Enjoyed the location. Loved the outdoor patio. The beers were well above average. The food was outstanding and the portions were insanely HUGE!! OMG. The waitress was friendly when stopped, but her attention to us was a bit slow. And they were not busy at all. That was my only critisicsm. I enjoyed it!

Sat outside in the disconnected bar back near the railroad tracks. The bar has water misting fans running to beat the heat. Sampled the beer pretzel, which, by the way was amazing with the cheese sauce. But, that’s all we ate there. Chatted it up a little with some locals. A nice relaxing place.

Visited on a brew tour this weekend. My friends and I sat inside at the bar as they opened. The service was very good, some of the beers were great, and it was right next to the theater. The food was ok, and the hummus was about average. I was disappointed that they have a Maudite tap handle, but they have not had Muadite in a month or so (bartender says). The cask beer was ok, their beer was respectable, and I would come back here again.

Second visit today with a group of small friends. First visit since the move. Now in a much nicer and larger location. Great food, lighting, decor(could use more TVs), and the beer was phenominal. Got a sampler with 9 beers for 13.50. Not bad at all. Dissapointed that they didn’t have any casked this time... I’ll be back.

One of my favourite spot to go to for a beer in Ybor City. Take advantage of the outside bar or their mug club. Recently, the food has gotten a little pricier. The quality is far above the average bar/pub food and I have alwasy found it to be very diversified. They use some of their beers to cook. Great food (love the hamburgers, cheese ale dip), many lunch specials. Friendly staff always ready to help. Most of the bartenders know their beers and will make good recommendations. The brewmaster can sometimes be found outside sipping on a beer and always open to discussion and questions. A wide variety of beers, from blonde to stout with the occasional special / seasonal are often available. Place can get a little hectic on Friday & Saturday nights. A beer lover’s place one has to visit when touring the Tampa area.

Visited TBB in March 2008 on a Saturday afternoon. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the food selection was very good. Beer selection was limited beyond the TBB beers, and most of those were nothing to write home about. Overall, if you are looking for a brewpub atmosphere in the Ybor area, this one won’t disappoint too much. Most of the waitstaff didn’t really seem to know beer beyond what they are trained to say about their own.

Very good start to a nice evening in Ybor. I couldn’t decide on which beer to start with, so I tried the sampler. Total of 10 beers, two were cask, the Iron Rat was my favorite. Had a burger, it was good. Our waiter was excellent, great advice on the beers.

Burgers were the best I ever had. There were 7 their own brews on tap, including a barleywine, plus some guest beers. Porter was good, but did not care for Stout. Was disappointed cask ale only available Thursday night, while it lasts. Ybor city nice area to visit - Columbia restaurant two blocks away definitely worth a visit.

Wide selection of beer styles, some good and some not so good. The food offerings are better than average. The rain kept me from enjoying the outside bar area. Parking could be an issue, still would be worth your time.
