High-energy taproom originally opened in 1938 featuring drink specials & a quirky wall mural.
Absolutely love the vibe of this historic dive bar. The staff is HILARIOUS, attentive and fun! Always a good time, good drinks, good laughs! A regular stop of us on a night out in Tampa.
I came into this bar with a group of friends to play darts and support a local spot, but we were met with unnecessary hostility from the bartender, Jeremy. My friend had just turned 21 a week ago and brought his valid ID, which Jeremy questioned and then demanded a second form of ID with both name and date of birth. Despite showing credit cards, a student ID, and even offering a photo of his passport, Jeremy rudely dismissed everything, insisting on a physical copy of a passport, which is unrealistic to carry on a night out. While we understand the importance of verifying age, there’s a respectful way to do it — and Jeremy made it clear he didn’t want us there from the start. He was unprofessional, condescending, and created an uncomfortable atmosphere for no reason. We weren’t being loud or rowdy — just wanted to play darts and enjoy the night. It’s disappointing to be treated so poorly at what’s supposed to be a welcoming neighborhood dive bar. We won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a laid-back and respectful environment
The bartender Josh, did a great job making me feel welcome. I travel frequently and meet al types of people. The people in this bar are authentic! I can't wait to return with my family.
5/10/24 I guess my profile makes an impact on people some positive, some negative, some rudeness comes out, this bartender had that redneck face on me, when I asked what's good, not Latino friendly, I am a polite Latino, I automatically apologized for being at this location, that made him calmed down a little, he still gave me a cheap beer , instead of the Stella I asked for, been drinking for 45 years. He hardly shows customer service with me , he was cool W/ the white folks. I moved away to finish my beer and left. If u belong to a minority group, stay away. Play it safe and go where u feel welcome.
A true hidden gem of downtown Tampa. Every time we come here the vibe is great and the staff is amazing! They have my favorite beer on tap, darts, pool, basketball and just overall a great spot to hang out with friends. Definitely a must visit if you’re in the area!
