Wow! what a great place. They offer a wide variety of drinks, all made in-house except for the wine. You'll find craft beers, seltzers, ciders, and wine on the menu. What's unique is that, in addition to beer, they also craft their own seltzers and ciders. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They encourage you to sample drinks before buying, which is great especially since some options are quite unique, and sampling helps you pick something you'll enjoy. Bootleggers has a cozy, neighborhood bar feel, which I really appreciate. It's a spot for locals rather than tourists. They also host game nights, and I was surprised by how lively it was for a Saturday afternoon. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

Bootleggers Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Flights, small pours, enjoy your beer however you want here. Nice to see some cider and even a mead on the menu, too. Service was super friendly and overall it was a great experience. The bar is welcoming, and there seems to be an upstairs area if you want to go exploring. There is a fridge here, and single cans are available. Overall, one of the better brewery places to visit. A lot better than most, if not everything, in the Orlando area, but still a little shy of being outstanding. Not many of those outliers around, so unless you are lucky enough to live or be traveling near one, consider this place an outstanding compromise. read more

This brewery is a VIBE. Very warm atmosphere & perfect for either drinking alone at the bar or hanging with friends. I love that they make beer in house, highly recommend their La Familia because it tastes just like coquito. The bartenders are also friendly and they sell cool spiritual accessories from an artisan too. Will need to come back to try their nachos & wings read more

Amazing brewery that is dog friendly in Brandon! The bartender Haley is fantastic (personable and so fun!) and OMG their craft brews and food is amazing. Try any of the flat breads and smokes wings with sauces to dip in the side! We can not wait to go back. We discovered this place because it was on the Craftbrew app. I also love they have cider on tap and wines for non-beer drinkers. Casual yet chic and comfortable. read more

Let me be honest I have supported thus place for years. When they were om Oakfield they were so different. I don't go there hardly at all since they moved. I'm happy they now have food they serve. The service has always been great in both locations. The new location has sooooo much room.i need to revisit soon read more

Needed to stop for a bite before visiting relatives. This brewery allows pets inside. Perfect! Had a very good server who helped us with a beer selection. She was really friendly. Ordered a couple appetizers. Nothing earth shattering great, but was fine. Would love to come back sometime without the dog and kick back. read more

I had seen this brewing spot while driving along the Causeway and always wanted to stop. Today, I finally did--and I loved it! They have a great variety of beers, excellent service, a nice atmosphere, and a well-kept establishment. They also have an outdoor area. If you like coquito, they have a beer called La Familia that tastes just like Puerto Rican coquito. The selection is impressive, so I'll probably be back to try more. There's plenty of parking, and they also offer food (though I didn't try it this time). read more

Bootleggers Brewing Company is a very cool local brewery on the Tampa, Florida location. The staff here were friendly and professional and the drinks were cold and were served with a warm smile. Bootleggers Brewing Company is a great local option for a local brewery. This particular brewery is a cool local option and its located in a great strip plaza that has more of an emphasis on food and drink than retail. This is a solid option for a local brewery. read more

Just to let you know that they are closed for relocation to some unknown address. Disappointed to get there and find out. No one answers the phone so maybe "closed for remodeling " means "don't hold your breath " read more

We have been wanting to stop by their new location . We used to go to their prior location and make batches of beer. On this visit I was inquiring about some of the staff that I remembered from back in the day. Low and behold Dan and Shawn were on the porch and we got to reconnect after having not seen them in several years. The new venue is spacious with both inside and outside seating. We were there on a Saturday night and while the place was busy there was still room for us to sit at the bar and enjoy a few brews and some wings. The beer was delicious, the wings were exceptional and the staff were engaging and personable. Overall we were very happy that we stopped in and we will certainly be back. read more

Had not been to this location yet and was totally impressed. It is a warm and inviting space that offers plenty of seating options. We sat at the bar and both bar tenders were friendly and helpful. I had to get their saison. They brew an amazing one. Though it had been years since I had been able to enjoy one of theirs, this one was everything I remembered and was worth the wait. We also tried their smoked wings. The rub was so tasty and the smoke was done perfectly. I can't wait to come back again soon. read more

