Hidden Doors and Craft Cocktails
Before the beat drops at Liquid, many of our guests prefer a quiet, sophisticated cocktail. Tampa's speakeasy scene is thriving in 2026. Here are my top picks for the initiated.
1. The Cigar City Vault
Hidden behind a faux humidor in Ybor, this spot requires a daily password found only on their private Discord. The whiskey selection is unmatched in Florida.
2. Ciro's South Tampa
The OG. Still requiring a knock and a secret word, Ciro's offers the most authentic Prohibition-era vibe with world-class mixology.
3. The Library Annex
Located Downtown, enter through the bookcase in the back of the "standard" bar. It specializes in gin-based drinks and rare botanicals.
