    511 Franklin was part of a golf cart bar crawl that we participated in. This was the first bar and really set the tone for the rest of the bar crawl. We came during happy hour where drinks were 50%. Service at the bar was pretty straight forward but lacked warmth or a feeling welcomed. The espresso martini I had was delicious and strong. Would I come back? Maybe but maybe at a table as opposed to the bar.

    We popped in before our dinner reservation across the street and it was happy hour. The happy hour deals were great because the drinks were half off. Full price cocktails are expensive, though. The drinks were good and it's really cool inside with the decor and vibe of the building.

    Well it looks like after going a second time that they don't really want to offer the food much. It's to bad because the food really is quite good. But if they aren't wanting to push it I'm kind of turned off. I really think if they offered it more and want diners they would increase the profit and client base. It still has a nice look and feel and the staff is very friendly and positive.

    I met people here after work on a weekday- it wasn't super busy which I enjoyed. I heard on the weekends it's a dance club at night, which isn't quite my vibe and I'm not reviewing that. My drink was strong and the food was tasty! The nachos were wide so toppings could get to most of the chips and the charcuterie was delish.

    Walking around to find a place to have some drinks and to dance a little, we found ourselves at '511 franklin'. The place has a good energy, great music and nice space to have fun. The service was fantastic. Though the place did get a little too overcrowded as the night progressed, we had a blast. Would like to go again.

    Came here on a bar crawl and this spot is so upscale! We sat at the bar and the bartender recommended all the best drinks! Definitely recommend the espresso martini, and we were told this place has happy hour on Sundays! We will definitely be back!

    Beautiful new bar located downtown Tampa. As of this review, it has been open for a couple of months. The decor is outstanding very classy, they have a huge bar with bottles of liquor adorning the bar. Also have several televisions as well as tables and booths. The staff are all gorgeous. Service was very good and the drinks are delicious. They advertise that it's 23 and up to avoid some of the younger college crowd. Their hours are Monday 3PM-12AM. Tuesday 3PM-12AM, Wednesday 3PM-1AM, Thursday 3PM-2AM, Friday 3PM-3AM, Saturday 12PM-3AM and Sunday 12PM-12AM. They offer snacks and handhelds as well as charcuterie board for food, but I did not eat anything at this visit. They have a great wine list and mostly Florida brewery beer selections. Their craft cocktails are fantastic with creative names like money for nothing and aspire to retire. I had a glass of red wine and my friend had the. Blind Witness: Redemption Rye Whiskey, Averna, Punt E Mes. Definitely a very nice place to go with upscale service and open late.

    This may be my new favorite Tampa bar! I went to 511 on a Wednesday night but it wasn't too busy. We sat and got the $10 espresso martinis they were apparently canned but tasty. They serve a massive espresso martini that I will be back for. Phillip is the best bartender and so nice. I got the Italian sandwich on Cuban bread and it was a nice treat! I will be coming back it's such a fun space and well run!

    Drinks are trash and overpriced. Asked for a 1942 Lemon drop, taste like watered down lemonade. Stay away from their drinks

    I finally had the opportunity no the privilege today to have lunch at Cousin Vinny's Sandwich Co…read more on Cass Street in Tampa, and let me tell you -- it was everything I hoped for and more. As a lifelong Tampa native who's eaten my weight (which is a lot) in Cuban sandwiches from La Segunda and PubSubs from Publix, I never thought I'd say this... but Cousin Vinny's just stole the crown as the best sandwich spot in the entire Tampa Bay area. (Sorry, Publix -- you've been dethroned.) What brought me in? Chef Carson, the incredible head chef who used to cook for me for years at one of my longtime favorites, Rooster & the Till. When I heard he'd joined this venture, I knew I had to stop by and see him in action. The moment I walked in, it felt like catching up with family. I told him to pick my first sandwich for me, and he delivered with the Capo Del Shmeet -- a masterpiece I will be dreaming about for weeks. Let's talk about this sandwich. It starts with bread made fresh by hand every single morning -- perfectly crusty on the outside, soft and airy inside. Then comes the star: hand-breaded chicken cutlets cooked to absolute perfection, crispy and juicy in every bite. The cherry pepper mayo brings a subtle sweet taste that plays beautifully with the bright Italian vinaigrette. Fresh arugula, provolone, onion, roasted red peppers, and capicola round it out into what is hands-down the best sandwich I have ever eaten. Every layer harmonized perfectly -- no weak spots, just pure sandwich perfection. But the generosity didn't stop there. Chef Carson treated me to his cannoli cream pudding, which is nothing short of divine. He mentioned that Guy Fieri stopped by, tried it during filming for an upcoming Food Network episode of Triple D (airing July 10, 2026), and responded by turning to Carson and giving him a big hug. I echo that sentiment 100% -- one spoonful and you'll want to hug the chef too. It's rich, creamy, nostalgic, and elevated all at once. To top it all off, I was sent home with one of their salted brown butter chocolate chip cookies. When it comes fresh out of the oven, it is topped with that perfect sprinkle of sea salt on top -- it created the most gorgeous sweet-savory balance with the melty chocolate chips and brown sugar. It's not a small cookie, but I confess: I took one bite at a red light and couldn't stop until it was gone. Cousin Vinny's isn't just another sandwich shop -- it's a love letter to Italian-American flavors done right, with heart, quality, and serious skill in the kitchen. If you're in Tampa (or willing to drive), do yourself a favor and go. Tell Chef Carson, Big Mike sent you -- and prepare to have your sandwich standards permanently raised. Go. Now. You're welcome. (And yes, I'll be back. Frequently.)

The restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. Watching the staff work together so seamlessly in a small space was impressive. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing, and the service was outstanding. To top it off, Vinny surprised us with a complimentary cannoli and a meatball sandwich that had been made by mistake. That kind of generosity says a lot about how they treat their customers. The food was phenomenal! The schiacciata bread is hands-down some of the best we've ever had, and the desserts were just as amazing. We loved it so much that we went online later and ordered the Tony Piccante for dinner--and WOW, it was just as delicious! We can't stop talking about this place. We'll definitely be back again and again. You truly have a gold mine!

    Happy Hour Monday - Friday 3pm-7pm Late Night Happy Hour…read moreSunday - Thursday 10pm-Close Taco Tuesday - 4pm-Close Wing Wednesday - 25% off wings; All draft beers $5 Wednesday's Trivia night starts at 7:30pm Ladies Night - Monday & Thursday 6pm-close Live music last Friday of the month 6pm-9pm Sundays 50% off your bill for first responders, nurses, teachers, military, & restaurant workers Ok, now I listed off most of the specials on the big sign right before walking in. However, I've been pretty underwhelmed every time I've come here. I really want to love their wings, but Hattricks is just in another stratosphere compared to everywhere else in Tampa Bay. I got 16 wings for $30 - 25% = $22.50 and I had half "soon to be famous" and half garlic parmesan. I thought both were just okay at best. I also tried at $14 dirty martini. It was pretty standard. And I tried the $15 espresso martini. I would not order an espresso martini here again. I enjoyed playing trivia and there are a bunch of TV's to watch a game. I guess I need to try something here other than wings. I don't know every time I come here I always wonder why I'm not at Hattricks instead. Automatic 20% tip added onto your bill if you forget to close out.

I think it was just refried beans though lol, not an actual hummus Wings were solid! I loved that they were grilled. The special sauce was delicioussss, the garlic parm was good. For dessert we have the funnel fries and tbh they were not worth it IMO. We sat at the bar and our service was very quick!
