Tampa Bay Brewing Company

We had an amazing dining experience tonight at TBBC! Our relatives came into town and wanted to try something local and authentic to Tampa. Our server was awesome & we had a great experience! I’ll definitely be back 😊

Ordered the smash burger & fries. Enjoyed it. Nicely done. Had the Citrus Grove tap. Nice tasting summer brew. Quiet night for a Saturday. Comfortable atmosphere. Friendly service.

Excellent spot for lunch. Nice patio seating although the streetcar is a bit loud. I had the BBQ chicken pizza. Perfect crust, would order again. Staff is friendly and attentive. You may even spot a chicken.

Stopped in for a late nite pint, service was good. The beer was good also we tried a few beers each. They offer 2 samples per person that was really nice so you can really dial in your choice. Our favorite was the peaky grinders coffee beer. With Blueberry Muffin coming in a close second.

I honestly don't understand why the rating is 4.4 for TBBC. They have a lot of positives going for them. The Ybor City location has seating inside and out, with lots inside if the weather stinks outside. There is a lot of beer on tap, and in my flight, I thought Day Donkey was a clean and easy drinking beer that I could just crush if needed. I also tried an IPA that was just tapped and not a core beer, but it was good. This would be a nice place to bring a family for dinner. Inside, there is lots of seating and quite a large menu. I just had a flight, but as I usually do I had a peek at people's food and it looked very tasty. I just sat at the bar for my flight, and my bartender Rebecca was lovely and friendly. No local parking at the brewery, but there is plenty of downtown parking so you can just walk to the brewery.

Great outside atmosphere. We had a quick lunch there today and everything was amazing! Starting with the bartender, David doing a brew taste test. The onion (French soup was on point! Served pipping hot. 🤤Which made it taste even more scrumptious on an unusually chilly Tampa day. Bern’s French onion soup ain’t got nothing on this one. The fried pickles were fried to perfection and delightfully tasty. The turkey sandwich was also yummy and good portioned. Will be back for sure :)

Great beers ! Great food! Great service! What else can you ask for on a Sunday. Also enjoyed the car show in Ybor. Was a surprise since we passed by not knowing what was happening.

I just wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for the incredible experience we had at your brewery. We were the cycling group that biked over from Orlando. Cedric was our server and took care of us. We were nonstop hungry and thristy and he kept the food and drinks coming. The beers were great. The food came to the table very fast and was yummy. It's clear that your team puts a lot of effort and passion into what you do, and it truly shows. Thank you for allowing our group to hang at your place. We loved the outdoor patio set up. Thank you again for making our visit so memorable. We can’t wait to return and next year!

I'm giving TBBC a 5 star review. This was my second time in Ybor city. The last time I didn't get a chance to stop here. The location is really nice. There is an inside and an outside area with an outside bar. The beer list is pretty long. I had the blonde ale which was great. One thing that could have been better would be more lighter draft options on tap. The options were IPA and up. The food was good. Highly recommend the Smokehouse Chicken sandwich. The bartenders were really cool as well giving us other options and spots in the area.

I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time! The kids and I stopped by during our trolley ride adventure and have to say we were pretty disappointed. Service was friendly but crappy. We didn't receive refills. The food runner dropped literally half our fries on the tray when bringing our food and didn't replace them. We sat for at least 10 minutes before anyone greeted us. The bare minimum was done with regard to service. Food was okay. But expensive for what you get. I got 2 shrimps on each of my tacos. The rest was a bunch of cabbage. The pizza was fine. It was pizza. The ambiance was great! As is the beer. We may go back who knows. Everyone deserves a second chance.

I love how relaxed the restaurant is, it gives a very comfortable vibe. Our waitress was wonderful, I felt bad that it took some time to make a decision on our food so she had to keep coming back. There was so many dishes I wanted to try but do not have the stomach for and I don't live in this area, but will definitely return the next time I am. I got a pizza and added chicken and sausage to the pizza. It was pretty good. There's more crust than the rest of the pizza, which was interesting. I'm not sure if that's the style? My boyfriend enjoyed the calzone but the pepperoni could be better spread out. In one bite, he had a whole stack but the next, he had one singular slice.

