Sometimes when you walk into a place you go "YES, this just has IT". IT being all the feels and vibes Danielle Vergnaud-McKinnon and Matthew McKinnon opened Sky Puppy in September of 2024 in the Historic 1888 Casa Bomberos firehouse, which was Tampa's original firehouse. Matthew brews their fantastic beers and Danielle designed Sky Puppy and runs operations. It's absolutely stunning. Historically, Ybor City is known as the Cigar Capital of the world. When the Sanchez y Haya Building in Ybor City was abandoned, thousands of bats took over! So it's known for Cigars and Bats... or.. Sky Puppies The taproom is stunning. Beautiful backsplash in the tap/bar area, sleek designs and tables but keeping the classic original brick of the fire station. Beautifully done sculptures of bats are from @coppertritscheller can be found all over. @pedals.and.pintglasses got to hang out and enjoy the aura and beers!

Angry Chair was hosting a brunch to close out Tampa Bay Beer Week, and it was the perfect way to kick off the last day. I had a couple stouts and we shared a few of the brunch dishes. First up was the Chicken Biscuit with juicy fresh chicken tenders drizzled in hot honey and creamy goat cheese on a fluffy house made biscuit. It was so good we had to order the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit too, loaded with two over hard fried eggs, crispy bacon, and American cheese. We finished with the Breakfast Tacos packed with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar jack, caramelized onion, hatch chile, and sriracha mayo on corn tortillas. I washed it all down with a Barrel Aged Irish Cream Fionn Imperial Porter and Caviar Cowboy Imperial Pastry Stout. Both were a great kick start to the last day of Beer Week and paired really well with the food.

The foods quality has gone way down. when you go to a "large" brewery, you'd expect more than 2 stouts, 1 IPA and a bunch of who cares sours on tap. And it was Tampa Bay Beer week. They had zero stouts bottled to go, and only their 8 year old average IPA in cans. It had nothing to do with the beer, but an order of chicken tenders were completely raw as well. they didnt charge us for the even worse replacements, but i wouldnt have paid anyway. I would suspect they ate running down the business and it will be gone within a year

You place your drink and food order at the bar. They give you your drink and then deliver the food to your table. I settled on the German beer, whose name I can't remember, but I wasn't thrilled with it. For food, I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with a side of the beer cheese Mac and cheese. Food arrived and it looked great. The sandwich was freshly made and it was good. The Mac and cheese was amazingly good.

It's twice a week so I asked, looked pretty fun as people danced, ate, drank, and played same time. It's got both indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of TV screens, a pup cup on the menu. A song box to pay and play your choice of music. What else, their food is AMAZING! Their service was spot on, friendly, quick and great hospitality. Such gooood smash burger! Yummy, it's a double and tasted juicy. I'm going back for seconds. If you are Deaf or use sign language, their cook, Carlos knows fluent sign language to communicate and take your order.

We've enjoyed their beers many times back home in New Jersey, so it was great to finally stop in. We only had the beer, so I can't comment on the food, but the beers themselves were excellent. The standouts for us were the Maduro Brown Ale , along with a really refreshing watermelon rice beer. The only reason I'd knock off a star was the service. Three different bartenders checked in with us during our visit, but only one seemed interested in any kind of conversation. The other two barely said a word, which made the experience feel a bit less welcoming than we expected. Overall though, the beer was fantastic and definitely worth the stop if you're in the area.

Honestly, we wished we had something like this closer to home. The space is big, bright, and welcoming. The brewery floor is the first you notice when you walk in, and the large communal tables, (complete with games), make it easy to settle in. TVs are everywhere, including a massive screen on the left wall, so it's perfect whether you're hanging out with friends or just relaxing. We stopped in early evening before Halloween, right after a management change, and they already seem to be on the right track- great vibe, solid beer selection, and friendly service. We didn't try their food, but the menu had the usual American favorites plus vegan options, which was a nice surprise. They also allow outside food, which is a huge bonus with so many choices nearby. It was hot and humid that day, so a cold beer was exactly what we needed. My husband went for the Double IPA, and I had the Tangy Mango Sour, both true to name and super refreshing!
