NEW WORLD BREWERY (Tampa)

[Admin]

Away from the fray and on the fringes of Ybor's party district, the cherished hangout out for brew and music connoisseurs presents local, regional and national touring bands, many the type folks call "indie." Locals and out-of-towners consider New World a home away from home. If you frequent the bar during the holidays, you'll find the place packed with out-of-towners who make New World an obligatory stop on their itineraries. Bands on the verge of hitting the big time, like My Morning Jacket, Okkervil River and TV on the Radio, have put on legendary shows at the friendly indoor-outdoor pub -- and worked out their pre-show jitters on the indoor foosball tables and Simpsons pinball machine. Though it attracts a stellar contingent of hipsters – baby-faced beardos in Chucks and fringy-banged girls in Flashdance wear – New World isn't just for trendy college kids, it attracts a wide range of folks by featuring jam bands, worldbeat, country, Southern rock, punk rock and folk singer-songwriters. Veteran local musician Mark Bustin does sound for shows and lends expert guidance, so if even a band lacks experience, it sounds its best. Folks all ages make the pub one of their stand-bys. Plenty of seating, great pizza, fantastic DJ nights, quaint and characteristic décor, a free jukebox and a swift and friendly bar staff make New World worth exploring every night.
1313 E Eighth Ave. Ybor City, FL 33605.
