Boogie Heights, a retro dance hall built around 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s music, is coming to the second floor of 1701 N. Franklin St. in Tampa Heights, the building that housed The Hall on Franklin. The owners have promised weekend DJ sets, live performances and late-night events. As of November 2, no opening date has been announced.
That's So Tampa reported that the group behind it, Al Rogers, Joshua Pardue, Dor Haim, Enrique DeJesus and Robert Stern, also runs Hail Mary Social Club and Uno Más Taqueria.
What Boogie Heights will look like
The design studio is ICRAVE, with architecture by TVS Design and lighting by SJ Lighting. That's So Tampa describes the theme as "Escapist Celebration": disco glamour with velvet, mirrors and neon, plus retro booths and a high-fidelity sound system.
The building's own site, thefranklintpa.com, describes the room as seventies, eighties and nineties disco with doors at nine, cocktails and table service. It also claims the largest disco ball in Florida.
The rest of the building
- Uno Más: a street-level taqueria with a bar and dining room called La Cantina, which has live music Tuesday to Sunday on its stage. Its site lists it as opening fall 2026.
- Hail Mary Social Club: a sports bar built around one circular LED screen, with three rooms, weekend brunch and a late-night bar.
The Tampa Bay Times reported in March that all three concepts were set to open in the building soon. Earlier coverage pointed to early 2026, and later reports to late summer and fall.
What to watch
For a DJ-driven room, the details that matter are still to come: the opening date, the resident DJs and whether there is a cover. The building's site is already taking job applications for all three venues. Follow Boogie Heights on Instagram for the opening announcement.
