Tampa’s Paradise wasn’t just a bar — it was an institution. Tucked along North Nebraska Avenue, this neon landmark carried on decades of queer nightlife history: part neighborhood tavern, part after-hours cruise, all community. From drag shows and pool tables to a back patio that saw more confessions than most churches, Paradise was where locals gathered long before Ybor’s rainbow glow.
This tee celebrates that enduring slice of Tampa gay history — smoky, loud, and always just a little bit dangerous in the best way.
