I was disappointed that they didn't have pumpkin spice latte brewery but ended up with pumpkin mead which is good. Love our server, Angel who knows ASL to communicate with us. Bravo! Will be coming back more often during cooler season.“

“Excellent place!!! Great atmosphere!! Service is fantastic, especially Nic!!“

“This place is special! I went to check the food truck (Got Lobster), and stayed for over an hour just hanging out with all the pups running around and having fun. It was so relaxing and fun!“

“Stopped in during the day based on reviews and was not disappointed. The cheap beer, dive bar environment, and awesome staff and regulars. Do yourself a favor and stop in a time or two and have a great time. We'll be going back whenever we get back from Missouri to visit Tampa. Simply a great place, thanks!“

“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.“

“Great environment and great staff. Y’all should check it out if you haven’t“

“awesome place to throw a few back with cool bartenders. best burger in Tampa, the All American burger.“

“went last night for 1st time very nice . I will be back“

“Affordable, friendly, safe environment, and great music.“

“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.“

“Went for open mic... great people! Warm and welcoming!“

“Sail Plaza is a fantastic stop if you’re exploring downtown Tampa or strolling the Riverwalk, which is how we found it. Its waterfront location makes it a great place to relax with a cold drink and enjoy beautiful views of the river.
We loved the laid-back, open-air setup with plenty of outdoor seating and the lively yet casual atmosphere. The drink selection is strong, from refreshing craft cocktails to cold beers, and the bar staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The food options are solid too, with great comfort foods and seafood-centric bites from Big Ray’s Fish Camp right next door on the Riverwalk.“

“A real BAR“

“This place has a great atmosphere. One side of the restaurant is more family friendly with live music and good food to enjoy. The other side I would say is more for adults. Good music, hookahs and delicious drinks. Always encounter great people and lots of fun!“

“Grabbed a bite to kill some time before our cruise. Boneless chicken wings were huge and very good. Almost couldn’t finish em. Definitely recommend.“

“Oh Yes yes .. it's always a good time at bigfoots every time I perform there before so nice I love when they participate in sing along with me on the songs that they love to hear me play yes let's do it again and again good times on the river“

“The staff friendly and nice“

“Good food, good energy good people“

“Well, as a bird, I wasn't allowed in. But staring through the window I wish I wasn't. Everyone was having a great time. They did throw me a few fries and they were delicious!“

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

“This will always be my go-to bar. I'm a local. I love everybody in there and everybody loves me. When I first moved to Ybor City I went to an Italian restaurant and a guy in there said son. You really want to get a a drink at the Rez, at the time I really didn't understand what that meant and then I figured it out when I have been going there for the last 19 months. It really is One of a kind 💯❤️🥰“

“First of all it was beautiful inside and out. We loved our lunch, delicious! I had the brunch flatbread. It was full of amazing flavors. I would suggest anyone ordering this, order without the paper underneath. As I cut the flatbread the paper tore and I'm pretty sure I ate some paper. Loved and bought a sampler of green tea. The small gift shop was wonderful. Lots of unique things. The bookstore ,was delightful . I bought the Edgar Allen Poe book. I love how you have the Classics in the exquisite covers. I would like to try the candle poring at some point. The only thing that was actually disgusting was the woman's restroom. Every trash can was overflowing, one of the stalls the toilet was clogged and water was to the top and about to spill on the floor. Also, none of the stalls that were open had any toilet paper. It really needs to be monitored at least every hour.“

“Go see LIV at Corner Bar Soho if you’re in the Tampa area!!! Hands down best bartender, she’s always smiling and is a sweetheart!!!“

“No food served here but the drinks are good and a decent price! Bartender we had was very nice and funny. Had a few conversations with us but didn’t linger. Music was at a good volume too. Not too loud but not soft either. Overall it’s a great hangout bar to go have fun with friends. There’s a pool table and darts to pass the time with also. Only one pool table though so it gets taken pretty quickly.“

“Love winners. Great food and drinks. Friendly people. You can't go wrong at winners!!! 10/10“

“Cute spot with a beautiful view of Tampa. The cocktails were delicious, and the service was perfect! Good environment good music“

“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“

“this place is amazing. the people are nice“

“Great rooftop bar in the heart of Tampa, great view and even better drinks. It wasn't crowded when we went and the weather was perfect. The bartender was a nice fellow who taught me about some cocktails. I recommend the Old Fashioned with Woodward Reserve Kentucky Bourbon. Best I've ever had!“

“After making minor allowances (it is after all a true dive bar) I think anyone will find the Steel Horse a cozy and friendly place with without a doubt the coldest and probably lowest priced beer in town.“

“Great staff and menu! Plenty of parking nearby also right off the trolley line.“

“fist time going, I'll go back nice friendly atmosphere,“

“A Wonderful Experience!! It is The Hidden Gem in South Tampa. The food is Amazing along with the Perfcet selection of Fabulous Wines and a Full Bar. The staff and Bar Owner Sam are on point with Service and interaction with making you feel a part of enjoying your experience at Bar Ten/Cheese Please. It's a must goto Hidden Gem in South Tampa!!“

“The staff was very nice and the inside the lounge was also nice. It was only a $15 cover charge to get inside.
My biggest issue was the was the music so loud inside I couldn’t hear anyone. It has very hard to just order a drink cause the bartender couldn’t hear me and I couldn’t hear her. I was writing in the notes apps, just to talk to my friends cause I couldn’t hear them. My ears were ringing when I walked out of the lounge.

The second time I went was a lot better experience. Still loud but I could talk to my friends.“

“Great service! Great beer! Introduced by Three Bulls and @Brewbus.“

“🤤🤗Amazing lunch at On Swann in Tampa today! They accommodated us with a lovely outdoor table for our dog Sofie. After our meal, our amazing server Caroline surprised us with a complimentary Bourbon Bread Pudding, which was incredible! Finishing up our Tampa tourist adventure.“

“Attended the Books and Bubbles event in November and it was fantastic! I can’t wait to come back and hang with all my new book besties!!!“

“Absolutely love the food and environment. I'm here every Friday and Saturday night! Brittany and Mary are the absolute best. Mary always goes above and beyond to make sure our food and drink orders are taken car of! My son plays Saturday mornings seems like the service isn't as outstanding as Saturday evenings. During the morning hours takes way to long to get service let alone food and drinks. The cooks seem to be a little better in the evenings as well. When here on Saturday I try to wait till the late afternoon to order haha.“

“Me gusta mucho es trankilo ocserbado por los dueños buena atención música al gusto del cliente bebidas bien frías muchachas para la buena atencion seguridad privada pera muchas personas les gusta red international Discotec“

“We absolutely love it here! The staff and owners are fantastic, the atmosphere is great, prices can't be beat.“

“Joe is a quick study! No food. Remember to scan the QR code, mega discounts, and deals!

The place was empty when I got here. Very nice atmosphere and music got better for me personally as time passed. I would suspect that it gets pretty busy due to location however I enjoyed the time I got here because crowd was not.
Decent selection of bourbon and whiskey but not overwhelming. 10 taps and predominantly IPA, not my fave but decent.
Plenty of tvs to see almost anything. ATM, touch tunes, darts, pool table and outside seating.
Multiple hightops and bar seating. Enough room to bring in Karaoke or a band.

Cigars in the corner photo as well! Missed that one!“
