About Crowbar
Crowbar has established itself as the cornerstone of Tampa's independent music scene since opening in Ybor City's historic district in 2012. The 500-capacity venue occupies a converted warehouse space with exposed brick and industrial fixtures that perfectly complement its programming of emerging and established indie and electronic artists. Unlike the mainstream clubs that dominate Ybor City's strip, Crowbar operates on a music-first philosophy, booking artists based on artistic merit rather than commercial profile and nurturing Tampa's local talent alongside touring acts from across the country. The venue's intimate scale creates an intense connection between performers and audience that has generated intense loyalty from Tampa's music community.
History
Crowbar opened in 2012 and filled a genuine gap in Tampa's music scene, providing a quality mid-size independent venue for artists and genres that the city's larger concert halls and mainstream clubs could not accommodate. The venue became central to Tampa's creative community and has been instrumental in developing local artists who went on to national recognition.
