American Legion Post 111

What a great multipurpose space. Besides serving as a tribute and service center for our Veterans (thank you for your service), the venue offers a full bar with some food open to the public. They have some video games and a great area for karaoke, and live music. They also offer a larger venue for parties, events and rentals. I enjoy the Thursday night dances and Sunday swing dance here. The acoustics are very good and tables are arranged around central dance area for all kinds of entertainment. Restrooms have been updated for accessibility Entry and exit are accessible with venue accessible. The bar area has low lighting. Tables and chairs are accessible with bar height seating at main bar They have big Bar b q grills and smokers. Free van accessible parking in paved lot dedicated only to this venue

This was a great place to visit, but their biggest draw was the food prepared by "Tony Macaroni". I hear that they raised his rental rate & he's left to open his own restaurant in Carrolwood. I'd say that's like " cutting off your nose to spite your face".

Everyone was kind, friendly and the music was good ( a little loud, couldn’t hear the talking too much). The drinks were reasonable.

American Legion allowed us to hold my dads celebration of life in their facility. After dealing w/a funeral home that practically didn't care less about helping me arrange the folding of the flag or taps for my dad. My next venture was finding a place to facilitate his celebration of life since his home church was over 2 hours away. I went into American Legion and spoke with Mr Willie and explained that I needed help and boy, this man was such a blessing. He told me not to worry about the taps or folding of the flag he'll arrange that and showed me the space we could choose from. Anyways, I appreciate them for helping me honor my dad, for the soldier he was, the husband and father he became. Thank you so very much

Coworkers were going out to drink so I did too. The bar was clean. The alcohol was cheap. The bathrooms were accessible. It did everything a bar should do. Will come back.

This is a great place to grab a cheap drink. People are always friendly and interesting to talk to! The food is great and the guy that makes the food at night is awesome! The bartenders are very nice and always make great drinks! A bit hard to find if you don't know where you are going but easy with good directions. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a good neighborhood bar!

Extremely important place of community for service people both active and retired. They can come and fellowship with others who have had similar experiences in the military. The place is large. It has two ball rooms for rental for parties and several kitchens and a stage. It also offers a small gaming casino and pool table area. It has ample parking with several handicapped spaces too. I met the commander and his assistant they are really nice people. Enjoy the experience.

Karaoke every Monday starting at 11:00 pm is very fun and the host is so awesome and kind very welcoming. I had a blast!

I mostly visit this spot when there's live music, and it never disappoints. It's super chill, very casual, and full of regulars, which gives it a welcoming vibe. Drinks are inexpensive, and they've got a pool table and darts to keep things fun. If you're there on a non-event night, it's still a great hangout. The bartenders are always friendly, chatty, and bring good banter, which adds to the laid-back atmosphere. The crowd tends to vary depending on who's playing, but on average, it skews toward the 30-and-older range--a vibe I definitely appreciate these days. The outdoor patio is huge, which is perfect for Florida evenings. I used to come here more often a few years ago, especially for the Tony Macaroni pasta window (those were the days!), but even without it, it's still an awesome spot to relax and enjoy good company. Highly recommend it for live music nights or just a casual hangout with a great vibe!

Love the slot machines and it's a nice friendly crowd. Next time I will go during happy hour so I can see.Just how happy the experience may be

they do so much .I'm having another yard sale for my uncle George's passing. yard sale is November 18, 2023 @ 6411 north Clark ave. tools, and other things 9-1:00 please come and help with his passing. thank you.

The bartender Sara is RUDE! 15 mins before closing she yells out to the guest very loud (GET THE F**k OUT!!!!) OVER and Over! She puts everyone out early unless you are one of her few select friends. A few of the regulars are her friends and she kicks everyone out and lets those people stay late ordering drinks until 5am sometimes. COMPLETELY unfair AND illegal!!!! When the bar is barley busy, she looses her cool very easily. She get upset with the customers when they are only simply ordering drinks. She yells at the guests and threatens them that she will refuse them service and kick them out of the bar for doing nothing... Sara is also a bully, on nights she is NOT working she likes to hang out at the bar. Even when no one is talking to her, she likes to interrupt conversations with nasty rude comments. One night Saha had assaulted me and my guy friend. She pushed me into a wall as I walked towards the door. I had stopped for a sec to wave goodbye to some friends and she pushed me for no reason. I am a woman so I pushed her back and warned her never to put her hands on me. I left out of the door but she followed me and charged towards me. so I had to defend myself. The owner of this place just seems to let her get away with anything she wants. I mean how unprofessional is it to yell and assault your guest on a daily basis???? I usually come there I'm never bothering anyone. I sing so I love the karaoke nights and the cheap drinks but if this is assertable to the owner of this bar then Im afraid you have lost a regular customer.

