The Ritz Ybor, Music venue and theater in Ybor City, Tampa, United States.
The Ritz Ybor spans over 17,000 square feet with three distinct rooms: the Royal Room, Rivoli Room, and Theatre Ballroom featuring a 25 by 44-foot stage.
Architect M. Leo Elliott designed this entertainment venue in 1917 as the Rivoli Theatre, which initially served Tampa's Afro-Cuban community with silent movies and residential apartments.
The Grand Foyer connects all three main rooms and maintains its original terrazzo floors, Art Deco mirrors, and wall sconces from the early 20th century design.
Located three miles from downtown Tampa, the venue accommodates 1,114 people and offers multiple bars, VIP tables, and an extensive stage for various performances.
The building transformed from a silent movie theater to an adult cinema, then a nightclub called The Masquerade before becoming The Ritz Ybor after a $2 million renovation in 2008.
