Best & Cool Bars in Indian Shores

"I had heard good things about Ulele (Ū-lë-lē) prior to our visit and it absolutely lived up to expectations. The concept was created by Tampa Bay’s Gonzmart family, now in their fifth generation as owners of Florida’s oldest restaurant, The Columbia (more on that later). Ulele restaurant and craft brewery opened after a $5 million restoration of Tampa’s original public water pump house, which drew from a spring that once supplied all the city’s drinking water."

Ulele makes its home in a renovated water-works building, beckoning a rustic, industrial-chic vibe. Inspired by the indigenous people of Florida, the menu combines fresh and local ingredients in new, exciting flavor combinations."

"Florida has a lot of wildlife reserves and animal sanctuaries, but the Big Cat Rescue is a standout both for its sterling reputation and the fact that it’s dedicated solely to felines.

Many of the animals at the Big Cat Rescue are being rehabilitated after abuse and neglect at the hands of circuses, hunters, animal testers and exotic pet owners."

"Finally, the Big Cat Rescue is the world’s largest big cat sanctuary, and home to more than 100 lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, and cheetahs. There’s a lot of walking involved.
