Hi FL Hoopers!

If you take your hoop out with you at night, I'm sure you've run into the issue of not being allowed to hoop in certain places. There are some local bands that I love, but sometimes, I'm unable to hoop at their shows because of the venue. So, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread on hoop-friendly spots in FL. We may also want to list places that won't allow it. I think this will be a beneficial resource for us, so please contribute to this thread when you have a chance :) I'll start with my area...

Hoop-Friendly Spots in St. Pete, Clearwater & Tampa:
- The Blueberry Patch in Gulfport
- Treasure Island Drum Circle (Sundays on the beach)
- The Garage (DT St. Pete)
- Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa
- Rare Olive (DT St. Pete)
- Dunedin Brewery (outside, as space is limited indoors - but you can still hear the music)
- Yeoman's Pub (on Davis Island/ Tampa... space inside is limited but you can hoop outside and still hear the music)
- Honey Pot (Ybor City)
- Czar (Ybor City)
- The Castle (Ybor City)
- Cafe Alma (DT St. Pete)
- Clearwater Drum Circle (Sat evenings - fire spinning is permitted)

Places I've Gotten in Trouble with My Hoop:
- Push Ultra Lounge (DT St. Pete)
- Gator's (St. Pete Beach - watch out for the big, fat bouncer - he's a jerk)
* I'm sure there are more spots, but I'm drawing a blank. Will post again if I think of more.
