“Strawberry watermelon pear infusion should be permanently on the menu, simply one of the most amazing things I’ve had!“
“Absolutely top notch experiences last week with Thirsty Buffalo Brew Factory and Havana Dreamers’ menu offerings and event services! The metal and concrete industrial vibe combined with wooden features and white walls makes the factory aesthetic a cool but also inviting place to spend some time with friends for wing night or with family and friends eating, drinking, and celebrating for a special event! Mike, Erin, Rudy, and Arlisa welcomed me and my ideas with open arms for two events in their dock room, which comfortably holds 30-40 people. They were easy to communicate with, stayed true to their word, and made sure that our hearts and bellies were satisfied! Check out the details below or just go to check out their space! Note that both businesses have 2 locations- this one is on Success Dr off of SR 54 in Trinity/Odessa- it’s at the front of and industrial park which makes it very chill but also pretty unique! My only regret- in all the hustle and bustle- I didn’t get enough photos of the beautiful people, the space, or the amazing food at either event! (Always designate a photographer when you are in charge of events 😉) First, they were ready for 25 teachers of every age to enjoy some beverages and wings on Wednesday wing night for our DKG end-of-year gathering and meeting. Our bartender, Dani, who is also a teacher, was as perfect as possible with service and smiles! The wings made my Buffalo Girl heart proud! Now, if you’ve ever celebrated with a group of teachers, you know it can get pretty loud with laughter and crazy stories- the dock room was a perfect place for us because it offered some privacy while still being in the mix of the bar! Next, we had my daughter’s graduation celebration in the dock room and it was a blast! Rudy and Arlisa, with Havana Dreamers, provide the menu regularly at the Factory but they also cater events- every tray and platter was amazing- from the perfect ranch on the veggie tray to the Cubans that you HAVE to try (we had a brunch Cuban, the Tampa Cuban, and the well-loved Godfather!), pastry perfection, pretzel bits and beer cheese, and biscuits and perfect gravy! Our friends and family got to visit, celebrate, play all the games they have to offer to any customer, and enjoy the best food and drinks around! The Rambler is the best amber around and the Get Ya Day Started was great for a brunch-time celebration! It was a high school graduation, with kids, so they also offered a ton of sodas and teas- from Jaritos and birch beer bottles to large cans of Coca Cola products. We also had a coffee station provided with the food- perfect Cuban coffee! Our bartenders were part of the party, too, because they were so personable and attentive- thanks to Chris who delivered picture-perfect hospitality from the moment we walked in until we left with smiles, and to Shayna for her support and humor! Long story that could be longer: Check out this spot- they have fun planned most days of the month (that you can see on the website). They have great listing of beers on tap (big fan of the Rambler). The food is a Cuban and Buffalo- staples mix: poutine, wings, and Nickel City Cubans, in addition to a mix of traditional bar offerings and Cuban deliciousness! You can even check out how the Brew Factory works- open air brewing in the back of the house! Hope to see you there!“
“We had a great time today with Nathan! Very personable and attentive! Thank you Nathan for making our visit enjoyable.“
“Been coming here for a couple of years. Never a bad day. Love that it's pet friendly. Kombucha is the most refreshing in tampa bay. Taste everything before picking your own. Grab a drink and work cafe style. Something about the place keeps you at peace. Pineapple Kombucha is the best.“
“The Poolside Sour is a sour for people who don't drink them and somehow one for those that love them
It's accessible, flavorful, refreshing
It's well deserved for world beer cup winner
The rest of the beers I tasted were absolutely solid and good examples of their style and profile,
Can't wait for the new bigger spot but this is worth it until then!!“
“I had the Kiss of Darkness porter at Deviant Libation—hands down the best porter I’ve ever had. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Tim, the owner, is awesome—super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the craft. Great vibe, great beer. Highly recommend checking this place out!“
“The best bar by far in Fl!! Owners are awesome people as well as there amazing bartenders! Feels like home every time we are there. Definitely recommend checking it out!!“
