Entry No. 17 — the Tampa file — filed under: speakeasy

Bar Chica

Hidden down a back hallway behind an unmarked door inside Bodega, this tiny 18-seat cocktail lounge features dark blue walls, gold tables, and a rum-focused menu.

The move: Grab a pressed Cuban sandwich at Bodega's front window, then slip through the back barn door into Bar Chica for a rye Florida Sour while vintage cartoons project on the wall.
