The Best Damn Bar in Ybor Taps at the middle island can be “owned” for the night on a pay-as-you pour basis.
(2075)

The Bad Monkey Bar is a military-themed venue in the heart of Ybor – you will know you are at the right place when you see a full-sized P-40 Warhawk crashing through our wall overhead.

6 full sized 105 mm howitzer shells sporting boast 16 beers on tap, including locally brewed favorites. Private groups will enjoy our upstairs “Talibar Lounge” for meetings or social events or a friendly game of po

ol.

24 flat-screen TVs on the main floor make this a great place to watch the game and we have plans for the very near future to bring in PS3 gaming stations. Our full wi-fi and state-of-the-art audio/video configuration is ideal for the traveling businessman, airman and sports/gaming fanatic looking to link up with friends downrange.

College football starts tonight, and the first thing people ask about Ybor is where to put the car. Here's the short answer, and there's a map on the second card.

City Lots 5 and 6 are up on E 9th — first two hours free, a dollar an hour after that, pay by plate at the kiosk. The Centro Ybor garage at 1500 E 5th is the covered option. If you'd rather not drive at all, the TECO streetcar is free and runs every 15 minutes; Centro Ybor Station sits at 16th and 8th, one block from our door, straight down the line from Downtown and the Channel District. Uber and Lyft use the designated spot at 18th and 7th, half a block away.

No cover, and you're always welcome.

The season opens Saturday, and it runs all day.

First kick is noon — TCU and North Carolina from Dublin — then games straight through the afternoon, Florida State hosting New Mexico State at 7:00 PM on The CW, and a late one after that. Twenty-six screens, no cover, and the good tables go well before the FSU kick.

Come at noon. Stay for the day.

He's on our wall. Last night he walked in and stood in front of himself.

That's Deputy Rudy Bueno — he's one of the first responders in the mural at the back of the room.

On September 11, 2001, he was a New York City police officer coming off a night shift. A phone call told him to turn on the TV. Minutes later he was back in uniform and heading for the World Trade Center. He spent that day beside other first responders, keeping order and helping the injured.

He moved to Florida after 2001 and never stopped. Today he serves Tampa as a Deputy with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

It's one thing to put a hero on your wall. It's another when he walks through the door.
