I ordered the french dip. It was good I enjoyed the bread. The horseradish sauce was not as spicy as I expected it would be. The waffle fries were awesome. Angel was our server and he was very attentive. I thought it was interesting that there was a "mouthwash bar". Overall the restaurant had a nice casual vibe. read more

Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but I wish I liked the food more. We came on a Saturday morning for brunch. I was really worried about parking because I remembered what it was like with that early on, but it seems like their parking has expanded. I think it's because it's now right next to a fitness studio that together they realize they needed a lot more parking, so there is quite a bit of parking in the parking lot behind it. That being said the restaurant wasn't that crowded so I don't know what it's like when both the restaurant and the fitness studio is crowded, but for a Saturday brunch, we had no issues finding a parking spot. We primarily came because the kids wanted to try the arcade. We got super lucky that the kids went into the arcade before a birthday party started. Once the birthday party started, they put out a sign that said there was a private event so it was completely closed to the public. That would've been such a disappointment so if you are really looking forward to the arcade like my kids are, I think it's worth a call ahead of time to make sure there is no private event that has booked that space. Overall, I wish I like the food better. The pretzel board was delicious and definitely a highlight. I got a mint tea that was absolutely amazing. At first. I felt like it was a little too sweet, but I really warmed up to it. Next time I should ask though for the sweetener on the side for me to control the sweetness level. I got the steak hash, and I wasn't a big fan. The steak was slightly over salted, although it was cooked perfectly. The potato hash was huge chunks of potatoes, so I just felt like it was a major potato overload. Overall, for the price of the dish, I thought it would be much better. I think fewer potatoes would have made it better, because the meat if it wasn't over salted would have been quite good. I got my eggs sunny side up and they were cooked perfectly. I really appreciate their kids menu, it has pictures of all the food so the kids were able to look at the pictures to choose. They both wanted their own pizza, one with fries, the other with fruit. The fries were delicious my son love them, the fruit was also good. They both only ate one slice of their pizza so we definitely could've gotten them one pizza to share. I got them both gummy bear lemonade, and it was actually quite sour to my surprise. We asked to switch out one lemonade for a Coke when my older son wouldn't drink it. I was surprised that we ended up being charged for both the Coke and the gummy bear lemonade when he didn't drink it. However, overall, our service was fantastic so I'm not going to let that small thing dampen my review of the service. My husband got the Caesar wrap, he really enjoyed it. He got truffle fries, which ended up being a good call because my older son ate all the fries. My husband got a margarita and really liked it. Overall, I think they do drinks well here. We sat outside and it was gorgeous. It's fully covered. We didn't feel that hot and they do have TV so you can watch sports. I do love the decor of this place overall. This isn't a place that we are running to come back to you, but I do believe we will be back in the future. read more

We went to 1983 Friday night with a larger group. I want to be fair... I understand slower service with a big party, and that really wasn't the issue. I've actually been here before for lunch and had a much better experience. This time, though, the food quality was really disappointing for the price point. The Chicken Tender Tower honestly tasted like frozen grocery store chicken that was reheated... not crispy, not flavorful, and definitely not what you'd expect for around $40. The fries also tasted straight out of a frozen bag. The steak nachos were another letdown. The cheese tasted overly processed and cheap, almost like bagged grocery store cheese instead of fresh queso or real melted cheese. I don't mind paying premium prices if the food quality matches, but this visit felt way overpriced for what was served. Hoping this was just an off night because my previous experience here was much better. read more

Went to 1983 for the first time last night for the Love Island Casa Amor viewing event. Off rip the first thing I noticed was that they definitely need a better parking situation. There is overflow parking in the back but that still wasn't enough unfortunately. Upon entering, the restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing, beautiful really! There is a restaurant side, a semi-outdoor portion in the middle and an arcade/ bar on the other side. They really thought of everything! My friends and I ordered two martini towers, wings, truffle fries, a buffalo chicken flat bread, a spicy tuna roll, an 83 tower consisting of a kale caesar salad, spicy vodka rigatoni, truffle fries and Parmesan cheese, and the cookie skillet all off of the happy hour menu. Unfortunately, our martini towers and the 83 tower were taking a very long time to come out after everything else had already arrived at the table and we had to ask a couple of times about the status on them. However, manager Karen was so kind and offered to take them off of the bill for us. She also floated around the restaurant conversing with patrons ensuring everything was good and everyone was having a good time. I think this is a great establishment with a lot of potential I just think that when hosting such a big event with a television personality appearance they should have staffed up the kitchen/ bar and prepared staff a little better for such a large turn out. With that being said, I will definitely be back for another happy hour because although it took a while the food and drinks were great! read more

