Amalie Arena Vegan Options 2024 (Tampa Bay Lightning)

We’re hoping the bits of information we have compiled can give you some direction when visiting Amalie Arena for an event or Tampa Bay Lightning game.

I say bits because we have not been able to confirm additional options with the arena.

If you are questioning if you can play it safe and bring your own food in, we list their bag and food policies below.

Finally, we have a few recommendations for highly-rated vegan-friendly restaurants located close to the stadium that are definitely worth checking out.

Vegan Options at Amalie Arena

We’ve reached out to Amalie Arena multiple times, but haven’t received any responses from anyone at the arena yet so here is the little bit of information we could put together…

Snack Shack. There are two locations on the Promenade Level and two on the Trane Terrace Level.
Portside Grill. This food vendor is ONLY available to guests on the Tampa Bay Club Level only — Section 218.

Portside Place. This food vendor is ONLY available to guests on the Tampa Bay Club Level only — Section 214.

Italian Pasta & Salad^

^We have NOT confirmed any vegan options here but it may be worth asking if any of the pastas or salads are vegan or can be made vegan.

Moschella’s — Section 108

Burger^

The burger at Ford’s Garage says it is vegetarian. The link to more information on the arena’s website does not work. We suggest asking for more details. This “could be” an option.

Ford’s Garage — Section 109 & 301

We suggest reading the food & beverage information below before deciding how you want to plan for the event you are attending. If you see any options we do not have or can confirm any, please let us know!

Vegan Options Near Amalie Arena

Farmacy Vegan Kitchen + Bakery

803 N Tampa St, Tampa, FL 33602

Located less than a mile north of the arena is the Farmacy Vegan Kitchen + Bakery. This is really cool and unique spot that not only serves up everything from Donuts to Philly Cheese Steaks, they also have grab-n-go meals and a selection of groceries.

From the reviews we read, this appears to be more of a quick take out but they do have a few small tables inside and outside if you can grab one.

Florish

2307 S Dale Mabry Hwy Suite A, Tampa, FL 33629

About 4 miles from the arena is a 100% vegan restaurant with signature pizzas, beautiful bowls and sides like loaded potato wedges, chicken & roasted veggies. Then to round out the menu, Florish offers a couple of cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth.
