We found this spot last night after wandering around the Armature Works. It was only around 8pm, but the spot was already pretty packed. We got a spot by the bar (otherwise the wait for a table was bordering on 2 hours, so we opted to try at the bar. People were mostly ordering drinks and not sitting down, so we were able to secure some spots rather quickly. It seemed like most people were out enjoying the music or the views. The bar was pretty busy (understandable for a Friday night) and we had to just hang out at the bar and hope for some chairs/spots to open up. Luckily, they did and we were able to order some drinks and eat some food. We opted for a couple of Carajillos and a Paloma. Honestly service was great and each cocktail tasted and looked good. For the food, we opted for some shared bites--shrimp cocktail (about 3 seasoned shrimps and a small dipping sauce), chips and salsa, 3 smaller lobster rolls, and a burger with fries. It was pretty quick/short turnaround time for the items to be ordered and then brought out to us. The presentation for each item was amazing and tasted as good as it looked. Although the shrimp cocktail was only 3 piece of shrimp, they were huge shrimp and full of flavor, skewered with a lime. The lobster rolls were so good. Small sliders packed with tons of meat. Good portion of filling to bread. The burger and fries were honestly to die for. Perfect amount of salt and a true medium for the cooked temperature. I think the only gripe I had was that the service was a bit on the slower side when it came to flagging down someone to take our order. Granted, it was packed in there. I just felt like they were serving everyone else before coming to our section to assist. I also got the lobster roll and the burger with fries to go (family was flying in that night and we didn't want them to starve. The to go food was pretty well packed. I would probably come here again, if given the chance. The views were amazing and I'm hoping that on a less busy night, the service would be a little more attentive. read more

Come for the epic views!!! I will preface this review with, I have only been here late at night for drinks and dancing, but we always have an amazing time! The DJs are always great, the bartenders are friendly, and the espresso martini always hits the spot. The Tampa skyline views are truly amazing. The later you come, you may have to wait in line but its worth the wait. read more

The best panoramic view of downtown Tampa. We had dinner at Oak & Ola. Then arrived here for drinks & the skyline. The drinks are top notch & the view at night is breathtaking especially with a nice breeze. The service is fast at the bar & place is packed to the max Friday / Saturday nights. read more

I loved my drinks here to move this up to a five. There is a pretty young and bro-y crowd on a Wednesday night after 10 p.m. I'm surprised how many people were here. We were able to get a table, but it was pretty busy. I loved my drinks and the views of Tampa are pretty nice. I got the silk and sage which is grey goose peach and rosemary, lemon, apricot liqueur, and sage simple. It was delicious! I would absolutely get it again. I also tried my friend's chai after dark, which is cazadores reposado, coffee liqueur, demerara, espresso, chai. This is like an espresso martini, but with a strong chai flavor. I actually prefer it to an espresso martini and definitely would get it again. I did try their espresso martini, which was pretty good, but I think the chai one is better (or at least more unique). There are so many other drinks on the menu I'd like to try. If you're at Armature works, you should check this place out. read more

The staff are wonderful, all of the drinks are awesome, and the view is amazing. It's so fun to enjoy armature works from the rooftop and watch the river walk activities. read more

Came here on a Friday night to meet up with some friends and the place was packed! It was an interesting mix of people and by this I mean all ages from young to old, but many leaning towards the older side. Lots of people making out (of all ages). The drinks took a while to be made but it was a busy night, they are all closer to $20. They had a live DJ who was okay. If you need to use the bathroom, it's probably best to just hold it because the line was atrocious. Overall, I think this place wasn't my cup of tea but I do think this could be a vibe during the day. I'll have to try it out another time, I did come in October so many people were dressed up. read more

The vibes at M Bird are fantastic. I had a great time here, and the food was definitely a highlight. I tried the steak frites and the quesadilla, and both were yummy. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the fries were crispy and flavorful. The quesadilla had the right balance of textures and flavors. Overall, it's a great spot for both the atmosphere and the food. read more

I've always heard of Armature Works but never went to see what was offered. But i decided to randomly go with friends and i can't believe i waited so long to come here. The view of the city was amazing right along with the amazing food. We had steak frite and m burger. I had medium rare steak and it was cooked perfectly along with Parmesan truffle fries and a well seasoned salad. We all had drinks that were good. I had the Saturn but it tasted like juice and no alcohol. But it was still pretty good. The waiter was attentive and nice. I'd definitely come back. read more

There is a minimum when you reserve a space like this with a large group! Came here for a networking event and the service was absolutely incredible. Wonderful views of the river and the lawn. Our server was so sweet and helpful and we were such a large party. She was fantastic. Her name started with A and she had medium brown hair! The thugshot turned into a cocktail was my favorite drink and my favorite meal on the menu was the steak and chimichurri sauce. The minimum was either 50 or 55 per head, which isnt so bad with all things considered: great drinks, food, service, and views. read more

