One of Tampa’s newest sports bars is open in Tampa and I find myself there all the time. Riveters in Tampa is located on Dale Mabry near Raymond James Stadium (2301 N. Dale Mabry Hwy).

I love this place because it is located in the middle of Tampa so friends from Lutz, Brandon and St. Pete can meet and have a great time. The friendly wait staff is dressed like Rosie the Riveter, its dog friendly and there is plenty of free parking.  There is indoor and outdoor seating with multiple TVs to watch the game and if it the temperature drops, the outdoor seating comes with fire pits at your table. Riveters has live music from local bands on the weekends and tons of fun games for adults and kids to play like basketball, Jenga and dartboards.

When I am there with friends we usually get a couple appetizers like the buffalo chicken dip or giant pretzel, but if you’re hungry you need to try the wings and burgers, both are delicious…plus they have a happy hour Monday- Friday 4-7pm.

Hear more about the Riveters (5:54) on the Experience Tampa Bay in 10 Minutes or Less podcast. Hear about Walk MS (1:21) and discover a spin on an Alice in Wonderland tea party, but for adults (3:57).
