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.
