A nice ambiance and decent selection. Couldn’t really complain about the food or service either. A good stop while in Ybor!

Établissement visité le jeudi 12 mars vers 13. Ambiance: Jolie terrasse avec fontaine centrale. Très grand restaurant avec vue sur la brasserie. Musique soft-rock en sourdine.

Nourriture: Nous avons pris le "Brewer’s Choice Burger" ainsi que le "Grilled Blackened Chicken Burger". (127e rating d’établissement)

I had nine different beers in a sampler here. Any time you can try 9 different ones at a brewpub, I call that a good trip. All of the beer was good. The imperial stout and barleywine were standouts. A must visit in Tampa.

In the tourist part of town, well patrolled by police. The place is very nice, with a covered but outdoor bar and tables, and an inside part with the main bar, and there I was. Service is very attentive, maybe too much so. A bit of knowledge about the beers. The barleywine is the one worth having. Friendly touristy crowd, and I would return even though no guest taps.

Has a corporate feel but still manages to feel like a nice place to sit for a while. Large outdoor patio area. Good service and a great excuse to see Ybor.

Pretty typical brewpub atmosphere, nothing to report. Food was okay. I quite liked the beers, though. The basic session beers were strong, at least as strong as the seasonals. I favored the maltier styles here.

I visited this place back in November of 2008. It is located right off the strip in Ybor City. Outside, there is a large patio and a bar. The inside decor has lots of dark wood and many booths and tables. A long bar is located on the right, with yet another bar in the rear of the place. It appears as though this place can get very busy depending on the night and time of the year. It was quite dead on election night. The bathrooms are tucked in the back. They are pretty clean and classy. The entire vibe of the place is struggling between trying to be upscale and trying to be a good party joint. The bartenders were pretty inattentive and they didn’t seem to be too knowledgeable. They had a good deal of beers on...about 11 with a few special seasonals. The beers were pretty good. The burger I had was unmemorable.

Visited last year in early December, the pub is situated in an interesting and accessible part of town. Fun background music, tons of booths and Christmas lights, and a dark moody restaurant feel works well. Nine interesting brews of their own on tap, with a new one out (a rauchbier, at the time). Service was good and helpful and present when we needed him. Food was a delicious salmon meal. Overall, a great pub. Much thanks to boboski for the escort from Orlando to visit my roommate’s sister and her future hubby!

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!
