Water Street & Channelside
Tampa’s newest district: Sparkman Wharf, arena nights, and waterfront dining.
Water Street rebuilt downtown’s edge into a walkable stretch of restaurants, hotels, and green space between Benchmark International Arena and the channel. Sparkman Wharf’s shipping-container kitchens and lawn make it the easy pregame and the easy Sunday.
Known for 11 late-night spots · 5 waterfront bars · 11 brunch spots