Came here for Sunday brunch. Was a pretty good place. We had tuna tartar, salad, and fish sandwich. We shared everything between the two of us. Food was pretty tasty. We also had non alcoholic cocktail that was pretty good as well, but very sweet. The ambiance is more or less like a sports bar. They also have outdoor dining. Service was pretty friendly and attentive as well, overall a pretty good place. It is a little pricey for what they offer though.

Bartender and manager from Thursday 2/6/2025 Totally rude, I will never be back. Too many places to go to be treated like that.

In town for a concert and had time to kill so decided to check out TBBC. This location is located in the heart of Ybor city. Parking is a challenge as there is very little street parking. My husband got the "So long portsmouth" which is the English porter. He enjoyed it. I got the "Lord of Penny Cups" which is the Imperial stout. It's brewed with peanut butter cup and is a super easy drinker. Our bartender was fantastic and super attentive. We had dinner plans, otherwise we would have hung out a bit more.

We stop in here every time we make a trip to IKEA, which is just a few minutes away from TBBC's Ybor City brewpub. You can never, ever go wrong with the Beer Cheese Soup -- it's even good on a hot day as long as the A/C is working in the restaurant, and we've never been there when it's been down. Now, for a summer 2024 combo suggestion, try "The Bomb" burger, which is the standout item from the handhelds menu for its uniqueness (burger, bacon, cheddar, onion strings WRAPPED in pizza dough instead of served on a bun) along with a "Whimsical Beach" wheat beer, which is light, refreshing, fruity, and perfect for cooling off on hot days. As for service and ambiance, we came in on a HOT Sunday afternoon and it was exactly what we needed: chilly and chill. We even took home a tin tacker sign so we could represent TBBC in our home bar.

We came for lunch and I'm glad we did. They have a wide variety of beers, from IPAs to Pilsners, and even cocktails for people who don't like beer. I ordered the Smokehouse Chicken Sandwich, and it was delicious. There were so many toppings that it was a bit hard to find the chicken, but it was still tasty. The service was friendly and attentive. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and gave us some great beer recommendations. Overall, it was a great experience. The only thing missing is a solid happy hour.

First time customer after walking by numerous times. The restaurant is warehouse like, with some huge booths and lots of tables and a nice size bar. Our server was quick to take our drink order while we looked at the menu. The menu has a nice variety of appetizers, sandwiches salads and entrees. I settled on the brisket Mac and cheese as they are two of my favorite things. Food arrived timely and was nice and hot. I ordered the wrong thing as the brisket was super chewy and smoked way more than I like. The Mac and cheese was really pasta with a thin cheese sauce. It wasn't at all as I expected and I really didn't enjoy it. Now I know for next time to order something different. Our server was great the entire time.

This was one of the best pizza's I've had in a while. Soft and thinner crust with a complex flavor profile. The pear and sweet hot honey on top add the perfect compliment to the salty and savory cheese and arugula. French fries were basic thick-cut fries. I would absolutely order this again.

Some of the best beers in Tampa! Great selection, unique brews, and good food too. Their outdoor patio is dog friendly

This place had good reviews on Yelp so my team and I HAD to check it out. We ordered beer flights and I got the Bomb Burger. Oh man was that thing huge. It was baked in pizza dough as the bun and I've never had anything like it before. The burger was juicy and the dough wasn't too dough-y. It was honestly an experience and I definitely recommend it. The wait staff were super friendly and joked along with us. It wasn't too busy since it was Tuesday lunch time, so it was fairly quiet and nice inside.

The spot is such a good location and it's nice that they have bar seating, indoor seating, and outdoor seating. The flight we had was a variety of sours and our favorite had to be the berry on the far right. The service was a bit slow and honestly seemed to care less, but we weren't there to socialize with the staff luckily. Definitely not the same brewery type of energy that you get used to.

