Bar AW at Armature Works

Seeing it's one of the only bars inside, I would recommend knowing what you are going to order beforehand or quoting prices on certain liquids (bourbon, tequila, etc) before you have them make your drinks or else you'll be left with an expensive bill. Other than that, this bar makes some of the BEST cocktails that are packed w lots of flavor.

Love this place! Needed to kill a little time after landing in Tampa and yelp steered me to this cute public market along the river walk. We sat at the bar in the historic old building and chatted with the knowledgeable and personable servers. Inventive cocktails and I had the messy espressy while hubs did the auto pilot, a great riff on a paper plane which is one of our faves.

These are some of the best cocktails in Tampa! It's a great spot to grab a quick drink because bar service is fast and then you can enjoy everything around Armature Works. Also a cool atmosphere at the bar if you want to stay awhile. My favorite cocktail is the Zodiac Killer and I also like Life's a Peach, but honestly they are all amazing.

This review is specifically for Bar AW I love spending-time here every weekend. The atmosphere & vibe is really chill plus my 2 favorite bartenders work here so everyone should experience them. Not to knock the bartenders, however Kyle & Josh are the BEST bartenders I have experienced in such a long-time. Everyone knows that I'm always traveling to Vegas, Miami & Philly/NYC but when I'm home here Downtown that's my spot of choice. Not sure if they even serve food, however lots of options there in the surrounding shops @Armature Works. Weekends they do sometimes have a DJ and a great sunset view.

Trendy vibes but for the prices, the espresso martini was tiny. I think the taste was good and the rock candy stick was a nice touch.

We didn't get any special cocktails so I can't really judge the drinks. But he got a beer and I got gin and tonic. Basic I know! The whole environment is so cute and we sat at the bar. The bartender was nice and introduced some beer to my husband. She also recommended us to go check out the rooftop bar.

Omg, the JuJu Juice was AMAZING. Josh was so friendly and so quick, would recommend to everyone

Josh was an amazing Bartender at AW bar. He was super attentive, fun, and his drink were bomb. Thank you Josh!!!

The cocktails here are delicious & service is awesome! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Tampa area! Right at the end of the Tampa Riverwalk which makes for a great location!

Had a lovely experience at Bar AW (the bartender was so friendly and efficient) but my card was charged an additional $25 (on top of my actual bill + tip) for no reason. Would love to get a hold of someone to sort this charge and leave with a better taste in my mouth for the company.
