As a result of this influx of college students, the town itself caters to a mix of young adults as well as families.

The nightlife is very diverse in Downtown Lakeland. On a standard night, the locals can sample Cuban, Irish, New Orleans, and sports bars. The hot dog stand is absolutely clutch in this town as it helps stop a hangover and serves any topping you want including chili and cheese.

Brewz Crewz is a must as the city closes down its streets to cars, so that hundreds of people can participate in drinking as many beers as possible in public. Lakeland is known also for closing off downtown streets at night for first friday.
Want to stop off in Lakeland and eat as many chili cheese dogs and pipos as possible?
