FRIENDLY TARPON TAVERN – Seafood
A dive bar on West Gandy in South Tampa, beer and wine only, and entirely comfortable with that. The food is bar food and proud of it — hot dogs, boiled peanuts, pretzels, fries. There's a pool table, darts, a golf game and cornhole on the back patio, trivia on Tuesdays and live music Friday and Saturday nights. Regulars keep returning for the bartenders, who hold the room at an easy, unpretentious pitch. Not a dinner destination; a hangout that knows exactly what it is.
