New Pizzeria Coming To Sparkman Wharf

Pizza Concept To Replace Former Beer Garden

If you've paid a visit to Sparkman Wharf in Downtown Tampa, you've probably stopped by "Fermented Reality" for a quick beer, cider, or glass of wine. The centrally located brew-concept has been a staple since the inception of Sparkman Wharf, but it turns out August may be your last month to enjoy its libations.

Apparently, the last day of the beer garden's lease is August 29th - and owners do not plan to renew. A relocation is apparently in the works, but Strategic Property Partners also plan to open a second location in Ybor City. Owners have also teased a January 2022 date as the potential opening for this second location.

Good news, however - Guy Revelle, who opened Splitsville on Channelside, plans to install a pizzeria/beer/wine counter in Fermented Reality's place. If confirmed, this would certainly be a welcome replacement for the beloved beer garden - and would still give visitors a chance to partake in alcoholic beverages along the gorgeous waterfront.
