I'm back and I'm getting out of my writers block slump!! This Saturday afternoon I fond myself looking for bar to enjoy a drink at and we stumble upon Blend! Nice little joint with a small bar and a few tvs for the sports fan. Well honestly speaking this little neighborhood surrounding Blend is a direct representation of this bar. Literally just for the locals drinks wasn't expensive and was just okay. Nothing here to see. read more

This bar is truly delightful, with a friendly staff including the fantastic owner. The prices for drinks are quite reasonable. My only desire is for this place to be a bit more spacious as it always attracts a large crowd. I heard that the owner is also the mind behind World of Beer, so there might be a chance for some growth in the future. read more

Meh........ for what we paid... meh. No dj on a Saturday which used to be. Not sure if ownership changed from when we used to come by but it's not the same. Quiet crowd and overpriced shots. Automatic gratuity was unnecessary for two people. read more

Blend lounge is awesome! Sometimes me and my friends go there and are greeted with the warmest welcome by Gabby And the coldest beers from Cheyanne. Can't recommend any other place like this to stop in for a casual drink before the night starts or a 12 hour bender on a football filled Saturday. Awesome bartenders cozy chairs and great music. read more

Blend Lounge - Seby after a few ice cold beers shows us how he likes to post up at the outdoor section! - Lounges Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Mediocre at best $18/Old Fashioned with a $3 tip, so have to skip for the price and an Okay one with Maker's Mark...have had a lot better.

Came here with on memorial day for happy hour and first thing is the front door is on the linebaugh side of the building, the door facing the plaza is kinda like a batwing folding type deal. It's small bar seats like 6 and tables bring the total to maybe 20 if you cram people in. There is a mini shuffleboard game which dominates the hallway leading to the outside seating. The drinks were good and prices for happy hour have to be competitive from all the drinking Establishments in the plaza. It was full so we sat outside and talked to a couple about jobs and vaping. I didn't have a bad experience here, but i probably would not come on a Friday or Saturday night as i'm sure it'll be packed like sardines. Do yourself a favor if you're claustrophobic ,hit up world of beer or Maloney's. read more

Man oh man, Rachel Geary is handsdown my favorite bartender and honestly I don't know why, is it her beauty? Maybe. Is it her skills making drinks and giving the perfect head on each beer? Could be that. Is it her jokes that leave me dying laughing? Probably not that one but either way you'll have a great time here any day of the week! read more

Blend Lounge - Thank you to the Blend staff for all your support in the community and creating a great environment for us to hang out! - Lounges Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I'm not really sure what vibe Blend Lounge is going for, but this bar is just ok. The music was ridiculously loud (and as someone with tinnitus, that's saying a lot). Inside is rather small, but we were lucky to snag an open high-top table with very comfortable booth seating and a couple of bar stools. Outside, space was tight, but the party seemed to be unhampered there as well. Service at our table was quick, friendly & attentive, and the main reason I'm giving Blend Lounge four stars. Drink prices were reasonable for the area; I think my Bud Light in a bottle was $4. However, much of the crowd seemed very drunk around 10pm on a Friday night, and I just wasn't feeling any coziness, charm or comfort. Maybe if I lived in the area, this would be a fun neighborhood bar... But its definitely too loud for Girls' Night conversation. read more

Wow i just revived the best bar service from Rachel! She is so friendly, knowledgable of all the drinks and very patient with me about my questions. Only coming back for her service. Very satisfied with my experience. Thanks Blend! read more

We always feel at home here. Gabby's service is always awesome & her great laugh will make any day better!

Awesome place to watch football! Gabby was very friendly and she always checked up on us. Definitely recommend this place to drink and watch football. read more

Great happy hour everyday of the week. Servers are working hard. Our glasses were never empty. The mixed drinks are just not good. Decent amount of alcohol, but the taste isn't exactly right. Love the table shuffleboard. Tables on patio outback is nice on a cool day, though you might have to endure people smoking. read more

Blend Lounge - Feels like a Friday. - Lounges Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Love this place! Gabby is definitely one of a kind bartender! Full of people and laughs!

