It's party time in Tampa! Our pride and joy, your Tampa Bay Lightning, are charging into the playoffs and set to make history (and hopefully make it so last night is just a footnote in history). Grab your crew and make some plans to #BeTheThunder, as there's no better place to be than downtown during #CupSZN.
We've got a hot list of things to do that will have your weekend buzzing! Make it Tampa-centric this weekend and head to one of Tampa's favorite hang out spots, Pete's Place North, for some of the best drink specials and good vibes around. Happy Hour until 8 p.m.? Yes, please.
If you're really trying to make a memorable weekend, maybe the other Pete's Place for a karaoke fundraiser for autism! Same great drink specials and entertainment, all for a great cause. Whatever your weekend flavor might be, there's something going on for every taste! Go Bolts!
