The Blind Goat Food & Drink Co.

I stopped into The Local Goat in Tampa with my son for a couple beers and some food, and honestly we were pleasantly surprised. The food was actually really good — way better than your typical bar food — and everything came out hot and quick. Just so it’s clear, though, this place is absolutely a bar, not a quiet restaurant. It’s loud, crowded, and the crowd is definitely on the younger side. Music was blasting the whole time, TVs covering every wall, and they even have a vending machine with beer and gum in it, which is kind of hilarious but fits the vibe. Service overall was solid. Most of the staff was friendly and on top of things. Only one girl working was rude for no reason, but everyone else made up for it. Drinks were cold, food was great, and despite the noise, we had a good time. One thing I loved — it’s basically a Pittsburgh bar in the middle of Tampa. Seeing IC Light on tap down here was an unexpected bonus. If you want a quiet dinner, this isn’t the place. But if you’re looking for good food, loud music, and a fun bar atmosphere, The Local Goat hits the mark. I’d go back.

The Blind Goat – Great Spot for Food, Drinks & Fun! The Blind Goat is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy a good time. The atmosphere is welcoming and laid-back, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, making it a great value whether you're grabbing a meal or just some drinks. They also have pool tables and other entertainment options, which add to the fun vibe. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a casual spot to eat, hang out, and unwind.

The Blind Goat is a fun local FSU bar. They host fun weekly events like bingo and trivia. The food is incredible! Pizzas are delicious and the apps are all fantastic. Be sure to check the drink special and food special of the day. The bartenders and servers are friendly and attentive. A great place to hangout in South Tampa!

Stopped by Bling Goat on a Monday and was blown away. The service was excellent from start to finish, friendly, fast, and genuinely attentive. Their Goat Drip was unlike anything I’ve tried before, rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The Buffalo Chicken Pizza came out perfectly crisp with just the right amount of spice, and the Pooty Tang Wings were full of bold flavor and cooked perfectly. You can tell they take real pride in what they serve. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in town.

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 🍻🍔🎯📺

The owner George made my birthday so special! A place to take my friends, it was so beautiful!! Thank you George for taking care of me and my party! Best Bar in Tampa!👏 GEORGE is the best!

I stopped into The Blind Goat with my son recently for a couple of beers and some food, and I’ll be honest, we went in expecting typical bar food and a casual stop. What we got was a genuinely fun experience with food that was much better than expected, a lively atmosphere, and a place that clearly understands its crowd. First off, the food deserves real credit. This is not throwaway bar food. Everything came out hot, fresh, and well-prepared, and you can tell there’s actual thought put into the menu. The wings live up to the hype crispy, flavorful, and cooked properly, with dry rubs and sauces that stand out from the usual options you find everywhere else. The mac and cheese is rich and comforting, the giant pretzel is perfect for sharing, and the pizzas are surprisingly good for a bar setting. Portions are solid and prices feel fair for Tampa, especially considering the quality. The drinks are another highlight. The beer selection is strong, with good variety, and their specialty drinks (like the Goat Drip) are creative and well-balanced. It’s a great place to grab a couple of beers, but also fun if you want something different than the usual well drink. Atmosphere-wise, The Blind Goat really shines. It’s lively, energetic, and social without feeling chaotic. There’s always something going on sports on TV, music, trivia, bingo nights, and games like darts, cornhole, pool, Jenga, and more. The indoor space has a fun bar vibe, and the outdoor patio is a huge plus, especially on cooler evenings. It’s the kind of place where you can come with friends, family, or even just hang out and end up staying longer than planned. The staff and ownership also make a big difference. Service is friendly and welcoming, and while it can slow down a bit during busy peak times, the staff stays professional and attentive. You can tell the owner and team care about the place and their guests, which gives the bar a strong neighborhood feel. Multiple regulars clearly treat this as their go-to spot. The reason this earns four stars instead of five mostly comes down to minor inconsistencies that naturally come with a busy, popular bar. During peak hours, service can take a little longer, and the music can get loud great for the vibe, but not ideal if you’re looking for a quieter conversation. A few menu limitations (like sides or availability during rushes) are noticeable but not deal-breakers. Overall, The Blind Goat is a standout local bar that offers far better food than expected, a fun and welcoming atmosphere, solid drinks, and plenty to do. Whether you’re there for wings and football, a casual night out, or just grabbing a beer and some food, it’s absolutely worth the visit—and very easy to come back again.