Tampa Bay Brewing Company used to be a huge hit for me in Ybor, but I was definitely underwhelmed this time! We got the pretzel, the brisket mac, a salad, and my friends each had beers. The beer selection is great, but I didn't love the food, and I think the booth setup is a bit odd for the sake of watching sports on the TVs. I used to love this salad and crave it! It has chicken, strawberries, dried crans, goat cheese, all my favs! I haven't had it in awhile, but I was disappointed this time. The chicken was pretty dry, and there weren't a lot of any of the toppings - it was mostly a bed of spinach and a small portion of the good stuff underneath. The pretzel was fine, though half of it was super salty and the other have had like no salt. The brisket mac was good, but I didn't love that either. Our server was friendly and we had a good time watching football regardless!

Went in to grab a few beers while watching some football. The beer selection is top knotty and has something for everyone. Our server Hannah was great and attentive.

Yesterday I got to have a beer at the Tampa bay brewing company in Ybor city. I have not been to Ybor before and my dad wanted to go to check out the Fuente cigar shop. The Fuente cigar shop was not open however a different shop is open so he grabbed some cigars from there; we walked around the block, so many free range chickens which I didn't know that was a thing. However about this brewery let me tell you they are in the prime location. They're right across the street from a university which is perfect for them because I bet they're very busy on the weekends. However going in the afternoon was perfect - it was quiet maybe a little bit before noon not too busy. The inside of Tampa Bay brewing company had all of their cans where they make the beer visible so you can see them through the windows, they have a huge bar inside, as well as loads of seating. We did not grab any food- we just tried some beer. I had the captain Don's Tiki shower which had flavors of pineapple, banana, spiced rum and cream of coconut. I definitely want to have this again. My dad had a stout I believe. This building is in the center of Ybor area that has all of the restaurants and is in the same area as the funny bone comedy club in Ybor. 10/10 Definitely returning

The food here is to DIE for. Seriously the best food all around. My kids and I ate here a few months ago, and my son told me he wanted to come back here again, so I brought them back and it definitely didn't disappoint. I LOVE their chili. The beef is so tasty that is in it, perfect amount of beans, the sauce is hardy and just all around great. My daughter got the Bomb burger and it was yummy! I tasted it once she finally cut into it (she ate all her fries first, which were also great btw). My son got a regular burger, and he devoured it, plus the remainder of my chili I couldn't eat. My only complaint was the crackers were stale, but that's ok. I don't typically eat them anyway, but just felt the need for a crunch this day. The server was also pretty good. She was busy, so we didn't get the service I would've liked because we had empty cups a few times, but we didn't even have to ask when she did make her rounds back to us again, so she did great overall. As a former server, I totally understand. I think she did a great job. We'll definitely be back!

I always love a flight option! I tried two sours (really liked freedom) an ipa and a milkshake ipa that was so vanilla forward it was hard to enjoy it. My husband had the bison burger, he said it was good, but to me it looked like any other perfectly round frozen burger patty. I had the bee sting pizza (I'm a sucker for hot honey!) and it was very good! Definitely could have fed two people, much larger than I expected. Wish we discovered this place earlier in our trip, I would have liked to try more of their beer options!

Tampa Bay Brewing Company in Ybor City is a great spot for a drink or bite to eat. Lots of outdoor seating on the patio and outdoor bar as well as inside. I like getting a flight of beer to try several different beers. I prefer sitting at the bar for quick service and a fun vibe.

Food was on point. The tea is garbage so I drank water the calzone cheese was so damn good. That bomb burger is way different in a good way. It seemed kinda slow for a Friday night. The only issue was the $20 for parking at 5:50pm. But it was worth it for the $16 bomb and that delicious calzone. I have left overs for the next few days. Went to IKEA and this place was like 4 mins away in the heat the close parking is worth it not to walk and sweat like crazy.

We had lunch here during a recent trip to Tampa. Food and service were great. Our waitress was friendly and gave great recommendations for food and drinks.

Food and beers both A+ !! I got a beer flight with all different styles, each one was good. I ordered the wings and they were fantastic. Perfect light breading and the sauce was delicious. It reminded me of Hooter's wing sauce a little but obviously better. Wings were nice size with good amount of meat. My daughter got the soft pretzel appetizer and it was really good too. We really liked the mustard dipping sauce, even better than the cheese. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on their menu. Great spot

Food and drinks are always amazing here. I love that it's dog friendly. Dave was our waiter and he was BEYOND amazing I could not have asked for a better waiter. Super personable, efficient, nice, everything you could ask for. We always have a great meal here. Dave made me a mango mojito and it was 15/10. Will definitely be back !

