jerryphx Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Hi, first time poster. Flying in from Phoenix and arrive in Tampa Friday nite. Won't meet up with my buddies until Saturday morning - they're coming in from MD. We've got a group going to the game. We'll be accounting for at least 10 tix... Is there anything going on Friday nite? Any official 'skins fan hotspot? Can't wait, this is my first Playoff. HTTR Jerry in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins0721 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Great question...We're getting in about 830 Friday night. Staying at the Renaissance near the airport and stadium. Besides Mons Venus, where are the Skins fans hanging out Friday night??? :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVA2Tampa Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ybor City...Gaspar's Grotto on 7th Ave...there were quite a few Redskins fans in there last time the Redskins were in Tampa back in November...Friday night should be good. Also, Elmer's on 7th Ave between 20th and 21st St is a local Redskins bar. If your taste is more "upscale", then King Corona (also on 7th) is a nice quiet place to have a drink and a cigar. HTTR!!!

NOVA2Tampa Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Ybor City - where is that in relation to RJS? I'm, staying at the Hilton Airport Westshore.Cigar friendly :applause: Westshore to I-275 East to I-4, then Exit on to 21st St You have to go Right (South) on 21st...take that down to 7th Ave Take a Right on 7th Avenue...it's the main drag in Ybor There is a good parking deck one block south of 7th Ave. between 15th and 16th Streets. If you get there before 10 pm you can park for only a few $$$. After 10 pm it's $10. Ybor is VERY cigar friendly...it's the old cigar manufacturing district...there are still numerous cigar shops and cigar factories along 7th Avenue. Just let me know where you're gonna be. Hope to see you all there! HTTR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdinG Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Why??? I've only lived in Riverview since June of 2004...I grew up in Northern Virginia...lived there for over 30 years...'Skins 4 LIFE...got a problem with that??? :laugh: Since 2004? That's fine then. I always give people 5 years to convert to the Bucs after they move to Tampa. You still have a few years allowable as a Skins fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gortiz Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Do you guys think that this might be a game where people are shocked about how many skins fans were at the game?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVA2Tampa Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I presume everyone coming out to Ybor will be wearing their Redskins stuff, right??? It will be easier to find each other that way. Dress warm...there's a cold front coming in tonight...it'll be just like back home in DC!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova- Elliott in the Morning show just interviewed the owner of Elmers. He's from Silver Spring. He's expecting a big Skins turnout there, mostly post game. He said he has 2 locations. One in South Tampa and the other in Ybor City. Another caller called in and said the wings are awesome at the one in Ybor City. Said there were 100 different flavors. Our local channell 9 will be filming from one of the two locations, but I don't know which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a regular at Elmer's, I can attest to the quality of the wings...they are AWESOME...the spicy bbq wings are out of this world...I'm drooling just thinking about 'em!

JayLP Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I recommend Channelside or Hyde Park. I know everyone always talks about Ybor City and when you hear Tampa you think of Ybor, but that place is overrated. It has gone downhill from a few years ago. I mean it's ok, and it's nice to go there and experience it if you have never been. But I highly recommend Channelside or Hyde Park Cafe or Bahasa which is in Hyde Park.
