    They only serve beer and wine. They ah e some game tables and a Julie box that when you put money in it they make sure ur songs don't play idk how but they would go on a app and change the music and not let the music I spent money to play.....

    I went to Tiny Tap with some friends and it was a fun dive bar! They even had free BBQ while we were there. It is a smaller bar so there isn't a lot of seating and can get crowded fast. The prices were decent too!

    The "Tiny Tap Tavern" is a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite bar. A small bar with a local customer base, is the oldest bar in Tampa, Florida, & has been serving up smiles since 1934. The floor shows the wear of ages & makes me smiles knowing people have pARTy'd here before me. Plenty of bar flair to add to the atmosphere. Pool tables, darts & foosball available for entertainment. My bartender "Michelle" served a smile with every beer. By the way the "Tiny Tap Tavern" is ONLY a beer bar ... serving 12oz, 20oz & 24oz drafts, as well as tall boy PBR's and a variety of other beers in bottles & cans.. The "Tiny Tap Tavern" is a smoking bar. I am not a smoker myself, but from experience, smokers have always proven to be more fun than non-smokers - better stories & laugh more. FREE off-street parking is a plus. Dice playing is popular, and I was taught "6-5-4", "Tally-Ho" & "3's". Customers "Macho", "Kyle", "Rick" & "Diana" made me feel at home in their village. The "Tiny Tap Tavern" is my personal "must-stop" bar when in Tampa - not sterile or touristy like many bars in the area. "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! 11.11.19

    Yep - this is pretty much the size of it.

    Cheap beer, cheap pool, cheap darts, smoke-filled, dust-covered, update-challenged (except the TVs). Bring your cash (preferably some in quarters), and you can enjoy a long, fun-filled night of drinking and shooting the breeze with buddies. If you see the exterior and aren't dissuaded, odds are you're going to like the Tiny Tap very much. Oh, and bathroom's out back, Holmes.

I just wish the happy hour selection was better and quite small, but the $12 burger and beer deal is great. Expanding the happy hour menu could bring in more business earlier and create a more lively atmosphere before the evening rush. Definitely a solid spot with room to improve.

    Lunch with friends at this cute restaurant was lovely. We were going to sit outside, as they have…read moreseveral tables, but it was just too chilly so we ate indoors instead. We were seated at the corner table so we were able to people watch. Our server, Brianna, was super nice and very attentive. I never had to ask her for a refill on my Coke Zero; she just kept them coming! We started with some shareables for the table. Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts which were done just right. We also ordered a half cheese, half pepperoni pizza to share. I've never had a "Columbus-style" pizza before. If you're wondering, the crust is somewhat thinner than most pizzas, but not a thin-crust pizza. The toppings are spread all throughout the pizza to the edge, and then cut it in squares (Tavern style). It was very tasty, with a slightly sweet note. My hubby and I ordered the Cobb Salad (without bacon) which was delicious. I really liked the onions on it. It was very fresh and they served a generous portion. Hubby ate the whole thing, but I had the rest of mine for dinner. So good! Two of our friends ordered the Truffle Mushroom Smash Burger and they loved them. I tried my buddy's tater tots, which he ordered with his French Dip. They were nice and crispy, but could have used some kind of flavoring, like Parmesan or truffle. Doesn't mean I didn't eat them all! LOL. The restaurant looks small when you enter, but in addition to the front dining area and bar, it has two additional dining areas, as you walk towards the back, and another bar. If you find yourself in the Channelside area, you should definitely try out Small Giant.

