We were really looking forward to visiting during our five-night stay in Clearwater while we were…read morein town to see the Philadelphia Phillies during MLB Spring Training. 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.

The atmosphere was super cool, loved the inside and outside seating options. Service was super friendly and quick. He chose the Invincible Moose and said it was really good. We ordered food, which also came out really quick. The fries were a hit for my hubby, while I thought they were a tad dry, he found them to be amazing. I ordered the veggie burger. It was pretty good, especially with the toppings. My hubby ordered the Cuban. The first bites were a little dry, but when you got to the toppings, everything blended together, very similar to my veggie burger. The prices were very reasonable as well. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back.

Ordered the smoked meat loaf and this was amazing! The corn was flavorful with a light charred to them, mashed potatoes were creamy and soft. But the meat loaf was fantastic, light and fluffy with a very unique sauce. The second day had the smoked wings and all the same! Great flavor, great size but the ranch was something different? It was really good and I might need to get a side salad next time with that on top of it. Super light but great flavor. But still great service and food all the same!

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.

I finally got the chance to check out Lees Grocery for a superbowl dinner and will definitely be returning. The atmosphere was very laid back and although it was pretty empty when we went, I can imagine it's a fun spot when it's more busy. The inside is smaller than I anticipated it to be, but I enjoyed it. Made it seem homier. I was surprised to see the large outdoor seating area, which seems great for larger groups! Food: The wings are absolutely amazing. We ordered the 10 wings, plain, with hot and mild sauce and blue cheese on the side. The wings were so perfectly seasoned and almost reminded me of the wings on a rotisserie chicken, nicely smoked. We also got a plain cheese pizza pie, 18''. It came out fresh, hot, and the cheese and sauce had great flavor. It does have a thicker chewier crust. Parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper, and garlic powder are available to add on top. There were a lot of fun pizza options/ combos and we'll be back to try the more interesting flavors. I'm also interested in trying the garlic parmesan wings. The nice thing about smaller joints like this is that the food comes out quick and so fresh! No food is sitting around when the kitchen is so close to the main dining area. Drinks: They have such a large variey of canned craft beers, ipa's, seltzers, and even non-alcoholic beers. There were also 6 different draft beers. I sipped on some Surfside's, while my boyfriend enjoyed the Tampa Export gold lager. It was a very light and crisp beer. The bartender was great and let us sample a couple of the beers and even made a mix of a sour and seltzer beer that she likes!

I really appreciated how welcoming and approachable the staff was. The atmosphere felt comfortable and family-like, and I loved that they don't hold back on the toppings. The flavor combination of how all the different toppings work together was even more enjoyable than the pizza underneath it for me personally. For this style of pizza, I'd definitely recommend getting something with sausage. The sausage was easily the best part for me, and this style of pizza really complemented the sausage they used. The crust had a little bit of a spongy texture which makes it a very filling pizza.

The sauerkraut warm and tart. The soft pretzel decent. We'd come back here.

I've been coming here consistently since July 2023, usually 4 to 6 days a week every single week,…read moreso this place has genuinely been a huge part of my routine and community. My Google review from a year ago gave this place five stars because it truly felt like an amazing space built around dogs, community, and responsible ownership. Looking back at that review now honestly makes the decline even more disappointing, because even just a year ago this place felt completely different in the best way. This place is supposed to be a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs and the people who love them. For many members, our dogs are family, and that's why the recent direction of the business has become genuinely heartbreaking and honestly alarming to watch. A growing number of members are becoming deeply uncomfortable with the decision to repeatedly host large rave-style events at a facility specifically designed for dogs. After previous events, there were already serious concerns about the condition of the property afterward, even after professional cleaning crews had supposedly finished. Members and staff still found debris throughout the space and parking lot and many people are now questioning whether any environment used for late-night parties like this can realistically ever be cleaned well enough to guarantee dogs are safe there afterward. Dogs spend their entire time at this facility with their noses on the ground, sniffing turf, licking surfaces, and putting things in their mouths. That is exactly what dogs do. The idea that dangerous substances, residue, pills, or other hazardous materials could potentially be missed during cleanup is terrifying for pet owners. One mistake could have DEVASTATING consequences for someone's dog. The best comparison I can make is this: imagine if a daycare hosted large rave parties at night and then told parents the next morning that everything had been cleaned and was safe again. Most parents would never feel comfortable with that. That is exactly how many dog owners are starting to feel here. What made this weekend especially upsetting was learning that the business was supposed to reopen after the latest event, only for members to then receive notice that the facility would remain closed due to cleanup issues, with uncertainty about reopening even the next day. That only reinforced concerns that these events are creating problems far beyond a normal private party. At the same time, members continue paying premium annual fees while receiving reduced operating hours, less access, ongoing inventory problems at the bar, and repeated closures tied to outside events. Many people joined because this was marketed as a community-centered space focused on dogs, safety and responsible ownership. Lately, it feels like those priorities are no longer coming first. I know several members who are already questioning whether they will renew their memberships because trust in the safety and direction of the business is starting to disappear.

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.

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.

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
