Located at 608 N Willow Ave., the Jade at North Hyde Park apartment complex will soon welcome a new cafe and wine bar into its ground-floor space. Tango Brew, a “new coffee and wine bar with an ‘Argentinian/Italian flair’,” is opening there this summer, according to recent coverage by Creative Loafing Tampa.
“Husband-and-wife owners Christopher and Nahara Walters envision Tango Brew as a warm, inviting space where locals can meet and connect over the perfect cup of coffee or glass of wine and small bites,” says a press statement cited by CL Tampa. “The pet-friendly Tango Brew will have both indoor and outdoor seating for up to 66 people, including an outdoor bar and patio as well as a water and treat station for patrons’ dogs. Designed with an old-world, ‘speakeasy’ aesthetic and featuring Tango music, the vibe at Tango Brew will contrast with the bright lights and subway tile of many newer coffee shops in Tampa, noted Nahara Walters.”
Christopher Walters emphasized the cafe and wine bar’s focus on bringing locals together:
“We created Tango Brew to be a catalyst for creating a community for everyone who lives or works in the neighborhood,” said Walters. “At a time when it’s easy for people to become isolated, we believe in the power of places like Tango Brew to bring them together. As the North Hyde Park neighborhood in Tampa continues to grow, that’s increasingly important.”
Tango Brew will offer a breakfast menu featuring bagels, croissants, muffins, and sandwiches from a local bakery. The lunch and dinner menu will include “bar bites like chicken wings, fries, and signature Italian flatbreads with pepperoni, plant-based and other toppings.” There will also be Argentinian wines and beers, including beverages from In the Loop Brewing.
What Now reached out to Christopher Walters on Friday to inquire further about the opening. Walters was not immediately available for comment.
