Koozie's Sports Pub

Rode by here recently & after reading the reviews was looking forward to trying out a new neighborhood place for food and a drink. Walked in this afternoon and I had to use restroom before having a beverage...I just got off work & had a 40 min drive here! There were a few regulars at the bar & were all engaged in convo w/ the bartender. She literally stopped me as I was walking thru to use restroom and asked what can she get me. I replied had to use bathroom first. No hello or welcome or anything! She said no, bathroom is for paying customers only! I said I am a customer if you will allow me to relieve myself first!! She said ppl come in off the street trying to use restroom, I said well I'm not everybody. It's wrong & rude to stereotype me! I'm an African American business owner & a Realtor, just got done showing a property. This was very humiliating because everyone at the bar was all silent & staring at me while she rudely & loudly tried to call me out. I will drink this beer & not return. I am professionally dressed not a bum on the street and did not appreciate the rudeness with not even a hello or welcome!

Crystal T was the bartender and she was very welcoming and down to earth, very nice to talk to. We got two appetizers that were a great size and great for the prize! This is a great dive bar with good music and pool tables!! If you're looking for late night beers and food with nice company this is the place for you

Don't let this no-frills, smoky little dive bar scare you away. La Chica and I made the trek out here this past Thursday to fill in some empty spots on a billiards league team, and we had a blast. To me, it was like a miniature version of Dagwood's in Tampa, but without the full liquor bar. Two 7' pool tables, food and beer only. I think I saw 8 taps, and the rest was in bottles. Felt kinda old school up in there, but that's not a bad thing. La Chica ordered some wangs, but I went for the Cuban. Why would I do that? Because the bartender said the owner's wife is Cuban and makes the pork for them, and they get their bread fresh daily from Casino Bakery. What I found what this this was a surprisingly good Cuban! Granted, the pork looked to be from a loin and it was sliced on a deli slicer, as opposed to be shredded from a pernil, but the seasoning was spot on. I don't get out to Thonotosassa very often, but I don't imagine many places out there can whip up a better Cuban sammich, so hats off to Koozie's.Would I return? Friendly service, air thick with smoke, tables and good food all point to yes.

Great little dive (pretty much the only one in the area). Good selection of beers on tap, friendly staff, great wings, pretty much everything you look for in a neighborhood dive. Kind of a small space, but they have plenty of TVs and a couple pool tables and dart boards that are kept in good condition.

Nice local feeling; friendly good food events on the weekend; great Pool tournaments very good customer service makes everyone feel like home.....All sports NFL Ticket on all Televisions on Sundays!!!! Even Nascar

I'm so glad this bar is still able to operate during Covid. Friendly service and a great atmosphere. My favorite wings in town !

Good people. I love my girls here. This is a pub but I get upscale service. E V E R Y T I M E! Food is always good. My husband and I have been going for years (him longer) and just love it. Always my first choice. Sometimes we end up there from a night out. Sometimes it is our night out.

Walked in here looking for a fun night out. We were greeted by a rude bartender informing us they only served beer. This was news to me. Beer is not my first choice in beverage. In order to find something to order I asked for a menu. No menu was available and I was rudely served a food menu. Bartender is too concerned with chatting with the townies than providing customer service. 10/10 would not recommend.

Only thing husky blonde girl clugged up toilet... Had to evacuate immediately. Food was delicious prior to that!!

Nice relaxed atmosphere. Food was good. The bartender was really sweet definitely plan on going again.