Stopped in to grab a bite after my nephew football game. Wings are the best also the mac'n cheese is delicious! Definitely coming back.

This is a fun Sports bar. We love the Steelers paraphernalia! Hung out for beers and cocktails. This place is always busy!

What a vibe! Sposedly a college hang out but it was a Thursday night and seemed like an older crowd. This bar is on a corner with inside and outside seating. We opted to sit inside and were promptly greeted by our server who was quick with our drinks and food. Not a noisy night but apparently it can be .... Food was great and drinks were too!

First time here. Didnt catch my servers name but she was very nice and always smiling. No frills bar but the hole in the wall spots have some of the best food. The Pooty Tang Wings and the macaroni tasted like heaven. The sauce was full of flavor and the wings were very crispy even with them being oven baked. The macaroni was also divine. I'll be back very soon!

Stopped in to watch a few football games. This spot has drinks, TVs and food. Pretty cool sports bar to catch a game with a fun and entertaining crowd. Didnt try any of the food on this visit, just drinks. Parking lot can get packed on game days so a near by parking lot tied to a Dr's office can be used also.

The goat cheese french onion dip... that is all. No but seriously, this place is the cutest. I'm a huge dive bar fan and this place checks all the boxes. Yummy and CHEAP - everything you could want in a Friday night spot.

Fun, loud, social! Amazing place with amazing wings :) The service is a bit difficult because its so popular and packed that there is a line to order but then they serve you at the tables. There was karaoke, bull riding, and everything else you'd want at a night out!

I've never gone here and not had a good time. It truly has the neighborhood dive nailed. Good food served late. A large bar you can sit at, as well as high tables and a medium sized patio. Happy hour and daily specials. Game nights for trivia. And music that can play all decades as well as top 40s. The crowd is always mixed and welcoming for all ages and walks of life.

One of my favorite bars in Tampa bay! Always a good time, great specials, karaoke, bingo, trivia nights, etc. bartenders are great and always smiling! Stadium pretzel is delicious and the espresso martinis :) yum!

Ordered a pineapple coconut mojito and got a nasty tasting margarita. Drinks were no good ambience is ok because of the college football games.

We love the weekly bingo on Tuesdays. It gets pretty busy but the servers are on it. The buffalo chicken dip and pretzel are our favs!

My friend and I came to Blind Goat to enjoy some wings and a drink. She had the Moscow Mule and I had a margarita. Both were very good! But hands down, the wings were the best!! This is now one of my favorite wing spots in Tampa. The only part I wasn't a fan of is the auto 18% gratuity. The bar is a nice place but not fancy enough to call for the auto gratuity in my opinion.

Amazing atmosphere, great service, and the best wings in Tampa. 10/10 recommend! Saturday and Sundays, they have bottomless mimosas!

I had the best time last week at trivia with Justin! He is so much fun and kept the fun going even after some chick caused a stink when she got busted cheating on her phone!

The max and cheese was sooo good. That's the post. The bar is really nice, a little small, but it felt Like a local bar and cozy. Parking, I can see being a problem but we got there around 7 amd had no issue. They have live music, games outside, and a great selection of beers. The wings were also very good but that Mac and cheese shined!! I will definitely be back.

When watching our granddaughters (3&5) we always take them here for dinner. They love the food, TVs, and overall ambiance. The service and drinks are always great. Would highly recommend

The Blind Goat I think just became my new favorite sports bar in Tampa. They have a deal everyday Monday - Friday. They also have happy hour Monday - Friday from 3pm to 7pm. We really enjoyed our food and drinks. The Three Cheese Mac was delicious and the wings were also tasty I have no complaints. For Fridays they have a deal on freshly squeezed Margaritas which was well balanced and actually one of the better Margaritas I've ever had. The service was also very friendly and attentive. Overall it was a really good experience and I'm excited to go again and play some darts.