We had a bad service experience at Barterhouse so we retreated here AND WE ARE SO HAPPY WE DID! Danielle saved our birthday celebration--she got our drink, appetizers, and food out in a flash to help us save time to get to our next party plan stop. Furthermore, the food was amazingly tasty & fresh, drinks were delicious too--perhaps karma meant for us to celebrate here instead. Thank you for the save Tampa Brewing Company--we'll be back!! PS BIG THANK YOU for also helping promote things to help beautiful coral in our oceans, big bonus points there too!!!

Super friendly staff, great indoor and outdoor areas in the heart of Ybor city. Local brewery that has wide distribution, but great to get their beers (large variety) straight from the tap!

I had a great visit here for lunch the other day. Parking can be a challenge in Ybor City, but I paid $8 for a space in a public lot. It was all good from there as I was greeted by the friendly bartender and a nice list of fresh beer on tap. I had two IPAs and my favorite was the Sea Bison. The big surprise was the quality of the food. My Greek salad with chicken may have been the best salad that I've ever had in my life!

This is a regular weekend lunch spot for me and my family. The service is usually great, the food is good, and we love the outdoor area. Outdoor service was a little slow on the most recent trip, but I do think a few tables sat at once and they just reopened this weekend after a short renovation. That has not been typical on past visits. Menu is mostly still the same. I love the Greek salad- even better with blackened salmon. My spouse regularly gets the buffalo chicken sandwich and has no complaints. The kids menu is fairly small but they have one of the best fruit cups in the area- strawberries, blueberries, and grapes (I can't stand the not-ripe melons in most fruit cups). The beer is always tasty.

We came on a Friday afternoon after the beach around 3:30. We were greeted and seated right away. We chose to sit on the patio since it was so nice out. It was very spacious seating. The main menu had a lot of option while the kids menu was kind of limited to the staples of pizza and tenders. I didn't see the back of the beer menu or I would have gotten a flight but I did Opt for the Elephant foot IPA. Once I realized my error the server was kind enough to bring me a couple skoshes of ones I would have like to try. My mom had the True Blonde and said it was really refreshing. Our table ordered the Florida Wings which were the meatiest wings I have seen in a while and full of flavor. The ranch had a kick which was a nice surprise. The Blanco pizza was also amazing, highly recommend especially if you are a garlic fan. The pastrami sandwich was devoured and no crumbs were left so I'd say it's safe to say it was also amazing. The kids enjoyed pizza and fries. Overall I think the pricing was fair for the amount of food we got. I would definitely recommend.

This was our first time visiting Tampa Bay Brewing Company. We were in the area and wanted to pop in for a quick beer and an app. I will say this place gives off more of a restaurant vibe than a brewery vibe. We sat at the bar as we were looking to get in and get out. We both had a Tampa Bay Brewing Company Beer, which was as good as expected. We split the Johnny's Cheese & Ale Dip! This is the perfect companion for our beer and a fantastic app to split. The dip was served super hot and the bread was nice and warm. I thought the dip was really tasty, however, I do not remember the roasted red peppers. Maybe they could serve it with larger chunks in the dip or even as a garnish. If we are in the area we would stop in again, assuming we can find a parking space in the area. It is in the middle of Ybor and parking can be challenging.

Great food,excellent service. We got the garlic knots which were fantastic holy garlic! And the barbeque chicken pizza was delicious. Cold beer too. Nice atmosphere.

Went here today after seeing these guys win some medals in the Brewers Ball earlier this year. The GM served us and helped us pick one of their award winning beers. Mercedes our bar tender also took good care of us and helped us pick out a great snack of fried pickles. They were amazing and the dipping sauces they came with were truly next level. The Ambiance of the Bar was nice plenty of space for a larger group while still cozy enough for the wife and I. Overall a great experience and we certainly will be back.

