I like "Splitsville" its an enormous bar with great food. Lots of amusement. Bowling lanes, pool tables, darts and more. There are other businesses there too that I haven't been to like a chocolatier shop and more. The outside has a bar in the middle of the area for outside lounging. There are a bunch of tables with umbrellas for shade but not enough. (I hear they're going to remedy that). They have live music outside at times. If your lucky you can watch a cruise ship dock or depart. They dock right there. That's pretty cool to watch. There's a huge parking lot right there and a parking garage across the street. The aquarium is there and a museum. If you looking for something to do and you cant come up with any ideas go there! Day or night you won't be dissapointed.

Yachts Star Ship Cruise, we went to a graduation, college reveal celebration. Our group boarded, was on the upper deck in our own private section. We had our own waiters. We were started off with an occasion speech, than we were advised of the relative graduation cum Laude, of her class. She will be attending Hampton University. We were started off with a salad, the main coarse than cheesecake. Some of the family went to a different deck to celebrate more and dance While the others enjoyed great conversation and the view. We arrived back where we started and it time to go home. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the great hospitality.

Beautiful spot! Absolutely recommended for anyone's first date. I took my girl over after our dinner portion of the date, then we headed here to the bay plaza for a chill vibe happy and accepting area, we were able to gaze at the moon and stars the whole time we chose to stay, I even seen things out for pets too. I personally love how much there is to offer in such a small spot and with so much space in the mix. Honestly recommended to anyone and everyone, just remember $20+ date idea don't forget to tip it looks good on you

Parkway parking was horrible .I have parked with them for years and now you pay at their channel side site then you drive to 26th street and wait in the heat and wait for a van to drive you back to the port! HORRIBLE! Then the new Royal Port pier 2 is very hard to Maneuver especially on departure day! You have to walk out of the port across the street in another garage to get your transportation back to your vehicle!! So difficult and confusing But Parkway parking's new employees are young rude punks and jerks

It has changed since 2010, everything new when I remember was closed and I was very disappointed. I was treated very obnoxiously by a short guy in a suit saying the waterfront was rented out and when I saw how much it changed and described the difference, he had no idea what I meant by different entrances back in the day and how lively that was when I was 32. I'm 43 now it was a Ghost town. Other than the PRIVALGED that rented out the whole entire place in 99+° weather on September 12th and 13th

Our Local handles all the Cruise ships at Channelside. Berths for 3 vessels and the area is continually growing and evolving with new eateries and local attractions to see. Also, there is a WWII Merchant Mariner vessel that is open for tours. Admission Fee required. Nice area to spend a day just walking around and taking in all the area has to offer. Florida Aquarium is nestled in amongst this area. Come on down and bask in the FL Sunshine and visit local beaches.

I absolutely love the renovations. The vibe is so chill, its perfect for date night, a family outing, or some drinks with friends. Its so versatile and has comfy couches and I love the fake grass. It has some lawn games. There's usually some obnoxious kids/guys throwing a football....I really didn't care for that. Other than that, I can't see any negatives. I do think wet Willie's would of fit in just fine. They have some nice snack options and even coffee.

What a nice place to take the family for a little fun outdoors, but not necessarily in nature. The picnic area is astroturf with tons of tables and seating. Plenty of shade, giant checker board on one end, LIVE MUSIC on a stage, and the battle ship in the background. Plus it's free. Plenty of really amazing food vendors (but pretty pricey.) Paying for parking stinks,too. But all in all, a very clean, fun place to take the family.

I really enjoyed visiting the new Channelside. There are many places to choose from to eat at. Just pick a flavor, lol. Several places have live music to listen to. Some dance. Some have games. Picnic tables in between venues. Beautiful scenery with walkways along the water. It was a full moon out. Just could not get more inviting. What a fantastic night! Will return again soon!!

I came here from Orlando because my sister found this place. It was worth the hour ride. I had the mint chocolate chip ice cream cone. It has white chocolate filling inside the cone with chocolate chips. I had chocolate ice cream. I normally don't like soft serve, but with all the toppings, it was fine. I highly recommend this place for a treat.

We were in town for a concert at the arena and came here to find a bite to eat. Live music, festive lights, friendly atmosphere, variety of grub. I particularly enjoyed my tacos from Gallitos and my cabernet from Lighthaus. There's a nice area by the water with fake grass also with swings and chairs to relax during the band.

This is such an awesome place to come hang out, get some food and drinks, and just chill out with a beautiful ambience. There is a unique variety of restaurants and multiple spots to get beer, wine, and spirits. Ok top of that, you can find different retail shops and a bowling alley too. Swing by and enjoy yourself!

