    What a cute little place I never knew existed! In the back of this local liquor store is a nice patio with fireplaces and area to enjoy a cocktail and chat with friends. We came as a date night and the drinks were delicious and service was friendly. The weather was very nice and some people even had their fireplace on! Patio is only open at certain days/times so check ahead of

    What a quaint and wonderful store! Brea (hope I spelled that right) was AWESOME! He has a cool vibe and instantly made us feel welcomed. He was extremely helpful as well. There is a good selection of products and we quite pleased to find a particular beer we had been searching for. We checked out the unique bar area and totally look forward to going back when it's open! They do have a military discount. Highly recommend this business.

    Hidden gem located in Brandon, right next to a Publix. This outdoor space is everything I've been dreaming of/wanted in Florida since moving here. I moved from STL and this reminds me of the patios there, which is a great standard. Drinks are 10/10. I had the old fashioned (there are 200+ different whiskeys here) it's made with Elijah Craig, and it was fantastic. I then had the margarita which was made with fresh limes and it was also great. I finished off with a lager which I don't know the name of cuz I had the waiter surprise me and it was one of the best beers I've had in a while. I'd rate my experience a 10/10 overall. Atmosphere, drinks, service, ambiance, everything is what it needs to be here. I will definitely be coming here frequently. You should too!

    OK so I live in Brandon like 2 minutes from this place and I had no clue they had a Patio that has cocktails, beer, and more! It's hidden away behind the liquor store in a courtyard that is very reminiscent of Europe. The service was stellar and of course if you want to take some alcohol home, the store is right next door. I was impressed with my Old Fashioned ($10) and their selection of beers included a delicious Vanilla Stout that I ordered twice ($8 each). My guest enjoyed a Margarita ($12) with freshly squeezed juices, no sour mix crap. The vibe was very chill at the courtyard, plenty of shade and protected from most of Florida's elements, although you probably would have a hard time there on a summer stormy day, there was some covering from a balcony. The bar inside is even more quaint and very 1920s. I would totally chill in there and talk to the bartender pre-COVID days. It's still really great though, even if its just for a minute and I saw people in there having some fun. The crowd was older and more mature, which was enjoyable since I'm in my 30s now (lol). I'd go back and recommend you do! Hours change so check out their website for the latest and sometimes they do have events so be aware. I'll be back soon! We went ahead and purchased a bottle of Dos Hombres Mezcal on our way out because the price is the same as other liquor stores for it, so shop small always if possible!

    This is a really cool place with down to earth owners. The store offers a large variety of spirits and beverages. On Wednesday through Saturday they open their patio to customers for a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy tasty beverages. They allow you to bring in your own food as well. We've seen people bring in food from The local eatery near by. If you plan on going on Friday, get your food and get there early. This is a very popular place to hang out, listen to music and relax.

    Best outside whiskey bar in Florida. Incredible selection of bourbon and 1950s vibe!

    Located in the Winthrop Plaza in Riverview/ Brandon, I've purchased things from this hidden gem liquor store off and on throughout the years. This one is the only one that I've been to so far that has an in-store bar included. Walking in, this place looks like your typical local liquor store, but with nicer ceiling tiles due to their matching of shopping plaza's architectural theme. The selections are somewhat limited due to the tenant space size, but it serves it's purpose. They have a very knowledgeable staff when it comes to craft beer. They can give you stories/opinions up and down about most of the craft beer selections. They're also pretty good with their knowledge of wine too. They have a bar right next to it accessed via door would you lead you into a beautiful narrow indoor bar area which then leads through an exterior door into their side patio. This bar used to be open for their winetasting Wednesdays (Before the worldwide pandemic). There's a bar, however, has re-opened for Friday nights, and Saturday nights. If you purchase a bottle from their store, there is no corking fee if you choose to have a drink at their bar/bar patio area. It's worth a visit if you happened to be on this side of town and are looking for a low-key bar hang out for drinks with friends and/or significant other. Remember: wear your mask, practice social distancing, and wash your hands.

The ambiance is truly second to none. The staff is amazing. The selection is superb. Of course I had to get a brand specific stogie. Smoked a Grand Cathedral POPE.

It's big without feeling cold. Loud without being chaotic. The music? Think 70s and 80s, just loud enough to set the mood, but not so loud you're shouting over "Free Bird" like it's last call at a dive bar. You can actually have a conversation here. That alone is worth something. The bar is fully loaded, no shortcuts. Solid whiskey lineup, cocktails done right, and a humidor that feels like it goes on forever. Whether you know cigars or just want to look like you do, you're covered. But here's the part most places miss... The people. Staff that actually wants you there. They're dialed in, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and they treat you like a regular even if it's your first time walking through the door. And the crowd? Same vibe. Friendly, relaxed, no ego. It's not about the cigars. It's about the people. And somehow, this place gets both right

Order the smoking old fashioned. Its $20 but so worth the experience! My wife was in her glory with her pork steak and said the fries were the best shes ever had. I had the steak and gruyère sandwich that was generic and disappointing but hit the spot. And the service.... We were greeted by a really welcoming hostess (didn't get name but tall and blonde). She was fun and even took our water order and served it to us. Never seen that before and more places should do this. Our server Caleb is easily top 3 of the servers we have ever had. Friendly, joking and very accommodating. His recommendations were spot on and after finding out about my wife's drinks tastes gave her the perfect drink. We also have to mention Lucky. Never has a food runner left such a lasting impression that we needed to ask for his name to give him the recognition he rightfully deserves. And we may also add that this place was very busy and this dedicated service went against this. We are already planning out next trip back and bringing others with us! Water 8.5/10

I was a little nervous about trying to make a reservation for a group of 20, but they accommodated us with no issue and no strings attached. Our server was fantastic. I wish I could remember his name, but he took care of all of us by himself which if you've ever been a server, you know that is a pretty impressive thing! Everyone raved about their food stating how awesome it was and how they didn't know what to choose from the menu because everything sounded so good. When we were leaving, our server gave me a complimentary whiskey cake as a gift for my bachelorette party which was a really sweet gesture. If you are in the Tampa area, I can't recommend this place enough, between the service and the food you will not be disappointed!

    If you are in Ybor City and trying to enjoy yourself without lighting your wallet on fire, Barrio…read moreTacos is a very smart move. What I appreciated most is the build your own taco option, because it allows you to order exactly what you want without paying for a bunch of filler ingredients you were going to push to the side anyway. When you strip it down to the proteins and toppings you actually like, the cost savings are real. In a place like Ybor, where prices can creep up quickly, that matters. Now, the à la carte menu can feel a little confusing at first glance. It is not the most straightforward ordering system if you are just breezing through. But once someone walks you through it and you understand how to piece your order together, it becomes completely worth it. You end up with exactly what you want, and you are not overpaying for things you did not ask for. The vibe was great. The service was friendly and patient, which helps when you are trying to decode the menu. And the location is ideal. There is an outdoor patio with umbrellas on the sunny side of the street, which gives you options. You can sit in the sun if you want that warm Florida glow, or you can stay shaded if you are protecting your skin but still want to be outside watching the action unfold on the strip. And let's be honest, half the entertainment in Ybor is people watching. Add in the random roosters casually strolling around like they own the neighborhood, and you have a full show with your meal. I loved everything about this place and highly recommend it if you want to save a few bucks on food while still soaking up everything Ybor City has to offer. Good tacos, good vibes, good people watching. Hard to beat that combination.