It's that crisp on the outside that I love. I get it without the tomatoes and no mayo. Next time I'll ask for no crispies as well. I like it just it plain, perfect amount of salty is just my favorite. This place is the best place for Brussel sprouts. I also like to get the breaded cod here I've never had it better anywhere. It tastes & looks like real fresh cod. It is not shiny or glossy like frozen cod. This is the real deal fresh breaded cod. This is a real legit British food. The service is spectacular especially for a downtown bar. This restaurant is very clean. All the staff are just super friendly and they don't rush you at all. Just very sweet wholesome people staffed here. The food here is way better than Yard House 10 out of 10. However, Yard House does have the best onion rings. That's the only thing that I get there with the beer cheese cause that's the only thing that's good there. The only thing I like at Yard House are the onion rings other than that I think the rest of the food is worse than going to Chili's. Yeoman's also has TV screens and the people that come here are not as sleazy as the ones that go to Yard House. Very different clientele thank goodness. This place does not give me the heebie-jeebies when I come in here. The men here are normal and they don't flock the girls like they do at Yard House ICK. Thank goodness for a wholesome sports bar like Yeoman's!!

I enjoyed the food. Drinks...meh....not impressed. I'm very surprised being under the same entity as Morgan's Cove, that the beverage consistency was NOT the same, which I can't understand. The establishment as a whole is REALLY impressive! They have pool tables, arcades, digital golf and more. It would be a great spot to kick it if you had a large group of people. Service was average. Take your order, bring you your items, then on to the next person. I made it clear that I wasn't happy with the drinks and was suggested to try a different one, which I also didn't like. There was no discount, or removal offered for the items on my bill that I KINDLY explained that I didn't enjoy (nor that looking for) the offer would have been appreciated. All-In-All this is a rare place, where I won't come back to...at least this portion of the entity. My advice...consistency is the key for one entity. My first 3 Stars!

Needing something to eat since it was late, we checked this place out. Anchor & Brine is located in the lobby of the JW Marriot Waterside Hotel. It is a great option for guests staying there or people looking for a nice place to eat near Water Street. The menu isn't huge and consists of a small variety of small plates, seafood, entrees, and sushi. This was a perfect spot for us as we were only looking for some appetizers to split between us. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, we ended up sitting inside because we didn't want to wait for a table outside. The service was great and our server Castle did a wonderful job taking care of us. He checking in on us frequently and was very accommodating. For the food, we ordered an Angry Tuna roll (sans the avocado), the Mushroom Flatbread, and Fried Calamari. All of our plates came out in a timely manner and were made to order. The sushi came out first and I was genuinely blown away with how good it was. The angry tuna roll had spicy tuna, cucumber, avocado, tempura, spicy mayo, fresno chili, scallions, and tobiko. I wasn't expecting a hotel restaurant to serve sushi with fish this fresh, but man I was impressed. The roll was pretty large with ample amounts of tuna. Everything was very balanced and I really appreciated the rice to fish to toppings ratio. I would highly, recommend ordering sushi here! The Mushroom Flatbread and calamari were served together and again, I was very impressed with just how flavorful these were. The Mushroom flatbread consisted of caramelized onions, arugula, garlic crema, truffle oil, balsamic reduction, parmesan, and goat cheese. This was perfect for sharing, was light, and just fabulous all around. All the flavor components stood out and there was a perfect ratio of each. Really loved this as well and would also recommend. The calamari was just as good as the other two items were ordered---if not better. The calamari was served with aji amarillo aioli, pickled chilis, shishito peppers, and grilled lemon. This was hands down some of the best calamari I've had. Breaded to perfection, the calamari was crisp and wasn't too chewy or soggy. The peppers, aioli, and lemon added some tang and zest to the dish. Really, really good and the perfect size for sharing. Overall, Anchor & Brine exceeded my expectations. I went in thinking it would just be a standard hotel restaurant and left more than satisfied with my experience. Starting with the service, Castle did such a great job with our table. Everyone is super accommodating and does a nice job checking in on tables, refilling drinks, and picking up finished plates. The food was the best part though! Everything we ordered was just phenomenal! The sushi is a must as the quality of the fish is great. The flatbread and calamari are perfect for sharing and won't leave you disappointed either! I would definitely eat here again without any hesitations. It's a great spot if you are staying here or just nearby!