M Bird - Silk & Sage See you at dusk - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We'd been to M Bird a few years back when they first opened, and were excited to give it another try! We sat at the bar and the bartender took our drink order right away. We enjoyed our drinks and the view of downtown. Unfortunately food took 30+ mins to arrive and one of the items was incorrect due to a miscommunication between myself and the server. They promised to correct things but after 20 more minutes and no food, we cancelled our order all together. I'd recommend grabbing something to eat downstairs at armature and heading here for drinks afterward. read more

Spacious rooftop bar located at armature works. Beautiful views of Tampa Bay. We ordered some cocktails and THE GRAZING BOARD (artichoke & crab dip. hummus. smashed avocado. layered dip of pico de gallo, queso & black bean. pita. adobo tortilla chips. vegetable crudite). There was a DJ and the music was not too loud. We could talk and hear each other while still enjoying the music. Great vibes! read more

Such a fun and vibrant rooftop in Tampa!! Come earlier in the day to enjoy sunshine and refreshing drinks, at sundown to see the beautiful sunset along the skyline, or at night for a popping vibe with a dj and dancing. It definitely gets packed at night, so don't be surprised by the crowd which definitely skews younger. I've visited this spot mainly for drinks and it's always a great time. I enjoy coming during the afternoon to catch a seat along the edge and people watch at Armature, and at nighttime it's a fun party spot. Definitely on the pricier side but drinks are always quality. read more

This spot is beautiful! My family and I were on vacation when we visited. The restaurant has an interior with a gorgeous view of the city as well as a rooftop. The servers were quick, friendly and very informative about their menu. The food and drinks did not disappoint either! If you are in the area, I would definitely check it. They were also located on top of what appeared to be like a mall/food court/ market area which was fun to explore afterwards. read more

M Bird - Mojito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We had a reservation at 3:30 in the afternoon. We were greeted by the hosts and let them know we had a reservation. Where they planned on sitting us under an umbrella outside was being occupied by someone that just sat themselves there. The only place to put us was directly in the sun since other guest kept getting drinks from the bar and seating themselves. So apparently you don't need to speak to the host you're better off seating yourself to get the shade. The bathrooms were horrendous with no toilet paper in any stalls and trash all over the floor. It wasn't busy enough to justify this lack of care for the restrooms. Honestly seems like they are going for a club vibe then a nice bar to grab an overpriced drink and a bite to eat. read more

My friend and I are visiting Tampa from SF and had many people recommend to us M Bird! We were excited for some rooftop bar vibes, but I will say it's not a very high rooftop! It's on like the 2nd or 3rd floor but it did have some nice views of the bay. We came on a Saturday and it was pretty packed, we were told Thursday's are their busiest days. The crowd seemed pretty young, I'm not even 30 but it just seemed like really young energy. For example the minute we walked in, someone threw up right in front of us and it got on our shoes. It wasn't even 11pm and a lot of the crowd was already turrrrnt. The DJ was great and the drinks were good! read more

Horrendous parking situation. Slow service. Nice view. I called and asked for a reservation for Saturday, Dec 23 at 5:15pm. I received the confirmation email and text. When we arrived the hostess said they don't take Saturday reservations... after speaking with her for a couple minutes she was able to put us at a couch outside with a view of the water. The holiday boat parade was going on so we wanted to have a view of that. Waited about 10 minutes for a server to come and and tell us she would go get waters while we decided. Another 10 minutes to actually get the water so we made sure we knew what to order for when she came with the waters. Ordered the chips and dip and the other nacho app. The chips came out soon after. The other app did not arrive until after we were about done with our entrees so we sent it back and had them take it off the bill. I had the Mac n cheese. It was decent, pico had a little spice to it. Other people had the jerk tacos which arrived with warm plates but almost cold meat. Drinks were decent. View was nice. read more

Great cocktails, great vibe, and great location! They make some really good espresso martinis here! There is soft seating if you want to reserve a VIP section. The views are really cool if you're interested in Tampa. I've been here twice, both times were great. This is a fun place to grab drinks, with your friends. There is a DJ. My only complaint is that Antonio, one of the security guards discriminates. Long story short, I was with my husband, standing near a "VIP table" my drink was on the table, I was standing next to it, Antonio walked over and told me you can't have your drink on this table, remove your drink! " i took my drink off of the table and stood in the same vicinity. Five minutes later, I saw a group of girls come over and they started to sit in the chairs at the table that my drink was sitting on, it was only two girls, they were Caucasian, if you're interested, I'm African-American, I waited to see if Antonio would tell the girls who were sitting at the table, in the chairs to get up, and he didn't tell them to get up off the table, and they did not buy vip. So I watched. I thought that I was getting discriminated against, I felt that I was being treated differently. I saw it happen with my own eyes, as a black woman I put a cocktail on a table top, and then I see two white women sit at the same table And enjoy their cocktails. So I approach Antonio, and ask him "why did you tell me I couldn't even put my drink on the table while you allow these two girls to sit at the table." He said "hold on hold on" and proceed to kick the girls away from the table. It's the principal for me, I don't appreciate being treated different and being embarrassed for place a drink on the table. @girls y'all were so cute. Sorry lol read more

