1507 E 7th Ave

Along E 7th Avenue in the heart of historic Ybor City, 1507 E 7th Avenue offers the opportunity to acquire a well-known Tampa property within one of the city’s most active cultural and entertainment districts.

Originally constructed in 1918 during Ybor City’s renaissance, the property has a long history of commercial use. It once operated as a branch of the national department store chain, W. T. Grant Co., reflecting the corridor’s role as a retail destination. In the early 1990s, the building was renovated and repurposed as a restaurant and multi-use venue before transitioning into a nightclub and bar. Since that time, it has housed various entertainment concepts and remains a familiar presence along 7th Avenue.

The two-story layout provides a flexible configuration suitable for various commercial uses. The ground floor includes a main open area with a stage, multiple bar areas, and restrooms. The second floor offers additional bar space, with interior glass walls overlooking the main floor below. A full-length balcony on the second level faces 7th Avenue, providing direct views of the street and reinforcing the building’s connection to the surrounding activity.

Available for purchase, the building is well-positioned for future retail, restaurant, entertainment, or creative commercial use. Its visibility, scale, and existing infrastructure offer adaptability for endless concepts in a submarket with consistently strong demand.

1507 E 7th Avenue benefits from steady foot traffic generated by nearby hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues, including Hotel Haya, the Improv Comedy Theater, and the Florida Cane Distillery. The site also offers convenient access to Downtown Tampa and the Channel District, further supporting its appeal for both local and regional visitors.

Ongoing and planned development in Ybor City, including the exciting Gasworx project, is expected to continue driving population growth and increased activity in the area.

Established in history with eyes on the future, 1507 E 7th Avenue presents an opportunity to establish or reposition a commercial concept in one of Tampa’s most recognizable neighborhoods. Reach out today to learn more.
