Tried it last night. Psychedelic pizza joint with a decent selection of draft and bottle. I had the Cigar City Jai Alai and a Majaraja on tap. Pizza was OK, if you like pizza in Florida. Our server didn’t know much more about beer than how to carry it to the table but, she did do a fine job doing that. Music was really good. Overall, very cool place. I will definitely go again.

Stopped by here in early April 2009. Had a wide selection of micros on tap and a solid selection of common imports from Germany, England and Belgium. Had two from Cigar City on tap which was nice. Bartender was engaging and knowledgeable of the local beer scene and the pizza as is always the case at Mellow Mushroom was top notch. Great tunes as well - been a long time since I heard Foghat’s "Slow Ride" blasting through the speakers.

Located in a new appearing shopping center, this is a large pizzaria with numerous mushroom themed objects hung everywhere. The beer selection is good. The daily happy hour ($2 off drafts) makes it even better. Nice seasonal offerings including a few things I had not seen elsewhere. The pizza is very good and comes in many creative styles. Service is great. Just off I-4 - makes nice stop.

Good pizza and decent selection of beer. Service can range from the unknowing (some of the waitresses don’t have much beer knowledge) to really good (manager Anthony - always good with striving for good draft/bottle selection). Had a keg of Weyer Simcoe Double IPA this past weekend. Always a good stop for good pizza and good beer.

Visited on 6/21/08. Generally, we have never been disappointed with a Mellow Mushroom because they have excellent food and a reasonable tap and bottle selection. We can typically find something we enjoy drinking. This restaurant in Brandon is no different. They had a reasonable draft selection (2 Rogues, 2 DFH, 2 Shipyard, 2 Lost Coast, Delirium Tremens, Stella, Guinness and a few more) and a decent bottle selection including both 50cl and 75cl bottles. Worth a stop if you are in the area. However, my only complaint was that our server (who was doubling as the bartender) served my draft Delirium in a pint glass and then charged me $8.50 for a pint of Delirium! Not a bad price for 16oz of Delirium, but what made this worse was that they had the appropriate glassware on hand and she didnt ask me if I wanted a pint of it. Overall, good place to visit. Might tell the server what type of glass to use when pouring the beer!

Definitely have to come here once in a while to check out what’s on tap. Right now they have Bells Hopslam. A few weeks ago they had the somewhat rare Rogue Hop Heaven. Plenty in bottles, but be sure to ask what they’re out of because the list is fairly out of date. Pizza is awesome of course. Definitely a place to go to for good beer.

First off this place has warmer colors and feel than the one in Tampa. The bar area seems a little smaller. But they do have a nice array of draft beer selections and some cool stuff in the bottle. I see bottles of Saint Somewhere’s two offerings, DFH 120 and DFH WWS among several others. I feel the Tampa location has a little better selection and seems to have a more knowledgeable staff. But I’ve only been to this location once. I will likely stop by again when making the long drive out to Kingdom Liquor.

Stop serving dark beers in frosted glasses. Other than that, I can’t complain. Not as good as the Tampa location, but still pretty damned good. Had a Rogue Chocolate Stout on draught there, don’t see that every day. Food is the same as the other location, in other words excellent. Friendly service, and a nice bottle selection.

Very good selection of beer, but even better pizza, really enjoyed my rogue hazelnut, but still think the pizza was better. Very nice staff and great atmosphere.

Good selection of Micro’s on draught. Bar staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Great food with a fun atmosphere.
