The Castle has been, and continues to be, the one place that never really disappoints when I go out. Granted, that's mostly on Thursday or Monday nights, and not on their bread-and-butter goth nights,...

This place is a legend in Tampa's backyard. It has closed and re-emerged through the decades as a disco, a gay disco, a gay salsa disco, and finally a catch-all, small-town alternadisco. It's settled...

This is a great place to hang out. It is usually very crowded and a great assortment of people. I especially like 80's night. I strongly recommend this place to someone for a night on the town.
