There's not that much happening in the Tampa Bay restaurant scene...just a joke. Put that on your plate.

Here's a roundup of what's going on with your local restaurants, bars, and coffee shops.

The second Doc Ford's Rum Bar and Grille location opens on Friday. The new Jungle Terrace spot features covered seating right on the picturesque Boca Ciega Bay.
Tampa's first drive-thru location, Chipotlane is now open, according to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay. But there's a catch, the location (8301 N. Dale Mabry Hwy.) only takes online or mobile orders.
Calling all Blind Tiger devotees. The speakeasy-themed coffee and tea spot recently opened a new location in the Tampa City Center building. Next year, the shop is opening up in International Plaza + St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital.
Grand Central's Old Key West Bar & Grill is on the market. The bar will stay open until the sale.
There's still time for one more pint. But St. Pete's Avid Brewing plans to close its doors before the end of the year. Celebrate the bar's closing at its NYE Bash.
