Geno’s 6 Best Spots To Eat Within Walking Distance of Amalie Arena

Avatar photo By Geno

Whether you’re going to a concert or a Tampa Bay Lightning game, you’ve got some good choices to pregame before events near Amalie Arena in Tampa. There are lots of great choices for eating inside the arena, but you definitely pay extra for the convenience. Here are a few top choices for where you can fill up before you go inside.

  • Hattricks on Franklin Street

    If you’re going to a Lightning game, there really isn’t a better hockey vibe in Tampa than at Hattricks Tavern. I love their wings. It’s one of the options for after the game too as they’re open until 3am. Lots of TVs to catch out of town games from a high top table. Go with the shake and bake wings. Trust me.

  • Columbia Restaurant at the Tampa Bay History Center

    It doesn’t get much more Tampa than Columbia Restaurant. While it’s true that the original Ybor City location is a better choice, it’s often tough to get in without a reservation. Plus the museum location is literally across the street from Amalie Arena. You might just not have noticed it since it’s not on the side where you enter. You really can’t go wrong with the half and half combo for about $15. Imagine a world where you were forced to choose between a 1905 Salad OR one of those Cuban Sandwiches? That’d be cruel.

  • Fabrica Pizza on Meridian Avenue

    As much of a pizza lover as I am, I don’t recall trying Fabrica’s pies. But people love ’em. It’s on the pricier side. You won’t find those $6.99 specials like you do at Hungry Howie’s. A 12 inch Chorizo with goat cheese will set you back about $20. They say they take their inspiration on pizza creation from Napoli, Italy.

  • The Pint and Brew on Tampa Street

    The star of the show here is the loaded kettle chips. Cripsy crunchy fresh chips are topped with cheese and the wings are pretty solid too. A couple dozen craft beers on tap and the bread made in house is really popular.

  • The Naked Farmer on Channelside Drive

    OK, full disclosure. I’ve never been here either, but friends love it. If you’re one of those weird healthy eaters, this is probably your best bet. Lots of choices for vegetarians, but there are things like steak too. It’s one of those places where you build your own custom bowl of ingredients.

  • Yeoman's Cask and Lion on Tampa Street

    Fish and chips sound good? If you love the English Pub vibe, go hungry. The fish and chips plate comes with 2 big filets. But they have lots of fat guys food staples I love … burgers, a bunch of different kinds of mac & cheese like Philly Steak Mac and Seafood & Lobster Mac.

Got one I missed? Maybe I just forgot. I’ll add any great suggestions. Find me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram at @GenoAteTampa and include photos I can use here.

So what concerts are coming to Amalie Arena? Take a look!
