Tampa’s vibrant music scene is getting an unexpected twist as top DJs bring their beats to the city’s best cafes. The Over Easy Series, hosted by Alter Ego, a renowned cocktail and music lounge in Water Street Tampa, is revolutionizing the daytime social experience by blending coffee, community, and DJs. This innovative pop-up series is turning local cafes into high-energy social hubs where great music meets great vibes.
A Fresh Take on Social Gatherings in Tampa
The Over Easy Series debuted at We Vegan Cafe, setting the stage for a lineup of dynamic pop-up events. Attendees can expect a laid-back but lively atmosphere at upcoming stops:
- March 23: Supernatural Food & Wine featuring DJ Katsu, 305 E Polk Street
- April 12: LPCX with Just Some Friends, 6204 N Armenia Ave
- April 26: Spaddy’s with DJ Blenda, 5206 N Florida Ave
These events offer a new way for Tampa locals to connect over music, coffee, and culture.
Building Community Through Music and Small Businesses
The inspiration behind Over Easy is simple: create a new way for people to connect while uplifting small, independent businesses. Ferrell Alvarez, Chef Partner at Proper House Group, emphasized the importance of fostering relationships between local businesses and the community.
“We wanted to create something different and fun for our community while supporting our friends who own small businesses,” Alvarez shared. “Over Easy is all about bringing people together in a unique way that aligns with Alter Ego’s vibe—social, creative, and always a little unexpected.”
A Unique Daytime Experience in Tampa’s Best Cafes
The launch event at We Vegan Cafe was an immediate success. The crowd enjoyed an atmosphere that felt like a laid-back happy hour, but in the morning. Alvarez described it as effortless, filled with great people and an environment that made socializing easy and enjoyable.
Daytime dance parties and coffee raves are gaining momentum worldwide, and Over Easy brings this trend to Tampa. It offers an exciting alternative to traditional nightlife, giving people the chance to start their day with music and community rather than ending it that way.
Local Businesses Partnering for a Creative Social Scene
Selecting the right venues was key to making Over Easy a success. The team at Alter Ego focused on relationships, atmosphere, and energy when choosing partner cafes.
“We hit up our friends who own coffee shops and simply asked if they’d be down to host,” Alvarez explained. “The right fit comes down to good energy, a welcoming space, and people who share our passion for community-driven events.”
With a perfect mix of caffeine, culture, and curated beats, Over Easy is reshaping Tampa’s social landscape, one coffee-fueled dance party at a time. Don’t miss out on the next pop-up—come for the music, stay for the vibes.
