For decades, the first (and only) place where many men could meet other gay people was at a bar, mostly in the shadows- a speakeasy. From the beginning, the speakeasy was relatively small, with little or no entertainment involved. Still, through gradual growth, it popularized and expanded to many different areas with new additions of entertainment and eventually made the speakeasy one of the biggest businesses during Prohibition. Johnsons Tampa, in a tucked-away location in Ybor City, recreates the era of speakeasies.
Men enjoy conversation at the bar and can choose to walk through the velvet curtains and open themselves up to an adventurous and exciting evening.
Matt Colunga and his partner are expanding their famous brand to Tampa, Florida. Johnsons delivers an upscale social experience with prime performers from across the globe. The mixologists are selected for their talents at crafting drinks while ensuring each visitor is treated like family.
