KIKIKI III

kikiki_3

One of the oldest LGBT bars in Tampa was the KIKIKI. The 1st KIKIKI was opened in the 1940’s  where the bus stations is today. #2 was a few blocks away downtown Tampa on Tampa Street. Today it is a parking lot. #3 was on Kennedy Blvd. and was the last one open. It closed a few years ago and the building still is there but was sold. There was a #4 for a short time on Central Ave. in St. Petersburg.

One day a semi drove thru it. LOL  As with any club there are 1,000’s of stories. Most of them are true about the wild KIKIKI. All bars/clubs are successful in part to the owners, staff, location & parties. The sole/spirit is the people who become regulars, friends and family.

When the KIKIKI closed the patrons were all still friends and family. Something really fun has now happened. The friends and family have now found a new home and are all meeting every Sunday at The Liquid Lounge in Ybor City. Stop by Liquid Lounge next Sunday and ask the question…. Anybody know a wild story about the KIKIKI III? Then sit back for a wild time. CHEERS!!!