Nice little brewery. Heard the food is really good. Haven't eaten here yet. Drinks are good. Lots of fruity beers on the menu right now. Everything from seltzers to IPA's to porters. Have a good guy playing music right now. It's a nice chill atmosphere tonight. Just what we needed. Good place to come and have a couple of drinks and vibe out. read more

Andrew and Mandy were great! They are friendly and helpful. There are several great beers to choose from. One of my favorites is the Cranberry Saison it's is a delicious fall sipper with notes of spice and a bit of sweetness. There is a wonderful comfy area upstairs with a romantic, relaxed vibe overlooking the bar area. There is also a nice covered area outside. Check this place out! read more

The food is ok. One pastrami and one garlic parm smoked wings. The beer was great. Tangent Sour was delicious. Great for a lite bite and some beers. The sauce for wings was on the side (not per request) and no carrots or celery. The table next to us had nachos and they were piled high, I'd try those next time. read more

First time at Bootleggers. They sponsored a night market outside which was fun to walk around. Good choice of different beers and ciders. Flanders style sour was good and hit the spot. Mango cider was nice and sweet, but did not really get mango. Inside has a nice bar and several tables. Big patio out back. Great local spot for good brews. read more

Bootleggers Brewing - Reuben flatbread and brisket sliders - Breweries Near Me - Tampa, Florida

In Tampa for the RV show with 3 other couples and needed a place to grab some food. Hit up the trusty Yelp app and found Bootleggers. Impressive beer selection and all under the house brand. All orders placed at the counter and the bartender brings out food. We went with the loaded nachos and I had a flight of beers to see what I liked. Nachos were excellent, as were all 4 beers I had. Decor is interesting, but nothing to write home about. Lack of table service keeps this from a full 5 stars. Add in a nice 29% military discount and you get a winner if you happen to be in the area. read more

My brother and I were looking for a brewery in the Brandon/Riverview area for a chill bro night. We settled on Bootleggers because it was close-by. We arrived to a pretty busy tap room. We walked through the middle of open-mic night right as a guy was beginning his comedy routine. No one was sitting at the bar. The bartender was friendly and greeted us but told us she would be back over to help once she finished the line that formed at the end of the bar. A similar situation to the last time I visited. We waited. Luckily, the bartender fended off other customers to finally help us. She was friendly and got us our beers quick. I initially wanted a flight but it seemed chaotic and not comfortable in here. We enjoyed our beers. I had a dunkel and I forget what my brother got. We were also interested in food and I remember looking over their menu and was looking forward to that. Until I saw the sign that said food was only on certain days. No fault to Bootleggers Brewing for having events to bring in business, that's what your supposed to do. Unfortunately, open mic night wasn't for us. Our time here was spent sipping our beer and listening to a man yell into a microphone. We finished our beers and headed out. They have a decent tap list and I would like to try their other brews. I'll just have to check what events are going on ahead of time. read more

Grabbed a couple of delicious beers and lunch. Very pet friendly and accommodating. Great vibe.

This place is located in area with a lot of choices. I originally wasn't going here, but something called me to Bootleggers. Maybe it was to try a new beer, or maybe to find my new favorite place to eat in this retail space. Upon walking in, it was empty and I was wondering if I made the right call. The bartender quickly greeted us and explained everything. With so many great, fresh, on site brewed beers, the only smart decision is to get a flight. I got the Italian Grinder and my wife selected the Panini. I hear the Pastrami is the way to go. As we got our food the place began to fill up. There are seats at the bar, a few tables up front some along the side, a couple upstairs, and a nice deck out back. Bonus: You can also purchase some of your favorite pours in cans prior to leaving. I believe they do growlers as well - did not look at that option, so don't hold me to it. Will definitely be making return trips. read more

The Peanut Butter Sammich is legit here!! The best thing about getting to breweries right when they open, great conversations with the bartenders (cause you're the only ones there) and generally additional tastings because brewery people just can't help them self but brag and wanna share the tastiness! Nothing wrong with that!! We first visited this brewery in the original location where you could also buy brewing supplies but we have also been to their new location that is much different but we also like that one too. Also happy to see local businesses grow. read more