Great rooftop bar located at the top floor at armature Works. We came in here with a group just to have some drinks on a Saturday afternoon. They have some great specialty drinks. I had the Billy Ocean water: lime and coconut concoction with Diplomatico Planas Rum, Rum Haven Rum, Giffard Blue Curacao, Coco Lopez, lime, orgeat. Service was good. It does have beautiful views looking out over the Hillsboro River and the skyline of Tampa. I have not tried any food here, but they do offer food. read more

If you're looking for a great vibe, great drinks, and great food- M.Bird is the way to go. I've been going here for years and have never been disappointed at any of my visits. I love asking the bartenders for drink suggestions and recommendations and going when there's live music and overlooking Downtown Tampa is always an amazing vibe and view. If you're looking for a place that has everything you want and more, has good prices and options, make sure you check them out! read more

M. Bird is located in a very cool area with lots to eat/drink and a great view. We stopped in for some drinks and they had some very unique and yummy cocktails. Be prepared for cocktails and drinks on the pricier side. The rooftop was very aesthetic and cute for photo opportunities. The view was also great! The music was a bit loud for conversation and the service was decent. We didn't stay to see the night life side of the rooftop but for an early evening drink, this was a nice spot! read more

What a strange place. I think if you're looking for a casual rooftop literally any other option in Tampa would be better suited for your needs. The dj was playing house music the whole time and the crowd was odd. Some of the patrons were aggressive but the security handled the situation. The drinks were ok but the majority of the area is blocked off for VIP. I've heard so many negative things about the place but went in with an open mind and should have listened to what I heard. Its supposedly a different atmosphere during the day but from my experience I do not recommend M Bird at night. read more

A Bartender from armature works recommended this roof top bar. Sad that it's raining pretty hard but thankfully that they have covered area and still able to enjoy the view. I got my drink called "after thot" haha it's a funny name but it's a very tasty drink. It tasted like sweet grapefruit and didn't taste like alcohol at all. I'm not sure is that a strong drink but I definitely felt buzz and tipsy after even though I had a gin and tonic beforehand. But I definitely highly recommend this drink. We loved the view and got to see lightning while sitting there. The whole place is very cute, I can't imagine how busy it can get during the weekend or sunny day. Our bartender was super nice to us. She recommended my drink, and she gave us some knowledge about tequila. Definitely want to see her again when we visit this place again! read more

00000000 is my rating! This place scammed me of my money and now they won't refund it to me. I came here the past Friday with my friend we got two drinks a thing of truffle fries and still somehow our bill was 150 we paid it had a decent time. I was just charged last night so five days later for another hundred dollars I call to see if I can get a refund because I did not spend another hundred dollars and they said that it was another bill with food and drinks on it And it had crab dip and drinks. I don't even drink they put someone else's tab on my card and now they won't refund me do not let this place scam you. read more

Honestly if I could give this place 6 stars I would. Our waitress was amazing (until she left the second guy seemed like he hated his life). Our food came out as it was done vs when everyone's was done which was nice because NOTHING was cold and it was all super yummy and flavorful. I was happy because sometimes when you have to pay more money for food that looks good its not always good but the quality and flavors were worth the price. The drinks were the perfect mix and were sweet and strong enough. As well as being aesthetically pleasing it tasted great. The music and atmosphere was IMMACULATE. The DJ knew exactly how to do his job he had throwbacks mixed with current music and it was just a whole vibe. I would absolutely go back I specifically want to go back for brunch and see how that is. Please be aware that we have heard the wait times are normally pretty long but we went and had no wait and got to sit outside on the rooftop and not under the cover in the dark. I was super pleased but know that I have heard of friends/family not having as good of an experience as we did. read more

M. Bird is upstairs in the Colonial Heights amateur works building. There are several signs when you walk in about not wearing hoodies or sweatpants but plenty of people were wearing both so the rules are pretty loose. I went during lunchtime and they told me there was a wait. Walking around I saw several tables empty but marked reserved. After waiting about 30 minutes for a tables I was sat at one of the reserved tables that had been free the whole time. With how poorly organized the seating was the drinks and food were fast and pretty delicious. The Afterthot and Billy Ocean water were the best drinks. With beautiful colors they were both very flavorful, fresh, and boozy. The truffle fries were crispy and a good bite. Great views on the 2nd floor, great cocktails, but the seating and wait time was silly. read more
