The GaYBOR Easter Bar Hop
The Easter Bonnets for the Big Annual GaYBOR Easter Bonnet Bar Hop were adorned with eggs, lace, flowers, bunnies and ham. The traditional event began with Reservoir Mama at the realm! The big charity fundraiser had people of all ages having fun and new friendships formed. The many Ybor bunny stop hop started at JJ’s Cafe, then Gaspar’s Grotto for some pirate punch, dance mix shot at the T-Dance at Barbarella’s with special guest and Sordid Lives singer Jason Dottley. An artful stop with smiling Niely at Collage, across the street to see Bonnie and Tom at the Crowbar, then a cold frosted beverage up at Centro Canteena, to the Hamburger Mary’s stop. A break then to Reservoir, pizza at NY, NY, onto Bradley’s on 7th, a walk to see the Bricks and back to the new Liquid Tampa for a spectacular show. A finishing off drink was on the rooftop at Rise at Tabu. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success.
