Duffy's Sports Grill Reopens In Time To Cheer Bucs To Victory

TAMPA, FL — Duffy's Sports Grill in Tampa will celebrate the holidays with new menu items, holiday libations and a renovated interior and exterior including a floor-to-ceiling mural of Tampa Bay's most notable athletes.

On May 31, a fire broke out at the sports bar at 1580 N Dale Mabry Highway when a lit cigarette was tossed into a pile of mulch, resulting in $85,000 in damages. It proved to be a major blow for the popular bar, which was a popular gathering place for sports watch parties. Tampa's only Duffy's would normally have drawn standing-room-only crowds for the Stanley Cup playoffs, won by the Tampa Bay Lighting July 8.

But, after months of being closed, Duffy's Sports Grill Tampa is making a big comeback. The restaurant celebrated its grand reopening Dec. 3, featuring a football kick-off party hosted by Buccaneer legend Derrick Brooks along with Super Bowl Tailgate giveaways, Bucs tickets to lucky winners and three days of special offers.

Those visiting Duffy's Sports Grill will find an all-new exterior and a refurbished interior featuring the floor-to-ceiling mural. Duffy's also expanded its menu just in time for the holidays, featuring items such as Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, Buffalo Style Chicken Mac N' Cheese and the Prime Time Burger. Also added to holiday menu is an array of specialty, two-for-one cocktails, such as the Peppermint Martini.

Duffy's is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Clear here for information.
