafes, little shops, etc. You can also go down to Sarasota for events at the Ringling Museum.
