We snagged a reservation before we our dinner plans to check out this spot - I've heard a lot about…read moreit. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM and we had 90 minutes max for the table. It definitely started to fill in more by the time we left at 7:15 and there was barely any standing room, so definitely recommend a reservation! We really loved the overall vibe. Great DJ playing, cocktails were good and they had a decent happy hour. The music did continue to get louder as more people filled it, so it was difficult to have a conversation without sitting next to each other. Definitely wasn't what we were expecting considering it feels more like a vibey lounge. We didn't mind it, just were surprised. One thing that was upsetting was when we received our check. We saw on the menu when we first ordered that an automatic 20% gratuity is added to all checks - totally fine by us and we were okay with this. However, when we received our check, the gratuity line was clearly marked through as if it wasn't a part of the total bill and this felt sleezy to us. It already was added and included in the total, so it felt like an intentional way to get people to over tip. We really didn't appreciate that and it left a bad impression on us.

The perfect after dinner dessert pairing: espresso martini & chocolate cake…read more The best espresso martini Milagro resposado tequila ever! Located inside The Edition, the far back hotel bar surrounded by lush green plants. Ordered with a slice of the chocolate ganache cake. Comes with fruit garnish on the side. Entire cake is literally creamy truffle ganache but not as soft as mousse. Tastes just like a huge portion of the inside of a gigantic decadent creamy chocolate truffle ball... the best part of any truffle ball! After spending several hours on a roof top pool, dinner at Boulon with a couple of friends, we meandered here. While I was scarfing down this ganache cake, they were playing a few rounds of pool. The service is professional & spectacular. The interior is like a green plant conservatory, spa vibe scents.

Perfect for a date where you want to hear each other speak. We nabbed the center seating for the 8 guests in our party. The concept is clever highlighting punch style concoctions.

Our bartender was knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the flavor profiles of items on the menu.

Definitely one of my favorite spots in Tampa for a fun night out! The food was also SO good. We ordered a bunch of different things to share and honestly everything was delicious.

If you're looking for a restaurant with incredible food and an amazing atmosphere I would definitely recommend Arts Club. I can't wait to go back!

The DJ was the highlight for me. Somehow he mixed urban with techno and it was a little bit of everything for every personality -- I loved it. The food and drinks were my LEAST favorite thing about the place, but I would surprisingly go back on a date or a cute night out with some my boo to enjoy the intimate vibes. This place is EXPENSIVE! $28 for a French 75 -- so correction, the price was my least favorite thing about this place. So along as you have a good budget, you should be good.

You can tell they're skilled and actually care about your experience, not just making drinks. Oh and they have bar snacks now! It's not included with your drinks like in Europe. You have to order separately and they come in the most adorable tray for $5! The music is always on point, which honestly makes a huge difference in the overall vibe. Also, I love their hours...it's one of those places you can count on when you're not ready for the night to end.

Hands down THE MOST IMPRESSIVE TIKI BAR IVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!…read more Ive been a lot of places and been to a lot of bars. I find tiki bars to be the funnest theme of bars. Morgan's Cove is the king of all tiki bars. Its so cool, the entrance to the bar is speakeasy style hidden door. Once you walk in its mind blowing how much detail is put into this place. The theme is sea monsters. The walls have carvings of sea monsters. Theres a leviathan hanging above the bar. Theres a really cool handmade pirate ship in a glass case by the bar. Its all so badass and so well done...just a beautiful bar. Chefs kiss. The drinks are amazing too. I went for a rum event. I had 2 different drinks and tasted all of my friend's drinks. All very delicious and hard hitting. Everyone there was super nice. The crowd the staff, theyre all so nice. I would fly out here just to visit this bar again. I highly highly recommend Morgan's Cove!!!

If you're on the fence, skip them. The waffle of the chicken & waffles was a little dry. I'd ask for extra syrup, or prepare some hot sauce or something.

It very much has a speakeasy vibe. I got an espresso martini that's only $10 during happy hour. I believe happy hours from 5 PM to 7 PM. In addition to that they have food on happy hour. I opt it for one of the full priced menu items which was the shrimp hummus, and it was very light, flavorful, and the perfect bite. We also had some of the meatballs which were also delicious and served with perfectly toasted bread. I do like coming later in the evening when it's a little busier with more going on. Highly recommend this place for a date night or girls night out or any of the above.

Took my wife here for her birthday and overall we had a great experience. The food was amazing, and…read morethe drinks were really good too. The only disappointment was the seating. We had reservations early in the evening and were seated at a high-top table with stools, even though the restaurant was basically empty. From what I understand, reservations made through Yelp are automatically assigned to that table regardless of how much other seating is available. It was definitely a bummer, especially for a birthday dinner, and the stools became pretty uncomfortable as the evening went on. That said, the food and drinks were good enough that we'd absolutely give this place another try. Hopefully next time we can get a more comfortable table and leave talking about the food instead of our back pain
