    I absolutely love this hometown local bar. The Local overs LOCAL brews as well as vodkas how Cool! The atmosphere is clean, with a pool table, dartboards, boardgames and the friendliest staff ever. Sherry is always so pleasant remembers your name and just makes it a special experience. They offer trivia/questionarre on Tuesdays too. This is a locals hangout with a dog friendly front patio area. Love the Local and I can't wait to return.

    Stopped in at O'Briens following our visit to La Vid Fine Wines & Vinoteca, which is just a block…read moreor two away in Carrollwood. Full disclosure: we came in for one thing and one thing only -- KARAOKE! We've heard stories about O'Briens karaoke and the singers it draws for years, so we couldn't pass up an opportunity to check it out. It did not disappoint! The only food I tried that night was their fries, which were very good. As for drinks, I stuck to Irish Whiskey, and they've got a very good selection. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, which is always impressive on popular karaoke nights when its loud and crowded -- kudos to the O'Briens staff for keeping it cozy and welcoming! Now, more about karaoke! They've got a spacious "stage" for performers and its a large enough space that singers with big voices don't have to worry too much about being too loud. Sound mix is well-balanced -- you can tell they've been doing this for a while. Pro tip: If you want to sing more than once, get there early! When I put my name in I had 17 singers ahead of me, if that tells you anything about how busy it gets. All in all, we had a great time, and the next time we're out in Carrollwood we'll likely be back!

    This is in the same strip mall as the more fancier Sacred Pepper. Didn't realize they had live…read moremusic until I found them on a Google search as one of the better ones in the Carrollwood area. Their website indicates they've been in business 24 years in Tampa! When we arrived at 7:05 pm the place was about 20% full so plenty of tables for the seat-yourself arrangement. We were surprised to see the music didn't start until 9. Went to 1am. They took a 30 minute break at 9:30 so we cashed out at that point. We started with overpriced soda at $3.50 that resulted in almost $5 for one glass when a 25% tip and tax were added. They have two types of ciders, both excellent qualities with Strongbow and the Irish brand Magners. Prices were fair. Food: I tried their Emerald Isle sandwich, which was excellent with lots of flavor. Rate it 4.5/5. It was supposed to come with a pickle spear but I don't remember there being one. Wondered why they didn't adjust the price since they charged extra for sauce as covered below. The fries were thick and rate them 3/5. My friend got the Murphy's chicken sandwich. This comes with bacon and Swiss cheese; plus fries. Also good with nice flavor. 4/5 Service: Above average. The ladies were hustling and smiling as they took care of the growing requests as the place filled to capacity. Our server was always present and easy to flag down when needed. This justified the 25% tip, so nice job. Parking: plenty in the large lot. Forgot to show our server the Yelp check-in to get $5 off. Only complaints: 1) they charged extra for BBQ sauce. Not only did they not tell us about the up charge but it was a small quantity that should be the same treatment as ketchup or mayo. Furthermore we held the lettuce and tomatoes, so why not be okay with a substitute sauce? 2) While cleaning the table next to us they knocked the bottle of ketchup on the floor where it sat for about ten minutes. When the server picked it up she set it right back on the table without cleaning it. Hmmmm

    A sold Italian franchise with some hidden gems!…read more Our party was impressed with the carbonara pizza and the Pizza alone was a 5 star!! If your dinning in make sure you snag a pie for the table. And DO NOT forget the Cesar salad! It was fresh, crispy and the dressing was delicious. As for the entrees the short rib on top creamy polenta was a great paring. Can never go wrong with a classic chicken parm and the portion was generous. If you love a savory sweet hit that truffle honey tortellini it was a notable dish. We were bummed by the Cacio Pepe unfortunately but the rest of the spread made up for it. Service was great and atmosphere was busy but didn't feel as loud as it would appear to have a nice conversation over dinner. Looking for and to coming back for more of that pie and salad combo!

    Was anxiously awaiting the opening of this restaurant. As they are associated with Coopers Hawk,…read morewas expecting excellent food and service. I have driven by a few time and always looks busy, so thought it would be good. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the food. Sat at the bar and ordered one of the house old fashions, which was excellent. Since they are promoting their pizza so much, I thought it would be good as well. I was wrong. Ordered a Fungo pizza, one of the standards on the menu, which had wild mushrooms, black garlic, Parmesan fonduta, basil, and white truffle oil. Sounded great, but I got a pizza with 2 inches of crust and a tiny bit of toppings. (see pic) Taste was good but it was mostly dough. For the price of $18, I was extremely disappointed. My wife ordered the Calabrian Chili Shrimp Pasta and it was also disappointing. $25 for a small plate of undercooked boxed pasta with 6 med shrimp was not a good value. In addition, the time to get our food was longer than expected. I know the restaurant recently opened, but being a Coopers Hawk restaurant, they should have their act together. Low value, long wait times and mediocre food prevent me recommending this restaurant. Hopefully they work out the bugs soon. However, I do recommend going to the bar for an excellent cocktail.
