37 Best Bar & Grill in Tampa

“This was our first dining experience here at Black Rock. They did not disappoint whatsoever. From the time that we entered until we finished our meals, we were treated with excellent customer service. The Host - Tori, was very pleasant. Once seated, my wife and I received the most outstanding customer service (waitress, Hannah) that we’ve ever received when dining in quite a while. Not sure of the bartenders name, nonetheless, the drinks were very good also. The food was definitely worth the wait. The food was extremely well prepared. Hannah, thoroughly explained how to cook the steaks on the stone, then allowed us to enjoy our meal. (Thank you Chefs) Due to our outstanding experience, we will definitely be returning. As I mentioned to one of the managers there, it seems as though people will find something to complain about, but rarely take time out to say “Thank you.” I wanted to thank the entire staff for a great dining experience.“

“Best wings in town and a great place to watch college and pro football. The outdoor area is an awesome place to chill, hang with your peeps or meet new friends!“

“Awesome food and great service at the Sarasota location! Highly recommend.“

“Great place to watch your favorite Cowboys game. The staff is super courteous and do an amazing job making sure customers are good. Look forward to many more visits..“

“Love Love Love this little pub! Paul is a friendly outgoing bar owner! The karaoke DJ and live bands are phenomenal!“

“Yes I recommend Rachel's place cause it's the bestest of the bestest. 😁“

“This place is a hidden gem, we arrived to complimentary valet (please tip), there was an expected 25min wait for a table, we were texted after 11 that por table was ready. The server was very attentive, there was live music, the drinks were good, however what really compelled me to write this review is the food. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! We'd gone earlier to a place just around the corner and I was incredibly disappointed with my grouper basket. I was left wanting more and got the Smothered Fish with grouper, surprised to find I was able to select two sides, went for the baby bok choy and fried rice pictured. It was SO good, my son got the fried haddock and chips (fries), and wife had two of the salmon rolls. All of the food was absolutely incredible, this place is doing it right and in the middle of a renovation nonetheless. As an added bonus, my son got desert for his birthday, key lime pie was also delicious!“

“We ate here last Sat night excellent server and the food was great. I had the tuna my wife had a fillet both were great. Of the smoky maple old fashioned was excellent…“

“We just ordered for a 5 people work lunch via Uber Eats all getting different dishes and they were all tasty. I had the Club and the bread was buttery and toasty and the onion rings were on point, but the sauce they come with is next level. Most importantly there were some special instructions on the order, sub this, remove that, add please and they did not miss a single note!! Impressive on that alone. Portions are generous. Will def order again.“

“Tuesday night is the best.... First Caesar runs the best trivia night in Tampa! Then... Immediately after Rock After Dark jams the greatest karaoke show on earth!“

“This may not be in any tourist guide, but it should be. The place is iconic and a great place to watch the game, meet up at the end of the day, or just escape from a house full of guests that won't leave. The food is excellent, especially the Garlic Parmesan wings and there are plenty of beers on tap.“

“Great Bar and Restaurant!“

“This is a quality American-Bar food joint. The tap menu is substantial and you will find a beer style that works for you. Our squad of four all offered different plates and they were all cleared. I had the wings and they were good. I would have liked a little more effort in coating the wings in hot sauce.

If you’re here ask for Jayde to serve you. She’s really sweet and gives the right amount of attention and service.

