Part of the Gay Tampa Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Tampa, Florida
Ybor City neighborhood gay bar with weekend drag and a patio.
Bradley's on 7th has anchored the gay corner of Ybor City's entertainment district since 2011, a neighborhood bar that trades polish for personality. The room is full of character, from the water-feature bar fixtures to a pool table and a small dance floor, and a large covered patio looks out over 7th Avenue for prime people-watching. Weekend nights bring drag shows, while the rest of the week leans on themed parties and cheap drinks. It's a dive at heart, friendly and unpretentious, the kind of place where the crowd is mixed, the bartenders know the regulars, and nobody's dressed to impress. For travelers working their way through GaYbor's bar strip, Bradley's is the easygoing one to start or end a night in, a short walk from the rest of the Avenue's clubs.
