Top Games Spots in Tampa

I suggest you get to Amalie Arena at least an hour early. It can get pretty crowded, and you'll want time to grab some food and find your seat without rushing.

Food inside the arena was ok but a bit overpriced. I think it’s better to eat before you arrive or bring some snacks if you can.

If you're planning to grab a drink or two, grab them before the game starts. The lines can be crazy during intermissions, and you don't want to miss any action

I highly recommend using the digital ticket app they have. It saved me time not having to print anything. Just show your phone to get in.

Don't forget to bring socks if you want to rent shoes! I saw a ton of people scrambling to buy a pair at the front counter, which is a bummer

i recommend checking out their special deals on weekdays especially on tuesdays when the bowling prices drop. it really saved us some cash!

If you're planning to grab food, go for the appetizers. They were surprisingly good! I suggest sharing a few instead of getting entrees; it'll save you money and let you try more dishes.

Try to book your lane in advance, especially on weekends. We had to wait longer than expected because it was super busy when we arrived.

I recommend checking their happy hour specials—some drinks are half off! It's a great way to save money and try different cocktails.

I think the dartboards can get crowded, so try to play on a weeknight. It’s less chaotic and you’ll have more fun enjoying the vibe.

If you’re into billiards, try to snag a table early on the weekends. It gets busy fast, and by 7 PM, you might be waiting a while.

I suggest bringing cash for tips, as some staff prefer it. You'll get better service and won't have to deal with card processing delays
