Where It's At – Just two blocks off Seventh Avenue, the Castle's gothic architecture is hard to miss. Yet one of the most often-asked questions in Ybor is, "Where's the Castle?" – – The Scene – Even though it's not along a well-traveled strip of Ybor, theme nights like Fetish, Gothic and Old Wave mean just about everyone under 35 stops in at one time or another.

Updated Info on The Castle
by popnwave
Some of the posted info read on here is a tad bit old so I figured I would update it!
Monday: "Retrogressive" with DJ Rob Pittman upstairs doing a great variety of alternative-80s/90s videos with some retro pop thrown in for good measure. DJ Sean is downstairs spinning a wider mix of darker alternative music.
Thursday: "Pop N Wave" with VJ Mike Roehr upstairs playing videos that sometimes defy classification! UK/France/US/You name it, if it's a cool video it's probably in rotation. Caters more towards the hipper club goer with out any of the pretention of a scene.
Friday: "Coffin Classics" with DJ Sean upstairs playing your old school, dark club favorites and DJ Rich Rank downstairs often blowing your mind with his guest dj's spinning anything you can classify as "cool"
Saturdays: DJ Tom Gold leads the charge with the occasional guest of his, playing the cream of the crop of what's new in goth/industrial/idm/ebm/et al. Stompfest for sure and it's a blast!
Never a dress code, best drink in Ybor City, be sure to come as you are because everyone is welcome at The Castle!
- Pros: Alternative really fits this place!
- Cons: Sometimes crowded and can get a bit warm in the summer!

The best Indutrial/Alternative/pop/wave club
by wolfwood723
This is 'the' club to go to if you love Pop/wave or goth industrial or go on Monday and relive the good times with their 80's night. The upstairs is where the party is and the downstairs bar is a good chill out and cool off spot. If your in Ybor or going to be soon I highly recommend checking it out.
- Pros: Music, people, three bars
- Cons: Can get very crowded.
