Hidden gem alert! Longtab Brewing is one of those places you stumble upon and immediately wonder how you didn't find it sooner. The vibe is relaxed, welcoming, and the kind of spot you want to hang out at longer than planned. The food absolutely surprised me--in the best way possible. The chicken panini is hands down the best panini I've ever had. Perfectly pressed, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. Not an exaggeration... it's that good. The beer is just as impressive. Great variety, well-crafted, and easy to enjoy whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a solid pour. On top of all that, the service was amazing--friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience even better. If you're looking for a low-key, local spot with incredible food, great beer, and top-notch service, this is it. Tucked away but 100% worth seeking out. I'll definitely be back. read more

We hit up Longtab after a hike at Eisenhower Park, as is our post-hike tradition. Nestled in a warehouse district, Longtab is a great, welcoming space! I come from a military family so the fact that it's veteran-owned and operated made it that much sweeter. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, with lots of large screen TVs (I got to watch the Winter Olympic closing ceremonies live, so that was a plus). The staff was super friendly, too! The food and beer offerings were top-notch - we had the giant garlic parm pretzel, the spinach dip and the chips and beer queso. Everything was flavorful and served piping hot! I only got a pic of the pretzel because we immediately dug into the rest of the food as soon as it hit the table! Their beers were terrific too: I ordered the Legion scotch ale (tall, dark and tasty) and my friends ordered Hearts and Minds cherry Belgian. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and will be returning soon!! read more

I really like that this is a Veteran owned business. The beers are named for the men and women who fought and died for our freedom. The beers are great and delicious! I love their dark beers. Unfortunately, the food is not great. What we always order is the large pretzel, which is very good. The mustard, served with it, is not what I prefer. If you want yellow mustard, bring your own. The chairs are a little hard and the ladies' bathroom is a a one-seater but always clean. read more

Longtab is worth the drive. I was staying on the Riverwalk and wasn't sure if I need to venture this far for a good brewery experience, but I am glad I did. The Belgian-style selection did not disappoint, and the ginormous pretzel exceeded expectations. read more

Great veteran brewery with good food menu and great beer! I highly recommend the cinnamon sugar pretzel bites. They are life changing. This place is great for a weeknight dinner. Good service, good atmosphere. Bar seating at the bar and some high top tables in the front room. Regular tables in the back room. read more

I came here with a buddy during the week for an after work drink. The spot is very proud of its military heritage! They have a war movie playing on one Tv screen at all times. When we went, they were playing "the Green Berets." The first room near the bar is a bit more low key. I suggest you enter the second room with the projector screen. They have plenty of screens to watch whatever game is on. The food is also delicious. The waitress did a great job suggesting the nachos. On my list of best breweries in town. A bit out of the way from the city center, but worth the drive! read more

We happened here after visiting the Animal Shelter. They had an Oktoberfest party happening and the place was busy inside! It was very festive with traditional German outfits and a live band! The beers were very good, and they have a full kitchen and menu. The bartender noted that the food menu changes depending on special events (there was a lot of German-style food and apps), but there are some staples as well. We ordered a large pretzel and a brat on a pretzel bun. It was all very, very good! My only reason for giving it 4 stars out of 5 is that I love a nice patio or a place to sit outside. The location is in some industrial area and though they do have outdoor seating it is not covered and basically just in the parking lot. We visited on a HOT summer day and no one was out there. The place is super clean and cool inside! We will be back if we are ever in the area again. read more

I'm so glad that we were recently introduced to Longtab Brewery. Some dear friends of ours were in town and had visited here before and suggested we meet up. The drinks and food were outstanding and I believe this will be a new hangout for us. Longtab is veteran owned with rich brews. They also have some great Texas wines. I had the Messina Hof Almond Demi-Sec and it was downright delightful. The food was awesome. My husband and I shared a giant Bavarian pretzel. The beer cheese sauce was the perfect accompaniment. We also shared the sausage and red pepper flatbread. We licked the platter clean and were stuffed when we left. The staff was great and helpful. We will be back soon. Follow them on social media for specials and events. read more

Service was subpar. First time visiting and the waitress pointed out where we can grab our own water. Also, the ventilation was pretty bad. It was stuffy/warm and as soon as you walk in, there is a strong smell of greasy food lingering in the air that attaches to your hair and clothing. Last note, if you're interested in spirits, this restaurant does not have a liquor license so there is only beer and wine. read more

Mid food, my dad got a flatbread that tasted underwhelming. I had the bratwurst with kraut but Kraut had very little flavor and no heat whatsoever. Brat really needed mustard which would have helped. Cheese dip for pretzel was very good but lower rating due to poor service. Waiter nice enough but lacked anticipation or attention to detail when providing water or items needed. read more

We found this gem trying to decide where to meet up with a friend visiting from out of state. They have many options to choose from if you're a beer drinker. I decided to get a vanilla latte with bourbon, which was delicious-- I got two orders of it. They also have a good variety of food to choose from. However, we weren't too hungry, so we got just a pretzel to share. But we'll be back to try other things on the menu. I love that this place is veteran-owned. read more

