Editorial Review for The Hub – by Curtis Hayes
In Short
Originally a combination package store and cocktail lounge, this watering hole catered to society's high end--including judges, attorneys and even Mafia bosses. Today, the Hub's become a Tampa institution, attracting everyone from politicians by day to the hip blue-collar set by night. Never start a night here with plans to go elsewhere: If the stiffest drinks in town don't ground you, the jukebox stocked with CDs you thought no one else listened to will.

I never understood the attraction to dive bars until I stepped into the Hub. It is the greatest dive bar--trashy and fabulous. It has the best and the worst jukebox in the world, depending on your mood. And it is a time warp--it doesn't matter if I go in at 7 p.m. or 1 a.m., I am probably going to be there until closing time. Definitely THE place to end up after a night out. It has great drinks, awesome bartenders (who can take care of themselves...), and the craziest mix of people I have ever seen. Bring sanitizer and your drinking hat--and either a dd or cab money, 'cause you'll probably need it.
Pros: Bartenders with an attitude, drinks that'll kick you in the teeth, and the lights are nice and low...
Cons: Avoid touching anything in the bathrooms...

Nasty, dirty, dingy, smoky, with stiff drinks. In other words, the BEST. Gotta love the atmosphere. Scooter is the man. You'll never know who'll show up in there. Definately worth going to.
Pros: Service, drinks, prices
Cons: Long drive home to Seminole
