The Retreat

Retreat is a fantastic local bar that offers everything you could want for a fun night out. The variety of games is impressive--whether you're into pool, basketball, darts, or even trying your luck with the claw machine, there's always something to keep you entertained. The drinks are not only cheap but also well-made, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. If you're looking for a place with great local vibes and plenty of activities, Retreat is the spot to be!

Atmosphere is great. Plus the taco truck is a bonus. My review needs at least 85 more characters to post

Best prices and staff around! So many studs with beards work here! And a few pretty ladies also! Check it out and try a Murphy bomb!

Easily one of my favorite bars in Tampa! A true Tampa staple! One of the oldest bars in Tampa, with lots of charm, overly adorned walls, the old school mirror behind the bar, fair priced drinks, and college students in and out. Whats not to like.

Best bar stop on way home . To the best place to live Valhalla (D.I.) great bartenders and lots of eclectic people

Went the other night, left my debit card there on accident .. picked it up in the morning.. my tab was $31. My bank statement says $55. They tipped themselves over 70%- I'm also a bartender at another nearby restaurant and we'd be fired for doing this. So if this restaurant allows this, that's INSANE. Good luck I won't be back ever to this establishment, that's complete fraud

The Retreat was the perfect ending to an amazing girls' night! The staff is amazing and the atmosphere is fun! We had a great time playing pool and dart boards with great drinks from the bar. I would highly recommend it!

Extremely poor service, bartender told us to "get the f*** out" after he denied my 30 year old friend's US issued foreign ID

If you like smoke.... It's the place for you! Great people! Dive bar..great prices. 20 and older...

This bar reminds me of the show cheers, "where everyone knows your name!" We started going into the Retreat about 2 yrs ago and everyone made myself and family feel welcome. The staff and management are great! The drinks are good and always timely. They have one side that is a full bar and allows smoking. The other side has pool tables, darts and video games. They also serve a couple of food items in house for those late night munchies or just in case you forgot breakfast lol. They also feature a food truck multiple nights a week. Izzy's Tacos.The food truck is wonderful. Honestly, one of the best tacos I have ever had. The owner Izzy is spectacular & always accommodating. He'll even make you something vegetarian if you ask! The Retreat is a fantastic bar. Like any establishment, it treats you as you treat it. If you go in positive, having fun and treating everyone with respect, I can assure you, you'll receive the same & you'll have a wonderful time.We visit other bars in the downtown area frequently, however Retreat is & will always be our favorite. It's our go to spot for a great time , funny conversations & good drinks! Thanks to all the Retreat staff for being amazing!