This review hurts to write. I had a business meeting here two years ago, and TBBC was so awesome, I brought my wife and her best friend and husband here when they flew in from California to visit us; literally straight from the airport. Both time services was great and the food was outstanding. I used to work at a winery, so being in a working brewery, with all the smells, felt like home. Unfortunately, yesterday, the meal was a complete miss, with one exception. For context, I will say, the menu was new, to me, and they had some new items on a separate sheet. It was also packed for 2 pm on a Saturday. Let's get service out of the way. It took about 10 minutes for our waiter to get to us. Again, it was busy. He did not come around to our table much, but when he did, he noticed we weren't happy and got the manager. The manager did what he could to help us, and ended up talking one of our items off the bill. The service, while not attentive, showed good effort and a strong desire to make sure the customer was happy. This is the main reason the rating wasn't lower. Atmosphere was still great. Food. Let's get to the good. The beer soup was really, really good. Highly recommend. That is it. The cheese and beer dip was ok, but the "ciabatta", unlike any ciabatta bread I have ever had, was dry and stale. The really, really disappointing part of the meal was the chopped salad, which my wife and I both got. I specifically wanted to go to TBBC to get one of their salads. We walked passed by several restaurants to go to TBBC because I loved their salads. My favorite salad was no longer on the menu, what a shame. The chopped salad was supposed to be on romaine. The lettuce mix included shaved carrots and cabbage. Makes me wonder if they used a bag mixed. I would not have gotten the salad if I knew about the cabbage. Let's talk chicken. Imagine a delicious, well seasoned grilled chicken breast. The chicken on the salad was anything but that. It was supposed to be grilled. Nope, it was pan fried. The manager thought it was grilled. Nope, I ran a BBQ competition for years, I know what grilled meat looks like. This was pan friend. Actually, not a big deal, except is has ZERO seasoning, not even salt and pepper. One of the most bland pieces of chicken I have tasted in my life. How do you not put any salt and pepper on a piece of meet if you are a professional chef. Lastly, there was a really strange flavor in the salad. It was a warm spice, like cumin or colander, and did not belong in the salad. It was so strong, my wife could smell it and couldn't finish the salad. Overall, TBBC is a fun place that has had great food 2 out of the 3 times we have been. This time was so underwhelming, it is hard to imagine going back. Maybe it was the new menu, maybe it was how crowded it was, though that should be expected on a weekend, but this time was a real miss. Sorry to say, I can't recommend TBBC anymore.

I've only been here once, but I did have a great experience! We came here during Saturday football and the vibe was so fun! Their pumpkin beer was one of the best I've had, and I do make it my business to try them all. It was well-balanced and had hints of caramel. The fried pickles were delicious and the serving size was large! Our bartender was very helpful in assisting us to find the right beer for our tastes. I highly recommend this as a fun spot in Ybor off the main strip.

You're probably going to have to pay for parking or talk a bit of a walk to get from the free spots to this location, but the food, atmosphere, and drinks are great! On a Sunday night I met up with one of my friends here for drinks and dinner to get caught up on each other's lives. We were there easily for 2.5 hours but never felt rushed by our server. We had opted to sit inside because the weather seemed a little iffy, but there was a lot of open seats at the outside bar and I could see that being a fun spot to people watch from or enjoy on a nice day/night. We split the pretzel for our app; I'm always a sucker for a pretzel when I see it on a menu. It came out nice and hot, not overwhelmed with salt, and the cheese sauce was good, nothing too spicy or strong in the flavors of it. We picked it apart while I had a Keel Farms Agrarian Elderberry Cider while my friend had a seasonal blonde TBBC had on tap at the moment. After our app, I opted for the wild mushroom pizza and my friend chose the grilled salmon. She said the potato mash it came with was delicious, and enjoyed the salmon too. I was obsessed with the pizza! It's easily large enough to split between two-four people, and I very happily took home leftovers that reheated & were just as tasty the next day. She kept sipping on her blonde ale, and I changed to Keel & Curley's Planted Strawberry & Lime cider. This one was quite sweet, which I happened to enjoy, and was almost matching the flavor profile of strawberry jam. Our server was great! We let her know when we were seated that we wanted to sit and catch up, and she never rushed us, checked in just when the glasses ran low or the food got down to the last bite, and was very personable each time she came by our table.