We stopped by on a Friday night before it was too busy. It was seat yourself and order at the counter and they bring it to you. We ordered a flight ($14.00) of peanut butter sammich, carrot cake, o bejeezus, and burlesque brown along with a pretzel ($11.99), wings ($11.99) and brisket sliders ($13.99). We were hopping we could do a slider sampler but they would not do that. Our drinks came out quickly and we decided the peanut butter sammich and the burlesque brown were our favs. We enjoyed the briskets sliders with coleslaw very much. The pretzel with the horseradish mustard and cheese was also very good. The wings were small but had good flavor. We ate inside but the offer seating outside in the back also. The also have an interesting window into the kitchen you pass on the way to the restrooms. They have a shelving unit of T-shirts and growlers for sale. We did get a Burlesque Brown growler ($17.00) to bring home. We will be back to try other beer and the pastrami sliders. read more

Sunday play off game. We decided to give this place a try, it's our first time here. It's a nice cool place. It's very quiet for a Sunday game. As we walked in The bartender handed us a beer menu from the bar and said we can sit wherever we want to. Nice! We get to sit wherever we want. Yay!! The game was on but no sound. We asked the bartender why.. he said the audio wasn't hook up and that he doesn't know how. Oh well. Then we asked if we can get the food menu.... Again the bartender handed us the menu and said... all we have is some flatbread and wings and nothing else. What!?!?! I was hoping for more. It's a cool place but kinda disappointed that we couldn't anything besides wings and some flatbread. I don't know if it's because they have no staff. He was the only working and was on the phone the whole time. We ended up going somewhere else for the second half of the game. I will wait awhile before I go back. read more

Always searching for a brewery when I travel and Bootleggers popped up in my Yelp search, close enough to the hotel to make it easy. Located in a "strip mall" setting, a very nice experience. Rachael was super sweet and has a very fun and attentive personality; you'll get personalized service. Go here, you'll see what I mean. Hard to believe they opened in 2020, during the bug business, bold move and a worthy journey. Great beer selection and the food menu has plenty to satisfy anyone's needs. The setting is very cool, industrial, and lean. I suppose time of year had the outdoor patio closed, or maybe just evening hours, but there was plenty of seating inside, and above the bar in the loft. TVs a plenty and a large projector image on one wall, for those who want/need the TV exposure. The Black IPA paired beautifully with my meat flatbread, and a side of delicious potato salad. I had a couple more beers, the American Pale Ale is a nice drinker. Bonus, live music on this Wednesday night, with a splash of open mic. Great place, great grub and grog, and Rachael takes care of business. The "chef", checked on everyone who was eating to "see how everything was", very nice. I'll be back, thank you! read more

They had a wide variety of beer. My husband had a red beer and I had Oktoberfest which both extremely delicious. We also ate dinner I had chicken made with avocado which tasted amazing my husband had the brisket sliders. Food was equally delicious. I will definitely be back if I am in the area. read more

The food was pretty good. You have to order and give your card at the bar. With fraud as rampant as it is I don't like to part with my credit card. We had wings -dry smoked sauce on the side. They were tasty but I prefer the sauce on the wings versus dipping them. Also had bourbon chicken flatbread. It was really tasty. read more

I was invited to the soft opening for the new Bootleggers Brewing and was pleasantly surprised how huge the new space is! From the VIP "balcony" above the main bar to the beer garden outback! I definitely give this place 5 stars! I have watched them go form a small shop to a large brewery and they know exactly what they are doing. On the night of soft opening I didn't go a second without a beer! The beer tenders were super attentive and you could tell they had their stuff together. The beer...mmmm... I have to say I'm a fan of if the Bootlegers Peanut Butter Sammich and the Bootleggers Ice cream sammich! Pro Tip: Ask the beer-tender to give you 1/2 and 1/2! You won't regret it if you are a true stout fan!!! The new location is large, trendy and clean and is a must visit if you love craft brew. read more

I was left wanting on an early Saturday night. They were dry on all their IPA's! What? I don't think they brew in big batches but they didn't even have any guest IPA's. We didn't stay for more than one and we're off to the next place so we could get some better beer. read more
