Three venues · Three teams
Pick the venue that sounds like you.
The stage
Two years to build the stage.
Three distinct venues in one historic building, and two years from an idea to an opening. Not a renovation and not a rebrand. Each venue was written from nothing, then built.
Icrave designed the interiors. Journey designed the architectural lighting. SJ Lighting is the theatrical consultant on Boogie Heights.
For all three, 1701 North Franklin is their first project in Tampa. Unlike firms that pursue volume, iCrave and SJ Lighting are known for carefully curating their project portfolios. Their work is reserved for hospitality concepts where exceptional design, guest experience, and long-term impact are central to the vision.
Every arch, every sightline, every angle of a booth back was intentional. We are hoping to raise expectations for what a night out in Tampa can be.
A beautiful room has never once said good evening.
Guests remember how the night felt, and that is decided by whoever is standing in front of them. The venues are built. The rest is you.
How hiring works
Four steps, start to opening night.
Step one
One form
Ten minutes, one application for all three venues. A person reads every one.
Step two
A real conversation
Twenty minutes, both directions. We will ask what you want out of this, and we mean it.
Step three
Training
Because we open together, everyone trains together. Product, service standards, your room and your station.
Step four
An answer
Once you have completed the training program, you get a clear yes or no. Silence is not a hiring practice.
Tell us where you fit.
One application covers every open front- and back-of-house role in the building. Pick your venue on the way in.
