50 Best Sports Bars in Tampa

“Came in after the football game, we flew in from New York and had the best experience at your location. Brooke and Jessica the 2 managers at the front door really made our day. Made us feel welcomed even though we weren’t there for the bucs they did not hold it against us. These ladies made our dining experience so wonderful we didn’t even care we had to wait for a table because it was so busy. They deserve a raise! Go JETS!!!“

“My first time here. I just wanted a quick cocktail after Christmas shopping. I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. Mind you, this was a Thursday at 9 o’clock (12/19/24). I can’t tell you more about how awesome the bartender (Ericka) was. I was the only guest at the time and she made my experience feel like one of her regulars (that she liked). 2-4-1 until 9pm. Smoking outside. I didn’t order food so I can’t speak on if it’s served. I will bring someone next time to plant Jenga or Connect 4. They do have a smart Jukebox as well as a Selfie Backdrop. Please don’t sleep on this place. They open at noon-3am. Do it, because I told you to. @staysalty“

“We saw a photo of Thomas P’s Windy City pizza on Friday and couldn’t stop thinking about it all weekend. So we made plans to order it on Sunday. To my husband and I’s surprise this pizza was perfection and looked exactly like the picture. We were not bamboozled! Oh and yeah…that ranch is 💯“

“On Wednesdays pool is free to play all day til 2am and their wings are $20/20 so good and karaoke is 9pm-1am Wednesdays and Saturdays“

“She gave excellent service, great attitude!!! 😀😃🙂“

“I don't write a lot of reviews but we went here for the first time tonight and 5 stars doesn't do it service was excellent food was delicious beer was cold and the atmosphere was perfect definitely added to our rotation of places moving forward!!“

“A variety of different foods, but I went for the wings. They were cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor (I got the hot).

I'm assuming it was the owner who was cooking, as he talked to me and insisted I try the mango habanero sauce, which I did. He also provided some french fries to try. Very friendly and super nice fellow.

Prices were good, service was great. Next time I'm going to try some of their Latin offerings.“

“😀Best place in North Tampa for some great tables, great service and great selection of cold IPA's. NO CONTEST!“

“Tonight was so fun! I have been to GenX a few times before but tonight was very busy! The staff was killing it. We had so much fun with the DJ. We had a party of 15 and we came in at 515 and spoke to Megan and Dean and even though there were many other reservations they made our party a priority. They made sure to take care of us even though they were bartending and running around with a bus tub cleaning tables. This place was so fun and so many other customers were in wigs or outfits of the GenX era. We loved the atmosphere and are so glad we had our birthday party at GenX. Please tell Megan and Dean thank you for taking such good care of us all night and the DJ was giving us life! Thanks GenX! Here's to another year around the sun. 🌞“

“Great menu, excellent specials. Friendly staff“

“Food is horrible. I ordered the Bayou pasta. It was dry and it had no seasoning. All I tasted was noodles on the first bite. O, they charge 4 dollars for extra sauce for the pasta. Like really! If you ever had food in New Orleans, you will know this ain't it. I don't know what others see in the food. Maybe each location is different. I went to the one in Rockledge/Cocoa Beach, Fl area. All I know is that next time I am "Walking On" right passed this restaurant to another one that's better.... hopefully.“

“Good drinks, great friends!“

“I was set to meet up with an old friend from high school. Neither of us had been in the area for a while. We wanted to have a couple drinks and watch the Stanley Cup Finals, and this place looked like it would fit the bill. I was pleasantly surprised. Music was a good mix! Lots of old 90s r&b and pop. Not normally my music selection, but it really worked here. A million tvs behind the bar, all lined up end to end. Great place to grab a drink, watch a game, and enjoy a great bar tender and friends.“

“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!!!“

“Carson was not our server but it was BUSYYY and she stepped in to help with the most genuine attitude & the sweetest energy about her. Even when I pointed out how amazing she was she made a point to say “we are all a big family here” being so humble. Carson made my experience here amazing :)“

“Went on 11/19. The restaurant was mostly empty aside from a few customers because it was in between lunch rush and dinner rush. We had great service and pretty good food at a decent value. My only complaint is with the quesadillas. They were a bit too rich and a tad over cooked. Otherwise, we had a great experience!“

