      They had so much fun and although the bracelets seem expensive, they are actually high-quality.

      A must stop!

      We had the best time here on our trip to Nashville. My 11 year old niece still talks about how much she loved it and wears her bracelet every day!

      Fun, Creative, and Central...With a Few Comfort Trade-Offs

      We had a really fun time at Tampa Bead Bar. It’s honestly refreshing to find an activity that isn’t centered around eating or drinking, and our group genuinely enjoyed sitting down and making bracelets together. The selection is amazing - tons of bead options to work with, plus walls and tables of beautifully premade pieces if you’d rather shop than create. The location is another big plus: being in Hyde Park makes it super easy to grab coffee, wander, or kill time nearby before your reserved slot.

      That said, there were a couple downsides worth noting. The space got very warm, especially with our group of five taking up most of the bar area. Between the number of people and the bright lighting, it felt pretty stuffy...adding a fan or some extra airflow would make a big difference. And while the experience was fun, it is on the pricier side, so it’s definitely something you plan for rather than a casual drop-in. Overall, a great concept and experience, just a few comfort and cost considerations to keep in mind.
