    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

    The bartenders really know what they're doing at Hotel Bar! I'm not usually a dirty martini person,…read morebut one of them took the time to ease me into it with just a slightly dirty version! You can tell they're skilled and actually care about your experience, not just making drinks. Oh and they have bar snacks now! It's not included with your drinks like in Europe. You have to order separately and they come in the most adorable tray for $5! The music is always on point, which honestly makes a huge difference in the overall vibe. Also, I love their hours...it's one of those places you can count on when you're not ready for the night to end.

    From the moment I walked in, I was treated like I wasn't wanted there. No greeting, no attempt to…read moretake my order, and no basic customer service whatsoever. I tried to be polite and patient, but the staff was rude from the very beginning and made it clear they didn't want to serve me. To make it worse, I was kicked out for absolutely no reason. They claimed I "argued" with them, which is completely false. I never raised my voice or caused an issue--I was simply responding to their hostility. Instead of owning their behavior, they chose to make something up and remove me. I've never experienced such unprofessional, disrespectful treatment at a bar. If you're looking for a place where you feel welcome or even acknowledged, this is definitely not it.

    What a DOPE, PIRATE THEMED, speakeasy to go to grab some delicious drinks! Totally blown away!…read more Tucked, downtown Tampa you enter through a secret bookcase door and you enter a very low key pirate bar! Lighting is dim, which is part of the concept. (Auto flash is needed for pics) The joint, is VERY CLEAN! The staff is awesome and very attentive! They understand process. The drinks are SOOO WELL MADE! I had a Zombie as my first drink, and it is very well presented and STRONG! I prefer,my first drink at an establishment to be strong cause then I can lighten it up later. Then I had a Rum Barrel, not as strong, but well presented and delicious! Note: Prices for drinks are worth every dime! They have a small food menu, but everything on the menu looked delicious, but I did not eat there. This speakeasy is attached to a British pub which I went for food after. (Review to come) All-in-all great spot to come and have a drink you are well treated, appreciated and just a fun experience! I will DEFINITELY come back here for a delicious drink and DEFINITELY will try something off the food menu. I'll just make sure next time I won't go there after a big breakfast lol! Five stars alllllll day long!!!

    These are the coolest places in Fla. Secret cryptic entrances with a speakeasy like ambiance…read more Hidden passages and a clear throwback to the days of prohibition. With all that was going on, it's a wonder we could find the exit after all the drinks. The pirate theme was the caveat. A perfectly dimmed atmosphere and willing performers that can conjure up delicious delights. The red light and point on music only enhanced the experience. Plenty of signature drinks, a dozen different beers and even a few dishes are offered. They stir a nice whiskey sour. It's really what suits your fancy. Fear not. They have mocktails, too! 12/25