If I lived in Tampa.....I would go here weekly or bi- weekly . It's such a chilled vibe. Outdoor/indoor seating multiple seating styles. Plenty of bars restaurants eateries.. games and dessert options..paradise.. great views. I THOUGHT I was in the Caribbean! Also I saw other cool activities Like the Aquarium...

Super cool spot to chill with a date or walk around on a cool night with a childhood friend. There’s parking right across the street. Some beautiful river views. There’s a lot of seating but it’s a crowded spot so you’ll have to be patient or lucky. The live music will soothe the angriest beast.

Beautiful...lots of upgrades since I was there last years ago. Hours for many places seems to still be under covid-19 schedule. Some places open, some places closed. Parking lot is across the street and a little bit of a walk. It's starts at $2 up to $15. I love the cruise ships right there.

The area is becoming a great place to just chill and enjoy being social. It's very family friendly yet adult based especially late night. Great food and drinks in Sparkman's Worf. Parking is easy and reasonable. Most people are really friendly and respectful of others and the common space.

Great place to hang out with friends and family. Live music and grassy area where kids are playing. Dog friendly. We enjoyed watching the cruise ship depart. Food and drink "trucks" with very unique offerings. Great place to spend some time.

This is actually a pretty cool place. We visited while we were waiting for our cruise to board. I wish we had something like this in the area where we live. You can enjoy your food in the stores or in the designated seating area.

Really nice place. We stumbled on this place by accident and wound up spending a couple hours here. There is a nice variety of shops, eateries, chocolate store and a beer garden. Great atmosphere. Definitely recommend stopping by

Love Sparkman' wharf. Great food , live music and beer garden. Have been there in the afternoon and in the evening and had a blast both times. Large TVs for the football or hockey games and the live music both days was great.

What a refresher, still under construction, but once finished what a place. Restored shipping Containers are the highlight of this downtown spot. Food is good and not over priced. Live band plays on most weekends.

Great spot to spend the day. Snorkeling was pretty good. Beach was nice. We did this from a royal carribean ship. Included a small buffet for lunch. Food was good. Drinks at the bar were ok. A little overpriced.

This is a great place to relax outside on a pretty day. There are so many food options that could please any appetite. The only limitation is seating in the shade, but it’s still a beautiful area.

This looks like a great place to just chill and hang out and have drinks. Nice view and lots of tables and chairs just to sit around and talk with friends or meet new people.

Very nice place to come and walk around for a date night. It does get busy and hard to drive in during work hours, so plan accordingly when wanting to visit the area.

Nice location and great decoration but lacking some stores. The restaurants seem to be closing or a bit on the pricey end. Would definitely visit again.

We went on our first date...so amazing! If you ever come down to Channel Side please go on the Starlight Dinner cruise on a Yacht. So worth it...

The atmosphere is particularly good, very suitable for young people to go to a variety of bars and restaurants, ice cream super delicious …

What an AWESOME place to just come and hang out! Fantastic area for all ages! Get a drink, ice cream, or a meal, then sit at a table and enjoy!

Everything you need to have a good day in a place! So conveniently located that Everything is within a walk away! Food for every taste!

Always a good time here with the family. Plenty of food and drink options. Also a great place to go play and just enjoy the outdoors.

Love bringing family and friends to check out the views, food, and just walk around for a while. Parking is generally easy to find.

The whole atmosphere is awesome different places to eat you can take a group and everyone would be happy. I would highly recommend

The St. Patty celebration was awesome. So many places to get food and drinks. The atmosphere was wonderful full of fun and sun!

Great place to spend time and be out in the sun. Aquarium is next door and plenty of food and drink options are available.

This place is great to go and chill and have lunch, if it wasn't got the blazing heat I would definitely come more often

Awesome drinks and a family friendly atmosphere on the water. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing all the furbabies!

Great place for a lunch or quick dinner/pickup. Lots of food vendors to choose from and most are ready quickly

My wife and I took a cruise from Tampa. What wonderful experience. Everyone was so helpful and nice. Thanks.

Really nice. All set up for the holiday. Need more bathrooms. Overall, great place for an evening walk.

Very nice laid back offers a variety of places to eat. I enjoyed watching the cruise ships come and go

No shopes to speak of but my wife and I had lunch at Jotoro Kitchen and Tequila Bar. It was excellent!

Nice atmosphere on the river, live music. There were a few tables with umbrellas first seating.