Had a fun time having a drink and playing some games at 1983. They have a big bar and lots of tables, but also a decent size gaming area!! Lots of fun games like ski ball, air hockey, shootings games etc. It's not very big but definitely enough to have some fun! I had the Key Lime Martini which was delicious and we did the $30 game card which was unlimited play for an hour. Definitely a fun stop after dinner. read more

Tried 1983 for the first time tonight for the Girls Who Sip event they will host every Thursday 5-8pm. Networking, headshots, light bites & drinks - my dream. I was impressed by the display and the food. It was hot out but the outdoor patio was completely shaded and had a good amount of fans. Our server Justin was THE BEST!!!!! He was a natural and was super accommodating to all our asks. Not to mention very quick/efficient with all of our asks. I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu.

1983 has a really cool concept and visually it makes a great first impression. The combined indoor-outdoor space gives it a fun, open energy. It's perfect for Tampa weather and the design feels trendy and thoughtfully done. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the atmosphere. The dishes sounded great on the menu, but the execution fell flat. Flavors felt underwhelming and not particularly memorable, especially for the price point. It wasn't terrible, just disappointing given how appealing everything looked. Service also left something to be desired. It felt inattentive and a bit disorganized, which added to the overall frustration. There were delays and a lack of follow-through that took away from what could have been a really enjoyable night. The space itself is definitely the highlight, it's a great setting for drinks and socializing. I'd consider coming back for cocktails and the vibe, but I hope the food and service improve to match the potential this place clearly has. read more

Nice and kinda upscale sports bar ... I like the way the outdoor area blends into the indoor area. There are a bunch of arcade type of games which provides a pleasure distraction if you're looking for a kids friendly place where the adults can let the kids loss while you enjoy an adult beverage. Bunches of TVs which I imagine makes this a great place to watch sports ... though parking seemed a bit limited. Interesting enough, though I didn't check it out, but there appears to be a separate dinner type room opposite the bar/patio area. Way the low rating? Was there for happy hour and was charged $18 for their $9 happy hour expresso martini ... they did correct it but only after I pointed it out ... was a bit unsettling. Anyway, that wasn't enough to make me not come back but I will be on guard though ... which you don't want to be when trying to relax. read more

1983 - Expresso Martini - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Tampa, Florida

1983 is such a fun, well-rounded spot in Tampa. It's relatively new, and I went twice in the same week which says a lot. The first visit was a girls' night, and the food truly impressed us. The salmon and pasta were both excellent fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Everything felt elevated but still comforting. I loved it so much that I suggested we come back that same week for Football Sunday, and it ended up being the perfect game-day spot. We sat outside, there were plenty of TVs, and the vibe was lively without feeling overwhelming great for groups. They also have an arcade, which adds a fun touch for both kids and adults. The staff was genuinely kind and welcoming during both visits, which really made the experience even better. Parking was easy during the weekday with a lot in the back. On Sunday, valet was required (likely due to the crowd) and was around $5 totally reasonable. Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and a spot I'd confidently recommend for both a night out or game day. I'll definitely be back. read more

I had been driving by this place for a while and was excited to finally give it a try. My fiancé, some friends, and I decided it would be the perfect spot to watch the Colombia vs. Portugal World Cup match last Saturday night. When we arrived, a couple of our friends were already sitting at the bar. I grabbed a seat there while my fiancé joined the rest of the group at a nearby table. The bar seats around 8-10 people, and there were only about 5-6 customers sitting there, so it wasn't particularly busy. After waiting 5-7 minutes without being acknowledged, I stood up to try to get the attention of one of the two bartenders. Another 10 minutes passed without so much as eye contact or a simple "I'll be right with you." At that point, my friends even commented that it almost felt intentional. After another 5 minutes, I gave up. Waiting over 20 minutes without any acknowledgment is simply unacceptable, especially when the bar isn't crowded. To make matters worse, my fiancé eventually managed to get me a drink after waiting herself, but by then I didn't even want to spend money at an establishment that seemed to have so little regard for customer service. There are far too many great restaurants and bars in Tampa to waste your time here. The prices certainly aren't budget-friendly, which makes the lack of service even more disappointing. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this place. Save yourself the frustration, time, and money, and choose one of the many better options Tampa has to offer. read more

