A cozy bar with a great service, the shed is located next to the river and you can dock your boat and enjoy the bar.

What a great place. It's sandwiched between the Alafaia river and a manufactured a neighborhood of manufactured homes just off 301 in Riverview. The beer is ridiculously inexpensive, the patrons are super nice, and there is a walk up restaurant that is outside if you get hungry. If you are looking for a fancy martini or a giant craft beer selection this is not your place, but if you're looking for a good time at a divey kind of spot come check it out. read more

Don't let the area fool you, this place is awesome. Its a little like being back home with a little place on the river. Staff is OUSTANDING...beer is always so cold. Views are great. Every friend from out of state wants to go there when they come visit read more

Been going there for about two years now and it is so peaceful and relaxing. Friendly customer service and a food truck that is very good. The reason for the 3stars is they haven't upgraded the benches outside by the river. Getting splinters is not fun nor the snags on our clothes. Hope they get new benches! out there read more

This was my first time at the beer shed and it will not be my last. Tucked away along the river, this neighborhood spot (literally IN a neighborhood). The staff is friendly and the beer is cold. It was a beautiful day and we had nothing to do but to enjoy it. The beer shed was the perfect place. A great view of the river on the outside deck with an ice cold beer to accompany my spicy Thai food from next door and I was in Heaven. OH Florida how I love thee... read more

I was looking for something that was a cross between Dukes of Hazard, Duck Dynasty, and Swamp People. Totally fit the bill With that said the bar was full of life and the beer was cold. The little hut serving food is legit as well. If you are looking for something different with lots of locals and no millennial snowflakes this is it. read more

Good food, nice people and relaxing atmosphere right on the river. Had a b and b next door during the Christmas boat parade. My son and I had a great time. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem! I'm new to FL and was already getting tired of the same old bar scene. This spot is perfect for relaxing and kicking back some good drinks at great prices with friends. I will be a regular! 5 star hole in the river bar for sure!!! read more

Can't describe it. You just have to experience it! I would say it's not for just anyone but most people I know would give it a 5 star rating also. If you have a boat in this area you will definitely want to roll up on this place! read more

Super fun little dive bar on the water! Ice cold mugs and cheap beers... Yea please!!! Found this place after riding the mountain bike trails at Alafia and it did not disappoint. read more

No dogs allowed!!!! Don't waste your time or money. Place is a dump anyway - dirty and bad service. The only thing they had going for them is the view. I won't be returning read more

Saw some comments on here about how they only serve whites, which is total nonsense. Have been going there for years and always sit outside. No matter what color you are the service outside is non existent. Sometimes I see them come outside to wipe down the tables or pick up empties. Going to the window to get your drinks quickly solved that problem for those that don't think they're too elite to get there own beer. I hear they just canceled the live music on Fridays, that changes everything. The music is the reason I went there read more

Omg!!! This is the full dive bar experience and you will love it... the gps sends you right into the mouth of a trailer park. You find your way to the back and there sets the bar. Right on the river!!Belly up to the bar because they aren't bringing it to you! Right there you get a cold one and find a seat. Hungry you say? There is a small food truck that serves up some great stuff. We love local type dive bars and as a first time customer we will come back. If you enjoy table service, waiters/ waitresses and after dinner coffee this may not be your place, if you don't mind hearing an occasional f-bomb and mixing with people who didn't have an easy life given to them, stop in. read more

Favorite dive bar in the area. Never eaten here. Great place to have a beer I the River.

I went here one afternoon for lunch. The website stated that they open at 11; the bar was open, but I was told that the cook wouldn't be there for a little while longer. I had a beer and enjoyed the beautiful river view. The cook got there around 12:30, and I was super hungry by that time. I ordered a hamburger and wings. The burger was good, and it was only around $4, so that was nice. The wings were edible, but super greasy and seemed to be over cooked. I would recommend this place because the patrons and staff were very nice, and that view is great! The outdoor seating was ideal. read more

Been coming here for a long time and I love it. It used to be the kind of joint you'd have to worry about getting knifed in the back. I kinda mess that about this place. If you're looking for a cool place to chill by the water with great staff and people this is your spot. read more

Nice hidden place. I will definitely make this my regular stop. Friendly people, comforting atmosphere, beer is cold and cheap.

Docked our boat and went inside for some cold alcohol. This is an old shack looking type place with great prices and friendly service. Next door is the Thai and American Food hut, as the beer shack only serves drinks, ha. Good place to hang out, and you can look over the water and sit inside or outside on the shared picnic tables. read more

We used to love spending Sunday's at the beer shed because of the live music and amazing Thai food! Since the Thai food is gone we never go there. Almost every Sunday I say to my wife "I wish the beer shed still had Thai food so we could spend the afternoon there..." Disappointed customers.. read more

If you happen to stumble upon this place - you've found yourself a top notch dive bar with amazing patrons and cheap beer. Buckets are $14. Great karaoke system, and by the time you leave, you'll be bff's with everyone in the place. Dress is as casual as you can get - some hop right off their boat no shoes, no shirt, no problem. Pretty nice deck/outside seating on the patio to watch the sunset on the water. Haven't tried the food yet, but I will return! FYI - cash only. They have an ATM on site. read more

One day when I am rich I am going to buy this place I love it! Love the food love the people!

