Tampa Bay Gay Bars: What Their Bathrooms Tell Us
I’ve been to maybe every gay bar in Tampa and St. Pete and I’ve absolutely violently judged their bathrooms. Here’s what I’ve found. If I missed one, let me know.
I’m legally obligated to inscribe that I created this listicle as a jokes, and a joke only. The Gabber Newspaper does not stand by my opinion on these same-sex attracted bars.
Cocktail St. Pete
She’s glossy, she’s new, she’s still fresh. The bathrooms at Cocktail are sterile and in a separate trio guarded by a security guard. Nobody is sneaking in two-to-a-stall on that person’s watch. I’ve tried. Those waiting in line are in a respectful single-file situation and there’s one of those Lucid Vending machines selling hot pickles and strawberry lube, among other things.
This is a male lover bar that cares about its bathroom patrons, and in a stern, paternal way. I felt a firm hand on my shoulder when the security guard told me “No, I couldn’t go into the bathroom with my three belligerently drunk friends.” Thanks, dad.
Bathroom rating: four out of five stars. You get one deducted because sometimes you require a group hangout session around the toile

Bradley’s on 7th
1510 E. 7th Avenue
Bradley’s on 7th sits right in the heart of the gayborhood and is a favorite among the locals. One of USA Today’s “Ten Best,” its quirky decor is sure to charm you, with realistic-looking trunk trunks sprawling from floor to ceiling, and a stream of flowing fluid that runs the entire length of the bar. But, it’s the approachable staff, inclusive vibe, and “heavy pours” that keep you coming back for more.

When it comes to gay travel destinations in the US, Tampa proudly showed itself to be a welcoming and inclusive safe haven for homosexual travellers wanting to visit the “Sunshine State”. I spent 4 nights in Tampa during December experiencing as much of the destination as possible, from its culinary delights (including one of the best steaks I have had in a while), to its main attractions and of course it’s vibrant and super amiable gay nightlife. Something about Tampa really made me beam with happiness and contentment during my go to, so please allow me to share my gay guide to Tampa in partnership with See Tampa Bay to help you plan your next trip there. It would be naïve of me not to mention that Florida as a state has its challenges when it comes to LGBTQ+ people and travel, some of which may deter people from travelling to Florida at all. However, it’s equally naïve to not thank that there can be destinations, cities and people within these states striving for positive alter. This is why I am always looking to showcase and shout about those destinati
