Tampa Bay Brewing is a great BrewPub. It is more than a one story ugly strip mall. Ybor City is the historic area of Tampa. No way is it a Strip Mall, as one reviewer claimed. We have been to TBB a several times on every visit to Tampa. The service and Ales and food seem better every time we go. The last time we went our server was a young man who immigrated to this country with his family years ago. He made our dinner enjoyable. My daughter and wife do not enjoy the BrewPub experience like I do. But they do like Tampa Bay Brewing. That is saying a lot. My daughter and wife can make eating out a difficult choice. When in Tampa they are always willing to go. A word of caution: If you have a family of younger ones, go before 8:00 p.m. The twenty somethings come out at that time. They go bar hopping and the language at times can damage young ears.

Found Tampa Brewing Company in a strip mall type location, had both indoor and outdoor sitting (not much of a view). Found a seat at the bar with a drink menu, but bar tenders where more concerned about their hair and what magazine cover Britney Spears was this week. Tried a couple of the their beers and both where average taste and where priced above the average cost of these beers. Finished beers at Tampa Brewing Company and went back to hotel to finish my Samual Adams variety six pack which was much better.

I was in town for business and stopped by on a Monday night. I had the chips and salsa (homemade) and a chef's special of Mahi with chili sauce and risotto. The recommended beer was One Night Stand Pale ale and I had 2 pints of that :)
Highly recommended!

This place brought us from Vermont to Tampa!!!! Seriously though, had Tampa Bay Brewing Co. not been here, we probably would not have considered moving here! The new place is starting to grow on us & we love the outside seating/bar area! The Iron Rat & Red Eye are the favorites, plus the cheese & ale dip rocks! Very friendly place to relax & unwind from a hectic day.

Finally had the chance to get back up to Tampa and try the new location. The food was great as usual and the beers were as enjoyable as ever. We were there for lunch today(Sat) and the service was very quick. The only problem we had was trying to hear one another as the music was way to loud for a conversation!!

Visited their new location in January 2007. They are now located in the 'mall' at 1600 E. 8th Avenue. Nice modern setup. Not as quaint as their original, but nice. Also, their website info here is obsolete. Their new site is www.tampabaybrewingcompany.com. Why doesn't the TBBC management supply timely info to this important website? Good question.

We can to this resturant on a Saturday night and where seated right away. Five minutes later a man told us our sever will be with us shortly and then came back after two minutes and asked if he could get us something to drink, which was nice. My boyfriend order un-sweet tea but there where no surgars for him and we decided to wait for our sever. twenty minutes later a man said, "Hi, I will be right with you" and then he countinued to circle his tables over and over again till we got fed up and left. It was our first and last visit to this resturant. We did, however have a very nice time in Ybor at a different resurant. It was up stairs across from the thearter called M.J. Barleys Hoppers. Great food and great service.

I had the chance to visit this fine establishment in late 2003 and thoroughly enjoyed thier selection of weizen beers. I live in Georgia and only wish I could find the same selection here.

Review of their new location. They only had three beers on at the time. I tried the IPA which was as good as always. My wife had their other ale on offer and they also had a porter on too. Food as always was great. Table service was weak as our guy was new. I generally sit at the bar to avoid this BS...

I live 5 hours from Tampa and always spend a lot of time here when I am in town. My wife and I went to the Boat Show last weekend and, of course, had our meals and snacks planned around Tampa Bay Brewing. Imagine our chagrin when we arrived there and the place was dark. Just a sign on the window "we are moving to centero ybor soon". Talk about disappointed (but at least we were happy they were not gone for good)! We walked through the central eating/entertainment area of Ybor and literally followed the smell of barley to what will be the new Tampa Bay Brewing. It was still very much in construction phase. I pined at the window for a while and then turned around and walked off. Lo and behold, someone came out running after me. The financial head of Tampa Bay Brewing (sorry, forgot the name) saw me drooling and looking pathetic at the window and asked if there was anything he could do. I explained our disappointment implying how dare he not be open when I'm in town. He was super, invited us in for a couple of beers they had on tap already (for the workers? after hours?), introduced us to one of the brewers, and we were able to sit amongst all the workers acting like we owned the place. What a nice time! The new area seems to be about 3 times larger than before, very airy. He said they will have the same brews and tweak the menu just a bit, but keep all the old favorites. The colors are going to be on the dark side, very rich, with dark greens, purples, etc. They had a longer move than they thought because some serious structural work had to be completed. According to him, they will be open on October 23. Can't believe I missed it by only a week. I certainly will be back soon. Great bunch of guys, great beer, great food - and looking like it will be a great location for them. Here's to you TBB and thanks for the "soft" opening for me and my wife.

