In a major move set to redefine Tampa’s waterfront, the downtown Tampa restaurants expansion is taking shape with the introduction of four new restaurants, bars, and nightlife concepts at the city’s iconic Riverwalk. With Pendry Tampa joining forces with Clique Hospitality, the project promises elevated dining, immersive experiences, and a fresh wave of culinary excitement for locals and tourists alike.
A Sweeping Addition to the Riverwalk
In a single press release, Pendry Tampa unveiled a sweeping addition to the vibrant Riverwalk: “Four new restaurants, bars coming to downtown Tampa in sweeping addition to Riverwalk.” This bold expansion includes a signature restaurant, a modern Mexican dining concept, a sultry speakeasy lounge, and a poolside culinary escape. Each concept has been crafted to offer vibrant flavors, high-energy ambiance, and a refined, design-focused aesthetic — all hallmark traits of Pendry’s hospitality philosophy.
Inside the Four New Elevated Concepts
Pendry’s upcoming tower at 100 Ashley Drive will house the four new spaces designed to celebrate Tampa’s waterside lifestyle. The signature restaurant concept promises elevated dining, a buzzing social scene, and world-class atmosphere. Meanwhile, the modern Mexican restaurant will immerse guests in expressive décor and bold Mexican flavors. Add to that a hidden speakeasy lounge and a relaxed yet refined poolside dining venue — and downtown Tampa is about to gain a seriously upgraded culinary footprint.
A Major Hospitality Addition to Downtown Tampa
With its branded hotel and luxury residences, the Pendry tower is projected to open in 2027. This expansion places it alongside notable developments like the Tampa Edition in Water Street Tampa, adding more premium experiences to the city’s rapidly evolving skyline. As Tampa continues to grow, these new restaurants and nightlife concepts are expected to enhance tourism, elevate downtown culture, and introduce fresh flavors to the Riverwalk dining scene.
