The Soho Backyard
This is the SoHo district's answer to the 1 a.m. question of "where can we still get real food and a drink?" — a laid-back bar-and-grill that runs its gourmet-ish kitchen until close, seven nights a week, on a string-lit patio instead of a dance floor. The vibe is sports-bar-meets-neighborhood-hang: TVs on, an eclectic mix of ages, drinks that won't gut your wallet, and enough of a scene to feel like going out without the velvet-rope theater. Come if you want a low-key late night with a plate of food and maybe your dog at the table. Skip it if you're after a proper nightclub, a dance floor, or a quiet white-tablecloth dinner — this isn't that, and doesn't pretend to be.
Map & parking
Weeknights after 11 p.m. — once most Tampa kitchens have shut down, this becomes one of the few places still serving real food, so you get the late-night eats without the weekend elbow-to-elbow crush. If you'd rather do daylight, Sunday brunch on the patio is the mellow play.
Treat it as a landing spot, not a starting one: roll in after the louder SoHo bars wind down, grab an outdoor table (the dog's welcome there), and actually order off the kitchen — it runs nearly to the 2 a.m. close while everyone else is scrambling for a food truck.
