The Tampa Museum of Art is a place unlike any other because it is one of Tampa's few waterfront event locations. Up to 400 guests can enjoy sitting outside on our lovely covered terrace, which offers views of the downtown skyline and the minarets of the University of Tampa. If eating indoors appeals to you more, start your evening in our roomy atrium and end it with a dance party on our outdoor terrace. There are several options for ceremony and reception sites at the Tampa Museum of Art. You could also let your visitors see our most recent art exhibits and galleries, which are on the second floor. Even though nighttime events are frequent at the Museum, we often plan daytime activities like business meetings, big luncheons, and showers. Each and every client receives a menu that has been specially curated by our amazing in-house caterer at the Museum. For you and your visitors, they will design a menu and an experience that accurately reflects your preferences and style.

Our ancient, three-story structure was built more than a century ago and is a work of art in terms of architecture.

The Cuban Club is a historic four-story landmark in Ybor City, Tampa, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Today it operates as a multi-purpose event rental facility, hosting weddings, galas, corporate functions, concerts, and cultural events across its distinct spaces. The venue encompasses five event areas ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale productions: the Grand Ballroom on the fourth floor seats up to 480 guests; the historic Theater holds 475 in terraced seating across two levels; The Cantina accommodates 275 seated or 780 standing with a permanent stage and full-service bar; and the expansive outdoor Courtyard spans over 35,000 square feet with capacity for up to 4,500 guests. The building's original details — imported tile, stained glass windows, and elaborately muraled ceilings — give each space a character that newer venues rarely match.