“This place is a family favorite of ours! Every menu item is delicious. Our favorites are the chicken tenders, the shrimp platter and their burgers. $7 margaritas every day? Say less! Waiters and waitresses there start to feel more like family than employees. I’ll never forget when the manager gave us dessert on the house for my daughter’s graduation. Great place all around!!“

“food was great and drinks cold.Joey was great server.“

“I can't recommend this restaurant enough! My friend missed their cruise due to weather and was stranded in Miami on their birthday, but the manager, Jonas, and his staff, went above and beyond to make the day special. He made sure they were taken care of, arranged a personalized birthday treat, and provided amazing service. The food was fantastic, but it was the exceptional hospitality that made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!“

“What a hidden gem. Food is awesome, service is great. Drinks are amazing! Karaoke on Monday with From The Heart Entertainment Karaoke is awesome!! Had a great time! Thank you!“

“The lady's name is AMBER! She is a Bartender/Server/Great all-around person! We are new and have many iptions, but because of Amber, we chose Glory Days. Amber is always happy, knows what we want and runs circles around other Bartenders & Servers. I hope you pay her well! She could definately get more and still be the wonderful asset to Glory Days!“

“I went there and then here's what I have when I paid for dinner. One of the Hooters girls just thanked me and made the outing special. Erin is her name she works at this location North Tampa Hooters.“

“The atmosphere is great and employees are very friendly …and you can have a good time there“

“Our group was having fun at a wwe event and the guys behind us were cutting up with us. We are from daytona and Brythom asked us to stop by his bar. An Irish pub and me yes please. We had a blast super clean, super chill and great people. Would a hundred percent come back. Thank you to the Paddywagon family. The owner is a stand up guy and they have Bob how could you go wrong.“

“It was nice to see the restaurant busy on Tuesday 3/26/24. Unfortunately, we left after 15+ minutes because nobody came to our table“

“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 the wings and atmosphere!“

“This is such a great place, and I’m not the only one who thinks so, as the folks in Tampa have voted it Best Pub in Tampa in both 2024 and 2025. Independently owned by a wonderful human, George, for 10 years The Blind Goat has it all. Great beer selection, tasty food, a fantastic selection of spirits, delicious cocktails, two dart boards, a mini stage for events, a great back room, a great outdoor/patio space, amd more TVs than you can shake a stick at. Get in here 🍻🍔🎯📺“

“Omg yes yes and yes. My husband and I went this weekend. It was perfect! He got the Pirates Pick with fries and I got the Black Bean burger with sweet potato fries. My husband ate his burger and said it was so good and so filling that he could barely finish his fries. He was stuffed. He loved it. My black bean burger was so good so fresh so perfect. Sweet potato fries were sweet and savory total meal was so good. We want to go back already on a date. Yum yum.“

“Great place to watch game and enjoy good food and drinks! Our server Heidi was amazing!“

“Thank you pin chasers Veterans for making my sons 5th birthday incredible. Thank you for making its super easy for me , stress free !!! The Event coordinator and all her staff were amazing ! Thank you again . All my guests had a blast .“

“We’re from Wesley Chapel and don’t usually make our way over to Carrollwood often, but Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Northdale absolutely made the trip worth it! The food was delicious, the restaurant was spotless, and the atmosphere was fun and lively — the perfect spot to hang out and watch the NFL Draft. Bonus points for having Kraft Mac & Cheese on the kids’ menu — if you know, you know! Definitely one of the best Beef’s locations we’ve visited. We’ll be back!“

“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!!!“

“Great service and amazing food!!“

“Great place they have the best bartenders“

“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.“

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

“I personally witnessed the situation: the individual who wrote it displayed inappropriate behavior, was asked to leave, returned upset about not being served, and then came back again to take video footage of the bartender while making unreasonable threats such as “you will be canceled”. This behavior was disruptive and unacceptable.

The bartender in question is one of the most professional people I have ever encountered. He consistently provides service with grace, respect, and acceptance toward everyone. Any claims of racism are simply not true and do not reflect reality. From my personal experience over nearly a decade as a customer, I can say with confidence that this bartender is not only professional but also genuinely caring. I genuinely never leave reviews but felt absolutely compelled to do so this time! The anchor bar is great!“

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