Cool outdoor area
Buzz G.

Second time visiting this cool brewery which has a couple locations in the area. This was in Wesley Chapel and went with my in-laws who live in the area and family. This would totally be my hang out if I lived nearby. There is a large bar and also dining area inside and huge outdoor area and even private party area. While this is a brewery, there are plenty of drink options for anyone (full bar and soft drinks). Our server spent plenty of time with us helping decide on drink and food choices. Happy to do Beer Flights and include label so you can remember what you are drinking and pick your favorites! Food menu also has something for all and we did take leftovers! They have a schedule of events like trivia and comedy on various nights. There is merch available and even canned beer to go! Definitely plan to stop back in next time we are in the area and spend more time.

Vanilla + Black Cherry Sangria and Beer
Hunter D.

We visited Florida Avenue Brewing Co. in Wesley Chapel around 7:00 PM on a Wednesday for their Happy Hour, which runs from 3:00 PM until close, and I highly recommend it. The brewery was very clean, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. The new cherry sangria was absolutely incredible and by far one of the best drinks I have had. It was refreshing, flavorful, and a must try. I also ordered the espresso martini, which was very good. Just be aware that it is not included in Happy Hour. The bartender was fast, attentive, and genuinely kind. Everyone on the staff was friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with excellent drinks, outstanding service, and a clean, inviting space. I look forward to visiting again.

Loaded cheese fries

As a lover of you're my blue boy we definitely had to make a stop at the brewery. So much we made sure to stop on our way in and out of town. The service was awesome all of the bartenders are super cool and knowledgeable. The venue itself is quite big which is great because it doesn't feel crowded at all. The food was delicious still dreaming about those cheese fries. Can't wait to be back!

Florida Avenue Brewing Co. (Wesley Chapel) Really solid spot in Wesley Chapel. The space is big and open with both indoor seating and a nice outdoor area. Parking is easy, which is always appreciated. What stands out most is the happy hour food. The discounted options are excellent quality and genuinely pocket-friendly. Everything we've ordered has been fresh and well-prepared -- way better than typical happy hour fare. Service has been friendly and attentive every time. Relaxed atmosphere that works well for a casual meal. We'll definitely be back for the food specials.

This has to be one of the best breweries in the area. Every beer is delicious. Bartender is very friendly. Make sure you sign up for the reward perks. They have amazing lunch deals. Really cool space. They have an incredible outdoor area. This is a great place to meet up with friends.

French onion soup, Florida Avenue Burger
Thomas M.

Florida Avenue Brewing Co. is one of the best breweries in the Tampa Bay area. There is an indoor bar with plenty of seating and a walk up outdoor bar with a large grass area. The brewery was very busy on this Saturday at 4 pm. The outdoor area had a lot of young children running around, so beware that it is family friendly. This is good if you have young children but it can be a turn off for some guests. If you don't want to be around children then there is plenty of table seating by the hostess as well as a large bar. The beers are above average. If you're a brewery fan then this is a great one to try. They have a good variety. The sours and IPA's stood out as the best of what they had to offer. The food is great. I tried the French onion soup and Florida Avenue burger. If there is a French onion soup on a menu, I am trying it. This is a good one, not the best but solid. The burger was outstanding. The bun, the bacon, the beef; it's perfect. Florida Avenue Brewing in Wesley Chapel is a popular spot for good reason. As a brewery they hit the big 3; great beer, great food, great atmosphere.

Mixed feelings about this place. Glad we have something like it in Wesley Chapel, and the space and location is nice. However the food is underwhelming. Also, the menus seem to not be up to date. Bar service was just standard, nothing memorable.

Beer-B-Q burger and coleslaw
Antonella N.

I would have truly given it 4 stars if it wasn't for our server's action. Food was great, prices are reasonable. 4 star review worthy review... *sigh*. The server was attentive. My husband and I (party of 2) were gladly going to tip her 20%, as we do for any eating out occasions. Once it was time to pay, all she asked was for a signature, she had already given herself a 20% tip. We of course didn't change or edit the percentage, as previously mentioned, it's what we tip anyways. But it was the action behind it. Again, all she asked was for a signature the 20% tip was already selected. We left with a bad impression for the first time.

Recently, stopped by Florida Avenue Brewing Company for a quick bite after getting my nails done. I sat by the bar and ordered a burger, it was delicious and seasoned perfectly. The only downside was the bacon, which was a bit too thick and chewy for my taste, so I ended up taking some of it off. I originally wanted sweet potato fries but the bartender recommended the sweet potato bravas instead. Apparently this a new menu item, and unique alternative to sweet potato fries. They were enjoyable with the crispy skin added a nice crunch! They were best when they first came out (they got a bit soggy later), but the sweet potatoes themselves were still very good. Definitely family-oriented, with lots of kids and teens. There's an arcade in the back and an outdoor area where kids can play, which creates a very lively environment. And if you enjoy beer, this is definitely a great place to visit. You can see the brewing area, which is really cool and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how everything is made. Fun spot with good food, lots of energy, and a little something for everyone!

Came here for dinner on a Friday and was very impressed. I am not a beer drinker, so I cannot speak on that. My friend however ordered a beer and the other two friends ordered a flight each. They raved about the variety of options and what they ordered. Plenty of parking in the lot. The place is huge despite the inside only have maybe 8 tables. Plenty of seating and areas outside in the beer garden. We only sat inside because the wait was shorter and we had a time restraint. I ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls an a side of fries for my meal. I don't do spicy and was a little worried about the cherry peppers, since I've also never had them. It ended up being not spicy. Very delicious! Would definitely come back and recommend!

