    Okay, so, I loved the SpookEasy, but the bar downstairs, they need to get rid of the terrible leprechaun bartender. My girlfriend and I were in town for a show and I was looking forwarding to continuing to have a good time, but when we made it downstairs, unbeknownst to us, it is EXTREMELY frowned upon to have your own water bottle. Literally laughing out loud as I write this review. So myself and my friend, both (almost) 40 year old women, walk up to the bar to check out the menu. The bartender walks up to us and gets instantly pissed that my friend was holding a water bottle from our hotel room. He proceeds to put a can of Liquid Death on the bar and open it. In my mind, I'm like, ohh, how sweet! Well he must have said something as he did that about how you can't have outside 'drinks'. My friend naively starts chugging the water to get rid of it. The bartender almost jumps from behind the bar to escort us out. Meanwhile, I'm just like wtf happened?! As we try to ask him, he was extremely rude and proceeded to treat us like criminals and kicked us out. Walking away, we were more confused than anything. It's so unfortunate because we were ready to buy drinks and have a good time. What a crappy ending to our night.

    This place is worth a visit just based on the unique vibes. We had already been drinking that day so we didn't get to try the kava. They seemed to have a minimal selection of actual alcohol. My husband and I had different types of sangria. He said they used almost every bottle behind the bar to make them. His was gross and tasted like punch from a cheap fraternity. I had the red one and I thought it was fine. The entrance and the bathrooms are pretty run down but I still recommend you stop in and check this place out. All the staff were very nice too.

    A unique, one of a kind cafe/tea house/lounge/bar that is not to be missed in Tampa. As the name suggests, the decor is incredibly spooky, featuring scary statues, pictures that change on the walls, and furniture that looks like it all belongs in a haunted house...all located in renovated former Baptist church. But other than being one scary venue, Spookeasy has food and drinks that are worth hanging around for while you take in the spookiness of the place. A full coffee bar, they already have my name on it, but they also feature sandwiches, snacks, salads, and other bar food. While I came here for a Death Cafe event, I decided to make myself comfortable by getting myself some food and lattes. Thankfully, the place serves up food that makes a visit here worth more than just a quick look around. I got myself a hot marshmallow flavored latte, and a breakfast sandwich. The latte was delicious, and I loved the marshmallow flavor I got with it to give it a more unique taste perfect for winter. It gave me just the right kick while I waited for my event to start. The breakfast sandwich seems simple enough, bacon, eggs, cheese on toast, but each ingredient was thoughtfully prepared to make one filling meal. I can tell the egg is fresh cracked and the bacon was perfectly crispy, all held together by two slices of thick toast. I also loved the fries that came with it, well seasoned with cheese sauce AND melted cheese, so I was pretty occupied and well fed during my meeting. The staff here is great, laid back, and super-friendly to talk to. They have a good vibe about them that makes me want to come back to haunt--er visit them, haha, Death Cafe meeting or not.

    This place was so cool. The theming was phenomenal! Hanging out there really gives you the spooky vibes. Will be going back next time I'm in town. My only issue was the cocktails weren't that good. Cheap ingredients and some odd combinations.

    Came here on a Sunday just to check it out. Had I known this was right next to the Castle, I would've used this as a little pregame spot. Aesthetic is super cool if you're into horror movie/spooky vibes. I ordered a beer but my friends got different drinks which were pretty good. Can't really judge the service too well since it was a Sunday and there were only a few people inside but we got our drinks quickly. Definitely recommend this place as a cool pregame spot for the Castle, Friday/Saturday are definitely the days to slide here.

    Love this place and have only gone twice! Anytime i think of visiting ybor I always think of going here. The bartenders are amazing and the whole place is filled to the roof with horror and gothic decor. Thrones and skeleton chandeliers along with spooky cups and drinks to match. They do movie nights which we only got to see a bit of but it was a fun place to hang. I got the chicken sandwich which was delicious.

    Cava drink for under 21
    Shelby F.

    Best lounge area ever! Friendly for those under 21 as well. Food- The upstairs area is where the 18+ can hang out and order food and cava drinks. No alcohol! The downstairs is where the 21+ hang out where alcoholic beverages are available. The food and drinks are fair price. We had the tenders and they were great. I ordered a cava drink when I first went (I was 20) and they were great. It came in a cute skull glass and I ended up having 3. When I came back for the catacombs (finally 21!) I had the rocket pop and it was amazing. Service- Everyone is so sweet and cool. When we first arrived the bouncers are nice and do their ID checks. If you're 21+ you get a wrist band but under 21 gets the magical Xs on your hands and guided to the upstairs area. The tenders upstairs are amazing, they explain the drink menus and I remember talking to one of them about tattoos. The bartenders in the catacombs are awesome amazing. One of them explained the rocket pop and guided us through a memorizing tour. He explained the origins of the Rocket Pop drink and the different layers. Ambience- you first enter this lounge, the music has you tapping your feet, shaking your head to the beat. The decor catches your eyes, as you go upstairs and see the giant statues and amazing furniture. You sit down and take a few sips of your cava and feel no need to get up for a while, while you hang out with your buddies. The lighting is soft not too dark not too bright. The catacombs call your name, you go down 2 flights and you're surrounded by more beautiful decor, it fits the alternative vibe. There's a DJ area where you can make song requests. There's also a corner booth by a big projector, where you get to listen to the songs you love while watching the music video. We will be back