I want to start by saying the service provided by Andrew was outstanding. From the moment we arrived, he offered thoughtful recommendations and remained attentive throughout our entire visit, which really elevated the experience. We ordered the French dip sandwich, the staff special featuring kabobs and pasta with the vodka sauce and wings. The French dip sandwich was excellent--perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The staff special was equally delicious, and the wings were a standout as well. The margarita bucket, however, was a bit underwhelming. The quantity didn't quite meet expectations, which was the only slight disappointment of the evening. After dinner, we spent some time in the game room, which turned out to be a fun way to unwind and burn off a few calories--definitely a nice added touch to the overall experience. All in all, it was a great visit, and we will definitely be returning. read more

This place is just okay sadly. I did enjoy the decor on the patio and the game room looked like fun. Went for brunch with some friends. I got a cappuccino and oofff it was the worst I ever had. It tasted awful and even with 3 sugars, it could not be salvaged. The food was just okay. Not awful but definitely not great. Looked better than it tasted. Hopefully it gets better. read more

Fun place for the family in South Tampa. My kids are still at that age where they love Dave N Busters. But that's in Brandon. I'm not saying that 1983 is the equivalent to DNB. It's not. Their arcade is smaller and more expensive. But it can scatch an itch when the kids want to play video games and I don't feel like driving to Brandon. I made reservations on Opentable, and the table was ready when we arrived. We had a nice seat in the main dining room. Lots of games going on in the background, but we could hold a conversation. The menu was fine for what it was. Nothing particularly innovative, but then neither is DNB. My daughter loved that she had so many options with her kids meal (she chose the mac and cheese, the french fries, the gummi bear lemonade, and the scoop of vanilla ice cream). My husband got a burger, which he described as "fine." He asked for a side salad with ranch instead of the fries, and he said that they were rather stingy with the dressing, to the point that he had to ask for more. I had the spinach and bacon salad with skirt steak. It was pretty good. The steak was cooked to medium rare, which I liked. The beverage menu was fine, more in line with a restaurant focused on brunch than dinner, but I guess that's what the beer was for! The wine list was not impressive for a restaurant that offers a $69 ribeye. My first choice of beer was out, and the second choice only had half a glass left in the tap (she brought it to me for free). I ordered a glass of the only rose on the menu, and it was fine but not worth reordering. All in all, it was a fine meal out, but it wasn't fine dining. The price was slightly higher than Dave N Buster, but I suppose it was worth the convenience fee of not having to leave South Tampa. read more

I came here with down friends for a birthday. Let me start by saying that the arcade area was not as good as I was expecting. It's more geared towards kids in my opinion than adult. The inside and outside seating area was very nice and chic. The food was also pretty good I had the wings which were delicious. One of my friends got the chicken tender tower. Chicken tenders were average. The presentation was OK. Not sure if it was worth the price. Overall, this is a cool place to watch the game grab some wings and have a drink. I wouldn't come just for the arcade.. read more

Food is for the most part decent. The eggroll cheesesteak meat was a bit chewy and not the best quality but plenty other items to make up for it. Pretzel is AMAZING.

- Parking - Not very many spots in the front of the restaurant. They do have valet for $7 but there were spots available across the street for free. - Drinks - The margarita was a favorite for our group. It was delicious and was on the stronger side which I prefer but certainly on the more expensive side at $16 each. - Food - The food was pretty good and didn't take too long to come out. Our group got a few different dishes as you can see and everyone shared that they were happy with their choices. The chicken tender tower was worth it in my opinion. Lots of fries and chicken. I would say that I would have preferred the tenders to be with fresh chicken instead but they were seasoned well. - Service - The server was really nice. She did inform us that there was a two-hour max for the table but did ensure that our drinks were always coming. All the staff were pleasant. - Atmosphere - We chose outdoor seating and were not disappointed. We were able to see the different tv screens to follow the football games and the weather wasn't bad at all so it was pretty comfortable. They have an arcade setup inside. It's not free which sucks but it cute if you want to take the fun inside. - Conclusion - Would recommend for others to check this place out. It's not a place you stay for long and is definitely on the more costly side but the service, food and drinks make it worth it. Personally, because of the parking, table limit and the games not being free, it'll most likely be a good while before returning, but that's just me. read more

Surprised 1983 got such low reviews! I know it opened around three weeks ago, so probably folks who went earlier didn't have a great experience, but I had a great one. We came on a Sunday with a reservation. Our server was super friendly, the food came out quickly, and overall it was a great experience. Afterwards, we went and played some arcade games. Everything we ordered was really good. Highly recommend getting the fried green tomatoes, wings, and the Philly cheesesteak eggroll for apps! I would get those again. I didn't try the '83 Chicken Tender Tower, and I would avoid it. It's just waffle fries and chicken tenders, and overpriced at $35. The table next to us had it, and it wasn't that appealing. What I ordered: - Chicken Wings (hot buffalo) - Philly Cheesesteak Egg Roll - Fried Green Tomatoes - Grandma - French Dip read more