The Blind Goat Food and Drink Co.- South Tampa Great place to hang out with friends. They strive to create a top-shelf social experience for the local community, while also staying true to the roots. A definte place to hang out if you love games, sport games, sports bar, or live music. Trendy place for fun entertaining people. Come by and check them out.

I've been going to Blind Goat a bunch recently, whether it be for trivia night, Bucs games, or bingo! I really enjoy their trivia nights and bingo; the service is always great, everyone's in a good mood, and the announcer's commentary is a lot of fun. When we went to watch the Bucs game, we were a little thrown off by the specials pricing. The menu says it ends at 2:30, but once we decided what we wanted, our server told us it actually ends at 1pm kickoff, which was a little disappointing. My main recommendation would be to have a disclaimer on the menus, or change it entirely. I've tried a few food items, including the dry rub wings, hummus plate, and nachos. I am not typically a fan of the cheese on nachos at sports bars, and I felt similarly about these - I don't like that sticky liquidy cheese, I prefer real melted cheese. I thought the hummus plate was good and I like that they give you pita as well as veggies. And lastly, I loooove the dry-rub wings here.

Absolutely incredible service! Anybody who says otherwise must have fallen asleep on the bar counter after being passed out drunk and unable to be served. Great customer service! Responsive, and friendly! 10/10 would recommend!

Packed on a Wednesday night, that's a great sign! We rolled up during trivia, unbeknownst to us, and the bar was standing room only, maybe a stray bar stool. We stuck around and it thinned out quite a bit after trivia around 1030. I think the kitchen closes around then as well, bar closed at midnight. Wednesdays had some specials including a 2 for 5$ green tea shot (whiskey based, tasty), and a 1 meat cheesy bread. We opted for a Margherita pizza and a goat cheese french onion dip w chips. The pizza was super thin crust but good toppings, tasty and cooked well done. The dip was also fine but to me didn't have enough French onion flavor, it was served w kettle chips. They also had sandwiches and salads in addition to the pizzas and dips. I really liked the decorations around the bar, it was decked out for Gasparilla, lots of pirate flags and beads. We have friends in from out of town that are going to their first Gasparilla and they got a kick out of how much Tampa goes in. I did not get a picture but there is shelving w board games on it including 3 boxes for Dominion and expansions which I thought was rad, the rest is typical party games you'd expect to see. There are also darts inside and the patio which has cute lights up has a pool table and other typical bar patio stuff like corn hole. All in all, this is a great neighborhood bar which I wish was closer to my neighborhood. We had quite the drive from Wesley Chapel but were meeting friends staying out that way. I don't think you can go wrong stopping in especially if you like trivia nights since it was quite competitive and ended in a 3 way chug off

It's crazy that place has only three options for brunch, but I still love it more than most brunch places to be honest. I was with two other people on this day and so we all tried one thing each from the three-option brunch menu and I have to say they were all delicious especially the pizza. I love that they have $15 bottomless, mimosas or bloody Mary's especially since I'm a bloody Mary fan and that's not usually a thing lol. I'll always recommend the blind goat. Whether it's for late night bites which it's my go to place for wings, or brunch, or even to go watch the lightning game. Pro tip they get super packed during lightning playoffs time so that's a good place to go to get hyped during the playoff season.

Love this place! Kid friendly, very laid back and friendly atmosphere. and food and service is very fast! Food tasted so good and fresh! Loved the pretzel and the cheese and honey mustard dips are both soo good! Buffalo mac and cheese was definitely one of the best mad and cheese dishes I have had. And my drink was perfectly sweet and not too strong. Would definitely recommend. Great happy hour and daily specials too!

The wings were excellent! We came to try them and we were not disappointed. The service was spectacular; our waitress was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed the cocktails as well but must say the Asian style wing sauce was to die for! We will be back! Amazing date night bar and restaurant!

