Great place to hang out with friends! It's conveniently located in downtown Tarpon. The parking spots can be difficult to find, you just have to circle around a bitand park on side streets. We love coming for the specials, especially the $12 smash burger on Wed. Their outdoor area is great, though the inside is pretty spacious too. Very chill atmosphere. read more

Erin H was super rude. Not friendly whatsoever. Wanted to decline my service animal into her establishment and he had a service vest on. We were standing in the bar with my service animal and the staff brought out multiple bar stools from outside (because it was cold) for other patrons. Not once did they offer my husband and I seat.....oh wait, yes they did, once they saw we were ready to leave. This place is not accommodating for service animals. What a shame read more

This was by far our favorite brewery in Tarpon Springs on our vacation! Their IPAs were juicy & yummy! The food was BOMB!! We loved the outdoor seating & stage area for the band! Even had a little grass area where you could bring kiddos or pups to play! We also got some T-Shirts, hats, & pint glasses to take home that are our fav! Can't wait to go back! read more

We went with my father in law when he came because he loves breweries. I don't drink so I can't say much about the beer but from what they said, it's good! I just loved the atmosphere and service. The beer garden was so cute and such a lovely place to relax! I would definitely recommend. And their boiled peanuts are amazing!! read more

Great outdoor area. Has the feel in a friends backyard. I am not a beer drinker but they have good quality wine selection. Live music

I really like this brewery which is in a bikable spot. The service is good and the inside is cool, but the backyard is way cooler, with its ample shades seating and stage. I haven't eaten there yet, but will soon! For now, I recommend it based on ambience, service, and brews! read more

What a great experience we had! It's mainly outdoor seating and there is a huge play area for kids and a stage for bands. You order and pay from a QR code on your table, then they bring the food to your table. You have to walk up to the bar to order your drinks separately. Neat concept! Our server was very friendly. The food came out really quick and was very good but burgers a bit on the dry side. We got the Brie app- could have been more melty. Then we split the smash burger and brewsky burger. We preferred the Brewsky. Daughter got the Nashville Hot sliders and it was good portions. Their red ale beer was fantastic. read more

Unless you want to be accosted by peoples screaming kids on your Friday night, this isn't the place for you. When I think of a brewery or going out for drinks I don't think about hanging out with families. Kids everywhere! With that being said, it was pretty packed with a live singer out back where most of the kids were. The food is pretty good and they have an ok selection of beer. Another thing to be aware of is how early they close. 10pm on a Friday with everybody being gone by 9:30 Food - I had the brewsky burger with mushrooms, onions, and beer cheese on a brioche bun which was really good. And a beer flight but no German beer as their paper menu had. It was just ok a bit pricey at $15 for 4 read more

Most amazing smash burger and pretzels ever Staff is friendly and attention Recommended for everyone in the area

Excellent brewery just off of the main strip in Tarpon Springs. This place is truly one of the better breweries in the area because of four things they do really well. What are those things? Well hang on...and keep reading! imma tell ya! First---beer. They have a yuge selection of beers. Wide variety, and they are constantly brewing new ones to take place of the old ones. Guest taps, too! Graciously offering sample tastes to make sure you get what you like...nothing worst than getting a pint of a brew ya just don't like. Second---FOOD. I think every good brewery needs good foods...and man they do it will. We've had burgers, we have boneless wings, waffle fries, grilled portobellos, etc. EVERYTHING was delish. idk what kinda magic theyre brewing up in the back...but its working!! Third--atmosphere. The inside is cozy, but comfy in case our awesome florida weather is taking a day off. For those perfect sunny FL days, the outdoor beer garden is one of the best. AMPLE seating all around, lawn games, and a truly ingenious stage made of a storage container that has a fold down deck. Super cool....and they usually have some really talented musicians for just the right ambiance. Fourth--and not last---STAFF. From the GM, to the brewers, to the servers....these are some of the best. They're friendly, attentive, make great suggestions, and always on point. This can make or break a place...and for Sponge City....they're doing our town proud. If you have only time for ONE brewery to hit in Tarpon Springs....STOP HERE. You will NOT be disappointed. Daily specials Tue-Thur where they have tacos, burgers or boneless wings (depending on the day)...so many reason to come here, if you don't, you must struggle with the English language. Get an interpreter...and GET HERE!! read more

