    BBQ hoisin wings YUM
    Alicia P.

    I've been here a number of times...I generally get a pint or few... But on my most recent visit, a few weeks ago, I had the wings! I had heard the wings here are great and just wasn't eating but this time - I got 'em - BBQ Hoison flavor - and they were delish! My picture does NOT do them justice! I met up with a few folks I had met that day - regulars here...I also knew a couple previously so it made for an easy "know your name" kind of place... It's a very lively spot for watching games inside or even at the little outdoor area sectioned off at the entrance. Local island folks generally here. It gets a little nutty at times, but it's fun. And now I know it's got also great food! I'll continue to make my way to the Anchor from time to time...

    Hangover burger
    Sergio F.

    There's something about a huge messy bacon cheeseburger with crispy bacon that makes everything OK, all the way from being up late working the night before, catching a flight on a little over 3 hours of sleep and a jobsite meeting. At my urging, I ended up here with two coworkers, since besides having burgers Anchor Bar is close to our project site. Located on Davis Island's restaurant row on Davis Boulevard, The Anchor Bar is perfectly divey, with a smattering of bar neon, TV's showing sports and a mixed crowd of people living the good life and those of sneaking a taste on our lunch hour. Background 90s alt rock rounded up the scene. Full Disclosure: our crowd skipped on the alcohol since there were reports to write and continuing education seminars to attend. But the food and service was top notch! Although I went for "Medium Well", my burger patty was perfectly juicy, the greens tasted pretty fresh and the melted American cheese just enough. I also loved their sweet BBQ sauce. Perfectly crispy bacon and a sunny side up fried egg rounded my burger, and sweet potato fries made my side dish fancy.

    a burrito and tater tots
    Cory P.

    Food is about $16 a person Burgers are excellent. Nacho burger, mushroom Swiss, hangover are my favs. Flat bread pizza is very good. BLT has a lot of bacon. It's good. Tater tots with chili and cheese is a great choice. Drink prices are average outside of happy hour. Happy hour choices are good. 11-7 I believe. Bar gets busy and crowded weekends and some weeknights. Staff is very cordial. Which is most important besides good food. Minus one star because the bathroom situation is a nuisance. One bathroom and it got dirty pretty quick.

    Solid Locals bar. Beer is cold, fish tacos are fire, and they have the best wings in town.

    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
