Cigar City Cider & Mead

Awesome mead and cider spot in Ybor City! You can do flights of cider or mead. This place has a cool hipster vibe and is right in the downtown old city. We saw roosters and chickens walking by. Got a few flights and a pour! I really liked the cactus cider. Fun music with bar seating and tables seating. Very open and has nice art. Great find!

Great Cider and atmosphere. 9 types of cider. Plus Mead, if you are up fot it. I couldn't do Mead because I'm driving.

Delicious mead and cider. The place has a unexplained tingling vibe. The good kind. Good energy when we were there . Try flights for both mead and cider. The cider is fairly cheap mead a bit expensive but both have some very interesting flavor profiles. A must visit if you like to experiment.

Cute spot for a respite while touring Ybor City. Back patio with free roaming roosters and chickens. Game selection, amble sized bar. Not sure if there is food but good selection of draft items. Pro Tip: take a break from your tour here oh and take the free trolley from downtown Tampa.

Awful ciders. Didn't try mead Garagiste Meadery should have still been there

Great place, but make sure you check pricing, a sample size glass could be up to $8 Liquid is very good but can be pricey. They offer different types of Mead and Cider than most other places and can be very educational about the product and process!

Great atmosphere. Mead and cider are delicious. The GM is very friendly. He answered any questions we had. No loud TV's.

First time here, we googled to see if there were any meadery's in the area and this popped up... So we decided to try... There is metered street and parking lot parking everywhere.....Its a cute place, indoor seating, they serve food, meade and cider.....The mango, blueberry mead was really good..a little pricey.....the staff was nice staff.....I would recommend.

I went with family to Cigar City Cider & Mead while visiting Tampa. I had never been to a place that made mead so that was neat to see and taste a mead flight of drinks. The bartender was very friendly and fun to talk to, along with being helpful and telling us about their different drinks. Nice atmosphere inside. We all liked their meads; they were tasty and sweet. Cool spot. Overall, good experience.

Crisp cold cider on a hot day. Place used to have a food vendor on the patio but isn't around now. Routinely changes out their selection so something new every time.

This is one of my favorite cideries and honestly why I got into ciders in the first place. Anytime I come out to Tampa area I always make sure to stop by. Their homemade apple pie is what got me started and keeps me coming back. So happy that I relocated to Florida to be able to acquire their ciders more easily than when I was in Kentucky. Staff is always prompt and friendly and I love its quaint little spot in downtown.

This was our second time coming here and it's just how we remembered! A mellow place to hang around if you want to escape the business of the city. Walked up to the bar and ordered two Blueberry meads. Walked out with 4 to-go bottles later. Love it here. Place is always clean and bar tenders are so so so welcoming! If you're not into mead, they also have cider and beer and the selection is good. You can taste anything and as much as you want. They're just that generous here! Lots of parking around the area too.

As a full time member of the gluten-free club, of course I'm a Cigar City Cider fan. Membership should be revoked if you're not. And always a big ups to local heroes brewing and serving in multiple bars across Tampa. When my GFPIC and I see the brand at local watering holes, our eyes light up. I just wish they offered more flavors -them, the other bars, not Cigar City. Have you seen their Great Wall of choices? Thank god for flights! Hard to pick just one. I will say, I am a sucker for dark berries. Anything Blueberry or blackberry infused will likely win me over before the first pour. The Ybor location is everything you'd expect on a basic brewery level. No thrills just a chill place to sample delicious, creatively flavored cider without the threat of wheat.

The inside of this place is nothing really special , and the parking or lack there of isn't the best .. but you know what is ?! Their homemade apple pie cider ! 2 years ago I went to a tap room in Orlando that had it and for 2 years I tried to get my hands on it , but being in Houston it seemed impossible . After finding myself again in Orlando I figured why not make the drive to Tampa . Home made apple pie is HOME in a can , it gives me so many feelings and nothing was spared with it comes to taste . You taste the cinnamon , the graham cracker , the apple ( but not too acidic which is where a lot of brewers go wrong ) it's just perfection .

Cool spot to enjoy some cider and beer while in Ybor City with spacious seating. Good for groups. It's open late and they have a nice patio which is nice in the cooler months, but maybe a little too hot or wet in the summer. They always have a really big list of cider and mead options and prices are somewhat fair. The beertenders are usually pretty cool, if a little bit aloof. Now they have food inside from King of the Coop, but for a long time they had no food there.

