It's happened to us all. We all get that sudden craving after leaving a Bolts game or concert, and with endless options to bar bar-hop in Tampa, it’s good to know a list of places that are serving late-night bites. There are plenty of spots downtown that still serve food till midnight or later! So when you’re not ready to take the party home, or Taco Bell doesn’t sound like the move, consider trying one of these late-night restaurants!

You won’t find any big food chains on this list. We try to keep it local and only feature the best-kept secrets in Tampa. We took the most popular suggestions from Yelp and added our favorites to the list. Whether it’s pizza, burgers, or ice cream, we have all the recommendations for you!

An honorary mention that didn't make our list is Bar Taco in Hyde Park. Their kitchen hours on their website list 11 am-"late". This means that if it's a slow night, they could shut down the kitchen at 11 p.m. But since this is such a popular restaurant with a great location, it hardly ever closes early. Plus, what's a better midnight snack than tacos? Another one of our favorite mentions is the Shiso Crispy food truck located at 874 North Tampa Street. They serve an Asian-American fusion and their Bang Bang Chicken is a MUST try! They are open till midnight Sunday-Thursday and open till 3:30 am on Fridays and Saturdays. Also, keep in mind The Yard House opened in late 2023 across from Amalie Arena. They are open till midnight on weekdays and 1 a.m. on weekends.

Any place you think we should add to our list? Let us know on social media!

Riveters is one of our favorite Tampa restaurants. It's a great place to go pregame before any Buccaneers game or concert at Raymond James Stadium. They're located right next to the 2001 Odyssey club, so they'll stay open until 3a. You can find them here: 2301 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa
