    Chicken artichoke flatbread
    Charreé G.

    Came to watch a Florida State Game on a Saturday! This place is much larger inside than I anticipated. Plenty of seating and standing space. Love the big screen TV on the back wall to watch big games. Fun atmosphere overall. Typical bar food the artichoke chicken flatbread was pretty tasty though. Good spot if you're looking for a place to watch the big game!

    SOHO Fuego menu. The quesadilla with steak is on point!
    Giga S.

    I've been living on the next corner of this place and it's great to report: Bar Hwrd got it right. Cool parks & recs type during the day, club at night, even brunch on Sunday. This place has no kitchen, the tasty creations come from the food truck in the back. "SOHO Fuego" has a mean steak quesadilla. Of course: I ate it with my pinky up-it would've been rude no to.

    Great vibes, the staff is fantastic. They have 50 cents wings everyday. Usually go for the wings and the vibes. Definitely recommend this place to watch some Bucs football as well.

    Soap in our food
    Joseph S.

    So here's the deal. They have all these "snow" blowers but it's really just soap and it constantly gets in your food and drinks. I asked the bar tender if there's a way to stop it and she said ask the bouncer. I asked the bouncer and he said and I quote "I hate those damn things". But he didn't do anything about it. Then a waiter came over and I told him about it and he said "oh I can get the manager he will be over in 2 min". Then 20 min later when the waiter came back I asked when the manager would be over and he said "why would he come over here" and I said because of the foam. It was a whole thing but all in all if you go there during winter be ready for soap in you drinks and food constantly. There's no way to get away from the soap and it disgusting. I'm also really upset I was told the manager was coming over but then when he never showed up I asked when he would be there and I was made to look like an idiot. I'm still waiting for the manager till this day but I doubt he will ever get to me.

Definitely opt for this app! - Grilled Honeynut Squash ($29): what a delightful surprise! The flavors were sweet but savory and the yuzu cranberry paired so well with the garlic tahini. The Brussels were out of this world, I could have used more of those! The only miss on the dish was the onion pakora- I loved the onion outside layer but the inside was too dense and didn't taste very good. Everything else on the dish was fantastic and a good portion - Hat Yai Fried Chicken ($42): this was tasty with the purple rice and papaya atchara to give it a nice crunch and texture. I only had a couple bites as this was my boyfriend's dish but he enjoyed it!

Not only the drinks are phenomenal, but the food is absolutely amazing. The hubs really likes the brussels sprouts here. I think they are too wet. I wouldn't order them myself. I normally like them crispy on the outside and moist in the middle and not wet. It was a weird sauce almost like Cajun, which is unusual for brussels sprouts. I still think Yeoman's has the best Brussels sprouts in the area. The onion rings here are the absolute best. The breading is flat and smooth, and the onions are thick. Places that make the crispy bumpy batter usually scratch my throat being so crispy however, the onion rings here are flat and smooth, and that doesn't happen. I like to order it with a side of beer cheese dipping sauce; it is absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend ordering a side of beer cheese dipping sauce. The drinks here are so strong. I was only able to get one since it was so strong. They are just too strong for me but very delicious. The hubs likes all of the drinks here he's tried them all. I ordered the espresso reposado martini, and I explained it to the server that I didn't want it sweet and he had a smarta$$ remark. I never saw him again after that drink hopefully, I never get that server again. He was ridiculous. The remainder of the service is absolutely incredible. Everyone is super sweet that we ordered food & rest of our drinks from. They must really enjoy their job. They're just a lovely bunch there.