Apple pie cider was my favorite Kiwi was very good too Chill spot Good drinks Definitely will be back

Absolutely love this place. Came with my girlfriend, she's a cider snob and loved the ambience, all the ciders and our bartender Jack!

came by with a friend! Jack helped us sample several ciders and meads--I settled on the Key Lime Pie cider, which is one of the coolest ciders I've ever tried. It actually tastes like the pie. The music played in here is great too :)

Such a fun spot in Tampa located right in Ybor. The cider selection is delicious. Very unique flavors and I loved that you could get a flight. The spicy cider was hands down my favorite and my husband and I both like the apple pie cider. Honestly every single one of them was unique and flavorful though. Highly recommend going if your a cider fan and even if you're not!

Cigar City Cider & Mead is located in Ybor city right off the strip.  The inside reminds me of an artsy tavern with a good size bar and plenty of tables.  This venue is brought to you by the original owner of Cigar City Brewing. Mead is honey based and cider is apple based.  What great drinks these are.  I am not really a fan of cider, but now I am officially a fan of mead.  It is sweet, but the few I had have a great mouth feel. On a random note, they have unisex bathrooms that are surprisingly extra clean. They have a limited selection of food currently, but they are soon to open a patio in the back with a food truck.  The food offerings were a fancy grilled cheese, orange hummus and Nashville hot popcorn.  My server was Jack and he walked me through how they make mead. The cliffsnotes: honey, water, yeast and spice, fruit, etc.  Fascinating.  Golden English Dry CIder 7% ABV - this is an easy drinking cider.  Slightly dry and delicious. Ginger Peach Cider 5.5% ABV - the ginger over powers the peach in a good way. Ghost Papaya Mango Cider 5.5% ABV - tasted this one and really liked it. It is spicy so be ready for the burn. Barrel Aged Mooseblood mead 13.5% ABV - subtle cherry and honey.  This is probably my first mead experience and its official, I like mead. Currency mead 14% ABV - currants and honey.  Didn't like this one as much as the Mooseblood, but it was also really good. BlackBerry mead 13% ABV - another winner. I could drink this all day, but too much and walking wouldn't be an option. Dry Hop Papaya 5.5% ABV... really liked this one Cigar City Cider & Mead is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Ybor City.  If you like wine, cider is a great alternative and the mead is so yummy.

The place is amazing! The staff (Russ) was very knowledgeable and friendly. I tried a few flights and was amazed by the flavor of the meads. The Triple Threat and Barrel Aged Moose head were probably my top two. The ciders were great also. I really enjoyed the Apple Pie, Key Lime, Wise Prick, and Blackberry. I almost didn't spot the bar passing by, so keep your eyes open. I think I have found one of my favorite spots in town. Do you self a favor and stop by. Even if you don't know much about mead, just to try it out.

Love Love Love This was my first time visiting Tampa. Any time I return, I will be intentional about making my way to Cigar City Cider. On the wall there are three rows of libation categories: beer, mead, and cider. Each canvas has the name of a flavor, alcohol percentage, and thorough description. Whether you sit at a table or at the bar, there are flight sheets and pencils. After reading the wall, you write the drinks you want to taste in each circle. You hand it to the bartender and Voila! They had flavors like key lime, coconut, apple pie, elderflower, pineapple habenero, and orange ginger to name a few. They were all uniques flavors that created a great experience. If you are visiting Tampa or live in the area drive to Ybor City and visit Cigar City Cider. This is what heaven is like.

CIDERS! Smaller than it's big brother Cigar City Brewing but in my eyes, better!! But from my understanding now, with the buy out of Cigar City, the Cider and Mead was not part of the deal so they are no longer the little brother. I certainly hope nothing changes here like it did at the brewery (sorry, not a fan of their changes to be all corporate) and they keep making fabulous ciders! Ben occasionally has to give into me and my need for tasty ciders and we always enjoy trying the newest creations. Located in Ybor so parking is a pain but worth it! The staff here is always extremely nice and during our first visit talked with us about the differences of meads and a bazillion other variations of beer/cider. They even has a super cool wall with the different names and information about them. Thanks for helping me beef up my beer knowledge... that way I can hold my own against the guys! LOL. It's just about time for my next visit, my crowler is empty! :(

My weekly hangout spot ! It's a hidden gem and Ybor snuggled off 8th street it's something about sipping meeting Cider &Mead straight off the tap in the same building it's made. shout out to the bartender Jack I don't know a bartender better P.S The menu changes more once the tap kicks

Very fun experience and you're bond to find something you like... or LOVE! The cider and mead flights are a must!

