M.Bird is the rooftop lounge over Armature Works, four floors up from the food hall, with the Hillsborough River on one side and the downtown skyline on the other. The room is done in an art deco key and the kitchen sends out shareable plates, listed on its own site as Caribbean, American and small plates, alongside tropical cocktails. DJs work the deck and the space takes groups and private events.
Tampa Nightlife: Tampa Heights
Tampa's first residential suburb, platted in 1883 on the bluff north of downtown, and now the city's busiest food corridor. A 1910 streetcar repair shop is a food hall, the Ulele spring still runs beside the river, and the blocks around Ola Avenue hold more new kitchens than anywhere else in the city.