There are a few parking garages, but even those are a pain because people park like idiots. The parking situation isn't On Swann's fault, but it's an annoying factor. We had reservations well in advance, so we didn't have to worry about a wait. It was reasonably busy for a Saturday at brunch time. The decor and overall ambiance was classy but comfortable, which is great imo. Our server was nice and checked on us a good amount of times. The wait time between ordering our food and it coming to the table felt a bit lengthier than I would typically expect, but the food was delicious so it's hard to even complain about that. I got the short rib hash and a croissant and both items were wonderful. The croissant was flaky and buttery, it comes with a honey dip and butter on the side, would def get again. The short rib hash was also a menu item I would order again - the eggs were cooked perfectly, and I'd say I'm a little picky with how runny my eggs are. These were runny, but not TOO runny. The potatoes had a nice crisp to the outside but nice and soft on the inside, the short rib was so tender, so juicy, it was just a very well rounded, great tasting hash. This was my first time visiting On Swann for brunch, I'll be back for sure, but maybe on a weekday instead of the weekend since it seems to get pretty crowded in the Hyde Park Village area!

It was late on a Tuesday night so the place was pretty quiet. We sat at the bar and had some old fashioneds and shared a few apps. Our bartender was great and the old fashioneds were perfect. For one drink I switched to a pour of my favorite Angels Envy Rye (which they had for a decent price), but switched back to the old fashioned for drink number three. The appetizers were all packing big flavors and often a unique twist. The Korean crab shrimp scallion pancake was light an airy. I didn't notice a ton of seafood flavor, but it was fun to share. Next was the Korean pork belly tacos. It came with two tacos which was perfect and the flavor on these was so good. The pork belly was perfectly tender with no fatty gristle. These are a must have. The star of the show was surprisingly the Mushroom Tartine which we only ordered because the bartender recommended it. The flavor on the mushrooms was amazing and it mixed perfectly with the soft goat cheese and crunch from the sourdough. Never take this off the menu.

We were seated at a super small table so it made for an uncomfortable situation with so little real estate available. Also the place looks like it's converted from a garage or something with metal walls and roll up doors that made the sound bounce around. The service was nice. We were well taken care of but they seemed to be spread thin because getting refills and getting our check took a bit longer than expected. One ssue was that the menu was very different from what was online via Google. I should have gone to their website I guess, but several items were not available and the filet I was so excited for had a very different set of items. No Brie au gratin potatoes or braised rainbow chard, citrus gremolata and a fig chutney. Now, let me say that my filet was delicious. I loved the sauce and the asparagus was good but for me, the potatoes were super underwhelming. A nice sauce or something would have made them better. They just tasted bland, were really dry and lacked any flavor. My wife expected the lamb or pork chops, they were both not on the menu. She got fish and chips which she really enjoyed, so it was a win. The Asian wings were our appetizer and were delightful too. Now the only real negative for us was the noise. We got there at 5:30 and it was fine. But as more people came in, the sound bounced around so bad that it became almost unbearable for me. I wanted to go so bad because people laughing and talking made my head hurt. Would I go back? Probably not. I didn't enjoy how loud it was. The food was very good though, so perhaps takeout would be more my speed. We had a nice meal and my leftovers were delicious later that evening.

Food: I'd say overall their food is good, it's not the best I've had in Tampa. If you want to come for a decent brunch and drinks this is a good spot. We tried the 'potato latkes' as an appetizer which was really good. I had their 'Smashburger' for my entree which was good, but I've had better. I did like their fries. The drinks were the best part! I had their 'Pink Hugo' which was really good and my friend had their 'Green Machine' which was delicious. Overall the food was good, but nothing amazing to me. Maybe I didn't order the right thing. I'd be willing to come back and try their brunch options as that seems to be what people like the most. Overall, it's a good place to come for lunch with a friend. It wasn't super busy on a weekday, so you don't need a reservation. The prices are decent, but everything in Tampa is more pricey now. **Parking Tip: they have a VERY small parking lot for customers behind the building. There is a larger gravel parking lot behind the building where you have to PAY to park. It was around $6/2 hours, I'm not sure if it's more expensive at different times. Try to look for free street parking in the area if their free lot is full before going to the paid lot! Or if you can car pool with friends do that!
