Tampa’s Westshore district is about to get a new late-night hangout. The Sapphire, a supper club promising live bands, DJs and plenty of tableside flair, is targeting a spring opening at 4410 W Boy Scout Boulevard. The team is pitching the spot as an experience-forward return to the old-school supper club, complete with elevated dining, private suites and nightly entertainment, with the public debut expected in late May.
What The Sapphire Is Selling
On its website, The Sapphire calls itself "where modern luxury meets dynamic entertainment" and teases a menu framed as "a study in contrast and refinement," with small plates, globally sourced seafood, rare prime cuts and seasonal delicacies built for sharing. The private-dining section highlights private suites and tableside performance as core parts of the experience.
Opening Timeline And Menu Teasers
A representative told WhatNow it is still too early to drop specific menu items but promised an "upscale, luxurious" focus on hospitality. That same report notes that the team is aiming to open to the public in late May.
Permits And The Space
City records show an alcoholic-beverage permit application for the address, file AB1-26-03, a standard step toward on-site beer, wine and liquor service, according to the City of Tampa CARES newsletter. The Sapphire’s future home sits inside TriPointe Plaza, a mixed retail strip directly across from International Plaza, per commercial listings on LoopNet.
Where It Fits
The Sapphire is arriving as supper-club-style concepts make a comeback in Tampa, with operators leaning into live entertainment, private rooms and late-night dining to pull in both office crowds and night owls, Q105 reported last year. If the late-May target holds, it will land among a growing set of spots that treat performance and hospitality as co-stars with the food.
For updates, The Sapphire is collecting names for an "Inner Circle" and event list on the The Sapphire website. Expect reservation details and opening-night plans to roll out over the coming weeks as the late-May launch approaches.
