What Is Ybor City Known For?

Ybor City was founded in 1885 by Vicente Martinez Ybor and other cigar manufacturers and was annexed into Tampa in 1887. Thousands of immigrants from Cuba, Spain and Italy, along with German, Jewish and Chinese families, came to roll cigars, and by 1929 Ybor's factories were rolling about 500 million cigars a year, earning Tampa the nickname "Cigar City." Each community built its own mutual aid society, and several of those grand clubhouses still stand, including Centro Espanol, the Cuban Club (El Circulo Cubano), the Italian Club (L'Unione Italiana), Centro Asturiano and La Union Marti-Maceo. Today the roughly one-square-mile historic district is a National Historic Landmark District, known for its brick streets, iron balconies, the free-roaming Ybor chickens, and a mix of Cuban, Spanish and Italian food traditions that runs through the neighborhood.

Ybor City Restaurants, Bars and Nightlife

• 7th Avenue (La Septima): Ybor's main street, named one of the "10 Great Streets in America" in 2008, is lined with restaurants, cigar bars, craft beer and cocktail bars, live-music venues and nightclubs, and it is one of Tampa Bay's best-known nightlife districts, especially on weekend nights.
• Columbia Restaurant: founded in 1905 and often called Florida's oldest restaurant, the Columbia fills a full city block on 7th Avenue with Spanish and Cuban dishes and flamenco shows.
• Cigar culture: hand-rolled cigars are still made in Ybor, including at J.C. Newman's El Reloj factory, which has operated since 1910, and visitors can find cigar shops and lounges throughout the district.
• History and culture: the Ybor City Museum State Park, in a former bakery building on 9th Avenue, tells the story of the cigar workers and includes restored "casitas," the small wood cottages cigar workers lived in.
• Events: Ybor hosts the Sant'Yago Knight Parade in February, Guavaween in October and a holiday tree lighting each November, plus regular street festivals and markets.
• Getting around: the TECO Line Streetcar connects Ybor City with the Channel District, Water Street and downtown, so many residents can skip the car for a night out.

Living in Ybor City: Lofts, Casitas and New Townhomes

Ybor's housing is as varied as its history. Buyers can find lofts in converted cigar factories and warehouses, restored historic casitas and bungalows, and a growing number of new townhomes and single-family homes on infill lots in neighborhoods north and east of the historic core. Homes in ZIP 33605 average well under the Tampa Heights side, which makes the area one of the more affordable ways to live close to downtown. Big changes are under way too: as of January 2026, the Gasworx project, a roughly 50-acre redevelopment on Ybor's south side, had opened its first apartments and was building more residential and retail space, with about 5,000 homes planned at full build-out, and larger plans had been proposed for East Ybor and the Ybor Harbor waterfront. Buyers who want to live near 7th Avenue should expect late-night crowds and noise on weekends, while the quieter residential streets a few blocks away offer more of a neighborhood feel.

Tampa Heights and Riverside Heights

Tampa Heights was developed in the 1880s as Tampa's first suburb and is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, with Victorian and early-1900s homes alongside a wave of new construction. Its riverfront has become one of Tampa's most popular destinations: Armature Works, a 1910 streetcar warehouse turned food hall, restaurant and event space, anchors the Heights district, and the Tampa Riverwalk continues north to Water Works Park and Ulele restaurant. Riverside Heights, on the west side of Tampa Heights along the Hillsborough River, adds tree-lined streets near the water, and many of the newest custom homes in the area are being built there and in neighborhoods such as Ridgewood Park, Suburb Royal and Buffalo Heights.
