Things To Do
Safety Harbor
This is our favorite spot in the Tampa area to enjoy a relaxing meal or check out a local brewery. There are several options for food from pizza to steaks to salads and sandwiches. Our favorite restaurants include Nona Slice House, WhistleStop, Water Oak Grille and Brinehouse but you can't go wrong with any! Our favorite breweries are Crooked Thumb and Troubled Waters.
Hyde Park Village
This a great area to walk around and enjoy upscale shopping and dining as well as several locations for the perfect photos! It will be decorated nicely for Christmas.
Armature Works
We spend a lot of time on the weekends in Downtown Tampa. This is one of our favorites! You can dine in the food hall or enjoy the courtyard outside as it follows the Tampa Riverwalk. It is a great starting point to see the entire city!
BellaBrava Bexley
For those staying in the Hilton Garden Inn, this is a great option for amazing Italian food. They have a nice patio so you can enjoy the December weather!
Thirsty Buffalo Brewing Company
One of our favorite things to enjoy are the craft breweries in the Tampa area! This is across from the Hilton Garden Inn and also has a wonderful courtyard to enjoy your beer in. Leah's Favorite Beer- Get Ya Day Started Spencer's Favorite Beer- Get Ya Night Started
In the Loop Brewing
For those who want to grab a Pre-Ceremony drink, we love this brewery! Fun Fact- this is how we discovered our beautiful venue because it is right next door and has the picturesque trees and water as a backdrop.