“Awesome venue!! Very cool Place to hang out with friends and spend sometime!“
“From PA. Had really excellent brews. Will come back next time in Tampa!“
“Cute spot for a respite while touring Ybor City. Back patio with free roaming roosters and chickens. Game selection, amble sized bar. Not sure if there is food but good selection of draft items. Pro Tip: take a break from your tour here oh and take the free trolley from downtown Tampa.“
“We had our Holiday party hosted at Barrie Haus and it was phenomenal! We worked with Bethanie to coordinate everything from food, drinks at a private bar for our guests, to the preference for blocked off space for our party. It's a great location and nice atmosphere! Thanks BarrieHaus!“
“From PA. Had really excellent brews. Will come back next time in Tampa!“
“Awesome beers, great flavors. Megan was a friendly bartender!“
“While I did not enjoy the atmosphere as much as others, the beer options are refreshing and on-point, especially for the Tampa climate. The building is historic, which I am thankful it was fully restored. The place is somewhat claustrophobic, but they can’t help what they got in their lease (and it was a fire station long ago too). I also think the place is cliquish, so I suggest going on a day or time when it wouldn't be busy. I am still looking forward to going back and trying some of their other brews.“
“This is our happy place! Awesome beer and even better people 🥰“
“I hosted my husband’s 40th surprise party this weekend and it was fantastic! The private room was perfect, the service was excellent and everyone raved about the food! Couldn’t ask for a better venue to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Thank you Tyler and team!!“
“First time visiting. Brought the pup for barktoberfest. Good beer selection. The Enter the Fest festbier was very good. Fun atmosphere. We’ll be back.“
“I have waited for so long to try her food!! And it was worth the wait! it was just as I expected perfect!!!“
“Best IPA in Florida. The Pilsner is amazing too! I really do have a pallet for well crafted beers 🍻. I look forward to trying the cream brew“
“Great place to stop and have a craft beer. Food truck available if you need to get a bit.“
“Great beer !!! Great times !“
“Awesome place for a company party! Great food and great cold beer! We love this place!“
“Excellent local beer selection. Knowledgeable bartenders. Great little atmosphere.“
“This brewery is beautiful and skillfully crafted. All of the beers are amazing! The food is house made, including stuffed cheese burgers, drunken shrimp, and beer cheese dip with a pretzel. Our service was outstanding and everyone was great to chat with. I would like to suggest vegetarian options, a local fish, instead of catfish, and "green ware", for the planet. Not a fan of styrofoam..“
“I can’t say enough good things about Crooked Thumb Brewery in Safety Harbor, Florida! This place is an absolute gem for beer lovers and anyone looking for a laid-back, fun vibe. They always have an excellent rotation of beers brewed right on-site, so there’s something new and delicious to try every time I visit. From crisp IPAs to smooth stouts, their creativity and quality never disappoint—every sip is a testament to their craft.
The atmosphere takes it to another level with live music on most days, performed on their outdoor stage. It’s the perfect way to unwind—sipping a cold, fresh beer while enjoying talented local musicians under the Florida sky. The staff is friendly, the setting is cozy yet lively, and it’s just an all-around fantastic spot to hang out with friends or even go solo. If you’re in Safety Harbor, Crooked Thumb is a must-visit. Five stars all the way! Also love the music of John Kyle Rhodie!!“

“Great job @mikesellmeyer and his staff!“
“Hats off to the friendly staff! We were Florida July Sunshine hot after 1.5 hours at Tampa Bay Downs Golf Range and were looking forward to a cool TBBC brew and some ice water. Ginger was our server, awesome, she was perfect. We will be requesting her tables any time we return. She was kindly patient with us as we got our act together, ordered the ESPE Blonde and my better half greatly enjoyed the “The Last Days of Summer” sour. The food was surprisingly fantastic! They also have wood fire pizzas, which we will returning to try. Highly recommend!“
“Great place! Im British and was really craving fish and chips. The fish chips and mushy peas was lovely! I’m so pleased to have this gem near where I live in Westchase. The only thing that’s missing is Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding and sticky toffee pud. If you did that on a Sunday I would be soooo happy!“
“Awesome place for a company party! Great food and great cold beer! We love this place!“
