Tampa's Living History

Sea Wolf

A Community Archive

The Sea Wolf was more than a restaurant. It was a place where people met, worked, fell in love, made lifelong friendships, got into trouble, and created stories they still remember decades later.

Our Mission

Before the **Memories** Fade

This website was created when we started talking about our memories at the Sea Wolf and realized there were probably hundreds of other people who had stories to tell. What a great time we will have reading them all! We would love to have your memories.

Gene Holloway

And of course we have to talk about Gene Holloway

You can never run out of stories about Gene - now this is where it gets crazy!

Servers and Hostess can sure tell some stories about what happened in the dining rooms (yes there were 4 dining rooms). We sat 684 people and held over 200 parties waiting to eat, it was so busy.

Everyone wanted a window seat

If you lived in Tampa you brought visitors to the Sea Wolf and of course you asked for a window seat.

Front Desk Stories

Man do we have some stories from the Front Desk.

It was never boring at the front desk that's for sure. From the Macaw bird drinking Jack Daniels to everyone thinking Gene was Kenny Rodgers. Man we had a good time checking people in at the front desk.
