1983 Restaurant, Bar & Arcade — South Tampa

1983 is on South MacDill Avenue in South Tampa, a short drive from Hyde Park Village according to its own site. The location page publishes each day’s hours and weekend brunch times. The concept combines an American restaurant, bar and arcade, with TVs across the dining room, bar and patio. Its sports calendar lists every NFL and college-football game, every Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Florida Gators matchup, weekend Premier League and broadcasts for NHL, NBA, UFC and major events. Groups can reserve a private bay with a projector screen separately.

The kitchen serves from lunch into the evening, with brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. The current menu brings together wings in seven sauces, a chicken-tender tower, nachos, Angus burgers, a Cuban sandwich, flatbreads, sushi rolls, salads, bowls and dinner plates; drinks include local craft beer and classic and non-alcoholic cocktails. The Lunch Box is listed at $20, while happy-hour pages show draft beer and selected food specials, but both may change. The arcade includes classic games and golf simulators, so the broadcast shares space with activities for families and groups.

The official FAQ is clear on logistics: reservations are available and the location page lists on-site and street parking, while the FAQ says there is no private lot. As the wording may refer to shared spaces, confirm with the venue which parking is available. On weekends or Bucs game days, arriving early reduces parking uncertainty. Reviews displayed on the venue’s site and Google mention the broad menu, family-friendly feel, patio and active game room; as with any busy venue, wait times can vary by time and event. The official site links Instagram and Facebook, lists a phone number and maintains separate menu and events pages. Check the matchup and current menu before going, especially if you want to hear a particular broadcast.
