Experience the 1920s at Red Phone Booth new Tampa location, the latest addition to their nationwide speakeasy-inspired venues.
The 1920s-inspired speakeasy chain, Red Phone Booth, recently unveiled plans for a new location in Tampa, Florida. This marks the second franchise partnership in Florida for the brand, following their Miami opening in the Brickell area. The Tampa location is the sixth of its kind in the United States, joining others in Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, and Miami.
Originating in Atlanta’s downtown, Red Phone Booth has become a notable name in the nightlife sector under the umbrella of Roaring Franchises. The franchise company, led by Stephen de Haan, is renowned for its expertise in the food and beverage industry, providing extensive training and a robust franchise model.
Stephen de Haan, the brain behind Red Phone Booth and Roaring Franchises, emphasizes the brand’s commitment to delivering an exceptional Prohibition Experience. The Tampa venture, in collaboration with the Smith brothers, Michael and Scott, is a testament to this dedication.
Red Phone Booth distinguishes itself with an exclusive Prohibition-era ambiance, featuring expertly crafted cocktails and a select cigar program. Access to this unique lounge requires a secret phone number, dialed from an antique London red phone booth. The interiors are designed to transport guests back in time, with vintage decor, cozy seating, and a dim, elegant atmosphere. Each location boasts a honey onyx bar, custom Italian leather couches, and private rooms for special events, adorned with artwork from Christian Waggoner.
The bar’s mixology program is a highlight, offering a vast array of spirits, including rare finds in bourbon, whiskey, and Japanese whisky.
