The Reservoir Bar
A must stop for anyone visiting Ybor City is The Reservoir Bar. Know as the #1 hole in the wall dive bar in Ybor City. We like to say it’s you will see everyone “from feathers to leather and every one in between here.” Our personal highlight is Miss Covert Karen behind the bar! CHEERS Click here for more photos
CONGRATULATIONS to The Ybor City Museum Society
From The Ybor City Museum Society… Today, we gratefully celebrate our 40th Anniversary! On July 7, 1982, Ybor City Museum Society was incorporated by a group of dedicated volunteers whose passion it was to preserve and share the unique story of Ybor City, its cigar industry, and the immigrant community whose influence is still evident today in Tampa’s diverse culture. Since then, YCMS has created exhibits and programs for our community, served as a Citizen Support Organization (CSO) for the Ybor City Museum State Park, and most recently, built the Tampa Baseball Museum at the Al Lopez House. We are proud to be a part of our National Historic Landmark District and Tampa Bay’s cultural community. Thank you to our members, donors, grantors, park staff, volunteers, and many others who have supported our organization in so many ways.

Rafael was instrumental in working with the state to preserve the Ferlita Bakery so it could become a museum. A plaque was added in 2019 to commemorate Rafael’s four decades of service to our organization.
