The Castle

The preeminent goth club in Florida. 4 different bars inside, a massive dance floor, always different events, stripper poles, a rack with "professional" doms, everything you could ask for. Always a fun party vibe, with tons of place to dance, talk, chit chat, sit, and just show off your best goth wear. The drinks are always very well priced. If I had any complaints at all it's that sometimes security seems a little lost especially when the "popped collar crew" starts to flood in. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Love this place. My husband and I will go again when visiting Tampa. We went on Friday and Saturday cause we loved it so much. I wish I lived in Tampa cause I would work there and be the spank-the-butt woman.

Beware if u open a tab they ask for your ID. That's too much personal info they have for me to feel comfortable. Staff is rude

Love Castle. It's especially fun during Gasperilla. Very inclusive crowd :) drinks are cheap!

I love the ambiance of this place. It's like partying in Dracula's castle. I came on a goth night. Music was banging, and I had a lot of fun. There were two dance floors, one upstairs and one outside. I wasn't sure what the rules were in relation to the people being flogged, but they seemed like they were having a good time. I think the person doing the spanking worked for The Castle? Maybe it's a liability thing. Were drinks overpriced? Yes. But you'd be hard pressed to find a club in Ybor that doesn't have that.

Upon moving to Tampa, I heard many stories about having to "check out the Castle." While I am super into dark, unique experiences - the Castle was nothing short of that.We decided to check it out around 11PM on a Saturday night. We arrived at the Castle with a short line to get into the entrance. While we waited, we took in the detail of the building itself and the outfits of people walking into the establishment. I was super into the vibe that this place was giving off. When officially getting into the building, we realized there was somewhat of a hefty cover charge. For me, at 32, I normally am not one to pay a cover to go into a bar, but I figured since it was an experience - I might as well. We were a little shocked at how much cover was that night and likely won't pay it again to visit unless it is to allow someone else to enjoy the same experience.We quickly went up to the bar and ordered a few drinks which were EXTREMELY strong. I mean, straight vodka. I wasn't complaining, because..why would you? The decor in the place was very gothic, dark, creepy. i LOVED it. While this is not normally my scene, I definitely think it is a great place for people to go to express themselves. It allows everyone to be welcomed no matter what and that, to me, is pretty cool.We went upstairs to an area of gothic music. It was a little loud for my liking, so when we finished our drinks we left. Kudos to the owners of the Castle for making this place a well known and well liked club around Tampa!

Ugh. I can't say enough of this place ! This place was amazing! So much fun! There is an entry fee tho. I've been twice, the first time I went through the street door it was $25 and the second time I went I entered through the side and it was $10. Drinks are a bit pricy but then again. What club isn't? Do watch out for how bartenders will charge you differently on each level. The lower level charged me $2 more for a drink then the top

This is the only club my friends and I will go to, because there are simply no other clubs in Tampa that can compete. There are so many rooms with different themes and purposes, it makes the experience feel like an adventure. The staff is always courteous and I feel not only that they want me there, but that they want to be there too. The people who go are friendly, easy to talk to, and eager for interesting conversation. The cover is a little expensive but I'd rather pay a few extra dollars for a night full of guaranteed fun.

This is amazing club to have really gold time. People are very nice no one is rude, I've been here couple times and I've not seen anyone causing any problems. Best thing is no one will judge anyone everyone is welcomed here.

i would give 0 stars if i could, they gave up on playing any emo/goth/halloween music, for halloween they had a halloween 2000s horror party playlist and played charlie xcx and all i want for Christmas, they need to get rid off all of their djs and put people who actually know their audience. we asked them to play anything emo and the next song was hot to go :|