I luckily live about 20 miles from this fine establishment. The beer is fantastic, especially my favourite, The Red Eye. Their food is also very good. Nice to go to a brew pub that serves great food as well.

Patrons of Good Beer: Tampa Bay Brewing Company is scheduled to open the new Centro Ybor location early fall. Although this is great news, it also means that the old location that so many of us cherish, must close. The final day of the old location will be Wednesday August 9th and will be marked by tapping an 8 month old cask of MooseKiller Barley-Wine. Come on by and help us ring out a great era in TBBC's history. Thank you all for the memories and I look foreward to the new ones. Beer Is Your Friend
Cheers!

Stopped by on 5/26. They were serving a selection of microbrews from other brewers, due to the fact there moving down the street closer to Ybor Central. They had drained there serving tanks for the move. Hope there up and brewing on my next stop.

I've stopped here numerous times over the years. The location is good, right in the middle of historic Ybor City. The atmosphere is such that you can feel comfortable wearing a T-shirt or dress clothes or anything in between. The beer selection is fantastic. Last time I was there, a couple of months ago, I believe they had about 8 or 9 different beers to try. And of course I tried them all. The best was the stout, which I think was actually an imperial stout, extremely complex and had a licorice flavor to it. I asked if they added licorice and they said, no, it was just the dark grains. I'm sure the gravity and yeast strain had something to do with it. Anyway... excellent place. The real ales on cask are also great, though they don't always have them... once they run out, that's it for a few days. The food is also excellent. I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Visited this location on a short layover in Tampa Bay. Some distance from the airport hotels but well worth the cab ride. Tried the red ale, Iron rat Stout and Moose Killer Barley wine. All were good but the barley wine a little sweet for my taste. Had the Chicken Pesto pizza for dinner and was very pleased. I would recomend the trip into town for the beer and food.

Glad I searched PubCrawler. Com come before I went on my vacation to Florida. I had found couple places in Orlando, but when I called they were no longer brewing their own beer, or were closed. This brought me to Tampa Bay Brewing my second week.
When I walked in I was greeted by the bartender I think his name was Rob; asking me about a brewery not to far from my home. Being surprised that he would know about a place 1800 miles away caught me off guard. I answer him, and his reply was that's what that customer over in the corner wanted me ask you; being he had seen me there the week before.
This started off a great time, seeing someone from home, and going to drinking some great beer. My wife I shared a sandwich, I got the beer sampler. Rob was very helpful in explaining each beer on the tray, and about the brewery. I found all of them would have an appeal to someone who enjoyed drinking ales.
My review---> Great Beer, Great Service, Great Brewery

I met the brewer, also co-owner and David Doble. He was a wonderful host. He gladly answered all my questions. I was able to try the cask conditioned IPA. It was supberb. I could drink it every day, but it is only available on each Thursday, starting at noon and until its gone. He has a very nice barleywine, and his holiday beer this is weizenbock.

Exceptional Beer! I sampled the APA, IPA, Imperial Stout and Barleywine. All were excellent. The best was the IPA, which was also on cask during my visit. Excellent hop flavor. A must visit for the beer lover when in Tampa.

OK, it was a slow week night, they could not be less interested in serving to the balcony, the only place where you can smoke a cigar due to the rules of the Peoples Republic of Florida, but the IPA was so good I did not mind walking downstairs for another and another and another..........

While on a trip up to the Tampa Airport we decided to find our way over to YBor City Area and try this local watering hole, to say the least I was impressed with the great brews served here (it's usually pretty tough to find good micros in FL) I had a 10 beer sampler and enjoyed them all, even my wife was impressed with her choice!! The food was excellent as well!! We may make this trip more often just to eat at the brewpub. The only disappointment was they didn't have the T shirt in my size that I wanted...maybe next trip!!