Burgers were excellent, and the Chicken Tender Tower with waffle fries was a hit with the kids--$29 fed them all, which was a great value. While a few draft beers I wanted weren't available, there were still plenty of options. The ambiance and service were great, and the arcade was a lot of fun (though prices there could be a bit lower). The only drawback was the cost of bottled liquor--$300-$400 seemed steep, even considering the service and presentation. read more

I've actually visited 1983 multiple times and this was my 5th time there. I really thought it could be a go to spot for me! Not quite sure what direction they're going in as the menu has had changes EVERY time I went (food options and the cost of those options). Overall, the food is pretty good (nothing special) and it has a very nice vibe! There's traditional indoor seating that looks more formal, as well as covered indoor/outdoor style seating. I really loved the staff there when they initially opened, and that's what was bringing me back, but I've noticed alot of the staff (especially bartenders) is no longer there. I think ownership/management needs to iron down their vision if they want this place to truly be a staple, because it's been less busy each visit. read more

They did a good job remodeling the space from Datz. The inside restaurant and outside patio area are nice. The food is okay at best. No menu item here is "the best" in the area. The service is not good. The servers are not attentive. Takes forever to order and get your check. You are lucky to get a water or drink refill. Doesn't seem to matter if it is empty mid-week or crowded on the weekend. All they seem to care about is upselling. They are absolutely out of their minds with their prices here. A mediocre sandwich with no drink and the bill was $32 before tip. Would much rather go to Mad Dog or somewhere else in the area for tavern/pub food that is good, reasonably priced, and has consistent service. This place has potential but they need to be realistic about their prices and instruct their team to provide better service. read more

Oh, how I dreamed of a place like this when the kids were little - a kid friendly bar close to home with entertainment for everyone. I would have been happy to take shifts watching the kids in the game room while adults watched the game on the other side of the restaurant. The restaurant is beautifully designed, light and bright with high ceilings, a change from your typical dark sports bar. On the other side are the games, which consisted of what you'd find at a skating rink or bowling alley, not the nostalgia of the 80s, but your kids will be pleased. They will probably enjoy the menu more than we did. Lots of fried foods, nachos, flat breads, pasta, etc. The menu didn't appeal to me much, but the atmosphere was nice and the staff was great, so I would come back for sure. read more

1983 - Menu - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I have really tried to like this place, but unfortunately, I cannot recommend it based on our recent experience. While the atmosphere was okay, the prices are absolutely outrageous for what you get. Service was lacking, our server wasn't able to make any liquor recommendations for a mojito. I ordered the chicken caesar wrap specifically with no croutons due to a preference, yet it arrived loaded with them. I didn't send it back only because someone else in our party already had to send their food back because it was inedible. To make matters worse, we were charged $2.00 for side sauces (ranch) that arrived in metal ramekins and were barely touched, which felt like nickel-and-diming. For 2 people, 2 menu items, and 5 drinks, the bill totaled $165. That price is crazy for the quality of food and service we received. read more

Our family of four recently visited 1983 for lunch and to play games afterwards in the game room. Unfortunately there was a private party that Saturday afternoon so we were unable to check out the game room, but we did have lunch during our visit. My husband and I are not sport fans so we were not there for the sports playing on the flatscreens that covered every wall of the restaurant, but we did love how family friendly the restaurant was and we were never worried if our boys were talking too loud. My husband had been to 1983 for a business meeting a few days prior to our visit and knew he wanted to order the chicken tenders and waffle fries tower for the table. The tower included our choice of five sauces. The roasted garlic aioli was my favorite sauce and I regretted not ordering more aiolis and instead of the mediocre Thai chili sauce and barbecue sauce we ordered. The Vietnamese salsa was good, but the texture was more like a chunky relish and it was awkward to try to dunk the tenders and fries in it. We paid $5 more for the cheese fondue sauce and it was delicious, but the portion was incredibly tiny for $5. I would like to try some other items on the menu since I typically don't order chicken tenders and fries. The one wildly disappointing item on the menu were the martinis. I ordered the martini flight and it ranged from overly sweet to some of the worst martinis I have ever had. I selected the Espresso Martini, French Martini, Lemon Drop and Dirty Martini as my four choices. The presentation was super fun, but the taste was absolutely awful. I do prefer a top shelf vodka or gin in my martinis, but I suspect that the mixers and the bartender were at fault. The espresso martini was very odd in taste. I believe that the bartender used a coffee liqueur instead of espresso in the martini. The French Martini was overly sweet, but not nearly as offensive as the Lemon Martini that tasted like lemon household cleaning products. Please consider using fresh juices in your cocktails: it makes such a huge difference! The Dirty Martini should be banned from this restaurant because it was criminally bad. It reeked of cheap Vermouth. Personally I swirl just a few drops of Vermouth in my martini glass and then I toss out any excess in the sink. I then use a combination of 3 parts vodka/gin and one part olive juice to make the filthiest Dirty Martini. Feel free to steal my recipe. It's delicious and my friends and family agree that it's the best! We will definitely return, especially to see the game room, but I will skip the cocktail menu in the future and stick with a beer or bottled beverage. read more