Excellent service. Greeted as soon as we walked in. Server promptly came to our table with waters. Food came out quickly and was HOT. The giant pretzel was buttery with just the right amount of salt. The wings are baked but are super crispy, saucy, and delicious.

Fun sports bar! The indoor area has a bar, seating and games like darts and arcade games. There are TVs everywhere so this is a great spot to watch some sports games. We went on a Friday and there was live music and was pretty busy. There were also people with children so it is family friendly. They have happy hour M-F from 3pm-7pm and other deals on different days of the week. We had the $5 margaritas (for happy hour), the Mac and cheese and the wings. The wings, in their special Pooty Tang sauce were delicious. They asked us if we wanted any extra sauce but didn't clarify that it would be extra so that was a bit misleading and we didn't realize until we had our bill.

Fun neighborhood bar with great deals. The service was excellent from the bartenders Maggie, Colleen, Tui and Emily.

Enjoyed our last night in with some takeout! Wings 10/10! We got Buffalo & parm garlic!

Thr food, the service, the ambience. 10/10 A Tampa staple. Viva LA Goat! Best weekend brunch and all you can drink deal I've ever seen.

UPDATE: the owner acknowledged my suffering and the problem has since been fixed, now updated to five stars i am BEGGING them to get rid of the porta potties outside. here rn and it smells like SHIT in the outdoor seating area. everything else is cool but PLEASE end our suffering, like half the seating is outside i can't be subjected to this every night i come here

Just getting around to this 4.5 star review with no half stars available. I totally picked this place because I needed a goat on a pint glass being the Capricorn that I am! Our server Emma was patient as we figured out what beer we wanted. She checked on us and the other patrons often. No worries that you'll be dying of thirst or waiting to place an order. To be fair we were there for lunch. Wasn't crowded which makes that service even more special. Do not be afraid of the baked wings. They come out crispy, juicy, well-seasoned and nicely coated in your sauce of choice. Bae & I started with the Buffalo chicken dip. My second fave appetizer is there aren't any fried pickles on the menu. Let's just say we went in! Not too spicy and a good chicken/cheese/sauce ratio. We ordered 24 wings and 3 sauces. I've made it a thing to either order garlic parm or lemon pepper for my first time getting wings somewhere. Here I got the Garlic Parm. The sauce appears to have a lot of garlic chunks but I didn't get a strong garlicky flavor. The wings were delicious. The appearance is different. I wouldn't order these again. Bae selected Carolina Gold for his sauce. Mind you were are in FL and not our home state or NC. The flavor did not disappoint. I am used to a more golden orange colored sauce but these delivered. We decided on the Pooty Tang sauce for the 3rd one. Yyyyaasss! This sauce understood the assignment. I can't remember how Emma described it. I can't remember the taste well enough to deceive it with words other than "Yum! Get this sauce". For my tender tongues it doesn't bring the heat. There is enough of a kick to balance the sweet. Trust me this is a highly flavorful sauce. And Bae ordered the and cheese. I don't think I tasted it. I was too busy working on the Buffalo chicken dip. He said it was okay. If you're in Tampa then definitely stop by this place. Next time we'll go during the evening for a more what I assume will be a more lively experience. On this day we wanted good food, good drinks and a chill vibe. They delivered!

Delicious pizza. Had the Bruce Lee Roy. The pooty tang sauce is outstanding. This crispy crust pizza. Fair amount of beers on tap. Friendly service. It's a very loud bar inside, so beware if that's not your thing. Outside games like cornhole outside. Fun for everyone

Fun vibe to watch sports and go somewhere with a big group! Food is mid- bottomless deal is great Staff is super nice

When I don't have picture just keep in mind once I started eating didn't stop till plate was empty. The wu-tang wings ain't nothing to F--k wit. If you know you know. The atmosphere was awesome, the service was great, and you already know how feel about the wings. Great flavor and crispy. Get here you will thank me later.

Classic, good spot for drinks and even late night food. We come here and play darts or even just hang outside.

