Tucked away on an Ybor City side street, The Castle collects a bohemian crowd looking for stiff martinis and a stylish but serious atmosphere. Downstairs, an elegant, black granite bar has a "river" of water running through it. The upstairs houses a full dance floor, a lightshow and an extra-large projection screen. The music is a mix of new wave, house and industrial in heavy doses. And as the night wears on, the boho crowd loses its inhibitions and heads onto the dance floor to break it down. DJ-spun theme nights run throughout the week, but the best nights to get your groove on with like-minded revelers are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The crowd is an eclectic mix of gloomy Goths with warm-hearted hipsters thrown in. Just wear black and youre sure to fit in.

Love the Castle
By Jsarge72 on 07/25/2008
I have been going there for 9 years, and I love it, but Now I really miss it, I moved out of state. So if you get a chance go see this club.

wtf?!
By flfairy on 11/27/2007
i have always enjoyed the castle, it has a great atmosphere and music, always a fun time... until the other night when the DRUNK bartendress took my debit card - when i went to sign out, she told me they dont except cards for payment! (then why did she take it?!) she was falling all over the place and being very rude to us, i dont care if she did it by mistake or as a joke (though that is f'd up too), i called my bank immediately but im still upset b/c nobody took me seriously - it was the end of the night and ppl were quite f'd up and all!! we tried to talk to several other bartenders and even the door ppl but they just all blew it off and told me to talk to someone else blah blah... i didnt want to call the cops as i was intoxicated myself but i was sober when i gave it to her so i def remember!!! so im re-evaluating my feelings of this club!! ill prob find somewhere else for my friends and i to hang out from now on, i mean if u cant trust the employees of the establishment then wtf?! management should really look into this!!!!!!! and i thought it was somewhere that i finally felt accepted!!!! GRRRRRRR

Castle is the place to go on Monday nights. The only true dance club left in Tamp Bay.