Omg this place is a gem. Discovered on a Sunday going back to our car. My first experience with mead and head over heals. Let's support our local business to keep them going and what makes tampa. Tampa. The back door garden is great the inside taproom is eclectic

One of the best cider places in all of Tampa if you are looking for some good ciders! They have all the dry ciders and sweet ciders you could ever need. Not overly crowded and top notch service. They have beers and mead if you're not a big cider person. They have a great back patio. A very good ambiance. They are related to Cigar City Brewing so they have everything you desire. The bartender is one of the most personable and attentive out there. I highly recommend if you are in or visiting the Tampa Bay region! It is worth the drive if you are within a few hours.

Homemade Apple Pie.. hands down, best cider!! Neat place!! Walked by randomly and had to stop in! Glad we did!

We swung by the tasting room after dinner down the street. It was my friend's birthday and she wanted to try their apple pie cider. Everyone who did try it said it was great. I wanted to try something a little different, and since I am a big fan of hibiscus tea, I tried the Red Sky at Night. It was delicious! I also tried a lime and habenero beer but it did have a little bite to it and the Red Sky was smoother so that is what I went with. There was a variety of people there on the Friday night we went and everyone seemed pretty laid back. I like places like this because they are great to just enjoy a good bev and chat with your friends. There is no pretentious bs that you get in clubs. Cigar City is right next to Florida Cane Vodka so you could check out both local alcohol makers on the same trip.

The service here was friendly and attentive. It's nice and clean too. We enjoyed all of the mead we tried with our flight. I was really impressed by them to be honest. The blackberry oak was really interesting! I wish I lived nearby, they'd have all my money lol. The flights for mead are pricy - $8 per pour, but they were worth it!

This is a nice little place on the east side of Ybor. Like most places in Ybor traffic can be a bit of a challenge, but the parking garages are generally inexpensive and both are close by. It is also a short walk from two different train stops making it easy to get here from downtown. I have been here a few times and I find it to be one of the best pubs for getting together with large groups. This is mostly due to the fact that it generally only has a few patrons and enough space for many more. It also is relatively quiet which allows for the whole group to catch up without have to scream across the table from one another. For the beer, it's mostly ciders and meads (as the name would tell you), but it is owned by Cigar City so sometimes they have other options from their traditional brewery at this location. This time around I had a cider that was aged in a whiskey barrel and another that was aged in a brandy barrel. Both were a delightful treat.

It was our third stop of the first night we spent in Tampa, specifically in Historic Ybor, when we went to Cigar City Cider & Mead. Having a taste for both cider and mead, I certainly filled my fix in enjoying a number of ciders and meads. Cigar City Cider & Mead is good place to go with a chill, spacious interior with yellow walls if I recall, lots of tables to bring friends, and a little bar area for ordering or just having your drinks there. The brewtenders were cool and helpful in providing recommendations, and my friends certainly were looking for a few. Out of the six I had, my favorites were the Currency and Blind Eye meads. The former had a lovely palate of currants and orange, while the ltter was more peach and wild flower. I tend to forget that meads, in general, are stronger than ciders -- the Currency was 14% ABV, so I was off my head by the end of the evening. And the location is tops, being that it's right around the corner from the main drag in Historic Ybor. So, if you're starting your night, that's where you should go before crawling down the bars and clubs of E 7th Avenue. If you live in the Tampa area or are looking to visit there and try some local mead and cider, check this place out.

I've been meaning to stop in here for a long time now and I'm glad I finally did because I've found my new Ybor home bar. It's right off 7th on 15th so it's just off to the side from all the action. Cigar City Cider and Mead is just like going to a brewery and getting the entire experience but with ciders, mead, and some guest taps. They had about 15/20 things on tap most of which I had never tried before. You can order flights to your hearts content to try everything They even had some table top games like chess and a old school video game setup to a tv. True environment was really chill and not what you'd expect being down in ybor. Highly recommended.

