Historic center of Cigar City
A historic hub of the cigar industry, Ybor City was built by generations of Cuban, Italian and Spanish immigrants who weathered over a century of economic boom, decline and redevelopment. Across decades, robust mutual aid societies, cultural events and landmark local businesses have defined life in Ybor City, as well as a famous flock of feral chickens. “Ybor City was and continues to be built on community,” says Arminda Mata, President and CEO of the Ybor City Museum Society. “Preserving, promoting and celebrating its cultural heritage is very important to the people living and working here.” Connected by major commuter highways to downtown and the wider region, Ybor City is a historic contributor to Tampa’s cultural and entertainment scenes.

Historic business district around Seventh Avenue
Cobblestone and asphalt streets form blocks around Seventh Avenue, housing a walkable business district operated out of early 20th century brick industrial buildings. Locals can rediscover vintage clothing and knickknacks at La France down the street from the Columbia Restaurant’s full block of dining space, iconic for its Spanish and Cuban cuisines, elegant dining rooms and remaining a family-owned fixture since 1905.
Ybor City’s nightlife drives major traffic after dark. Crowbar and The Ritz Ybor are two venues popular for live music performances and themed dance parties, and spots like James Joyce Irish Pub & Eatery serve food and drinks until the early morning hours in dining spaces packed with patrons and themed decor.
For daily essentials and home goods, locals can head to Winn Dixie and Ikea which stand in opposite corners of Ybor City.

Roving chickens and roosters of Ybor City
“Our chickens and roosters are like our mascots. They’re protected by the city,” Mata says. “They do make a mess on the streets and dig in gardens, though.” Cuban immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries housed Ybor City’s original chicken population, and the free-roaming flock is now a common subject for local artists and a point of community pride, despite their propensity for early morning crowing.
You won't go far in Ybor City without running into several roosters, the mascots of the area.
Centro Ybor is in the heart of Ybor City and is a gathering place for many.
