Why 1983 Is the Best Happy Hour in Tampa

Most happy hours give you a discounted drink and a seat at the bar. 1983 gives you something else to do with your time.

There's a full arcade in the back and an indoor golf simulator you can book by the hour. There are TVs for whatever's on. There's a sushi bar in an American comfort food restaurant, yes sushi. Come for the $5 drafts, stay because nobody's ready to leave yet.

It works for the team that needs a table for eight on a Thursday, the two people who want martinis and truffle fries and the group that wants to share a drink, food and some laughs.

Happy Hour for Groups and Teams
