50 Best Bars in Tampa

“St. Pete—Literally sitting at dinner now, & our server, Enzo, has been absolutely WONDERFUL. He’s kind, knowledgable & engaging with his tables—all things I love to see in customer service areas (it can be such a lost concept!) We love Olivia (their arancini is the best we’ve ever had && my husband & I each get our own), but I’d request to sit in Enzo’s section if he’s working in the future.“

“C.1949 is a fantastic local establishment. The staff is friendly and helpful, makes everyone feel like they belong there. Everyone seems to pick up that neighborly vibe..and the options of beers on tap is great. Always some locals, some new and some unusual but always well brewed and poured up. They have fun events, karaoke and goat yoga are 2 that come to mind. I can’t say enough about how nice it is to have a local, fun, neighborhood watering hole to be able to walk or bike too.“

The atmosphere is lively, with dim lighting and sea shanties setting the mood. Drinks are creatively themed, and the staff is super friendly. A must-visit for fans of unique, immersive experiences!“

“Came here after a few years of avoiding this bar due to bad service, but Jeff totally changed my mind about this bar. He was so nice and welcoming and accommodating. As a Tampa native, I’m so happy to have met him and experienced this bar for a second time. I’ll definitely return. Jeff deserves a raise (; *hint hint*“

“No Smoking, a pool or darts. Great music 🎶 with touch tunes. Download it and come have a drink. and they also have a great grilled sandwiches by a great griller, he puts some ribs on the grill at home and then to Tappers Pub. They're good but he puts alot of seasoning, my stomach gets upset when I eat them but they're good, and that's on the first Friday of the month, and sometimes surprises. It's a great place for you catch good vibes at Tappers Pub. It's in Britton plaza, down S. Tampa, way“

“Great atmosphere! The center bar is the perfect vibe to grab a beer or cocktail to enjoy watching a game or some fresh air. Most every table is shaded, and service is fast. Definitely try a Lightning Lemonade, as it's fun to order a blue drink. Prices are a little on the higher side, but they are comparable to the area. There is normally a nice breeze off the water if a cruise ship isn't docked. Great place to grab drinks before a Lightning game or bring the dog.“

“Very active place with lots of pool games going on would definitely recommend!!!!“