    Went up stairs and it's beautifully decorated. The women at the bar said that if we drink we shouldn't drink Kava as well so we just looked and then went downstairs. Downstairs is a 5$ cover fee which is no problem for all night entry. The man has made a comment on my friends chest size saying it " could knock him into the wall with those" very inappropriate but we let it slide. I got one drink I think vampires kiss and it was great and the ambience is gothic with a dj that night and I loved the music. We never come to the ybor area so first time out, in Saint Pete bars you can go in the restroom with multiple people ( unless stated) We didn't see a sign and there wasn't someone to guard the bathrooms. My one friend had finished and the other was still seated and I had my skirt on backwards and wanted to fix it. In the midst of almost being done and coming out a man who I didn't see at the bar or the door just came yelling at us the get out of the bathroom. My friend who was finished exited to tell him we were just pulling up our pants and we'd be right out. He kept yelling and trying to push past my friend to open the door as I'm frantically zipping my skirt quickly and she's fixing her tights. ( our outfits were a bit more elaborate than usual and mind we were only In there for maybe 5 mins before he burst in) It escalated very quickly to him yelling at us to get "$&@#" out of the bar. The door man then accompanied him in calling us obscenities and yelling. He accused us of doing coke and called us many names after we tried to explain why we couldn't all just step out of the bathroom when he first asked. First and last time back. We also were there for a birthday and had a large group of 12 people and had been there for hours before hand. They were regulars to the establishment as well.

    The service is always top notch here- I love that it's all ages until 6pm during the week and has awesome themed events like game night and karaoke. The food is fine- they're continually updating their menu and have lots of options for a variety of tastes. Definitely one of my favorite places in Tampa.

    I discovered this place while watching a YouTube channel. My wife and I were intrigued, so we decided to check it out. There's limited street parking available, along with public parking directly across the street. Additionally, a parking garage is located just two blocks away. The atmosphere here is haunting and Gothic, almost reminiscent of a spooky museum. It's definitely a spot where you'll want to snap plenty of photos. Upon entering, you'll notice both an upstairs and a downstairs. The upstairs area appears to have much more to see compared to downstairs. They offer a variety of board games for entertainment that you can enjoy while you're there. I ordered a taco salad, and I can honestly say it was fantastic; I really enjoyed it. My wife opted for a Love Potion cocktail, which was also quite good. The staff is friendly and welcoming. While we were there, they had some sort of drawing class happening, with a few ladies posing for the artists. Initially, we were uncertain about this place, and to be honest, my wife had her doubts, so we almost didn't go in. But I'm so glad we did! We will likely add this place to our list of go-to spots for relaxing, grabbing a bite, enjoying a drink, and playing some tabletop games.

    Decor is beautiful and amazing. Chairs were comfy. Service was quite slow on a weekday night and it was difficult to find somewhere to sit as it's very limited. Most the drinks are 21+ but doesn't give a clear reason why. For those who can't imbibe anything drug-related even if legal, this made me feel uncomfortable to try anything. If the menu was updated I would definitely come back when it's not busy.

    Halloween themed kava kratam bar. They have alcohol after 7. My friend got a kratam based drink served in a skull glass. I got the also have herbal teas. I tried the their iced milk thai tea. Really glad they have milk options- i got oat milk. Great flavors and served in a tiki glass. The bar tender was very knowledgeable and was able to make great suggestions for what we would both like.

    SpookEasy is a neat spot for niche clientele. We walked by and wanted to check it out so we paid $10 cover to enter both portions of the venue which was a cava bar with no alcohol and then downstairs was a traditional bar. Both areas were very well decorated, going with the "spooky" theme. I think I enjoyed the Cava bar upstairs more, the decor was on another level compared to downstairs. We had a quick drink and moved on but it was a neat little spot to visit!

    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!!!

Locating this establishment was pretty easy. Parking was easier !! I located a space directly in front of the place. They also have parking lots every 1-2 blocks. Anyhoo, we had a 45 minute wait; cool. We sat in the car and people watched until it was our time to shine. Finally it was. Whew the entrance was nice. 1 way in and 1 way out of here !! We were taken to a table near the back. This place was very nicely decorated. We were assisted by Breanna who was pretty awesome and helped us pick our beverages of the evening. GREAT CHOICES!! We ordered... Nui Nui Pandan Killer Gochujang Glazed Wings Everything was well crafted The beverages were a great size, well priced, and well concocted. The wings were fresh and a great portion size for hubby and I to share. We had a fantastic time visiting this speakeasy and it's highly recommended !!

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.

    Located inside the Floridian Palace historic hotel in downtown Tampa. This hotel bar serves food!…read moreWe started with drinks and our server seemed to be running the whole place from bar to tables and back. At first it wasn't noticeable because there were only about 2 tables when we arrived but as the night progressed and the bar got busier, we had to wait for extended amounts of time for her to return to our table. We shared the truffle tots as an appetizer and they were delicious and perfect fried. I got the chicken Cesar wrap for my meal. Overall it was good, nothing special and honestly it was pretty bizarre to have croutons in a wrap. The fries were good but nothing beat those tots. We had a credit from The hotel to dine and our waitress once she learned this got immediately defensive and basically told us in many ways that we were lying and couldn't use the credit. After much back & forth with her she finally got in touch with management and changed her tune when she returned to our table to tell us she was mistaken and it was taken care of. Definitely not appropriate customer service at all on her part. We paid the reminder of our checks, tipped on the total minus our credit and couldn't get out of there fast enough.