What can I say? Like the song says: We got winners, we got losers Chain smokers and boozers And we got yuppies, we got bikers We got thristy hitchhikers And the girls next door dress up like movie stars Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar Sits on the peaceful Alafia river for those who want to sit outside and enjoy the weather. You can get food at the snack shack from Chef Paycheck. And on every Wednesday afternoon starting around 4, chicken wings for everyone. Unfortunately this brings out the broke folk and seniors but, alas, nothing is perfect. read more

This place is as casual as it gets! We loved it!! Cheap drinks, great view of the river, food was good from next door as well. Worth the drive to go there! read more

Walked in and was the life of the party unfortunately. The whole room was watching, a little awkward, but not suprised. Went to chill in the back at the picnic tables and enjoy some cold ones. Its relaxing grabbing a beer and gazing the river. Don't forget to check out the food shed to the left. Place an order and they bring it to your table. The food is pretty legit. read more

This place is a national treasure. Dive bar with Ice cold pitcher of beer for cheap. Frosty mugs. Great burgers and wings, free popcorn. Excellent view of the Alafia River. This is a true come as you are place. I mean it's in a trailer park. Most people tend to arrive by Harley but its waterfront so come by boat too. Great place to chill on a lazy afternoon and people watch under the oak trees by the river. The address listed here is also wrong. The correct address is - 11222 Casa Loma Drive, Riverview, FL 33569 read more

Great little dive bar right on the river. I usually go on Saturday or Sunday afternoon to drink some beer, watch the band, and enjoy the atmosphere. With all that Tampa has to offer in the Dive Bar category, this is a Must see. Parking is an adventure all its own because the bar is located inside a trailer park on the river. Service has always been fast and friendly but bring cash. read more

It's the Beer Shed in Riverview, FL -- a little hard to find but you will be glad when you do find it. Really nice to sit by the river and enjoy a cold beer and a spicy cigar. Prices more than reasonable, atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. They have the usual beers on tap with a rotation of craft beers. This time is was from SilverKing Brewing Company of Tarpon Springs. It's good to live in west central Florida. I can't give it 5 stars only because it's a local dive bar -- but the best local dive bar I have ever seen. I haven't come here as often as I should but I am about to change this. You will see everyone from bikers to businessmen and everyone gets along. read more

A small bar that sits on the Alafaia River where boats can pull up and dock for a beer or two. You can sit outside and enjoy the weather and order food from the snack shack. They have a jukebox and karaoke on Saturday nights. On Wednesday nights, around 4 pm it's chicken wings for everyone! Parking is a premium, so get there early or park up front by the trailer park. Yes, I said trailer park. read more

Going to road trip it today...to windy to arrive by boat as we have in the past. You always leave with a story when you hit the "Shed"... Crazy good ole "Red Neck" hang out!! My kinda place!!!! read more

I love the Beer Shed...since moving here from NYC 15 years ago, I've gone there plenty of times for their Kareoke....the only minus is the smoking...I'm asthmatic and that's the only reason why I can't go...I didn't say 'won't go', I said,I 'can't go'.otherwise, I'd be there all the time...very nice, down to earth, type crowd...not stuffy or uptight. I've seen people of all races go there...and never saw any discrimination of any kind..so I don't know what these people are talking about.... (I'm Taina NY'er) read more

Holy shit!!! The place is AWESOME! Cold beer and great live entertainment! Order food from the guy at the end of the dock and they bring it over! Priced just right and occasionally you can get a BooB Shit! read more

2/3/17 DO NOT GET THE FOOD. Ordered pork sandwich with fries. The 'cook' in the back smoking a cigarette while preparing food, using a pack of cigarettes to hold receipts from blowing away. No gloves on anyone to be seen. They are under new management apparently. Food itself was awful as well, microwaved in the back (not fresh), fries were not cooked all the way either. Got home and had hives, I assume from the bad food as ive never had hives before... Loved this super cool hidden away bar before they went under new management. The bar section has the same cool vibe but probably wont be back after seeing what I saw and neither will any of my friends. Very dissatisfied as i used to brag about this place a lot. read more

Best place in town. The people are so nice. Karaoke is the best... Love the KJ Sabrina. And the bartenders. read more

This place is great since it is on the river but they only serve beer and the seating is very poor, no wheelchair access for my husband in wheelchair. This place could use Jon Taffer from Bar Rescue. read more

Great local place. We pulled the boat right up and my husband had some beer. Everyone was really friendly - you could tell everyone there knew each other and this was our first time. We plan to move to the area and will definitely be back! I love the places that feel comfortable and people have been going to for years - I like to see the same faces. This is definitely the place. read more

My grandparents lived up the river from this place as far back as I can remember. They partied it up with friends here many times from what I heard. It's located right on the Alafia River and can be accessed via boat or car. I finally got to go with my grandparents one time when I was a teenager. It reminded me of a tree house with lots of wooden deck interior. There was an outside deck with a nice view of the river. Everyone was friendly and no riff raff of a small pub. I will have to visit again one day. My grandparents are no longer around, but I miss hearing the stories of the ole Beer Shed. read more

Super cool dive bar that's actually located in the back of a trailer park. I appreciated the free bug spray they offered to their outdoor guests. read more

This is the "Dive Bar" category, and thus, get a 5-star review...in that category. Nobody is going to mistake this place for a bar in South Tampa, where you pay $6 for a domestic, and $12 for a shot of mid-level whiskey. $2 a beer..and, some of the best THAI food in the area. Anyone complaining about the food, and misses their "nachos or cheese sticks or moon pies" or whatever...should just stop complaining. If you go here for THAI food, scenery and cheap drinks..you'll be pleased every single time. Drunken noodles...pad Thai...duck-fried rice...Red Curry w/chicken, etc, etc... ALL are OUTSTANDING. Hard to find...and, when you turn down the street, you'll swear you're lost. You're not. It's at the back of a neighborhood (not a trailer park like some reviewers claim). There are actually a few nice homes, and some trailers...with NO street lights. I've never felt uncomfortable...and, the karaoke is a nice addition on the weekends. We go here about once a week. It's worth every penny. read more

they only serve to the white people and will ignore all non-white guests. please be sure you're white if you want to receive service.