I happened upon this place while driving around Ybor on a Saturday with my parents and boyfriend. It was in an odd spot on a street that has construction. None of my family are big beer drinkers however my boyfriend and I are big cider drinkers so we went in. There are a ton of tasty options including meads and ciders and beers. I recommend a flight and that everyone get a different one so that you can try the extensive options. I personally loved the wicked prick however there is something for everyone. My mom even found one she liked and she very rarely drinks. There are plenty of board games and there is a great industrial atmosphere. It's clearly a very popular place because it was early in the afternoon and people were there trying the different ones. I will be back and also trying to find the various ciders in my local stores because honestly their ciders and meads were great. We didn't try the beers but if the ciders and meads were an accurate representation then the beers will probably be great for the beer drinkers out there!

This place is quite different! They typically only serve Cigar City exclusive Meads and Ciders, but they do also have 2-3 beers. I don't normally enjoy ciders, but these were very different flavors so I had to try a flight! I tried. Jalapeño honey cider, a cucumber melon cider, and 2 other strange flavors. I always find cider to be too sweet, and these were sweet for me as well, but they were definitely tasty! They also have a really nice location. It's right in Ybor and near the Brew Bus drop off. They also have a Simpsons chess game which was our entertainment while we drank! As all of Ybor, parking would be best in a lot. There's not really any parking nearby, unless you're lucky enough to get a sidewalk spot. I'd recommend going here on a weekend to get the full Ybor experience! Overall, this is very different! Especially being from Cigar City, it's interesting they chose to open a specific mead and cider shop. I'm not a fan of ciders or mead, but their prices were very reasonable if you're someone that does! My flight was $12 or $3 per beer shot. A full cider/mead ranged from $6-$12. Id day stop here if you want to try something new!

All the yes's. If you like cider, and are in Tampa, you go here. On par with the other great cideries along the east coast. Try the Jacked. Jackfruit and coffee with great aroma, sans bitterness. Peach Ghost pepper also very well done. Honeydew smoothie sounds meh, but is stellar. Bright refreshing not overly sweet. You should try it. Towards end of barrel, looks like a shamrock shake, but infinitely better. Look at the picture Not as robust as game selection as other places.

This is a really unique addition to Cigar City's ever expanding enterprise! It is a really small brewery on a side street in Ybor City. Very mellow, dark and laid back drinking establishment with some amazing drinks! I've been here twice now and had no problem getting served. Staff is friendly and knowledgable. I appreciate a drinking establishment in which a bartender can give you real advice on the selection...and CC Cider & Mead has just that! I ordered a flight of mixed mead/ciders. I was NOT disappointed. This place offers pints, flights and even take home growlers. They also have guest taps that rotate regularly. This brewery is very clean and welcoming. I will definitely be visiting again very soon. FYI - Park for free on the street if you can...if not, head down the street to the parking garage!

After living in Tallahassee and buying Homemade Apple Pie at Total Wine for years, I wasin love with this brewery. I'm a huge fan of ciders and when I moved to Tampa I had to come by and try this place out! The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable on what's new. Pretty much everything is amazing and the reason I say pretty much everything that I have tried. My go to is still Homemade apple pie, however I do enjoy a Wise Prick from time to time. It's always extremely clean, even the restrooms. My mom came into town and had her very large dog with her, the bar tender was really sweet and let us bring him in with us so we could stop and have a few drinks. It really suprised me because his is a very large dog (150lbs) and most places dont allow him inside even when food isnt being served. I highly recommend coming here

Great place to go for ciders! This is an off shoot of the cigar city brewery downtown located in Ybor city. They have 2 meads but several ciders including peach and my favorite, the apple pie cider. I'm not usually a fan of ciders but the apple pie cider is one I could drink 4 or 5 of. They also offer special mixes such as a Bellini. Very nice building and space, a bar with several tables as well. Easy parking on the street or the 15th street garage.

This place is in the historical district in ybor city. I didn't know what to expect because I never drank Mead. I was not disappointed because it was great. In ybor city they have street parking and a parking garage. The place looks very historic, with all the bricks and old industrial look. They have flights that bring smaller portions of the selections. I choose a combination of cider and Mead. They have something for everyone because I was with a friend that doesn't drink beer and she loved the cider. The flavors of the cider is amazing. They have an espresso flavor cider that was scary good. I need to go back!!!!

Cool area. Nice building. I imagine parking can get a little hard in this area. Service was a little slow, even though the place was empty. I had a flight with 3 ciders and a mead. The stand out cider for me I tried was the Strawberry Açai and even though the mead is quite expensive at $8 for a 5oz pour - Currency was the best drink I had there - it was very enjoyable at 14% and with the sweetness, you wouldn't want more than 5oz anyway. These guys class themselves as a tasting room not a bar hence the absent of the TVs.

