The Ritz Ybor

I can’t say enough good things about The Ritz Ybor! From the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make sure our experience was smooth, stress free, and enjoyable. What really stood out to me is how accommodating they were with my 1-year-old. Instead of turning us away, they welcomed us and made sure we were comfortable and safe in the VIP section in case the GA area got too crowded. That level of kindness and flexibility is rare, and it made the night so much more special. The atmosphere was incredible, the venue was beautiful, and the staff showed true professionalism mixed with genuine care. They turned what could have been a stressful situation into a wonderful memory. If you’re looking for a venue that not only delivers on music, vibe, and service but also goes above and beyond to take care of their guests, The Ritz Ybor is the place to be.

I went to The Ritz to see Madison Ryan Ward in concert. Everything was amazing. The set up of the floor, I love that they opened up the balcony seating so we weren't jam packed at the bottom, the music, lights and production was amazing but I didnt understand why they were serving liquor at the bar for a religious based concert. I dont even think I really saw anyone drinking liquor but that didn't fit the occasion in my opinion. Free will is free will though I guess.

A fun place to check out your favorite music artists and DJs. The venue is spacious with various rooms, including a chill smoke room. There are a few bathrooms at this place, so be prepared to wait in line. The security is on point here. I've seen them escort many fools out without making a ruckus. Drinks are averagely priced and I don't believe they host any happy hours or specials at the bar, at least not the times I've been.

The venue is pretty nice. Good amount of security. Drink prices are a little high. They want you to upgrade to VIP for sections that don't necessarily feel like VIP areas. I would definitely go back for another concert.

Use false advertisement to sell tickets and rushed the show due to double booking shows. Never had a bad experience here till the Freddie Gibbs tour that they said The Alchemist joined. They announced on all socials and updated tour posters. As it got closer to the show i noticed they removed The Alchemists name from the posters yet didnt address him not performing. At show time Freddie Gibbs says hes not here. Had the venue been honest over selling tickets i would have gone to the Orlando show where he did infact perform. Not only this, but they had a show at 10pm so we got a 30 minute rushed set from Gibbs where he kept saying we dont have much time. What a dissapointment. Will start just going to Janus Live, Orpheum, or Orlando and never support this one.

Lights and sound were great. Didn't go to the bar so can't comment there. Very small and intimate venue. Bathrooms were dirty and missing toilet paper and paper towels - we were one of the first handful of people inside to use the bathroom when they opened the doors too. We immediately went to the higher railing section on the left and got right to the front as we were one of the first to enter when doors opened. Throughout the event a group of VIPs kept pushing us and others to get up on the railing. Eventually they got security to come up to us and asked us to move back to let them up there. When we brought up that we were there first, security lied and said they had been watching the whole time and that we needed to move.

Good venue, brought our little guy to his first Aquabats show he loved the Kofdin Kats but man when the bat commander and eagle bones stepped out he lost it! Was such a magical bucket list thing for me to see him jamming to these guys. 25 yrs of following them and seeing the commander shake my lil guys hand when he was rocking his cadet uniform made the night for me. Definitely will go anytime they're in town. But this venue is good has a small raised area to the side they use for families with kiddos. Multiple bars it's fun

Great venue, they take their alcohol selling seriously and are on top of under age drinkers which is great. They have good sets and nice roof lights.
