2/4/25 birthday night
Emily A.

My best friend and I were in Tampa for my birthday trip and we originally wanted to go to the Beacon rooftop however they're extorting you at the JW valet parking 50$ I'm like uhm to go up and spend more on overpriced drinks no. They said they would validate parking for half off ... still a no for me, so we ended up at the Epicurean hotel which was also valet parking but was only 10$ edge was understated cool for me. I liked the vibes but it wasn't too busy (it was only a Tuesday night around 6 pm) I liked it because it was a pretty atmosphere not super great views but still nice and I absolutely loved my drink it was under the zero proof cocktails passion fruit deliciousness. I would return.

Stopped by for a drink at this rooftop before a nearby dinner reservation! The valet is complimentary before 7pm which was perfect! The valets were very kind and even kept my car at the front since I was only going to be an hour or so (make sure to tip them! :) ) The manager pointed me to the elevator towards the back which goes directly to the roof! It was great and beautiful views! They have a covered and uncovered portion, which makes it great in the event of rain. They also have a nice happy hour which I wasn't expecting! The bartenders were very nice and it was open seating. You ordered at the bar and could sit where you like! Great spot for a stop on a date night or catching up with friends!

Beautiful bar/hotel in Tampa however very dead and not that many people visiting. The food is pricy on the bar menu but tasted very salty. They can definitely improve their food. Vibes are excellent though and the location is close to a very nice steakhouse across the street. Worth a visit!

This rooftop bar was a pleasant surprise after visiting the Elevage restaurant downstairs! It wasn't crowded, so a nice location to grab a drink and enjoy the outdoors. We just ordered champagne and relaxed. They may have similar happy hour options as downstairs, but I didn't receive a menu at the bar. You can't see much of the sky view, due to the brick wall surrounds, unless you stand up; so don't expect panoramic views. But a nice combo with the two restaurants in the same building.

Too hot and I hate to be severed in plastics cups when going to a rooftop and to add to insult to pay $17 For plastic I could just stay home !

Came up for a drink after dinner elsewhere on a Tuesday night. Place had a few people but quickly filled up. Very casual place. Most people in groups. Loved the rooftop view. Great place.

I really enjoyed EDGE. Another rooftop bar in Tampa with a great view! They have plenty of seating and they don't have any reserved tables so it's first come first serve. We got there around 7:50pm and it wasn't that busy yet so we got seats and drinks were make rather quickly. I had a passion margarita and it had a little kick to it but refreshing at the same time with the mixer they use. It was a very good margarita and went down very nicely. I would absolutely recommend the EDGE for a night out!

Cool vibe, nice bartenders, okay view. Giving it a 5 starts because the spicy Margarita was probably one of the best I've ever had. Would definitely go back just for the drink. Went on a Saturday night during a holiday weekend and it wasn't packed, but there were barely any seats. 2 here and there. Regardless, the bar was not extremely busy so it was a great night. We parked down the street and walked.

Sooo the EDGE Rooftop Cocktail Lounge was relaxing with a chill vibe to have a drink. I was searching for a rooftop bar given the COVID situation. I was able to grab my own table next to the pretty views. The drink selection was good but pricy. I was okay with paying for the ambience and the drinks were tasty. They have a few finger food items but I ended up eating at the restaurant downstairs after. The waitresses were very attentive and checked on me often. The staff all had their mask on and I felt comfortable. Overall I will be back. What was ordered: Senorita & Bayshore Gimlet Cocktails, and Shrimp Cocktail Senorita = Hint of Yummy spice Bayshore Gimlet = Refreshing end Shrimp Cocktail = Can't go wrong

I went to this rooftop bar with some friends after a dinner with friends. I had never been and it's conveniently located off Howard Ave. I ordered a beer and it wasn't too expensive. The staff was friendly and it wasn't too busy for a week night.

E75
Karaline M.

This is such a cute spot with great drink options. I enjoyed the E75 which was so good! The bar itself is a bit small but they have a lot of cozy seating spots. This isn't my go to rooftop bar in Tampa but it's definitely worth checking out! They normally open at 5 but the day I went there happened to be rain at around 4 this caused them to push opening back until 6:30. When we arrived at 6 the front desk staff told us it would open at 6 so head right back up. However it did not open for 30 more minutes so we had to wait in the hallway with no seating area for quite a while. Keep in mind if you go: if there is lightning in the area they will close the bar and kick you out. The only parking option is valet and if you leave after 7 it costs $5.

They closed much earlier than the hours listed and we're really trying to hurry us out. My mojito tasted pretty weak and honestly not like much of anything. The ambience was nice but the views weren't much to look at, especially when comparing it to other rooftops I've been to.

