The Place

The Place

Santo’s Drinkeria sits above Ybor City and opens exclusively on Friday and Saturday evenings, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. The rooftop looks out over the historic district, making it a reliable spot to catch the sunset without planning around a restaurant reservation. The vibe is casual — this is not the formal Casa Santo Stefano dining room one floor below.

The bar leans classic: the signature list includes a Manhattan, a Mint Julep, and an Aperol Spritz. Cigars are welcome on the rooftop, which puts this venue in a short category of Tampa spots that actively accommodate them. It works for a date, a small group, or a solo seat at the bar.

Parking is straightforward. A large free lot sits directly across from the restaurant in the Columbia lot between 21st and 22nd Streets, with additional free lots nearby — a practical advantage in a neighborhood where street parking can be scarce on weekends.

Signature Drinks

  • Manhattan
  • Mint Julep
  • Aperol Spritz
