G.BAR
Everything they do at G.BAR is always a huge hit!!! This was so very true for their first Facebook / Grindr party!!! You all know how much we like to club hop. We just didn’t want to leave this party!!! Friends on Facebook/Grindr were given the VIP treatment early on the dance side of the club. We can’t wait to see how wild this is going to be this Saturday.
The Social Club & That 70's Bar
HYNCA Party @ The Bricks
A membership renewal party for The Historic Ybor Neighborhood Association was held at The Bricks. What a great way to meet your old & new neighbors in a fun setting. Attending was newly elected Tampa City Councilman Mike Suarez. A great time to be introduced to local business owners, residents and attract city hall. It was brought up that residents at The Quarters in Ybor have been calling their Westside pool, “GaYBOR Beach.” Then residents of The Box Factory said, ” in that case our pool is now South Beach!!” So just how many pools are in Historic Ybor? It was agreed 6. The Quarter (2), the Box Factory, Hampton Inn & Suites, Hilton Garden’s Inn & 1 residential on 5th & 17th. The things you learn at a neighborhood party. The Brick’s appetizers were great as always & the 1/2 price drinks were great too!
New Gay Sports Bar, Leather Bar, Jacuzzi Bar coming to GaYBOR
With over 260+ businesses in Ybor City when one closes up everybody starts to speculate on what’s moving in!!! There are now 3 new great open store spaces. The former Laughing Cat Restaurant would make for a perfect GLBT Sports Bar or Bistro. It has it all.. great location, a kitchen, great artsy space, streetcar frontage and in the heart of the historic and GaYBOR District. On the corner of 5th Ave & 18th an old diner/bar is now back on the market. This would be the perfect location for a neighborhood bar, even better locations for a leather club. Sadly, last week the gay live band playing PLAY Ybor Bar closed. We have always said what a fun outside patio to put a Jacuzzi on!!! So there you have it 3 available properties, all with 3 great things in common… LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!!! Viva La GaYBOR

La Gaceta Newspaper
In Ybor City is the nations only tri-lingual newspaper, La Gaceta. http://www.lagacetanewspaper.com/ This paper is in English, Spanish & Italian. The editor & publisher is Patrick Manteiga. His editorials are always great & interesting. Unfortunately the newspaper isn’t online or blog yet. So….here is what Patrick wrote this past week….
” We met Governor Rick Scott this week. As we shook his hand, we told him of our newspaper and that we were pretty liberal and left-leaning. With a smile on his face and what we detected as disdain in his heart, he responded, “Liberal and left, you’re destroying jobs.” So much for finding common ground. He should go back to selling donuts; it suits him better.”
GO PATRICK!!!
