How locals rank it
In Tampa Bay
From the local food press
Editor’s picks from published local guides
Joy Bar, a dive bar built out of a Tampa liquor store, keeps its Christmas lights, ornaments and tinsel up all year rather than packing them away after the season, so the bar is always running its own holiday program. The former liquor store now stays open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with decor that never changes and a Santa figure watching over the room from a permanent perch. Order a classic dive-bar drink or a seasonal cocktail off the sign board, and expect regulars, sports on the televisions and ugly sweaters once December actually arrives.
