Fill out the event form here Event Reservation and Liz will get back to you.

In the heart of historic Ybor City, The Bad Monkey is where the night actually goes somewhere. Rack up a game of pool, take on the shuffleboard, or throw a few darts while the music keeps the room moving. Come for a game, stay for the atmosphere, and find out why Ybor’s best nights start here.

Football weekends at the HQ run from the first kick to the last game, and that is a long day. The pool table, the shuffleboard and the dartboard are how the crew fills the gaps between kickoffs.

Tonight works too. Plenty of arguments about who is actually best at darts are still waiting to be settled.

Saturday the college slate runs from noon and Florida State kicks at 3. Every screen is live, so whatever game you are following, we will have it on.

Sunday the Bucs host the Vikings at 4:05 on FOX, with the early games on from one. Clam Master Jay is cooking at the window from noon until the last game ends.

Starting this season, Clam Master Jay is taking over the kitchen every Sunday! He’ll be cooking up his famous cheesesteaks along with a rotating menu from noon until the last game ends. Every game, every screen, every round, same as always. Come hungry!

Saturday runs from the noon kicks straight through the night, with Florida State at Alabama at 3:30 on ABC as the anchor. Sunday the Bucs open at home against Cleveland at 1:00 on CBS.

Every game, every screen, until the late ones finish.

Happy Hour is every Monday through Friday 3:00 P.M – 6:00 P.M.

Happy Labor Day weekend from Bad Monkey Ybor City! Thank you to the hardworking folks who keep Tampa Bay running, especially our service members and first responders. Celebrate with cold drinks, game day on the big screens, and good company at the best bar on 7th Ave in historic Ybor. See you this weekend!

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.

Capo Rise to Power took over the bar for a day. Nobody built a set. They turned the lights on and rolled.

Same room, same seats, same taps. Open tonight, directions in our bio.

FSU opens against New Mexico State on the 29th and the NFL kicks off September 9. Follow the page.

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

That’s Deputy Rudy Bueno from our first responders mural. On 9/11, he was an NYPD officer coming off a night shift. Minutes after the news broke, he was back in uniform at the World Trade Center helping the injured. Today he serves Tampa 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.
