The Patio Tampa

Everything about this place is great. Drinks, food, and staff are consistently great. Theme parties and events are always the best. The only downfall is that the parking isn't good.

Such a fun spot! Had a great experience during the Cinco De Mayo bar crawl this past Friday! Great live music and awesome atmosphere. Will definitely check out again next time I’m in Tampa!

Food truck owner didn’t acknowledge a group waiting for 15 minutes then cursed them out when they asked about the wait. Also saw the same EZ sliders guy wipe his nose then grab the food with his bare hand. Wont come back.

Loved drinks but security was rude and bruised me; all of which was unnecessary. Can’t believe they would let people like that guard their business. I don’t recommend going here on busy days AT ALL. SO RUDE. I also went to a micro wrestling event about a month ago that was held here and security were also rude to me my family & friends and I.

Very chill, easy going bar. Small inside bar with darts and then larger, mulit level outside bar/patio with lots of tables and TVs. Great atmosphere. Food truck had decent selection and food was great.

Advertising one price for food and then charging another. $6.95 but $10 when I ordered it. Will be alerting fraudulent to my bank.

Like the name states, it is a patio bar. We came for the Bills game since it is a Bills Mafia designated gathering place in Tampa. Parking is very limited, but why would you drive if you are here for some adult beverages. Buffalo wins were on point. Beer buckets flowing. There are three major bars to serve the patrons. Lots of standing next to a rail room. Come really early if you want a seat. Service was excellent.

This was an awesome Sports bar. Great atmosphere. Plenty of TVs. Beautiful and friendly staff all night. Place was packed and patrons were super friendly as well. Had to wait between drinks a bit each time but only due to a packed house. Drink prices very reasonable...$7-$8 bucks per cocktail and a bucket of beer was $24 bucks. Overall great experience. I will be back my next visit to Tampa!

This place was amazing, bartenders were great, had a great conversation with them, we were just visiting and they gave us many places to try and have us the scoop on the fun places. We will definitely be visiting the Patio on our next trip to Tampa

Keep in mind I came for a Gasparilla event and not on a normal day. We had endless mimosas and a brunch spread. The chef was cooking the eggs fresh on the black top. And the gals serving the mimosas had a great sense of humor and were kind. I really liked how the Patio is the center focal point of this bar. You can't see from the outside, but the inside Patio is a sight!

Chill vibes and killer drink specials! The Patio feels like the perfect summer hangout--laid-back, stylish, and serving up some of the best happy hour deals around. Great drinks, great crowd, and great staff seal the deal.

The manager is a giant tool who refuses to take ownership of his or his staff's mistakes. Instead of apologizing, he devolved from a middle-aged, out-of-shape divorcé into a petulant child and started calling me names 0/10.

I have been to the Patio for a few happy hours. I'd say it is in a good location for St Pete and Tampa folk to meet here. The Patio is spacious and they have a small food stand as well. The parking at The Patio is a little challenging in their lot, but if you're lucky, you can get some street parking.

Bat space is expansive - inside and outside areas. Great for watching sports. Younger crowd. Only a food truck for food . Fun place.

Ouch. Yelp elite denied the free beer at check in. Although disappointed, never deterred. My fast jet flyin, limosin ridin', gold ring wear'in, high fauten ass don't have no trouble, holding, these gators down! I bought just 2 cocktails for each of my 15 friends and I'm fine. Gotta tell ya, that little side piece food truck has the best fries in Tampa! The bar tender looked at me and put the beer right back into the cooler. In my face. Didn't even ask for me to pay for it. Just disposed of it like all the lost loves in his miserable life. I had to laugh! Peace and love my babes!!!!!

This place should be investigated or train their bartenders better. I stopped by the bar on 1/12 for 30 minutes with my girlfriend to grab a quick drink on my birthday. I bought one Michalob Ultra and she had one vodka cran, which with tip totaled $14.91. I later got a random charge on my credit card for $75.69. The one micholob ultra was the only alcohol I had in my system and I don't do drugs, and same with the one drink for my gf and no drugs. We were the only 2 people in our party. I obviously had no clue what this was and I disputed it on my credit card. Instead, I just received an email that someone charged my card 3 captain Morgan's, and 2 yuenglings, and a $40 tip. I never bought any of that or authorized that. I did leave my tab open at the bar and closed it 20 min later when I was ready to go. Someone must've mischarged my card on someone else's tab, because I still got charged for what I purchased and now am stuck with this random tab. I will either be completely reimbursed for this or I will be seeing The Patio management in small claims court. Don't recommend anyone going here and paying card, or else you'll be stuck with the birthday gift of paying someone else's tab like I was.