First and foremost...Sponge City Brewing has a very nice variety of beers and they are EXCELLENT. My favorite was the "Chocolate, Orange" porter, Campfire Songs. My wife who is a huge IPA fan absolutely LOVED the "RYE,RYE,RYE,RYE,RYE,RYE IPA". Norman the brew master was behind the bar as well and overheard me talking about my desire for dark beers and gave me a nice sample of their newly brewed stout. GREAT! Caitlyn the bartender was EXTREMELY nice and welcoming. She took great care of us. The vibe is very nice. Whether inside or outside their was just a nice, relaxing ambiance on a beautiful sunny Florida day. Plenty of tables with some green space and a few outdoor games for some fun as well as very conducive for children. Not too many breweries around have their own kitchen, Sponge City does and it too is EXCELLENT. We were there on a Thursday. As of this review, Thursdays is a $12 special for their boneless wings over waffle fries AND a beer! You can't beat that. Especially considering that the wings and waffles were VERY GOOD and large enough to share for two if needed. Bottom line, one of the newer & nicer breweries in the area that you ABSOLUTELY must try. DO NOT pass this one by, either on Alt.19 or even going on the Pinellas bike trail, just a block away. read more

I passed this place various times, only passed it up because of the limited parking. Finally stopped in and it was so good! There's a few tables inside, mainly set up for the outside. Instead of menus, they have QR codes you scan with your phone to view it. There was a band playing when we went. The service is very fast. read more

Wanted to try a local brewery and this was a great little find. We stopped in on a chilly thursday night and had some great beers and food. I had a couple of Phillips 66 and Mom had the Deez Beez. All very good. Was also pleasantly surprised on the food front, i had the brewery burger and i loved it. Definitely looking forward to coming back. They looked like they had a great outdoor area that would be fun. The staff behind the bar were great, very welcoming and helpful in selecting the beers. read more

Opening weekend! Crazy busy and good for them. It was a full patio out front and in the back when we got there, not to mention a full bar and only one table left open. Just starting, they had 5 of their own brews on tap, and the rest are guest taps, which some were already kicked. Talking to the beertender sounds like a successful Friday night. They do offer food that you can order right from your phone, but we didn't partake in with this visit. Can't wait to see what is up next and wish them the best of luck! read more

Very friendly staff and excellent beverage choices. The inside seating is limited but there is ample outdoor spaces. They have food specials which vary depending on the day of the week. We had the buffalo chicken wings at a ver reasonable price. It included one locally served brew for less than $12. The wings were excellent. read more

Limited menu but they have mastered each item to perfection. Just love the outdoor live music and it's great for young families w/kids. Kids can run around and play different games. Service is good. You order off a table app. I do wish I could choose between ordering from a server vs. app. read more

Super cool atmosphere- went here on a nice day and the courtyard was amazing. Picnic tables covered with umbrellas. Games. Grassy area. Kid friendly brewery. The bratwurst was amazing. Recommend beer cheese anything. Fries were good too. Good beer. read more

Hate the concept of ordering yourself going to get your own drinks and them still wanting a tip, BUT the burger was excellent.

The food and service were great at this place. We found this place while we visited for the first time with my family in Tarpon Springs. We loved the outdoor area where you can bring pet with you. They have big area to play, but they need to be leashed. They also had a singer playing his instrument during our visit. It was great and I would definitely come back and visit again. Okay I nearly forgot, they have good selection of beer. read more

Service was horrible. After sitting outside there is a QR code to order food. It defaults to a 20% tip before you get served. There are other tipping options, but you think you would get good service with a place with good reviews. There aren't drink or water options in the app. You have to walk to the bar to order and get your beverage. Then your food is brought to your table. The baked Bree appetizer was undercooked and not spreadable, the crackers were ritz. The burger was very thin and well done. I had to pay $3 for waffle fries or eat ruffles chips. Paid $19.00 and food was mediocre. Then, when my friend and I were leaving the metal tray that the food was being carried in was slippery, and her food fell off. Wasting the half of her taco lunch. She eats smaller frequent meals and had to pickup and throw away the dropped food herself. They were able to bring us our food but no one checks on you and no one brings you to go containers. She was only walking to the bar to get a to go container. Not going back! read more

Food was ok, beer was ok. You order beer at the bar and order food from a qr code on the table. The bartenders were nice. I got the beer brat. It was ok, but not as good as I would expect. My wife got the chicken tenders and waffle fries. It came with a sweet Asian sauce that's available at Publix. Atmosphere was an indoor/outdoor feel. Not bad, not great. There are better food and much better beer at other nearby breweries. read more

Beers were good! Several beer options as well, along with sangria and other drinks. You order beer up at the bar and then barcode order food at the table. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sliders--I was really hungry so I ate the whole thing, but it was just ok. Mine just tasted like plain chicken with some reds hot sauce on it. The brewery itself is nice. They have a stage and some live music was starting right as I left. There's turf off to one side that's for kids to play on. Lots of families with small kids. They had some games for the kids too. Dog friendly as well. read more
