Latest reviews from Tarpon Springs

“Whilst the appearance of the taproom/restaurant is not fancy, (more function over form) and is set back from the road in a dreary shopping precinct, this is the place to go in Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks for a craft beer. There is plenty of seating both inside and out, the staff were welcoming and friendly. They have a large selection on tap covering a wide variety of styles. (I had the ‘Peanut Butter Blonde’ by Dunedin House of Beer, Dunedin, FL). A laid back casual bar popular with locals and tourists, give it a try.“

“Tarpon Springs town center is lucky with at least half a dozen bars where great craft beer is available. Chose the Tarpon Tavern for a few reasons:- the cool old world look of the place; the outside seating on the terrace; and them having a decent car park. They have a good selection of craft beers in a wide variety of styles (I had a ‘Bell Cow Milk Chocolate Porter’ by JDubs of Sarasota). A neat place to chill for a while with a couple of good beers.“

“You can tell that the beer buyer had fun building the stores up in here. Cavernous store that does not look like much from the outside. This one has the back fourth of the store devoted to beer. There are the standard macros, but the have a section for imports, section for Belgians/ Danes/ Italians/ Mikkellers, four or more refrigerated doors for craft and a beer cave on top of it. There are aisles upon aisles of craft with meads, craft liquors, and wines as well. One of the best Liquor stores in Tampa Bay and a bit under-shopped, so if there is a popular beer that has been bought out everywhere else, this one will have it for a few hours more than other stores. Well worth the stop if you are anywhere near this place.“

“Weird building with a couple of dusty gems in the back. Not worth going out of your way for though.“

“A neat little place based on fishing, owner is very nice. Selection is small and beers are ok, nothing special. But I imagine if I lived in Tarpon id be here on a regular basis.“

“Visited on January 20, 2014.
Drove there and parked just outside. Plenty of beers to choose from on tap, both domestic craft and a selection of international. Never counted the bottles, but were a bunch available and that selection looked decent too. Did a 4 beer flight. Ate a bowl of chili that was nice, my friend had a salad with chicken that she said was very nice too. Fast, attentive, knowledgeable service. Fairly large bar with plenty of seating, patio just outside. Only downside for me was no WiFi since I’m a tourist and can’t use my phone without getting ruined. Nice place though, I’d go back if I lived around these parts.“

“This place is awesome. The new owners have brought in so many more craft beers. They have possible the larges cold craft selection in Tampa. Gourmet Jerky too. What a find.“

“They have a nice wall of larger craft bottles. They also have a few rows of beer offerings. Some decent items are found in this store. Pretty good Ommegang selection. Probably the best I have seen in this area.“

“i noticed the reviews for this place seemed to be a little old so i wanted to add my experience. I visit regularly as their selection is very decent (at least for this area). a good selection of 750ml bottles, ales, belgians, abbys, lambics, etc. Then a very decent selection of craft multi packs. including local stuff like cigar city, swamphead, florida ave, etc. there is also a good selction of germans/euro multi packs. just make sure to look around, as they like to hide stuff (growing pains i assume). the place is still big on wine & liquor, but it really seems as if they have been getting better the past few years in regards to beer as i can’t relate to any of the previous reviews i’ve read. i think it’s great for the area.“

“Nice little ‘quicky mart’ like place, much like Beer World of Largo. This place has a smaller selection but they do a great job at organizing the beer (International, Domestic and assorted singles both cold and shelved all segregated and cleanly displayed). They have all the usual suspects here including just about every readily available Belgian beer you could want (if they don’t have the Belgian beer you want you’ll need to go to Knightly for it). They didn’t have anything uber rare here but the line-up of domestic craft beer was pretty solid. Very helpful and friendly staff.“

“This place used to be a "brown bag" type liquor store. The new owners have gutted the place, remodeled and have made a point of being "the place to go" for craft beer in the area. Great selection, great staff and very inviting to shop, if you can find a parking spot!“

“a little overwarming by the size a good selection nut not as good as Lueken;s“

Mojo33543 5371 days ago

“Pretty big place that seems almost the size of Lueken’s. The beer selection is smaller but you’ll likely find something here not available elsewhere. They have a decent array of Belgian fruit lambic, Goose and the like. It seems it gets picked over regularly now. No longer are the rumors true that you’ll find a dusty old barleywine aged to perfection. I couldn’t find anything to buy. Ask at the counter for styro shippers.“

“Primarily a wine store but with extensive beer by the bottle...They deliver to the Tampa Bay / Orlando area... The place looks kind of like a dump, but then you walk inside and its an old fashioned pack house with the best selection in Tampa“

“This is just down the road from me, so i go here when i want some stuff and dont feel like driving. Decent selection, better then most liquor stores, but nothing special. They have alot of overseas stuff and some lambics. Not a great craft selection, although they always seem to have a bunch of DFH. Not bad to go pick up a bottle or two. Wouldnt drive very far to come here though.“

“One word describes the look of this place from the outside: S-K-E-T-C-H-Y. Once you get inside, it pretty much looks like any other liquor store. Tons of wines and various liquors if you are into that sort of stuff. The beer selection is good, but they are missing some things that make other places stand out, especially a lot of harder to find stuff. What they do have is very well priced. 750ml of Duvel for $7.99 cannot be beaten. Too far away for me to go often, and they don’t have anything special that no other place has, but it was worth the one trip.“

“I wanted to run out here and see if they’d had anything in the year+ since I’d been here and was shocked to see it not in the database. I assumed it was. It’s a decent sized place with a much larger than normal beer selection. Nothing uber rare, but much more than the basics. Since I was there I picked up two different bottles of Moinette, 1 Liefman’s Krike, 2 different Oud Beersel and 2 Saint Somewhere...all at very solid prices. Easily the best place in the area and it has a staggering wine selection if you are into wines.“