Crazy place to go watch tv and have a few beers. Get there real early as this place fills up quickly. Wild and crazy atmosphere here and you will remember it unless you drink too much , than maybe not so much.

Got called a Fa***t from the cook working the food truck on the outside patio because I didn't tip him anything when I got my food. Horrible service here from staff need to be looked into. Taller guy with a beard and missing teeth. Great job at hiring here!

I had a delicious chicken ranch wrap and my pups enjoyed a beef burger with nothing. Fun bartenders, nice crowd.

Simply said, go here for casual South Tampa drinking while meeting up with friends to watch sports games on their many tv's. There are 3 bar stations and a variety of table areas. The inside bar is slightly airconditioned and the outside has mounted fans. The bars all have good top shelf liquor. The bar servers are super nice and serve drinks very quickly. They have very cold bottled beer, a variety of craft beer on draught, and Green Tea Shots seemed to be popular while I was there with friends watching College Football on a Satuday afternoon. They have a food truck in the side lot which I thought the Buffalo Chicken Fries were yummy. A little heat and melty cheese sauce. As for bathrooms, I would suggest not waiting until you do the pee pee dance because they almost always have a waiting line when the bar is busy. Parking is alright. There is neighborhood parking and the Fishman place next door has a complimentary parking area after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. Tampa has a lot of dive bars but this one is great for outdoor fun times, drinking and socializing with friends.

I usually don't leave yelp reviews, and swore I would never leave a bad one, but after the treatment we had last night it would be wrong not to. Upon arrival, my party (about 6 other people) and I were asked to sit at the back of the bar inside. While waiting for service, a manager named Sarah approached us and said since there was an incident at the last location and we will not be served because of it. We went to Datz beforehand to grab food and a few of us ignored a very drunk man who kept trying to talk to us, besides us being unengaged. Furious, he knew we had plans to go to The Patio after, and told the bartenders we were on some "list." The man left the bar and when we tried to explain to the manager, she refused to listen to us. We tried to explain this man was harassing us and we didn't want anything to do with him, and she agreed to let some of us drink, but wouldn't let a few members of our party drink because they were "bitching." My friend was simply upset because we were being denied service because they decided to listen to one creepy regular. When my friend asked if she could talk to her alone to try and reason with her, she refused. A bartender already had my tab checked out and ready to go. It was absolutely shocking the lack of conflict skills and judgement the manager had. I don't blame any of the bar tenders for being told what they had to do, but after coming here for the past 5 years, it was pretty upsetting to be asked to leave when we hadn't done anything. I thought bars were supposed to 1.) cut people off when they've had too much, as this man told us he had 7 shots already at the Patio before coming to Datz (did he drink and drive? I'm not too sure but it's likely) 2.) protect women from creepy, antagonizing men Clearly the staff and management don't care about protecting regular people, but would rather appease the scumbag creeps as long as they keep being their little cash pigs. I doubt I'll ever return out of embarrassment of being kicked out for merely existing.

Men's bathroom floor is flooded. You can smell it on the patio. Other than that is bar is ok. Wouldn't be my go to bar.

Nice atmosphere for a Bills bar. Parking is a challenge but very friendly staff and great service!

Terrible place. The service is awful and workers were rude and discriminatory. First time ever going here and it will certainly be the last time. There are so many other great bars in soho.

The restaurant observed the CDC guideline of mask and social distancing for each party. Temperature check was on the entrance. The bar style is open patio with roof covering. I would say they save cost on AC room. I was here for the taco take over Tampa Bay. However, the counter behind the bar area do not know this promotion. In fact, they run out the Alto Margarita. They point to us they do have a food truck in the compound serve the taco. They also can order those food at the counter. The food truck is kind tuck away in the corner. The order only take about 7 minutes. We got the blackened fish taco. I think it is a good deal with taco take over. The fish is fresh with nice blackened I want. The three taco provided in good quantity. The accompanying taco material and sauce is delicious.

