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 💯“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

“Great menu, excellent specials. Friendly staff“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“Very impressed with CJ the new kitchen manager who comes out to check on all the patrons, amazing and refreshing! He is a very positive and welcome addition. Amber and Amy whether bartending/waiting always make us feel like home. We always laugh and enjoy our time here.“

“The best Fun and old school“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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. 🌞“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“Good drinks, great friends!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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..“

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

“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 🍻🍔🎯📺“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Love the wings and atmosphere!“

“Okay it looks like this location Hooters of Brandon has been a great location. One Hooters girl embarrassed me. This was said "okay everyone it's time to wish my boyfriend a happy birthday!" July 16th“

“Great Food!!!! awesome staff member!!! Beverly was the best server. burgers were outstanding.“

“Se disfruta los nietos super“

“Great place they have the best bartenders“

“Had lunch with my wife and a small group of friends on a Saturday. We shared a pork osso buco which I thought was very good while my wife wasn't impressed with it. Service was good. The only thing we didn't like was the TV sound(s) were too loud which made it hard to converse with each other.“

“I got alot of food for a great price.“

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

“Great Niners Bar! Good food and friendly staff.“

“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!!!“

“This is definitely the place to be for sports — I couldn’t even count the number of TVs. There are lots of pool tables and darts, and luckily we didn’t have to wait for one. The food was okay, took a while since the place was packed. My only complaints are that the tables (including pool tables) could be spaced out a bit more, and it would be nice if people didn’t smoke right at the front door — though I suppose that’s still better than smoking inside.“

“Great service and amazing food!!“