I don’t live in Tampa but I’d come back here on another trip.“

“Love this place. The food is delicious. We are locals and visit multiple places and the burgers and tacos are soooo good and reasonably priced. Staff is very friendly and excellent service! Check it out for sure!“

“Best bar in all of Tampa. Bartenders and staff treat you like family. The food is unlike any other regular bar food. Yes it’s bar food, but it’s bar food with a palate. The chef here always goes above and beyond on their dishes. You also have to try their weekly specials 🤤 10/10 great place for a quick date, or to come hangout with friends, any day of the week 🤙🏽“

“Great place to enjoy yourself and have great drinks and food and just socialize with positive people!!😎😁😎😁😎😁“

“here for a layover and came based on the reviews. The fried gator tail appetizer really hit the spot and was nice and tender. even accompanied by nice fresh greens and remoulade. the princess ulele caiparinha drink has to be the best bang for your buck and was the perfect layover drink after getting my seat kicked by the kid behind me for the last 3.5 hours. Heather and Patty provided great service and were very personable. highly recommend“

“Great service and amazing food!!“

“Best dive bar, great service and friendly people! Highly recommend“

“A little recommendation….while attending the concert last night (8/10/23) at Mid-Florida Amphitheater we stayed at the Embassy Suites in Brandon. We are Hilton people so staying at their family of hotels is always our first choice. But I have to tell you, this Embassy Suites takes customer service to the next level. From Matthew who checked us in, to Gina the bartender, to Mike and Millie who made our breakfast, to Chad the General Manager, they did not miss one opportunity to make sure we were completely satisfied. A bonus was that the hotel was a $12 Uber ride to the Amphitheater. If you can swing it, stay here when your attend your next concert.“

“Great food wonderful atmosphere. Great live music“

“Sophia is the best waitress I have ever had. She remembered me and my go to drink I had over 3 weeks ago. She immediately asked me if that was what I wanted and brought it out to me promptly. She is very attentive and memorable. Incredible waitress.“

“I was so impressed by Todd, your front desk associate. He was always very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He addressed each and every issue/question I had immediately and was always receptive, attentive, and very courteous. He even remembered my name after just one time talking to him. I usually don't write reviews, but I was so impressed by his customer service skills that I had to make a review. No days exceptional customer service is hard to find if not non-existent. Please let Todd know that it didn't go unnoticed and it was greatly appreciated.“

“great sandwiches, atmosphere decent and waitress very upbeat“

“I loved the tacos! The meal was filling. I love getting my foodie desires met with their various entrees.“

“Went to dagwoods for the first time the other night and i gotta say the service was phenomenal and the food was delicious! The kind atmosphere and professionalism from the bartender Gabby was something that will definitely make me come back for another night of fun!“

“Played here many years great action Great dealers and great food“

“my favorite spot! great drinks great food great vibe!! Monday Friday Saturday ❤️“

“Anchor Tavern is and always has been the cheers of bars -- both welcoming of locals as well as visitors. The food is always delicious and consistent and the bartenders treat you like family. If you want to feel welcome and immediately like you're at your neighborhood bar -- go to anchor.“

“Everything was spectacular, I would recommend seasoning the meats with some marinade to make it more palatable because there was only a very small amount of salt on the meats but the cooking, the service and the atmosphere were excellent. I wish you much success.??“

“We had two meals here, a proper dine-in dinner and breakfast to go. The food was adequate and tasty enough for a Hyatt restaurant near the airport. This is quite a large Hyatt with two towers so the place was pretty busy but not overwhelmed. There were no long waits. The service crew was friendly and appropriate but nothing over the top in terms of warmth and affability... if that's a word even.. they kept my debit card too which I didn't discover until we were long gone; only mildly inconvenient with today's technology.“

“The food was great…Waitress was good also“

“Had a great time at Louie's Bar“

“My server was Thalia!! She was very attentive to whatever I needed from the moment I stepped into the restaurant! Very kind and helpful with suggestions as well! She impressed me with naming all the sauces and even the dry rubs options available! Happy customer :) I will be returning!“

“We`re proud to have Southern Belle as one of our top-rated partner venues for our line-up of bar crawls this season. Always a great place to party. Friendly staff and bartenders, amazing food and drinks. Come join us.“

“The place is nice and area is cool. The manager Joe came in and got things going the right way. I appreciate it. Bartender Amy help out to resolve my issue as well. People like that is the only reason I would come back. When i am Tampa again.“