Bayshore Gimlet mmmmmmm!
Alexis H.

The Edge is a great place to go before you "treat-yo-self" at Bern's! We loveeeee a good rooftop and they can be hard to find in Tampa. This one has a great vibe, with mediocre views. We both had the Bayshore Gimlet (or two...) & it was DELISH! Mark the prices down a notch and I'm sold.

Where should I park?

Hi, Linda. Valet parking is complimentary for patrons of the hotel outlets (including EDGE) prior to 7pm and $5 following. We hope to see you soon!

Is there someone checking IDs at entrance?

When I went, no, but if you look underage and you try to purchase alcohol you will be asked at the bar.

Is this an only 21+ lounge?

Hi, Taylor. Yes; EDGE is 21+. Thank you!

We snagged a reservation before we our dinner plans to check out this spot - I've heard a lot about…read moreit. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM and we had 90 minutes max for the table. It definitely started to fill in more by the time we left at 7:15 and there was barely any standing room, so definitely recommend a reservation! We really loved the overall vibe. Great DJ playing, cocktails were good and they had a decent happy hour. The music did continue to get louder as more people filled it, so it was difficult to have a conversation without sitting next to each other. Definitely wasn't what we were expecting considering it feels more like a vibey lounge. We didn't mind it, just were surprised. One thing that was upsetting was when we received our check. We saw on the menu when we first ordered that an automatic 20% gratuity is added to all checks - totally fine by us and we were okay with this. However, when we received our check, the gratuity line was clearly marked through as if it wasn't a part of the total bill and this felt sleezy to us. It already was added and included in the total, so it felt like an intentional way to get people to over tip. We really didn't appreciate that and it left a bad impression on us.

Went to this spot to hang out with some friends I know that are djs. It was a pretty dope location,…read morewith great music, a lively crowd, and immaculate vibes. The atmosphere was very chill, but not like it was trying too hard, which made me comfortable enough to truly enjoy the music. My server was phenomenal. Giving me drink recommendations, and curating the best items to try. I'll definitely return for that alone (and the drinks are STRONG) lol

Talk about a hidden gem! This speakeasy is SO cool!…read more The drinks were delicious, and the presentation was a solid 10/10. Every drink felt like an experience, and the atmosphere was such a vibe. But what really blew me away, and what I absolutely was NOT expecting, were the chicken wings! They were seriously so good. I came for the drinks and left thinking about the wings! Such a fun spot to hang out, enjoy creative cocktails, and meet some awesome tiki people. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to!

Hands down THE MOST IMPRESSIVE TIKI BAR IVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!…read more Ive been a lot of places and been to a lot of bars. I find tiki bars to be the funnest theme of bars. Morgan's Cove is the king of all tiki bars. Its so cool, the entrance to the bar is speakeasy style hidden door. Once you walk in its mind blowing how much detail is put into this place. The theme is sea monsters. The walls have carvings of sea monsters. Theres a leviathan hanging above the bar. Theres a really cool handmade pirate ship in a glass case by the bar. Its all so badass and so well done...just a beautiful bar. Chefs kiss. The drinks are amazing too. I went for a rum event. I had 2 different drinks and tasted all of my friend's drinks. All very delicious and hard hitting. Everyone there was super nice. The crowd the staff, theyre all so nice. I would fly out here just to visit this bar again. I highly highly recommend Morgan's Cove!!!

Love this place! I've been here a few times, but this time I came for a happy hour. There was…read moreplenty of space it wasn't overpacked and it was a very relaxing ambience. It very much has a speakeasy vibe. I got an espresso martini that's only $10 during happy hour. I believe happy hours from 5 PM to 7 PM. In addition to that they have food on happy hour. I opt it for one of the full priced menu items which was the shrimp hummus, and it was very light, flavorful, and the perfect bite. We also had some of the meatballs which were also delicious and served with perfectly toasted bread. I do like coming later in the evening when it's a little busier with more going on. Highly recommend this place for a date night or girls night out or any of the above.

Took my wife here for her birthday and overall we had a great experience. The food was amazing, and…read morethe drinks were really good too. The only disappointment was the seating. We had reservations early in the evening and were seated at a high-top table with stools, even though the restaurant was basically empty. From what I understand, reservations made through Yelp are automatically assigned to that table regardless of how much other seating is available. It was definitely a bummer, especially for a birthday dinner, and the stools became pretty uncomfortable as the evening went on. That said, the food and drinks were good enough that we'd absolutely give this place another try. Hopefully next time we can get a more comfortable table and leave talking about the food instead of our back pain
