Tucked away in a well-treed lot with more than parking spaces, the Bridge Center of Tampa Bay is just about the only place in town to participate in organized bridge competition. The Web site is very helpful and should be consulted for more details. There is an outdoor lounging area in the back of the building where you could strike up a game, weather permitting.
The Pasadena Card Club provides a place for Gulfport residents to play Bridge and Pinochle with other members of the community. Reduced prices are provided with membership. The club can help newcomers find partners to play with. Large Bridge games are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
