    LBC has become one of those places I really want to love because they do so many things right--but the service keeps holding them back. First, if you've never tried the meatloaf cupcakes, do it. Seriously. Don't knock them until you try them. They're one of the best things on the menu. The food in general is solid, and LBC always has fun events and live entertainment, which is what keeps bringing me back. Unfortunately, the service has been consistently disappointing over multiple visits. On my most recent visit, we sat at the bar for 5-10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us, even though two bartenders walked by several times. Once we were finally helped, I ordered a beer that was listed as a bottle/can option but was automatically served a draft without being asked. I don't drink draft beer, so that was frustrating. The bartender's attitude improved as the visit went on, and I appreciated that, but this wasn't an isolated experience. After several visits, the service has consistently been the weakest part of LBC. I'll still come back for the events, the atmosphere, and those meatloaf cupcakes. I just hope one day the service catches up to everything else because this place has so much potential.

    I sat at the bar that was not packed and it took at least 10 minutes for anybody to come over and I think that's being generous. And the one just kept walking back-and-forth, without a word. I had the habanero wings. I had a three daughters raspberry lemonade cider, and some of their onion rings. The wings were a little dry. The onion rings were good, but overall with that service it's not worth it.

    Lots of bottom of the bag chips

    LBC had great food. I got the burger that had blue cheese and substitute chx at no extra charge. Chips and coleslaw are standard sides. Substitute fries or something else is $2 upgrade. So I sucked it up and got fries which was a huge helping; however half of them looked like they were broken pieces from the bottom of the bag. But my burger was big, juicy and delicious. The waitress was super helpful. Which came in handy because the drinks we kept trying to order from the menu where not available when she went to get it. She got some steps in with our table. Drinks were cold and good. And prices were amazing. Best I've seen in a long time without happy hour. The place is fun for the whole family. Despite being in a strip mall, it has outdoor seating and games for kids and adults. Also live bands. Fun place for a night out.

    Breakfast bowl and biscuits with gravy

    Came to a cars and coffee event and LBC had a brunch menu. They had biscuits and gravy as the special and we ordered the breakfast bowl. The biscuits and gravy were delicious! Not the white out of a can gravy but homemade! The breakfast bowl was nice and the grits were creamy

    Event

    Tayler was great and very attentive. Food is always wonderful! KUDOS also to LBC for hosting such a wonderful and fun event to support Lavitas Warriors every Wednesday for the month of June starting at 7pm #greatfood #breastcancerawareness #lavitaswarriors

    The cider I decided on because all the other selections were not available.

    The menu at this restaurant is fantastic. It's very diverse, has a lot of variety. And the burgers are definitely The Star here. I ended up having a toasted turkey apple crossaint sandwich which was yummy. The seating outside is perfect for friends and those who want to bring their family members. Because it has a great place for the kids to play. The prices were decent and you definitely get a lot of food. I was very surprised to really like the chips that came with my meal. I actually ate the entire side of chips before I finished my sandwich! The beer and cider menu is very extensive and it was one of the draws that brought me to this location. However, they really need to update their menu because several of the items that I and my dinner mate wanted were not available and the waitress only knew this after she had to go back a nd forth to let us know what we wanted wasn't there! That's not cool, but the waitress was great. I do plan ongoing back and I will bring my family I just don't want to get too attached to the beer drink menu.

    Some of the many taps side LBC

    With the closure of our unmatched beer Mecca for the area - Palm Harbor House of Beers - a sad sad turn of events... Local Brewing Company, across & up I-19, is now the reigning champ for beer selection in the area with over 50 taps of draft beers. Amazing range of beers to satisfy any beer drinker or aficionado - so many local breweries across TampaBay are represented that you can travel the region with a beer glass! Only thing is the beer selection was very well chosen/curated /varied up front that they do minimal rotation across the selection which HoB used to do so expertly and challenged us with esoteric or unusual beers to try every time we came in. But be that as it may, the draft beer selection is stellar at LBC. LBC also has great sports bar, lots of screens across ample size space and great pub food! Think burgers, flatbreads, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads and great daily specials. I had the fish & chips which was perfectly cooked with crunchy batter and hot steaming fish inside -and look at the portions! All in all a great space with lots of music and community events with good bartenders to build a very welcoming environment

    What's With the Cocktail Napkins?

    I'm titling this review "What's With the Cocktail Napkins?" Read on: I have to echo some other reviews stating the place was understaffed. We experienced the same thing. Apparently, they hadn't considered that a rare warm January night would bring out diners interested in outside seating. Still, other than some long delays, that didn't negatively impact our experience. In the end, our server, Tina, hustled her rear end off, earning her a 100% tip. She deserved it not just for us, but for the other tables she was juggling. I hope those other tables followed suit. As for the food, there was a lot of it. Wife got a turkey club sandwich, which fed her for two nights. I got the 1992 Lightning Burger. TIP: Order this cut in half. The flavor bomb is in the middle of the burger, so if you order it whole, it may take a few bites to hit the flavor you're expecting. I'll do this next time. Wings were typical, fries were excellent. Plenty of leftovers. The question we and many other tables had: Why are the cocktail napkins stamped with the Mariott logo? Nobody had an answer for that. Place isn't owned by Marriott and there's not a Marriott hotel or sister branded hotel within miles. Fun little diversion, I guess. Quick footnote: For a place called Local Brewing Company, they didn't have many local beers available. They were out of just about everything on tap. That might be a supply-side thing, being just after the holidays. If you get Tina as a server, be sure to ask about her podcast.

    I use to come here YEARS ago when I lived near Clearwater and just so happened to recently be on this side of town Monday night! Looks like the place could use a bit of a remodel, looking old now. The food was still amazing :) the raspberry lemonade cocktail was NOT good! Service was okay.. they had bingo going on which was fun. Very spacious, huge inside & outside patio! Probably great for sporting events

The view is pretty good if you are sitting at the edges. I have been told you have to beware some tourists that'll wrestle up to the side to capture the sunset even if you have already been sitting there so prepare for that. The Bar proper is pretty generic and the drinks are ok-ish as i have had better for less elsewhere. Even with that its still a cool place to visit once in awhile. If you ARE going to be sitting at the bar be cautious of the local bee's wanting to share space with you. Just dont sit by the areas where the drink ingredients are stored on the top and you should be ok. There are steps once you get off the elevator to get into the bar but there is a wheelchair lift that will get you the next few feet up.

Those guys are always on their game. Always greeted with a friendly smile and hello with a prompt service of your drink of choice. These guys are so good that they can recall most every person's favorite drink! Now that is awesome. The place is always clean even when a bit of popcorn is dropped from customers, it is not long before it is cleaned up. The tables are cleaned regularly and the staff picks up empties all the time and ready to provide you with a refill. Don't forget to look for the "Dog-Pig" it is a thing, and you may end up with a free drink when you find it. The outside has tables ready for you on those great days and evenings you want to sit outside. Most every weekend, they have live entertainment outside (when the weather permits). Rosie's is truly a gem and a great place to go. Everyone loves Rosie's in Dunedin. I highly recommend this place. There are no such things as strangers, just friends that have not met yet!

Additionally, when explaining the drink options, she explicitly advised us against ordering the Navy Grog on the list, stating that it tasted like ship water. - The Drinks: Based on the celebration, we decided to split the "South Seas Pearl." We found the drink to be overwhelming, and given the premium price tag, we expected the quality to better match the cost. I wanted to bring these matters to your attention in the hope that they can be addressed for future guests.