Longtab Brewing made for a fantastic date night! The food was delivered hot and was absolutely delicious. My husband tried two beers, the Panzer Kaserne and OSS, while I enjoyed the Jedburgh, which was clean, crisp, and refreshing. Hubby loves a good Oatmeal Stout, so the OSS was an obvious favorite. We started with the Bavarian pretzel, and the mustard was divine, setting the tone for a great meal. The pulled pork nachos were also incredible, loaded with flavor in every bite. For our main courses, I chose the pulled pork sandwich, while my husband went for the German bratwurst plate. Every dish we tried was amazing and delivered with great attention to quality. Even though it was busy for a Friday night, we found a place to sit right away. The atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming, and the servers were attentive despite the crowd. Prices were reasonable, and we left feeling satisfied and happy to have supported a veteran-owned business--something especially meaningful to us as my husband is a veteran himself. If you're looking for a fun, flavorful, and unique spot for a night out, Longtab Brewing is perfect. We'll definitely be back! read more

Welcome to a cool, relaxing brewery with great ambiance honoring our military. Sit back in a comfy sofa and enjoy the unique beer offerings. Very much on the Belgian side, with dark and delicious brews. While the beer is outstanding, the food stands on its own. It's rare to find a brewery that serves such delicious food. So,, get over to Longtab Brewing this October during Oktoberfest and through Christmas when they break out their fall beers! Cheers read more

The brewery is in an industrial park, not too far off the main roads. I've had one of their beers before, and looked them up. I like that they are veteran owned. We walked in and there is menu stand right there, plus a cooler full of canned beer. Also merch. Bar has about 8-10 spots to sit at. There are about 10 table with chairs in the front part of the brewery. There is another section near the kitchen, and there is more seating there. I don't remember anything outdoors, but I did ask if I can smoke a cigar, they said out in the parking lot,. I can't tell you if it was dog friendly, I didn't ask or notice any thing that mentioned animals. I love the decor. Military. Ashley came over and we talked about what they had to drink. She went over the menu. Very polite and knowledgeable. We don't get any food, we had eaten at another place. Will try the food here next time. They don't have flights, but they will give you a sample. We will definitely be back. Parking lot was clean, bar and seating area was clean, the bathrooms were clean read more

Great, great beer and awesome service. I had the corn chowder which was delicious and the beef rib torta which was not. The meat was shredded, flavorful, but not tender. The bread was okay, but not soft. There was a minimum of sauce, and accompanying vegetables very unlike a well made traditional torta, or fusion torta. The chef needs to visit "I Love Churros" to sample a great fusion torta. A good torta is a messy affair with lots of sauce, cheese, soft bread, and vegetables. read more

Food and beer were excellent- highly recommend their in-house craft beer! Ambiance - it was too hot inside of that place. No air circulating at all! Very uncomfortable Service- terrible. If you're not a member, don't expect good service! read more

What a fantastic place. We wanted dinner, and saw them in Yelp, so decided to try them out. Though I wasn't sure because breweries are typically loud, I quickly became a fan. The beer was fantastic, the food was amazing, the atmosphere friendly. I could hear music from my youth (the 60s), but it was in the background. I didn't have to strain to hear my wife, nor yell so she could hear me. The service? fast, friendly, there but not hovering. I also love all the references to the Armed Forces; I'm an Air Force retiree, so in may ways it felt like coming home. Definitely going back! read more

Love this place. The food and beer are awesome. It's like an SF museum! I would highly recommend the brat on a pretzel bun. It is fantastic and this is from someone that lives in Wisconsin. read more

Came upon this place in accident and so glad we stopped! Great atmosphere - 2 rooms with high, airy ceilings, and an outdoor patio. Attentive, informative, and friendly table service. I had a Belgian ale and the kolsch - both from their brewery and both very good. Menu looks great (nice array of items and reasonable prices, and affogato for dessert!) but didn't have a chance to try anything this time. Would give 5 stars but no sour beer on the menu and not a gluten-free friendly menu. Still coming back though. read more

Great beer and appetizers. Try the beer cheese soup and Bavarian pretzel! Good place to relax and listen to music.

Pretty cool place, good beer and as a Tampa native, the Cuban was pretty good! The nachos we got were pretty large and tasty too! There is outdoor seating which would be great in the early spring and fall when it is cooler! They have a nice selection of merch too. read more

I came here for a graduation event and my friend rented out the back room. It was really relaxed with comfy couches and great service. If you don't mind a ton of military memorabilia, it isn't a bad spot for beer and bar food. One thing I was surprised by was the disproportion of their beer glasses. My gf got the first beer on the menu and I got the 2nd and they came back with hers being huge. I enjoyed the beer but it was the bar food that was impressive. The pretzel was deliciously soft but crisp at the same time. They had a variety of mustard, pickles and cheese to compliment it. The pork belly nachos were so flavorful. They had some board games and a nice coffee table to play on. So it was a fun night catching up and dining here. read more