Refused Service after being Harassed By Drunk, Crying, Belligerent Man! Last night I went to Datz with my partner and a small group of people who used to work at Datz together. They were there to connect with coworkers they were close to & share memories. A man came up to us named John Camisa who we briefly chatted with. He was very drunk and told us he had 7 shots before seeing us. Unbeknownst to group, something someone in the group said hurt this man's feelings even though there was no direct confrontation or acknowledgment of an issue on his part. Afterwards, our group went to the Patio and waited to be served. As soon as we walked in, Camisa yelled at the bartenders that he would tip better than us & told us that he didn't care about us. We did not engage with him when he made these statements. Then, this grown man (Camisa) LITERALLY cries to the manager at the time and tells her not to serve us. The manager came to us and told us that they could not serve us because there was "an issue" at Datz, even though Camisa never acknowledged the issue to us, and was so drunk that he was slurring, crying, yelling, and could not drive. We asked what the issue was and the manager could not actually tell us what the problem was. We got escorted out by security after questioning why they were kicking us out. Apparently, the hurt feelings of a pathetic, drunk, crying man are enough to get you refused service at this establishment. Denied a group of about 7 people who did absolutely nothing wrong & caused no issues besides questioning the obvious unfairness of this situation. Definitely would never recommend this establishment to anyone & will not be returning. Apparently harassment is protected as long as you're close enough to the management. Hope that man gets the help he so clearly needs.

Won't ever be back. Bartenders in the back were slow, inattentive and basically seemed annoyed anytime you needed a drink.

If I was able to leave zero stars for this place, I wouldn't hesitate. I always told myself I'd never write a bad review after being in the service industry for 5+ years, but this place was so awful in multiple aspects that I feel obligated. I ordered some food from the food truck and the worker was extremely rude/condescending for no reason, even after I left them a solid tip. The Nashville chicken sandwich was repulsive. My girlfriend got a chicken quesadilla and half of it wasn't even as advertised and it looked like chopped up chicken nuggets. I even predicted that I would get sick from this food before getting nauseous enough to violently vomit just a couple hours later. Couldn't find the bathroom and another employee was rude about pointing it out as if it's simple to find with no signs. The whole bathroom just wreaked like throw-up and was so nasty I had to hold my breath in there to avoid getting sick. The patrons were all alcoholics that seemed like regulars and were entitled/rude. Multiple guys trying to get a reaction out of me for wearing bills gear as if this isn't a bills "backer" bar? We had a great bartender who was very kind and helpful. If it wasn't for her I probably would have been calling out everyone who was rude to me before I left, and I'm sure they would have started even more drama judging by past reviews here. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND. This is a pig sty that is only successful due to the amount of trashy regulars and I think anyone can see that is evident. I regret spending a single dime here.

Big fan of the patio. Decided to walk there after my lunch at the nearby 4 Rivers. Really cool indoor/outdoor vibe. Huge patio with tons of palm trees. Great prices and service. Good music. Lots of TVs. Would def go back.

Atmosphere is pretty good but drinks are over priced. Ordered a Bloody Mary and it was well vodka with Mr. and Mrs. Ts. Not even a lime or a little salt and it was $10 plus tax and tip. You can get a jug of that mix for under $8. Very sad /:

I've renamed this place as 'Heaven' in my iPhone locations, because there are so many angels here. Whoever hired Dani, Nikki, Liv, Michala and Steph is a saint. Love the service, love the specials, love the vibes. Go here if you want to have fun.

Great service here at the patio. Monday special, $4 Absolutes! What could go wrong? Patrons have their dogs here around 3-4p which is cool. No food trucks on Monday though.

Friendly staff great service came from out of town and they showed us a great time with great mixed drinks and shots masahiko the bartender was really quick

Nice place, came in for a drink ordered my drink and blonde chick gave me something I didn't order, then came back and asked for another drink and she did the same thing twice.

The Patio is going to have a special place in my heart because it is the Gator bar. The spot to watch a game and drink a decently priced white claw bucket. The staff are awesome and there is a food truck too. Parking is a little tough but the atmosphere for any sport on any game day is fun. It's open air so bring a pup! That being said when it rains it pours and being uncovered on the patio sucks so pay attention to the weather. If you check in on Yelp you get a free draft beer! This place needs renovations but it's honestly a go too bar for a game watch party (Lightning, Bucs, Gators, Ray's) because there are TVs everywhere and it draws a fun crowd!

Service was great. BEST BAR EVER. DRINKS WERE GREAT. Shirley Temple was amazing! thanks Sara!!! Recommend coming!

Staff was very slow moving. The clientele were all wasted and loud. Not a good place to go to. Won't be back.

Solid bar with a pretty good vibe. Music felt overwhelming at times. Beer bucket it super cheap. Will definitely be back.

Great outdoor area that feels hidden away with a sort of florida-tiki-country bar vibes. Lots of seating and our drinks were good. We went late on a Sunday and even though it wasn't busy, both outdoor bars were being tended. The music was varied: country, hiphop, edm, you name it. We're considering bringing our wedding party here once our venue closes and we still want to get a couple more hours of partying in.