What an environment completely extraordinary. I would come here every single day if I didn't already. Gabby makes a kick butt Bloody Mary that's to die for. If I could recommend a place it would be this one. My friends and I come here not to drink but to experience the exquisite service that is provided on a consistent basis.CHEERS! read more

I've been coming here for ten years.. and Gabby is by far the best Bartender Blend has. She is fun, entertaining can always hold her own behind a full bar. read more

Last night I was at blend and Rachel was amazing! Very quick and friendly service. She gave awesome advice on where to check out in Tampa. I'll definitely be back to see Rachel again! read more

Kavin and Robby were the best on Wednesday, I try to make it back every week. I really enjoy Westchase wed. They fire!!! read more

Rachel killed it. Kept the drinks pouring with a bubbly personality. Come here all the time but Rachel's hospitality was great. Switched the TVs to the mlb playoffs right when me and my partner Curt asked. Would recommend checking out Rachel at Blend! read more

Blend Lounge - Rachel, jagerbombs! - Lounges Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We just moved to Westchase from Sarasota (and couldnt be happier to be close to work and people our own age). On our first Friday we decided to stroll across the street and check out the Friday night scene. Our first drink - Blend Lounge. After checking in, I couldn't believe the 3 stars. 2 for 1 drinks till 7 - SERIOUSLY! Sam was our waitress. Nice as can be. Totally accommodating. Asked us if we'd been here before and told us about he weekly specials (crap). Needless to say, we will be back. It's open till 3AM - My hubs and I are in trouble. read more

Gabby is the life of blend and I enjoy her amazing service. Will come back and the regulars are awesome read more

Blend Lounge - Gabby being awesome - Lounges Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I love Blend family and it means so much when one person can bring us together with true intentions #supportfamily#localiscooltoo Rachel was great! read more

Ok, 3 stars because the cocktails are delicious and our cocktail waitress was so sweet and made good convo with us. But, it was loud and we were unable to hear one another talk. It wasn't due to music, just the people inside were loud and obnoxious. I think due to the narrowness of this spot the sounds just bounced back at you in full force. If I do return, I'd probably come back at an earlier time in the afternoon when it's not so rowdy. I loved the choices on their Specialty Cocktail menu and would love to try their Havana Mojito and Mandarin Mule. That evening, I enjoyed a Cucumber Basil Smash, made of course with Hendrick's Gin. Thanks to the Yelp Halloween event in fall 2015 with Hendrick's Gin, I won't go back to the previous gin's I would drink before. The cocktail was refreshing and really hit the spot. The bar is nice and I was just confused with the Legends of the Hidden Temple looking stone wall art. It was super cool though! Def will go back on an afternoon when I am able to hear conversation wth friends. read more

Short: Great for bar, small but all you need for some drinks after work. Long: My co-workers and I come here every once in a while for happy hour after work. It is a fantastic for getting in some drinks after work to relax. The bartenders are all friendly, if you don't know what you feel like, they can give you some suggestions. Maybe even try something new. They have a shuffleboard you can play, about a dollar per game. Something fun to do while you're enjoying a beverage. They don't serve food but do allow you to bring in food from another place in. We got some food from Maloney's right across from Blend. Overall, fun place just to relax, nothing too special but perfect for drinking. read more

I come in a decent bit and Rachel always takes great care of me. They have a good happy hour and fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking this place out! They also have a delicious grilled cheese and giant German pretzel! read more

Came here when I was visiting town and it was one of my favorite spots I went to the entire time I was there. Mostly due to the fact of how amazing the bartender Rachel was. So personable and made the best Moscow mule Ive ever had in my entire life. Will come again thanks to the fantastic service she provided! :) read more

