Sparkman Wharf is formally known as the Channelside Bay Plaza or known to me as another waterfront park. According to the Sparkman Wharf, celebrates the best of Tampa- good weather, waterfront views, music, craft beer, and exceptional dining.

Sparkman Wharf is located on the east side of Downtown Tampa and has been open for just under a year. The park and wharf are open Tuesday through Sunday, the park hours are11:00 am to 11:00 pm and wharf, hours are 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. 

Now, what exactly can one do while at Sparkman Wharf? Well, I'm glad you're here to find out.  

Let's start with my favorite thing possibly ever... Food. Sparkman Wharf has a "Dining Garden" that has 10 bay area restaurants. There is a lot of variety between all 10 restaurants such as Pizza, Vietnamese, and Seafood just to name a few. One thing to note... Some of these individual vendors might offer different hours than those listed above, so its best to check the Sparkman Wharf website for specific vendor hours.   

The next main attraction to Sparkman Wharf is the Splitsville Southern + Social.  If you're from Tampa, you'll remember the old Splitsville, the one that was the main attraction to Channelside Plaza before the wharf introduction. The new Splitsville a more modern spin on your typical bowling. Aside from the modern spin on normal bowling, Splitsville Sothern + Social also includes games like billiards, darts. and my personal favorite ping pong! Adding this new variety of activities Sparkman Warft is aiming to have something everyone will enjoy.

Now, if you're over 21 I imagine this would be the MAIN attraction for you. Fermented Reality Biergarten which according to Sparkman Wharf, is an open-air Biergarten that features over 30 taps with an emphasis on Flordia craft beer. Sounds and from experiences, trust me, is heavenly. If you're not over 21 or need something for the kids other beverages like soda and tea are available.
