The Most Scrumptious Dive Bars in Tampa

Old Man Frank's

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (106) • $$

"We've been trying to get to this hiddden gem for a couple years. It was worth the wait. Spectacular view of Lake Howard (I think). You'll find mainly seafood on the menu, as well as a full bar. We had oysters, boiled shrimp, and fish tacos. We had no issues or complaints. It was all delicious. We sat at the outside bar. The bartenders were helpful and attentive. I recommend sitting outside, weather permitting. Inside is a little dark. More suited for nighttime dining or cocktails. Old Man Frank's was a fun and tasty experience. The next time we're in the area we'll go back."

Longbar Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (67) • $

"I'm very surprised about some of the comments here. I've been to the Longbar several times and the service and the food have always been excellent."

Reservoir Bar

"What to say about Rez, it's been around Ybor for a decade a least. I can't be sure because anytime I'm in Ybor my memory is fuzzy for some reason?!? Maybe I need an MRI?Rez is my favorite Ybor dive bar, anyone is welcome: smokers, jokers, and midnight tokers.Located at what I like to call the top of Ybor(West end) Rez is a staple of what ybor is about, drinking! The bathroom has no door on it ,Ladies can meat gaze as they exit the bathroom if you stand back from the urinal. The walls are plastered with Graffiti and black, some from patrons and probably some from the staff. Which look like they would fit in a Rob zombie movie. I think there's a pool table and jukebox and their prices are low for Ybor. There was bands I think, not sure about now. I went during daylight hours which is the slow time. They have stone hands in Rez and your drink will be an over pour. They have some good booze choices and the craft beer selection is limited, but are you going to Rez for craft beer? No you go to smoke inside and scare away tourists. You can drink alone and no one will bother you."

Bauser's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (26) • $

"Great for a quick beer before a BlueJay game. Great prices. Don't judge this book by it's cover. Its a friendly place to drink. No food."

5 Star Dive Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (13) • $

"Walled in here just to grab a drink while we figured out where to have dinner but this ended up being one of he best little spots! We had 32oz margs for $6 each and a order of Brussels that were awesome. I wanted to stay and keep hanging out. This place is a great mix of dive bar, good eats, and inexpensive but delicious and big cocktails. Def stop in here this place was great and Joshua was the best!!"
