Soaked in sun and Southern charm, the city of Tampa Bay has long been a year-round destination in the continental United States. Situated on the Gulf Coast Bay, its vibrant nightlife and close proximity to the water has made Tampa one of the premier tourist towns along Florida's coasts. The city is home to its fair share of drinking establishments as well, from neighborhood watering holes to trendy downtown lounges, as well as several biker bars.
Toucan's Beer Bar and Grill, located in northeastern Tampa Bay, is considered a biker-friendly establishment. This "biker bar" is conveniently located in a strip mall, offering ample parking, particularly for those who appreciate the extra space when parking their road hogs. The bar features quite a few standard pub amenities, such as daily specials and grub such as buffalo wings. A low-key establishment, it has the feel of a neighborhood bar, and offers both domestic and imported beers as well as cocktails at reasonable prices.
