Toast of the town: Drink Up Week has arrived

This week — Monday, July 22-Friday, July 26, 2024 — we’re shining a spotlight on the vibrant drink scene in Tampa Bay.

Drink Up Week is finally here and we have a feeling it’ll be the toast of the town.

Here’s the tea — today through Friday, July 26, we’re celebrating the entrepreneurs, mixologists, venues, and beverages that make Tampa Bay City go ‘round.

As you know, we’ve created an interactive map of can’t-miss deals offered by local businesses in Tampa + the Burg. Here are the top deals our TBAYtoday editors have their eyes on — and what they plan to pair with these drinks.

Bailey is going for the $2 off craft cocktails at LALA St. Pete. She’s dropping in on Friday with her bestie because espresso martinis are always in the cards — and she’s pairing her drink with the menu’s Lala fries. She might even end the night with a little karaoke — featuring Britney Spears, of course.

City Editor Patrick can’t wait for the BOGO Guinness at the James Joyce Irish Pub & Eatery in Ybor City along with some shepherd’s pie egg rolls (don’t knock them ‘til you’ve tried them).

We hope you enjoy sipping your way through our city this week. Cheers to you and happy Drink Up Week, TBAY.