Visiting from Baton Rouge, LA and have to say I was quite impressed with the service and selection of ciders & Meads. If you are a cider lover like myself, I would definitely recommend getting the flights so you can try everything. Even if you are not a cider lover, I came with my GF's family and they enjoyed everything they got to try. Only tried one Mead but it was smooth as can be! Many unique flavors, and fair prices. They also sell growlers. I definitely recommend with no reservations. Disclaimer: My average review score 3.53 when I made this review--(take with a grain of salt) (I rely on Yelp to go to places with good reviews, may account for the higher average)

Best cider selection in Tampa! You can't go wrong with Apple Pie, but be sure to try some of the other amazing always rotating menu as well. I always come here any time I'm in ybor to grab a drink (or two, or three). I love the staff, they are kind and attentive!

Man! I've never been to Cigar City Brewing but when I saw they had a brewery dedicated to cider and mead in Ybor, I had to go. Finding parking is tricky but when we finally walked in the place wasn't overly busy and we walked up to the bar. The bar tender met us and greeted us, asking how we were doing. He then explained the menu and how the servings worked (Coppertail take note). You can try the ciders but the mead is too expensive to sample so you can buy 2 oz. for about $2.50. After sampling a couple ciders, we went with a flight of peach, black currant, lemon lime and pineapple ciders. We added a 4oz coconut vanilla mead on the side. The tap room is small but bright. It reminded me of a cleaned-up saloon with red brick and wrought iron. It lended to less noise so there was a pleasant hum of conversation but you didn't have to shout to be heard. I'd definitely go back and try their rotating ciders and meads. Hey, even my mom liked it and she is not a cider drinker!

This is probably one of my favorite places to go. My boyfriend introduced me to the place and we have become good friends with the bar tenders. I'm not a huge beer drinker, it's not really my thing. So this place is a nice in between because while they always have 4-5 beers on tap they mainly have ciders and then about 3-4 meads on tap as well. They have sweet ciders, dry ciders and even spicy ciders. The service is amazing and they have ciders for all taste buds. The best part is they will let you try anything before you buy it!

A fantastic setting to chillax and drink some cider or mead or beer. My five stars are awarded to the Key Lime cider. It hit the spot after a hot night of strolling around Ybor City.

Great atmosphere. Good drinks and a good way to meet new people. If you like playing games, you can bring friends along for game night.

This is my wife's and my favorite watering hole in Tampa. The staff is super cool and the cider selection is the best I've found anywhere. The beer selection has also grown and is not bad. And the mead, if that's your thing, is respectable. So, why is this place so good? There are the reasons I mentioned above. Then there's the general vibe: super chill and very relaxed and fun. Cider & Mead is also very bicycle friendly - you even get a 10% discount for bringing your bike. They are cool with well behaved pets too. Also, there's no smoking inside, which for me is awesome. And then there is what a cider/beer/mead place offers. My wife is not really a beer person. But I am. So, there's beer for me, mead for her and cider that's not overly sweet for both of us. You won't find better cider, actually. The flavors are really unique and some are really complex and interesting. We especially love it when peppers are used in the cider for that semi-sweet & heat play. Are you hungry after a pint or two? Order in some food and have another pint. It's that kind of place. So, we love it. And that's why we keep coming back.

This new addition to the Cigar City Brewing and Ybor families is a great compliment to both. Just opened a few days ago! Cider has been sweeping more and more taste buds in the US recently. Although I have been drinking cider regularly for more than a decade, now that it's been made so commercially available by all the big brewing companies and many taste like crap, it's great to see locally made craft ciders and meads making their way into our territory. All the ciders and meads here are made in house. They offer many different styles and flavors, some more traditional, many with sweet flavors, but all are made from real fruits and no syrups. When you walk into the establishment, it is sleek and open. The small bar top tables are made with barrel bases and even have purse hooks! And the bar with the many taps behind is staffed with knowledgeable and friendly folks. You can taste them all until you find the one you like and order up a glass. They are not your typical pint size glasses, they are 12 oz pours in snifter shaped glasses. For the price and for a craft/in-house made cider or mead, it's at a very good price point. So far, my favorite is the pineapple cider. Will definitely be going back and checking out other flavors.