Cheesesteak Eggrolls
Ali T.

Still a big fan of FAB - however it seems they've changed their menus and are now offering brunch.. to be honest their brunch menu is a bit lackluster. I wish they'd give you the option to either order from the brunch menu or the main menu. Shoutout to our Server Phil who was amazing & attentive!!

We were excited to learn about the history of Ybor City as well as its blended culture and the amazing food. We were not disappointed. Kristie's knowledge of the city and its history is unsurpassed. This could have been a historical tour instead of a foodie tour. It is that in depth. Now the food. I hope you brought your appetite. We started at Café Quiquiriqui with the local staple - the Cuban sandwich. The pressed Cuban bread was crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The layers of mustard, pickles, cheese, pulled pork, ham and salami were perfect. Then we moved to The Bricks for The Rooster - a rice bowl with shredded chicken, tomato, pickled red onion, roasted red pepper and mixed greens served over rice with a cilantro lime aioli. Delicious! Fresh and crisp with flavors that pop! We then started a big portion of the history tour. We visited José Martí Park (Isla de Cuba) - a park that is actually Cuban soil inside of the United States. Amazing history at this location. From there, we moved to the cigar factory district and visited the museum quality displays inside the lobby of the Scientology building. We made our way to the Ybor City Visitors Center where we watched a brief video on the history the city and picked up a few souvenirs. We then headed past the historic casitas near Centennial Park and the Italian Club. Next was the German influence food stop - Barrio Tacos. What? A taco restaurant? We had a full sized taco called "Das Taco". It is a combo of shredded chicken, chorizo sausage, fried onion crisps, a homemade cabbage/brussels sprout slaw with a delectable horseradish sauce. German influence all over this dish. This taste treat is only available on this tour. You can't order it off their menu. Plus, we had fresh corn chips and their terrific salsa. We finished our tour at Nicahabana Cigars for a cup of Café Con Leche in some of the most comfortable chairs in Tampa and a sweet treat from New York New York Pizza - fresh zeppoles with powdered sugar. All throughout the tour, we got snippets of the local history and local folklore. We laughed and took tons of photos. This was seriously one of the best food/history tours we have ever been on. Bring your walking shoes, stay hydrated and have a blast. There may be other tours in Ybor City but don't waste your time on those. Pick The Original Ybor City Food Tour. You won't be sorry!

I don't know where to start…read more This was the absolute best day. We started at the River Ventures Dive Center at 6:30AM, where we were offered coffee, tea, hot cocoa and snacks, and spent the next bit with an educational video and a wetsuit fitting. From there, we took a bus to the dock, in the most gorgeous sunrise light. let by our Guide Nat. Captain Emerson met us at the covered, heated pontoon, and our group set off through the water, for the protected manatee zone. The water was FULL of our sweet sea potatoes... in fact, it was difficult to even get off the boat because our new friends swam right up to the ladder. Nat had given excellent instructions. We immediately leaned into our pool noodles and gently followed her lead through the water. It took just moments before manatees were all around us. We stayed calm and quiet, and they either continued snoozing, or swam up to investigate us. Nat was on point with the camera, and with showing us things like the tarpon and sheepshead fish, and she was also shared little details about the manatees as we floated. Of course, with nature, there are no guarantees, and I really had no idea what to expect, but I was absolutely delighted by the interactions we had. The cold snap absolutely played into our favor, and I am so glad we showed up with our adventurous spirit. When we returned to the boat, there were more snacks, as well as hot cocoa, coffee, tea, and a variety of drinks in the cooler (water, beer, wine, soda, and white claws). We were so grateful for the boat covering and heater as we made our way back to the dock, and we had great chats with Nat, Emerson, and the other group on our tour. Was it cold? Sure. But the water felt great at 72ºF, and our wetsuits did a wonderful job of protecting us and keeping us buoyant. Our experience was incredible, from booking, to engaging with the staff with any questions we had, to the actual tour itself. The photos and videos were absolutely phenomenal, as well, and we were happy to purchase the package, as well as some gifts from the souvenir shop. We will be back for more manatee viewing, or to try one of their other tours. Thank you so much for the best day!

Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and skills were everything you'd want on a boat tour, especially if you're like me visiting the area for the first time. I found the landmarks, wildlife, and local history to be fascinating, and this was also a wonderful way to beat the summer heat. It was just myself and another party of three on the tour. A relaxing time was had and I was so taken with the scenery and landscapes as they are so different from where I live.

I'm so glad I finally did the Living Water Boat Cruises pontoon tour--it gave me an entirely different perspective on the area. One of the highlights for me was cruising past the former Cypress Gardens property, now part of LEGOLAND. I remember visiting Cypress Gardens as a child, so it was fascinating and nostalgic to see the property from the water, including the historic Florida-shaped swimming pool that is being restored and the beautiful old Florida vegetation. Our captain and guide, Sage, was excellent. She is also a Florida native and was extremely knowledgeable about the local history, the lakes, and the wildlife. During the tour we saw ospreys, otters, an alligator, and many different birds. We even got to watch floatplanes landing and taking off on the lakes, which was an unexpected treat. We toured the southern portion of the Chain of Lakes early in the morning, which was perfect because it was an extremely hot Florida day with temperatures expected in the 90s. The timing made the trip very comfortable and enjoyable. I especially appreciated that I happened to be the only guest on my tour and they still accommodated me rather than canceling. It ended up feeling like a wonderful private tour. This was such an enjoyable way to experience a part of Florida that I had never really seen before, despite growing up here. I would highly recommend it to visitors as well as longtime Floridians who want to see Winter Haven and the Chain of Lakes from a completely different perspective
