The Ritz Ybor

Jeremy is an amazing merch man! He's the sweetest and most personable ! Thank you ritz for bringing this amazing person on your team! I'll be back soon!

Had a great first experience at this venue. Easy to get in and out of the building. They dropped the temp real low to prep for the body heat. Three main bars, with a couple of pop-up beer stands on the sides of the main auditorium.The vibe was great. You get a lot of the original old school theater in the walls, ceilings, and moldings.Staff was very friendly.Prices were on the high end, as expected for a venue with club vibes.

This review is more for the experience of #UrbanTrivia that I visited while in Tampa. We did have to wait outside in a long line before they opened the doors at 7pm. It was hella hot, no shade but rules are rules, I guess. Seating as plenty and it stayed cool and lively in this spot. However, drinks, including bottled H²O, as dumb expensive, are $5 per bottle & it was off brand and from the faucet. The drinks themselves were good and did the job but for $13 per 8 ounce drank ‍. The Mixologist were cool and got it right everytime & security was good too.

Such a great venue to see concerts! You feel close to the stage even if you are towards the back. One of my favorite places to see bands perform.

Scammers !!!!they give you sprite and ginger with out alcohol in it when you pay 17$ for a drink with tequila in it !!happened 2 times !!

Last night I went to the Ritz for Emonite. My friend and I purchased VIP but we had never been there so we weren't sure how it worked. Due to us accidentally entering through the normal entrance, we were directed to go outside to re-enter and get new wrist bands. The staff was extremely rude. I completely understand working at a night club they deal with a lot of horrible customers. After my encounter, I went to the bathroom to keep myself from crying. Truthfully don't know if I'll be returning to an establishment that allows employees to be rude to confused customers. I truthfully feel my night would have been much better had I not purchased VIP. Because I would have avoided that entire interaction.

Excellent place to get your phone stolen. Security is extremely strict with the entrance but somehow manages to be the venue with the most stolen phones in the country. Every single night. I have been to 100 edm venues from california, florida, new york, Michigan, and none compare in terms of poor ambience / crowd. Serious issue at this venue not sure if it's tampa, the location, the shows, the people but 4 stolen phones every weekend is a serious issue. Avoid this venue at all costs unless you enjoy poor ambience.

Nice place on the the decor , stops there , very very expensive drinks paid for non top shelf rum and cokes 52 dollars for 2 of them ,basically feel like they take advantage of the patrons , probably won't drink there again when I see a show there ,lesson learned !!!

Usually good DJsChaotic and usually busyDecent pricing67° inside so dress warmLots of people on drugs or trying to sell drugs.

This review is for a concert event. Tickets were sold in advance and doors were advertised to open at 6:30. Upon arrival the marquee showed doors opening at 7. The show was advertised to start at 7:30. The show didn't start until after 8:30. No one came out to apologize or explain the delay. Nothing. Very disrespectful overall and I will never attend an event at this venue again.