I love coming here on Sunday's and watching football and This place attracts all the best characters. Because of all the constant regulars It's much like a really awesome house party especially when Gabby is hosting. I typically go there when she's working because she's very attentive and makes great drinks. Not to mention her laugh is always echoing through the building to make all the punchlines better. read more

From the owners to the bartenders to the patrons, this bar is by far the best and most welcoming in Tampa. Their motto of Don't Judge, Just Party is very real here. Everyone is super friendly and makes you feel welcome. Gabby is amazing too. If she's your bartender you're in for amazing drinks, conversation and an infectious laugh. I can't say enough great things about this place. read more

I'm a regular at blend. I work across the street and love coming over after work for happy hour. She's always full of energy and super nice and helpful. Thanks Rachel! read more

Gabi is the best in whole wide world. She is so nice. She makes great libations. So attentive! Always has a great attitude. Very prompt and consistent. Great laugh. You should come see her every time she works. read more

Been coming here for a few years, the area puts on nice events. Gabby always sets me up with whatever I like. Always good drinks and excellence service. Locals bar with a great neighborhood friendly feel. read more

I've been going to Blend for a few years and it's my favorite spot for happy hour. I frequently go just to see Gabby who is the best! She always remembers how I like my drink and is so much fun to talk to while I'm there. She makes sure everyone has a drink and there's never an unattended or unhappy customer when Gabby is working! read more

Had a great time here, very nice looking classy spot. I look forward to going back with my friends again. I like how when you walk in the back it's connected to the other bars that are on the side of it read more

Blend Lounge - Sitting on the couch with my boy in the back wasted - Lounges Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I recently relocated to the area and found Blend to be a refreshing mix of people. (Age, Nationality and Hip status included) The staff certainly takes care of their regulars but with me and the misses being new we felt very welcome and soon became regulars as well. See Sam she is absolutely an awesome person and bar tender. read more

Best Bar in Westchase :) I give it a 5 as they carry the best Liquor and great Wine selection They have a great happy hour and wine and martini specials its small Intimate dance club / Wine bar / Sexy spot . They are bringing a little more upscale drinking other than beer an the other few smoke filled bars in the area.On Thursday, Friday and Saturday they have a Great DJ and during the week have different drink specials. They have connected the patio with WOB so you can sit outside. Overall its GREAT spot Give a shot if this is your type of place. Its open late - and it can be funnnnnnnnnnnn. read more

We came in early on in the night, as to avoid the crowds. I liked the decor but the space was small. As far as service our bartender was really nice. My bestie got the $5 Stoli Special and I just sat with her (I had a terrible migraine). The music was pretty good but the volume was inconsistent. Some songs I had to yell over just to be heard, and others I could talk at normal volume. I'd definitely come back here again but it would have to be at the same time. I don't want to meet those fighting girls that Mark H. was talking about. read more

This place is fun, with a diverse crowd and scantily clad hostesses. It's indoor/outdoor with a back patio area and shuffle board too. But it's tiny, like a long and extra-wide hallway. So don't come too late if you want to make sure you have a place to sit. This place gets crowded. They play some top40 jams too, a nice change from the World of Beer next door. Stoli for $5. Well made drinks. Good mixed crowd. Yep, I like it! read more

I've been here on a few different occasions on various weekends. It's a nice alternative to world of beer next door for those who prefer liquor drinks. The place is nicely decorated and has a hip look, but its always packed since its so small. They never had any drink specials that have impressed me. There are one or two game tables in the back as the entertainment option This place is overall nice, but I don't live very close by so wouldn't really make a special trip out here very often read more

Great bar with great bartenders. What else can you ask for? Blend is a nice upscale bar with a great patio along with great drink specials and a very good crowd. Inside is a little small, but there is enough standing room when it gets to that point. The outside area is nice with more seating as well as a patio bar that is open during busy nights. They offer a great Happy Hour special Monday-Friday as well as nightly specials during the week. The shuffleboard table is always a hit. read more

Always easy and breezy. Great for a girls night out and after a few drinks I can safely walk home.