Nice place to hang w friends or by yourself, eat good wings or fries w lots of spots w plenty TVs. Friendly servers; came on MNF to watch TAMPA vs Giants really a nice atmosphere to finish your day or start it..

This place has made my summer. Although it's been hot. My husband and I have tried to find a local watering hole that still has outdoor seating. The staff makes us feel comfortable and like we are regulars even though we are newer to the area. Sara, Dani, and Cait have been the best but all of the staff has been amazing. Definitely will continue to be a "regular" here.

The food truck worker that's missing teeth was rude, wouldn't recommend the food truck!

I love the Patio!!! The drinks are cheap they always have great music whether it's live or not The parking is scarce and that's my only complaint but than again it's SOHO I definitely say it's a perfect bar for a chill night nothing bougie

We went here the other night to watch the fight and the place was packed! Our friends and I loved the atmosphere and the drinks were priced fairly well. The initial inside of the patio is not very big but then it open out to this massive courtyard! It was the middle of the night so not sure what it looks like during the day but it was a beautiful night and there are several trees that seem like they provide shade during the day. They have heaters for those cold Florida nights and several T.V.s and a projection screen. I did not get a chance to try any of food but feel I must return soon in order to do so. I will say the only drawback would be that the tables and floors were rather sticky from all the people drinking and the bartenders not able to keep up with the cleaning. There is also not a lot of parking and we had to park in the adjacent lot.

my bartender arielle made my first experience super welcoming and her knowledge of craft cocktails allowed me to really enjoy everything about the establishment. I will definitely be coming back! 10/10 recommend

Masahiko gives the best service! I always have a good time at Patio. Probably my favorite spot to go to in the South Howard vicinity

You must try the smoked wings, Flash fried. Friendliest bartenders in the Tampa Bay area. Don't forget to ask for Stephanie.

I love the Patio!!! It's our second home. The bartenders know us by name, so does the manager. There's an inside area and an outside area depending on your mood/the weather. This place is the modern Cheers. Come here. You'll be treated well.

I was a patron at the patio on 4/22/21 and the music was so loud it was not enjoyable. I had expressed my concerns to the owner and he did not do anything about. Everyone in the bar/patio are shaking their heads because of how loud it is. TPD came and told them to lower the sound but they continue to play extremely loud. Can't talk to the person across the table 2-3 feet away without yelling. Unreal.

Best boobs. No, bartenders. Best of both worlds. Go nowhere else if only one place you can go. Palm trees, stiff drinks & food made to order. Be disappointed if you don't show. Only bar in town that's a "must go to" for everyone.

Best bar staff in tampa! My home away from home for years. Come by to see Matt and sarah

My favorite spot in town! Tuesday is hospitality night, just show one of the girls your HotSchedules!!!!! New Amsterdam and High Noons available, and gator games on Saturday! I can always count on the girls at the patio to make me a killer drink :)

Went to The Patio for the second time last Sunday, and we had the pleasure of being served by Dani and Matt. They make an excellent, well rounded team, and they are both so interesting to talk to. The Patio is a great Sunday spot. They also let us know that Tuesday nights are great. Matt made an excellent whiskey based cocktail for my fiancé in a mason jar. The vibe on Sunday was definitely fun, and it drew a bit of a crowd around 10 pm. It's definitely a neighborhood bar, with excellent service and friendly patrons.

Bouncer saw my hand bleeding from the mirror in the bathroom breaking, I asked for a band aid and he kicked me out telling me that "I was done" . ? Still confused as of how I got kicked out for cutting my hand on broken glass in your bar bro..., seriously? Had just gotten there 10 minutes before this happened. BIG white boy DOUCHE. Dude will get his ass beat next time for sure if he tries something like that with someone else. Hope it's not one of my friends. We USED to go there all the time until that happened. Good thing I was in a good mood

The bartenders here are superior! My favorites are Dani, Hailey, and Olivia. They all take amazing care of you and make sure you feel at home. Even when it's super busy, they are very attentive and very hospitable. I've been coming here for years and they treat you like family! Great place for football and hockey games also. You can't find a better place in south Tampa!

We went to this bar because my friend had a Living Social deal. I like the outdoor patio in the back and it is dog friendly so people with dogs can bring their furry friends. We went on a Wednesday night after work for a couple drinks so it was not crowded, but I understand it gets busy at other times. I don't think I would like going if it was really crowded and had more of a night club feel. Parking is limited but we managed to get the last two spots. Anyway, decent service from the bar, good pours, would definitely go back.

Super friendly staff and amazing atmosphere for all sports games (especially football)
