Back to back business meeting and again amazing food!…read more No drinks this time but I'd did notice a few more cider options this time around. So maybe next time! Ordered the smoked meat loaf and this was amazing! The corn was flavorful with a light charred to them, mashed potatoes were creamy and soft. But the meat loaf was fantastic, light and fluffy with a very unique sauce. The second day had the smoked wings and all the same! Great flavor, great size but the ranch was something different? It was really good and I might need to get a side salad next time with that on top of it. Super light but great flavor. But still great service and food all the same! Some of our business partners went a few more times for drinks afterwards.

You place your drink and food order at the bar. They give you your drink and then deliver the food to your table. I settled on the German beer, whose name I can't remember, but I wasn't thrilled with it. For food, I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with a side of the beer cheese Mac and cheese. Food arrived and it looked great. The sandwich was freshly made and it was good. The Mac and cheese was amazingly good.

Skip the 1905 salad and come here instead! Delicious, fresh, chopped and tossed! One of my most favorite things I had on this vacation! Devin was our bartender on this visit; great singing voice and chill vibe! Fun drink menu, full bar and great beers, obviously! This is a must when in Ybor!

We sampled the local Reef Donkey brew, which definitely lived up to the hype--smooth, flavorful, and well balanced. A great choice if you're new to their beer lineup. We started with the hot pretzel served with queso and mustard. It came out warm, soft, and perfectly salted--ideal for sharing and easily one of the highlights of the visit. The pizza was generously topped and very cheesy, which we appreciated, though the quality of the sausage could use some improvement to better match the rest of the ingredients. We also tried the hot chicken tenders with hot honey drizzle. Flavor-wise, they were decent, but the portion size felt closer to boneless wings than tenders. The fries were hot and crispy, but overall the chicken itself could benefit from a crispier exterior. Worth noting for future guests: the Red Eye cider buffalo sauce comes with a $1 upcharge. Overall, this is a fun spot with a strong beer program and solid starters. Hoping to return in about six months to see improvements and refinements to the food offerings, as the potential here is definitely there.

I have passes Bad Monkey on the strip in Ybor every time I have been in Ybor. I finally stopped because I was having trouble finding a place to watch football. Bad Monke to the rescue.

They have frito pie which is my absolute favorite bar food option. Finally, when I started looking around, the decor reminded me of a gentleman's club which made me wonder what goes on here at night.

I grabbed a Big Pluckin' Pils, a German pilsner that had a nice hop bite with a bit of bitterness, but still light and super refreshing, perfect for a warm afternoon.

It sits just far enough from the heart of Ybor that the Cuban influence fades, and that's perfectly fine because this place leans fully into being a beer bar with food that matches the mood. I went straight for their Number 1, the Big Pluckin' Pils. If we had stayed for a second round, the Bublina, billed as the Best Czech Pilsner in the World, would have been next. Their board covers a wide range, from lagers and IPAs to Hefeweizen, porters and other malt‑forward brews, so it's easy to find something that fits your taste. With German‑style beer, a Bavarian pretzel feels required, and ours arrived piping hot from the oven with two mustards. The honey mustard was excellent, but the spicy mustard was the one that cleared sinuses. Pain, but the good kind, and absolutely delicious. BarrieHaus is a friendly, easygoing beer bar and we had a great stop here. My only disappointment was discovering that the adorable stuffed pretzel decorations aren't for sale. Someone could make a little side business out of those. [Review 40 of 2026 - 2225 in Florida - 25231 overall]

If you are a beer drinker, this definitely is the spot for you as they have a plethora of craft beers both on draught and in bottles. We don't drink but did enjoy a craft root beer from Abita that was quite good! Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was very pleasant and swift. I had the fish tacos which were really nice and were served with tortilla chips and a side of salsa. Pretty good lunch fare but if I ordered this for dinner, a third taco would have done the trick. The bathroom was another story. It was fifty and the odor was rough and the toilet was actually missing the top of it. It was the kind of spot that would make the heartiest of sailors blush. Would definitely check out this spot again for a good, quick bite.
