This is kind of a hip place and the only place for miles around where you can consistently get some of the best beers in the FL market on tap. The loud music and approachable fruit beers really bring the people in and pay the bills. This place is crazy rammed Friday and Saturday nights. In doing this it appears they have a solid sustainable business model even if it isn’t perfectly aligned with what the visiting beer geek is looking for. So you won’t be able to have typical casual conversation easily but you will nevertheless enjoy yourself. Each time I’ve been there I’ve marveled at the extensive tap and bottle list and have always found something tasty to try.

This place is great!!! I didn’t count the taps or bottles but the beer menu was HUGE! I stopped for the Cigar City Beer and stayed for the kareoke and selection of cigars (this is not a kareoke joint, it was the tuesday night thing). The wait staff was phenominal, I went to sing and my 1/2 smoked cigar was gone when I got back...The waitress gave me a new one without question. Also, they do not have food but a waiter from the place next door comes around every 10 minutes or so to take orders (that food was really good but a bit pricy).

Located in The Shops of Wiregrass. Nice clean, new place. Beer selection is pretty good for the area, defenitely geared more to the average beer drinker and less to the beer geek. No food but you can order from next door. I was there for a special event and it was packed and it’s a pretty small place. Prices were pretty high.

Nice location in the trendy New Tampa area. Selection had pretty much same beers available across Tampa or at beer stores, many craft beers. Had great service, and even some free food to go along with the event that was going on. Place was just too crowded for my taste, craft crowd mixes with the corona beer pounders. I’ll settle for a quieter environment. It’s a good drive up there for anyone living in south Tampa and Oldsmar area.

Smart location. I’ve been here on a few occasions, most recently for a Cigar City event. Bar is clean and new. Big enough to move around in and relax even on a crowded night. The patio is a great addition. They have a great tap list always and tons of bottles. I think they sell to-go’s as well. Knowledgeable staff who know a thing or two about beer and their drafts show it. No food, but Grillsmith next door will take orders and deliver to the bar. Definitely a place to check out in north Tampa-ish area.

Good selection, knowledgeable staff, gets better as the place matures into its own. Slowly becoming my favorite place to watch sports.

An excellent beer and wine bar that has grown extremely fast in an area with nothing else to choose from. That being said, the selection is top notch with roughly 30 taps and pushing 350 bottles. Great selection of microbrews, Belgians, American craft beers, Germans, and the UK. Certainly some hard to find beers and reasonable prices. Bartenders are far more knowledgeable than the servers and the ambiance is a bit upscale. Certainly not a pub atmosphere.

The owners did a great job constructing a bar that is assuredly going to be a popular location for many years to come. An attractive ambiance, with several TV’s if you are looking for a place to go watch sports and sample great beers. No food. A large bottle and 40-tap selection, nothing super out of the ordinary for a “Mega Beer-Geek” but really nice and well rounded. However, for the average beer drinker, this is almost another planet, but if you are reading this, you’re not the average beer drinker. Of course staff education is paramount, especially in a setting where the retailer is serving a gourmet product that need be accompanied with familiarity; but I imagine that product knowledge will come in time. Overall, this is a wonderful addition to the Wesley Chapel area, and I know it will help broaden the minds and palates of countless people. – A wonderful thing indeed!

The ambiance is very good. The service was an issue for me. I decided to return to this establishment for a third try thinking three strikes and your out of my book since the first two stops resulted in poor service. I will say that things have improved but I will not rave about it. The selection is worth raving about however. They have plenty to keep any beer geek happy although they never seem to have all the items on their beer menu. If you want food you will have to order out but that is easy to do. The prices are high. Overall a nice beer bar that I enjoy but the prices and service are the not best.

I have been visiting this beer bar off and on since opening night. Things have really improved over the past 6 months. Ryan is bringing in some of the best beer in the Tampa area, some just as rare as those that Tony at OTH is able to secure. Nice location near the main entrance, food available from a few local restaurants (servers roam the tables asking if patrons want to order from their restaurant), and a great rotating list of beers to choose from--not to mention an impressive bottle selection as well. Looks like this beer bar is becoming the Oldsmar Tap House East for those of us living miles and miles from OTH.