Ran across this place while exploring the Ybor area. We were seated quickly. Our waitress was very patient and knowledgeable. She helped us decide on the beers in our flight. Was noisy but still able to hold a conversation. As for the food....I would definitely return! If you're on the fence about getting the bomb - get it! It is an experience. Delicious and juicy. Just full of flavor! The pizza was yum as well! Plenty of cheese. Crust is slightly crunchy with a chew to it.

(From March, 2022) I was gonna head back to my hotel after my cigar but had a moment where I recalled the travel channel doing a feature on breweries and they mentioned Tampa Bay Brewing Company on the episode I caught. Doing a YELP search, it showed it to be close by so I continued walking here and stepped in. After arriving, I was quite tipsy from the drinks throughout the day and the cigar I just finished but managed to find a seat at the bar and using all my power, mustered to the bartender that I needed a light beer of some sort. They poured me the Florida blonde ale which suited just fine. I continued sipping while listening to the noise and atmosphere I was entrenched in. It dawned on me that this is somewhat of a tourist spot as there were a lot of people visiting from out of state. Yet it's also a favorite among locals due to the beer selection and food options. I didn't get any food here but I did enjoy the beer and happened to converse with some cool people about the city and why they moved here. Aside from the warm weather, cheap cost of living, and all the activities Tampa offers, they mentioned they're happier here than they were living in their previous residences (either in the mid-west or north-east) which makes sense since it's colder and more expensive out in those ways. I'll have to venture back here someday but perhaps more sober so I can truly experience the beer better. But nevertheless, enjoyed my visit!

Tried the Smokehouse chicken sandwich and beer flights for a nice weekday lunch. The cider wings are also a must try!

The food was great here and the beers was even better! The menu has so many options I'd love to try. We were able to watch the Celtics game at this bar. They have an outside and inside portion for when it gets too hot! Our waitress was very nice and attentive as well.

The vibes were pretty good! The food and drinks were good! And the service was extremely friendly. I'm definitely going back!

We had a great family dinner during the week after the Tree Lighting Ceremony in Ybor recently! The last time I visited TBBC was maybe 10 years ago! It was fun returning with our daughter, a little foodie in the making! As we started looking at the menu, we all got excited to see Calamari! Our family tradition is to try calamari at every restaurant we attend! This calamari was covered in a sweet sauce, fried to perfection and included peppers and other delightful to the dish!!! Hands down the best we've had so far! We all ordered different entrees and were pleased with each! To drink, in addition to the old fashioned and margarita (I know.. in a brewery), we also had local pineapple cider! Soooo good! The create your own calzone was the highlight of the night! Fresh dough, made daily there, in addition to fresh products (cheese and pepperoni) filled the light and fluffy crust!!! It was so big, the 3 of us could have shared it and had plenty! The next time we visit, I'd like to try a beer flight of some local flavors created in house! We truly enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to try new entrees!

Drinks are good. Wouldn't recommend the chips. The cheese it comes with it store bought crap. Salsa was ok. But if drinking I guess it works. Not what I would get again but enjoyed the multiple IPA's and my girlfriend enjoyed her choices of beers. All in all. I like TBBC So the bartender took a customers dog, on her shoulder, behind the bar. NOT COOL AT ALL!! That immediately made me check out. I like dogs, but don't need them anywhere near my drinks or food!! Keep the dogs out of the bar!!!!! After all that, the bartender didn't wash her hands and served beers to other customers While we waited for bill, we still didn't witness said bartender washing her hands. Again...NOT COOL. And then she wiped her nose with forearm. I liked this place, but when I come back, I will chose the bar that this bartender is NOT at!

