Converted from a gas station in 1951, Tiny Tap has been a cherished Tampa favorite for decades. This tried-and-true dive bar's friendly clientele and cheap prices make it a refreshing respite from its upscale SoHo surroundings. Friendly, fun-loving bartenders pop PBR cans (their specialty) as patrons of all stripes challenge one another to hardcore pool competitions while belting out jukebox classics. The staff refers to the bar as "Tiny Trap" in honor of the many loyal regulars, but even for newbies, Tiny Tap delivers big-time. You might enter as a stranger, but you will leave as a new friend. This is a beer and cash only establishment.

While many bars of a similar ilk seem cramped, smoky and claustrophobic, The Dirty Shame is large, roomy and contains reasonably breathable air, the result of high ceilings and ventilation from the open front door. The walls are all brick, giving it a classic, sturdy look. The Dirty Shame has a diverse selection, including 19 beers on draft, nearly 40 more in bottles, a few house wines and an extensive spirit selection, including many small-batch Bourbons and single-malt Scotches.
