New Harbour Island restaurant fills a void

American Social opened in November on Tampa’s Harbour Island, bolstering the city’s surprisingly low number of waterfront restaurants. And it offers more than a killer view.

With an impressive beer selection and creative cocktail list, it’s sure to please adventurous drinkers. The Tijuana Social cocktail cools the heat of jalapeño with vodka, Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur, ginger beer and fresh citrus. The Razzberry Cucumber Tea pairs iced tea and cucumber with raspberry vodka.

Sharing plates, like fresh poke tuna or raw oysters, are best enjoyed on the expansive patio. This is definitely a worthwhile stop along the Riverwalk.
