813-247-2582 | | | | | Description: YBOR CITY. This huge nightclub offers a little bit of everything, and you can tell by the number of people inside. They come to drink, socialize, play darts and other games, but mostly to dance. Hip-hop, techno and house music are always thumping in abandon, thanks to the powerful sound system and energetic DJs. Empire has long been an area favorite, and now, it offers two full floors of revelry, along with a bar overlooking Seventh Avenue. Drink specials happen almost nightly. Meanwhile, cutting edge Climax (located upstairs) features scorching hip-hop parties from Thursday to Saturday that are not for the feint of heart.

813-241-2982 | | | | | Description: YBOR CITY. Sophisticated but not pretentious, the Olive bills itself as a cigar and martini bar. Nevertheless, it defies categorization by also featuring live bands and weekend dance music. On any given night, you may hear swing, reggae, jazz or disco. The upscale establishment welcomes everyone from business people to college students, so there's always a good mix, too. Martinis, which come in a number of different formulas, are de rigeur, but you can order wine or a cocktail if you want to shake things up.