Unknowingly came during the soft launch and sat at the bar. They have a beautiful 1930s restaurant on one side and a bar with an arcade on the other side.

I liked the ambiance and the option for two different vibes. There is valet parking in the front and additional self-parking by CAMP. read more

Every other Arcade bar concept I've been to has been an adult arcade vibe so I was expecting something similar when I tried '83. My friend and I went for lunch on a Saturday and sat outside. We immediately regretted the decision, as the patio is next to the arcade, which is designed for kids. The patio was chaos. The music was loud and there were kids running around everywhere. At that point we were committed so we decided to get our food and leave asap. Well, so much for that plan. Our server was nice enough, took our drink and food orders fairly promptly. However, after about 45 minutes of waiting, I was about ready to up and leave. The server had come to our table three or four times saying the food would be out any minute. Eventually the manager came over and said the kitchen was backed up, even though at that point many of the tables were either served food or done eating. Another table was sat after us, and got food before we did. He blamed the wait on the chicken breast that had to go on my friends salad, which was a weak excuse. Our food comes, I had a turkey blt with avocado and waffle fries. When I ordered it, she gave me the selection of fries and didn't bother to mention that waffle fries were an extra charge. By the time I got them, my expensive fries were. The inside of the restaurant looked nicer, I am not sure if the service is better in there. All in all, to pay $30+ for a mediocre sandwich, fries, and iced tea in a chaotic environment with slow service seems a bit steep and I can't say I'm in a hurry to come back. read more

The atmosphere at 1983 was great and our server was also wonderful--friendly, attentive, and clearly trying his best throughout the night. Unfortunately, the food experience didn't quite match the rest. I ordered the steak slider special, and the first slider I bit into was completely raw. It hadn't even been seared on one side and was cold in the middle. The other sliders were also undercooked, which made me realize no one had asked how I wanted the steak cooked. I typically order medium rare, but this was far beyond that--it was simply raw. Our waiter came over and was very polite about it. Even he looked at it and said something along the lines of, "Oh wow, you probably want that cooked a bit more," which I appreciated because he acknowledged the issue right away. They did take it back and fix it. However, when the manager brought the corrected plate out, the interaction felt a bit dismissive. The comment was something like, "Here's your up-cooked food," said in a way that felt like they were doing me a favor rather than addressing the fact that the slider had come out raw and not even seared on one side. There was also a remark along the lines of, "If anyone else needs their food up-cooked let me know," which didn't really acknowledge the actual issue with the dish. I also couldn't help but notice that our waiter was outside making drinks for a while, which made it seem like the restaurant might have been understaffed or not utilizing staff in the most efficient way. Overall, the atmosphere and service from our waiter were great, and there's definitely potential here. I'd be open to trying it again. That said, given the reputation of this hospitality group, I did expect a bit more attention to detail from the kitchen and management. read more

Great concept for this area! Of course South Tampa gets a family forward, kid friendly place after I moved to Carrollwood- go figure! This is in the old Datz and Dough location. The parking is annoying and they offer valet which I have always hated but you can park on the street which we did. This is a restaurant, bar, greenspace, and game room. It is great for families who want to have adult convos and kids who want to game. They have indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. The game room is pretty loud and the prices are pretty high. We had a tower of fries and Caesar salad which is a really odd mix but somehow satisfying. The fries were good and the salad was ok-needs a better dressing I think. I ordered via the bar which was slammed but the service was decent enough. 5 stars for idea and layout, 3 stars for food, 1 star for parking, and 2 stars for price. read more
