I have lived in Tampa all of my 20 long years and have traveled a lot in my life, but still always classify Tampa as the best place to call home.
In addition, people living in Tampa are often lovingly called Tampons which is amusing and also the perfect label for this lady-loving city. Not gonna lie, the first thing I check for when I am traveling to an unknown city is the club scene.
Because come on people, dancing with the ladies is fun! Thankfully Tampa has a pretty good lesbian club scene, so your needs to get out and party are pretty much covered. Gbar E 7th Ave. The clubs flip flop with who gets to host the gay boys and who gets to host the queer ladies which night.
These are my favorite nights because titties. Local tip: go before 11 and get free cover! Honeypot E 7th Ave. Open: 9pm-3am β Honeypot, sister club to Gbar, hosts their lesbian night on Saturday nights. I must say this club is my favorite. It is bigger than Gbar and hosts larger events such as glow, foam, pinup, and fetish parties. There is a drag show with both kings and queens at am every Saturday and the casts are usually from Ru-Pauls Drag Race or other noteworthy competitions.
After the drag show there is generally a bit more techno dance stuff as well. Like Gbar, cover is free before 11pm. This club is 21 and up and mostly caters to gay men, but let me tell you, that sure as hell does not stop the ladies. It is a two story club with one floor more dancey and one floor more rap. The Castle North 16th St. Dark, punky, grunge, and just a little bit goth, The Castle has been a favorite club destination for lesbians in Tampa for years. They recently added Sundays as lesbian night although most of the girls I know get down on Thursdays.
