Back in the 70s there was a coffee house called Tranquilo in Sulphur Springs. Once again, Tranquilo lives! It's now located at 10024 N 30th Street in Tampa, just south of Bougainvillea in a small strip center called Poinsettia Plaza.
They're doing traditional coffee house things. There's a bluegrass/folk/country jam session on Thursday evenings. There's a Christian music night on Saturday. There's a pot luck dinner and open mike on Sunday evenings.
They serve coffee and soft drinks. They have light snacks available. WIFI is also provided for people who need internet access.
I just got home from the bluegrass jam. There was a large turnout. Anyone from beginners to professionals are invited to join in.
I'll be a semi-regular on Thursday nights. Stop by and check it out.
For more information their phone number is: (813) 977-0109

I just found out about the reincarnation of Tranquillo Coffee House.
Unfortunately I found out through the passing of a friend named Wolf Flow who used to play and actually lived at the old Tranquillo.
Anyway I am due into Tampa in early April and will definately make a visit to the new Tranquillo.
Thanks