Went here for some afternoon apps on a weekday around 2. Ybor City was quiet. It was a steamy 90F and drizzled off and on outside. The quality of the service and meal matched the weather. We intended to share everything two dishes at a time and made that clear. Still things were brought out all at once with no extra plates. The blackened fries app was decent - nice flavor. The pretzel was tough and there wasn't nearly enough sauce - I recommend adding a third cup, maybe 4 when there are 8 people. The burger was forgettable - their version of medium was well done. The chicken strip meal disappeared fast. The calzone was 90% dough. The beer was hit or miss - I had two good and one awful.

5 stars for the concept alone: a burger wrapped in pizza dough called The Bomb. Genius! Much to my surprise the dough wasn't too thick. Our waitress told me that burger only comes in well done. Before I get scathing comments about a well done burger, trust the process. Very juicy burger. I'd go back for another. Of course we ordered the fried pickles. I love love love fried pickles except fried spears. Not my fave; however, these were tasty. I find them too clunky to eat and usually the breading falls off leaving you with a hot pickle spear --eww! That horseradish aioli dipping sauce concoction is super delish!

Doesn't look like much when you walk by, we missed it the first time and almost the second time, but I'm glad we were eventually able to find it! Haha Solid list of beers all brewed in house. You can see the brewery operation running while you eat, nothing much cooler than that! My girlfriend and I are in town for the Ghost concert and are trying to hit up as many breweries in Tampa that we can and we are really happy this was our first stop. The pretzel was fantastic, the honey mustard was delicious. The beer cheese missed the mark for me, I have had way better elsewhere, but it was still good; had some spice, which was nice. (bars?) The calamari SHINED. Amazing amazing. It had a great balance of sweet, spicy and umami. Guy Fieri has been here and the cider wings are what he got. I wish I knew that before ordering! Maybe next time.

Tampa Bay Brewing Company, or as I like to call it, the friendliest beer spot in town! Been here since perhaps like Gaspars time maybe? Kidding of course! What I'm not kidding about is the long standing quality of this incredible brewery. Picture this: your taste buds doing a happy dance with each sip, surrounded by an atmosphere that feels like a warm, beery hug. They have a different been on tap quite often and if you don't know what you want - get a flight and try them all! I do have to highlight that Dave makes some truly incredible mojitos. I got a coconut flavored one and that extra sprinkle of love as a secret ingredient made all the difference! I will ceremony come back for Daves perfection of mojito alone. It goes without saying that service here is always great and you leave here with uplifted spirits - see what I did there ;) TBBC isn't just a brewery; it's that cool friend who always knows how to throw the best parties, only with a fantastic selection of craft beers. So, if your idea of a perfect evening involves laughter, friends, and top-notch brews, TBBC is your go-to spot. Cheers to good times and even better beers!

Oh man... Love this place! My boyfriend and I popped in for a quick drink and lunch. The food was delicious and I loved trying their beers - lots of citrus and refreshing options. Service was AMAZING - I decided to ask if they could do a little surprise for his birthday, and they pulled out all the stops. The beers were delicious too, so take advantage of them!

Tough spot to get to but the food and beers alone were worth the search! Beers were in large variety, really quick service (we stopped here before our flight) and the outside bar area is really nice to sit at. Plenty of TVs and friendly staff!

Located in historic Ybor City (but off the beaten path) it's a relaxed casual patio and inside seating restaurant. Going in a weekday it's laid back and fairly quiet on the patio. The occasional Trolley goes by adding some background noise. Decent menu lots of beer choices as well as it is a brewing company. The Fish Fry special was very well done and the pizza good as well. Blonde Beer was light and tasty. Service was good and we never really had to wait or ask for refills or the check.

This cute gem of a restaurant and pub is in a new -to- me part of Tampa that I'd never visited before. We hung out with friends old and new on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The nachos were perfect but I would have asked for even more chips ( and salsa). The cheese dip didn't last long enough. Just the right amount of heat. We also had the fried pickles and those were sooo yummy! I could have licked the bowl of dipping sauce-- it was that tasty. Our group enjoyed the samples of beer and other entrées including fish, burgers, and whatnot. My beer cheese soup was perfect. Service was great! Very nice wait staff and everyone else. They were so nice to let us charge phones and hold / watch our luggage while we walked around the area! I'll be back in town for my next cruise and plan on stopping by again!
