Tampa Bay Brewing Company

I'm giving TBBC a 5 star review. This was my second time in Ybor city. The last time I didn't get a chance to stop here. The location is really nice. There is an inside and an outside area with an outside bar. The beer list is pretty long. I had the blonde ale which was great. One thing that could have been better would be more lighter draft options on tap. The options were IPA and up. The food was good. Highly recommend the Smokehouse Chicken sandwich. The bartenders were really cool as well giving us other options and spots in the area.

Brewery Review - Name: Tampa Bay Brewing Company - Beer: Cloudy Donkey, hazy ipa, 5.5% ABV- Aesthetics- TGI Fridays meets Applebee's - Service: sat at bar and had great service from our bar(beer?)tender- Chairs: Wooden stools- Bathroom: Service for 4, nothing fancy*bonus points- they were featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, the meatloaf will bring you back to life if you've been out drinking too long

I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time! The kids and I stopped by during our trolley ride adventure and have to say we were pretty disappointed. Service was friendly but crappy. We didn't receive refills. The food runner dropped literally half our fries on the tray when bringing our food and didn't replace them. We sat for at least 10 minutes before anyone greeted us. The bare minimum was done with regard to service.Food was okay. But expensive for what you get. I got 2 shrimps on each of my tacos. The rest was a bunch of cabbage. The pizza was fine. It was pizza. The ambiance was great! As is the beer. We may go back who knows. Everyone deserves a second chance.

I love how relaxed the restaurant is, it gives a very comfortable vibe. Our waitress was wonderful, I felt bad that it took some time to make a decision on our food so she had to keep coming back. There was so many dishes I wanted to try but do not have the stomach for and I don't live in this area, but will definitely return the next time I am. I got a pizza and added chicken and sausage to the pizza. It was pretty good. There's more crust than the rest of the pizza, which was interesting. I'm not sure if that's the style? My boyfriend enjoyed the calzone but the pepperoni could be better spread out. In one bite, he had a whole stack but the next, he had one singular slice.

Came here for Sunday brunch. Was a pretty good place. We had tuna tartar, salad, and fish sandwich. We shared everything between the two of us. Food was pretty tasty. We also had non alcoholic cocktail that was pretty good as well, but very sweet.The ambiance is more or less like a sports bar. They also have outdoor dining. Service was pretty friendly and attentive as well, overall a pretty good place. It is a little pricey for what they offer though.

In town for a concert and had time to kill so decided to check out TBBC. This location is located in the heart of Ybor city. Parking is a challenge as there is very little street parking. My husband got the "So long portsmouth" which is the English porter. He enjoyed it. I got the "Lord of Penny Cups" which is the Imperial stout. It's brewed with peanut butter cup and is a super easy drinker. Our bartender was fantastic and super attentive. We had dinner plans, otherwise we would have hung out a bit more.

We stop in here every time we make a trip to IKEA, which is just a few minutes away from TBBC's Ybor City brewpub. You can never, ever go wrong with the Beer Cheese Soup -- it's even good on a hot day as long as the A/C is working in the restaurant, and we've never been there when it's been down.Now, for a summer 2024 combo suggestion, try "The Bomb" burger, which is the standout item from the handhelds menu for its uniqueness (burger, bacon, cheddar, onion strings WRAPPED in pizza dough instead of served on a bun) along with a "Whimsical Beach" wheat beer, which is light, refreshing, fruity, and perfect for cooling off on hot days. As for service and ambiance, we came in on a HOT Sunday afternoon and it was exactly what we needed: chilly and chill. We even took home a tin tacker sign so we could represent TBBC in our home bar.

We came for lunch and I'm glad we did. They have a wide variety of beers, from IPAs to Pilsners, and even cocktails for people who don't like beer.I ordered the Smokehouse Chicken Sandwich, and it was delicious. There were so many toppings that it was a bit hard to find the chicken, but it was still tasty.The service was friendly and attentive. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and gave us some great beer recommendations.Overall, it was a great experience. The only thing missing is a solid happy hour.

First time customer after walking by numerous times. The restaurant is warehouse like, with some huge booths and lots of tables and a nice size bar. Our server was quick to take our drink order while we looked at the menu.The menu has a nice variety of appetizers, sandwiches salads and entrees. I settled on the brisket Mac and cheese as they are two of my favorite things. Food arrived timely and was nice and hot. I ordered the wrong thing as the brisket was super chewy and smoked way more than I like. The Mac and cheese was really pasta with a thin cheese sauce. It wasn't at all as I expected and I really didn't enjoy it. Now I know for next time to order something different. Our server was great the entire time.

This place had good reviews on Yelp so my team and I HAD to check it out. We ordered beer flights and I got the Bomb Burger. Oh man was that thing huge. It was baked in pizza dough as the bun and I've never had anything like it before. The burger was juicy and the dough wasn't too dough-y. It was honestly an experience and I definitely recommend it. The wait staff were super friendly and joked along with us. It wasn't too busy since it was Tuesday lunch time, so it was fairly quiet and nice inside.