We were in the area and wanted a refreshing beverage. I love old time mead not the newer thicker mead that we found in the area prior. We decided to get a mead flight and it did not disappoint. They had about 7 different flavors and a great bartender/host named Russell. He was very knowledgeable about beer, mead and the area. The ambiance was great, relaxing bright and quiet. We would definitely be back for the great conversation and most importantly the mead!

This is one of my very favorite places ever, and I'm surprised at myself for having not left them a review sooner! If I lived closer, I would hands down be a regular that they knew on a name basis. So, I'm a huge cider freak. I love sweet ciders, dry ciders, tart ciders, apple ciders, pear ciders, every kind of cider you can imagine! When my boyfriend brought me here for the first time, I was mind blown. Their ciders and meads are 100% natural and made with ingredients that are all Florida grown. The ciders and meads offered at their tasting room rotate, so it's nice to be able to try something new every time that I'm there. Service is always very personable, and I've found that I usually end up in conversation with whomever is working that day. The staff members at Cigar City are great at answering questions and providing information on what they currently have available. Also, I highly recommend taking the tour that they offer on Saturday afternoons!

Awesome, unique spot. Low key more calm vibe inside, off the beaten path, great drinks and the same helpful & very friendly bartender is always there. One of our favorite spots in Ybor for sure, a bit of an undiscovered secret.

Sometimes I feel that beer, especially in the now-suds-rich state of Florida, has become too big for its own good. To witness: the wild-eyed throngs that show up at Cigar City's original Spruce St. tasting room almost every day to pay tribute to Florida's prime mover in the beer geek world. It has become more of a tourist attraction than a tasting room, and to me it is a bit much. I usually pick up a bottle or two to go and head somewhere else. This last jaunt to Tampa, that "somewhere else" was Cigar City's cider and mead room, a place I'd been wanting to visit, but just hadn't found the time. Simply put, this place is awesome. There are many interesting ciders and meads on tap, some bottles and cans for to-go purchase, and some available for growler fills. And - are you ready for this - on a lazy Saturday afternoon, while I wasn't the only person in there, it was pretty uncrowded. Room at the bar, attentive, chill bar staff, friendly patrons - PERFECT conditions for tasting a bunch of new ciders and meads! I love that these guys push the envelope. They aren't just offering up 3 different varieties of plain cider and honey wine. On my recent visit, I was able to sample the following ciders: Cowboy Dan's Caramel Extravaganza, Watermelon, Ginger Kids, Rambunctious (awesome spicy cider with habanero, ghost pepper, goji berry and dragonfruit!), Strawberry Banana, and There's Always $ In the Banana Stand (chocolate-banana). For meads, I tried It Takes 2 To Mango, The Strange, Strange Bedfellows, In a Headlock, and the massive vanilla of The Vincente. Of course I enjoyed some more than others, but most of these creations were very tasty, and a lot of fun to drink. It is truly the proverbial kid-in-a-candy-store experience, and a refreshing change from brewery tap lists boasting 4 different IPAs with 10 different hop varietals. It's a chill, comfortable spot in Ybor, and I hope it stays that way. I bet it will for at least a time, as cider and mead is still kind of a niche market for Florida. Enjoy it before people start trading for this stuff, lining up at 4AM for special releases, and selling bottles for ridiculous prices on the secondary market.

Came here twice on our most recent trip to Tampa. The bartender here is super friendly and very knowledgeable about beer and cider. I find it refreshing when people who work at bars actually know about different types of beer and give good and honest recommendations. I enjoyed 2 of their ciders. It might be seasonal, but their Apple Pie Cider is so good. It literally tastes like you're eating a piece of apple pie. Some other pluses about this place is that they are dog-friendly inside. You can bring your own food here and they have USB chargers lined up along the bar, so bring a charger cord if you want!

We went on a Sunday and meh that's how I felt when I walked in.. it took a while for someone to acknowledge my group of 5... ironic coz we were the only ones sitting at the bar... it is what it is. I did a flight that's the best way to try a little bit of everything. It's a HUGE spot so potential party would be fun in there.

Easy to visit every night if you are staying at the Haya. quick easy walk, the staff is full of great places to visit. The Mead does not have one bad flavor and the cider is perfect! Definitely will be back on the next trip!

Cigar city is a brewery you'll definitely want to check out when in Tampa. Theyre most known for Jai Alai IPA beer. I wanted to try a few different brews so I got a flight. My favorite was the cafe con leche. It had a nice creamy consistency and taste. The flight was well worth the cost. Most 5oz pours are around $2 and you can choose however many and whichever one you want.
