Party with panache. Sing with bling! Don’t miss out parties and happy hours in Tampa like these.
Mangroves in Hyde Park is a perfect venue to celebrate milestones and birthdays. The upstairs lounge loft is top shelved with a fully-stocked bar, high-tech sound system and plenty of leather couches to soften up the moments. The DJ gets the smooth dance floor thumping with top 40 hits keeping the disco ball twirling all night long.
A classy evening exit is topped by descending Mangroves' grand staircase. Waiting at the bottom is a well dressed maître d, assisting the ladies’ for a graceful dismount. Confident knowing the evening hasn’t ended, tripping over one’s pair of femme fatale stilettos is priceless. Your evening ends being gently guided by the safety of strong hands and broad shoulders.
This mod-ish gem is ideal for private celebrations accommodating up to 82 of your closet friends. The best time to book is after 7 p.m. and before 10:30. Catered appetizers are succulent - nibble on the truffled macaroni & cheese lobster or devour short rib sliders. Later evening hours draw young blood of all ages to revel the night away. Be sure to stay for that too!
Wednesday Ladies Night Happy Hours at Blue Martini offer the best value for the money, honey. There's NO Cover charge, which is normally $10, 50% off ALL drinks, and sometimes they serve of complimentary sushi. Initially, Blue Martini doesn’t come across as a sports bar, but it is. The club rocked with support as Evan Longoria batted in the winning home run in the 12th this past Wednesday.
But ladies, don’t get your hopes up high about finding a sugar daddy here. Most of the men are from out of town, married or both. That’s why they invented flirting.
Blue Martini is the perfect place for fruity martinis, bar starters and quality live music. The chain is able to rotate bands frequently providing a broad mix of live music. However, the menu is the key reason to start happy hour here. The beef tenderloin either as an appetizer or flatbread is to LIVE for! Only your mother and country are to die for - food is to eat!
Both venues are perfect places to bring it when it comes to fashion. Dress divinely, however, daisy duke shorts are appearing on cupcake butts and long legs are in with short spandex mini dresses or skirts. So lace ‘em up and get the party started! Don’t forget, the service is always better wearing a LBD (little black dress).