So wings are literally my top favorite food to eat and anywhere I go and see wings on the menu I always order to see what they are about and how the establishment executes them. I was so intrigued the first time going to the Blind Goat they didn't have fryers and their wings are fully oven baked! I can honestly say they are some of the best wings I have ever had and the Wu tang sauce is off the chain! The next time you go definitely get the wings! I promise you will not be disappointed!

We decided to go to this neighborhood bar by the office. The boss said he had heard good things about it. Was he wrong. The food was horrible. We got a bunch of different things but the most traumatizing was the soft pretzel. It was not soft. I was actually able to hit it against the plate and it wouldn't break. The nachos had a processed cheese taste to it. The only decent item was the Pooty Tang wings even though they said they would be spicy. The servers weren't attentive enough even though the bar was dead on Thursday pre dinner. I would not come back to this place.

Went to trivia with my friends and the trivia host was extremely aggressive and did uncomfortable things towards us and when I told him I was going to complain he said "go ahead I'm the only reason this place fills up" so yea none of us will be coming back if that's the type of people who are in charge there

Love the Goat. Amazing employees and wings. Great trivia nights on Wednesdays and monthly 90s parties. I even re yes it out for my birthday party with a micro wrestling show. Ask for wings like Ronnie. They'll take longer but worth the wait.

Drinks are bad. Ordered a dry extra dirty martini and she asked ne if that meant I didn't want olive juice...also they put about half vermouth. Tried to play it safe and order a cosmo..they put champagne in it. If ur only gonna hire pretty girls can u at least make sure they know what they're doing. Very much a dive bar trying not to be a dive bar. Go to Pete's.

This was our first stop in Tampa and I would definitely recommend to stop here while in town for some food and drinks. The staff is super cool and attentive. The manager made us feel welcomed and even gave us shots on the house to welcome us into the city! They have games to play outside and a cute set up inside. They have all these beer taps around; it's interesting to see what beers they have or had have. I love how they have beer + shot menu. I had the Canadian handshake which was a Canadian beer and a shot of crown. We had the Buffalo chicken pizza and wings to share. I would skip out on the pizza personally but the wings are a must. I'm not really into baked or grilled wings but I was pleasantly surprised with these wings. They were crispy and hot and delicious. My only complaint is that I wish they offered fries as a side cause I would've loved to have some wings and fries lol.

Local sports bar with a good ambiance and probably the best wings and pizza in town. Had the bruce lee roy pizza and the carolina gold wings when I came in for trivia. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend checking it out!

We were in Tampa so we wanted to try out a new spot for some food and drinks. Found this place on yelp and it seemed like a good spot. We walked in and there was plenty of seating. We sat at the bar. Bartender was great and very friendly. My wife got a mojito and she loved it. She is pretty picky with liquor drinks too. I ordered a jim beam and coke and it was decently strong. Wife order 8 wings and I got a pizza. The wings here are baked. They were good but i prefer fried wings. In order to get a crispy skin on the baked wings they need to be over cooked. The pizza is super thin and was just OK. A little to crunchy at the crust and lacking flavor. This place seems like a fun spot and its great to have a couple drinks and watch a sporting event. I totally forgot to take pictures while I was there! Doh!

My only concern is the Greek salad was room temperature on the top. I mixed it with my fork and the rest was chilled to a proper temperature. The salad was very good and alcoholic drinks were priced very fair. My server was friendly and efficient. I moved here this year and was pleased to find The Blind Goat only three miles from my new residence.

The ambiance is second to none!! Plus the food is killer, just don't fall asleep after ordering.

Great vibe as soon as we walked in, great setup with a lot of tv's to watch football and the music was good as well! Friendly staff and food wasn't bad at all!! Will definitely return

Not sure whats going on with the pizza. I ordered a sausage off Ubereats with mushrooms and peppers. Its called Freaking Good Pizza on Ubereats. But its terrible. No mushrooms or peppers, and the sausage was 1 tiny slice carved into 4 even tinier pieces. No flavor whatsoever. The crust is so thin, it crumbles in your hand. Will never ever eat this ripoff again.

Pouting wings are bomb. Great scenery inside and out. Drinks are awesome and everyone is enjoyable.