I love the idea of this place. I like the atmosphere and the people, but unfortunately the RACISM I've experienced from the bartender LACEY and the older frumpy one EVERY TIME I come in has been completely appalling. I want to support local neighborhood businesses but when I come into your spot and you think it more important to organize cups than serve me or even acknowledge me a full 20 minutes as you continue to acknowledge others walking in and serving others drinks, who happen to not be black.....yea, let's all collectively hold our big fat red STOP signs. And this is not a one time experience, folks. This has been a consistent occurrence. When one said bartender was asked about her lack of customer service, her excuse -while half rolling her eyes and giving a smirk- was that she and another bartender were changing shifts. Yea....and you totally were just serving other customers while closing out shifts, so BULLSHIT. We've been here enough to be considered regulars, so even if you can't stand the sight of our sexy faces, at least pretend like you do. I do. The service makes me not want to spend my money at this place. If you saw me on the street I guarantee you, your behavior would be different. So don't let it be that.

NOW WITHOUT CIGARETTE SMOKE! How does it possibly get any better than foosball and $3.75 Beam and Cokes? FIVE STARS!!

This is not a youngsters hot spot, but older folks will get a warm welcome and stiff drink for low cost at the American Legion bar....where patriotism is celebrated with cheap drinks. It is a sample of old-time Americana parked on N. Florida Ave, just north of Sligh & Lowry park. That could be Norman Rockwell quietly sipping his Bud Lite draft at the end of the bar. You can see a different array of critters parked in the bar on most afternoons, some resembling sloths, others chattier birds. Regrettably lots of the regulars smoke, so probably they alternate visits here and the James Haley VA hospital. Free hot dogs, popcorn, and low-cost meals are sometimes offered under a hot lamp. Thursday nights feature Johnny Charro and band playing music for dancing in the Legion Hall for an $8 cover and low cost drinks. He is quite good at 50's, 60's and later golden oldies, but will not be doing rap, hip-hop, techno or similar more recent musical aberrations that can't be danced to. You don't have to be a Legionnaire or even a vet to be welcomed, but you will probably feel more comfortable if you fit in with such a bunch. Here you are on the other side of the world from most Ybor & SoHo clubs.

Friendly bar staff, cheap STRONG drinks, free pool and popcorn, plus they are staying open much later these days (until 3AM most nights)! This has become a favorite late night spot for the Seminole Heights service industry crowd, and with good reason!

Best punk rock bar in town. Go there on any given night and there will be a dozen kids crowded by the pool table slamming cheap drinks and sniffing glue. A true oasis in this cultural wasteland.

The only reason I go are the super cheap drinks. Some of the younger bartenders and patrons are cool. It's gotten better since the "hipsters" started making their way in.....But as Yserdia mentioned before...those fuckers are racist. I have always been met with the WTF are you doing here face from the frumpy bartender, there are two old slick haired assholes that sit at the bar on the opposite side from the front door that are always there and do the same thing and most of the other older patrons rarely have any to say to me at all. It was even worse when Baltimore happened and it was all over the news...there were days when I would walk in and people would leave, or if they happened to be watching the news and it came up they would change they channel....all good though...the fact that I make them uncomfortable and we both know it is half the reason I go back...suck it!

I've never felt so welcome. This is my favorite bar in Tampa by far! Bartenders are crazy fast and nice (which they don't have to be)z this place is my new number 1.

Love this place. Cheap drinks and the bar tender Kasey is the shit! Pool table a juke box

Whoever this RACEY LACEY is - as the only white patron at the bar on a Tuesday night, I felt particularly ignored based on my race (and beautiful porcelain face). How the other white patrons received service is beyond me. I'm aghast! What is this, a Virginia plantation? Swallowing my indignation I waited a solid 43 minutes for my skinny girl appletini. To add insult to injury, she brought me a mangorita instead. Malt liquor based cocktails? It's dark in here but not that dark.
