Major League Baseball (MLB) is starting back up with regular season games later this month; becoming the first major professional sports league to resume play amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an exciting development in the sports world, which has been relatively quiet since March. Opening Day(s) are July 23rd and July 24th.

Carmine's Ybor plans to be open for business for the beginning of the MLB regular season and beyond, offering a safe and fun atmosphere to support our local Tampa Bay Rays and other teams across the country.

The Rays take on the Blue Jays at home on July 24th. First pitch is scheduled at 6:40 PM local time.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected practically every corner of the globe; our country and community are no exception. In these unprecedented times, we have seen once again the resilience and altruism of our country and the local Tampa area. At Carmine's Ybor, we have dedicated ourselves to continue to serve our loyal customers and community.

Over the past week or so, the number of COVID-19 cases in Hillsborough County and the State of Florida have increased significantly. That said, Carmine's Ybor is still open for business, but we are taking every precaution necessary, including the following of local, state, and federal (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines as closely as possible, to protect our employees and guests from the COVID-19 virus.

Even in these challenging times, one thing is certain. We, as a community, will persevere.

The Fourth of July Holiday is among us and it is usually a time of patriotism and festivity. This year; however, our country (and the entire world) has been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, Carmine's Ybor will be open for business during regular hours for the holiday weekend. Various precautions will be taken to protect both employees and guests from the virus at Carmine's Ybor.

Due to the pandemic, this year's Independence Day celebrations will inevitably be different from previous years. Still, Carmine's Ybor is dedicated to providing a fun and safe atmosphere for the Fourth of July holiday.

Carmine's Ybor is located in the historic downtown of Ybor City; only a 10 minute drive from downtown Tampa, Florida. The restaurant and bar is renowned for its authentic cuisine and is home of one of the best Cuban Sandwiches in Tampa.
