The Hole In The Wall Bar-Tampa

As far as a dive bar goes, this place is awesome! It's small, it has a pool table, darts, touch tunes music control, and best of all- there is NO SMOKING inside. That's always my one complaint about dive bars- is that I leave smelling like an ash tray. But not at Hole in the Wall! Smoking only allowed outside.I would have given this place 5 stars if they also had liquor- but alas, due to zoning laws of the church nearby, they are not allowed to serve liquor. However, bonus points for the fact that have "wine based liquor flavored alcohol"- so it's like imitation vodka, tequila, etc. Since it's a lower alcohol content, every drink is automatically made a double.Friendly bar servers round this place out. They also mentioned they'll be doing viewing parties for football and will have wings and pizza available for free (they don't have a kitchen) I look forward to coming back here often! Welcome to the neighborhood!

We stop by to have a drink before dinner reservations. There was only one bartender and she had a long line out pass the fence. Super slow just to order one beer. It was like 40 mins. I believe they need at least two bartenders . They was also out of a few beers. So the experience was not great at all from start to finish. We did order a dry dark beer. It was tasty and different from your average Corona or Bud Beer. They do have a small outside seating and they are right next to the fish and chips. So the smell just makes you wanna eat and lures you in. Corvid guidelines are in effect and she had her mask on as well. Place was clean and Disney Springs as usual packed.

I love dive bars but this one is rough. Stayed for 20 min then had to leave when one of the patrons came up to us, hinted at stealing my boyfriends shoes, and flashed his gun at him in the middle of the bar. Bartender doing lines of coke off the bar in plain view. Trump flags everywhere. Clearly everyone knows each other so this place works for them but if you're not a regular here I would suggest staying far away.

This is a true establishment. Do not expect anything fancy, not your average dive bar. This is more of a family, where you can be yourself and have a good time with friends. Best dive bar in Tampa! Hey

Don't miss the $3 margaritas. If you want to hang with locals, play some pool and play for favorite songs this is the spot.

Decided to take a chance on a random place with some friends after the Bucs/Chiefs game. This place was it. Travis was behind the counter and made the experience one of a kind. Drinks, food, he made us feel more than welcomed. Well worth it after the game. Oh and if you happen to see a large dog named Bella, she's the sweetest, and won't harm.

Great bar and bartender! Rachel was the best. Super attentive and welcoming. Recommend this bar for those who are looking to enjoy themselves

Awesome, friendly dive bar. Rachel and John welcomed us like old friends. Will be back!

My friends and I (all in our early 20's) went after dinner. Bartender was rude and mocked me for the drink I ordered. Place had standing water by the pool tables, bugs on the pool table, Trump flags everywhere, and rude staff. We tried to make the best of it and play pool then the owner asked to "show (him) some tits" we promptly closed our tabs and left. Also the parking situation is a hot mess. Don't recommend to anyone if you're not a regular or an ignorant racist.

Two visits. First one, bartender was funny...was dishing out insults in an amusing way. Calling me the b-word, hag, etc... I laughed and said to her, yep, it's a dive bar! They have a wheel you can spin with things like a free bag of chips...which is what I won, but I thought she was so funny I moved the wheel to "tip your bartender $10" and I did just that. Went back yesterday and was prepared for the same entertainment. She got really offended ... What? You literally called me names and made jokes about my age, and you're now offended that I'm riffing on that when I come back in? She said "I serve a lot of customers, I don't remember you." Was super rude and even, when I tried to refresh her memory, said "I was probably drunk." Mkay. Huge personality change from visit 1 to visit 2. Like truly bizarre. I took an Uber there bc of parking...it is the WORST. So, I wasted money on an Uber bc I just left at that point.
