Dancing
A classic American bar, Ringside Cafe offers a full liquor bar and live music seven nights a week. The real draw is the laid-back ambience and live bands typically of the blues and rock variety. The decor is simple and true to the name – old school boxing photos line the walls. Score a cold beer from the bar, kick back with a hot grouper sandwich or a plate of ribs, and give yourself over to the music. If you feel moved to dance, go for it. Otherwise, just take in the great atmosphere and celebrate the club's all-around affordable prices

Explore the fascinating and unique culture at the Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks. Exactly like it sounds, the area is home to a hotbed of docked sponge boats.
