Showbar Ybor

Been here a couple times to see one of our friends perform. In the past, we had no problem with service when reserving a table. They typically came to us first. However, recently went and it was a whole different experience. I understand it was extremely busy, but we were left for a good chunk of the night and the people who just came in off the street were getting better service from ordering from the bar. Sucks to pay a reserved service to not even get your moneys worth. Would have stayed longer if we were served. The pianists were good per usual tho! Everything else was fun. Confetti, light up necklaces, glasses, and everything else in between.

I give it 1 stars because they actually had the audacity to tell us to leave our table for bottle service. I called and asked if they required a reservation and they stated that we did not. I ordered food and drinks at the bar and asked the young lady if we could sit at the specific table that we were sitting at and I was told we were fine. The tacos were amazing though, after I complained they involved the police and had us removed from the club then the security man started yelling insults at me: it was as terrible experience. I honestly want the money back that I spent in the establishment. We were bullied, embarrassed and plainly stated, treated very bad! I've never been treated like that and I'm not sure exactly how to proceed. Very hurtful situation. The secu

Security up front is very unwelcoming not like being rude but just almost no conversation which I'm not sure if that's part of the job but I understand they probably get some interesting people coming In. After security measures we went inside and the vibe was nice the lighting and the music was flowing. Definitely a cool vibe until you have to order drinks. It was a slow time of the night but our server was cool He held a conversation with us told us a little about showbar but everyone else was just not there to vibe just to make money and spilt. drinks were okay But after we cashed out the environment changed and we were ready to go. Idk if I'd be back and after reading some of these reviews it doesn't seem all that.

I've been here several times and it's great. I'm not an Ybor after dark person anymore so I've only been here during the day. They have a heavy pour and a literal liquor buckets. The vibe is divey Ybor. They've got an outdoor area with its own bar, bathrooms and some covered areas. The service is ok the bar was about 1/3 filled and there were 2 bartenders so they were quite busy. The beer selection was no frills cheap beer. So if you're a miller, Budweiser, or yuengling person you'll be ok. I will probably come back here if I'm doing daytime ybor because my friends love it.

This place was OK. Not great, but OK. We had two drinks, to the tune of $26.84. I only had a couple singles, so I put them with the tab and added a $3.00 tip to my credit card bill. I always keep my receipts so I can reconcile my credit card statement when it arrives. Well, when I just got my statement, I see "Roosters Show Bar" and a charge of $33.54. So in addition to the $5.00 tip I had given ($2 cash, $3 on card), the server (Sarah) added another $3.50 for herself. Not a bad gig if she can get away with doing that several times a night, assuming not many people pay attention weeks later when their statement arrives. Shame on her! Please be careful...it's not just the thugs hanging out on 7th Avenue that'll rob you.

Definitely entertaining. We had a reservation and a table right up front when they opened at 7pm, the show started a bit later. The performers were top notch and totally amazing. It was a show! The food was great- we had the table nachos which were huge and are served upside down, they pour them from a bucket in layers. We actually ran out of chips with a ton of toppings left. The fries were good and everyone at the table had items that ranged from the corn dog to the Cobb salad. All happy. Ok, so we're in a pandemic & trying to find that balance of being safe & supporting local business, right? I turned around at about 9pm and was super overwhelmed at the packed house behind me, those seated were rightfully sans masks, but everyone in this place is JUST SO CLOSE. There were a mass of guys that were congregated at the bar as well (Showtime did intervene and asked for people to find a seat at one point). Plus, i had a vent blowing on me from overhead. We elected to leave. That's the first time during this past year that I second guessed my judgement for safety.But all in all, a great time- it's a beautiful space, the entertainment is spot on.

Best straight bar I've ever been to! EVER!!! Fucking blast!! Try the bucket drink!!!!

I am officially kicking myself for how many times we've walked by this place and never went in. HOLY WOW! This was a literal show from the time we walked in until close. We're talking confetti canons, amazing talent, crowd participation FOR DAYS. We planned on popping in just for a drink while waiting for Prana to open and ended up staying until close. Three members of our group ended up going next door and paying the high cover for Prana for and ended up coming back after less then an hour. The girls working the floor are upbeat and positive and just can't take care of you enough even with only two of them being on the floor. This is officially our new favorite spot in Ybor!

Way too expensive. Cover charge, drinks-absolutely crazy for millennial music?! If they cut the prices they would def have more business.

Had a blast with Julia she is the best server. Great energy and terrible dance moves. Look forward to coming back. She made me try a blueboy it was great.
