The smoked wings with half Mango Habanero and half Garlic Parmesan. Also got blue cheese and ranch on the side

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.

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).

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.

Awesome awesome. Great food and atmosphere. Customer service was like family you haven't seen in months. Felt like being in a upscale easy speak. Best tasting wings I've had. They also have an gathering place upstairs that can be booked for 12 guests.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Rye sour and mango cider
Tim C.

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.

Smoked wings
Renee S.

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.

Pastrami sandwich and beer

Pastrami sliders here are it.. wow 12 out of 10 I'm not even a pastrami fan and was super skeptical about trying it , I had it with a kolsch beer that they brew here and it was the perfect combo this will definitely be my spot for the next few months 12 out of 10 o the beer too services was also fast Megan the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and beer

Reuben flatbread and brisket sliders

Good beer! Bartender was nice! Food was yummy, wish we had places like this in Sarasota. :)

Flight ( 4-5oz pours )

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.

OMG. What is there to not love about it…read more Great beer selections. They have wine. Bingo games with prizes! It's twice a week so I asked, looked pretty fun as people danced, ate, drank, and played same time. It's got both indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of TV screens, a pup cup on the menu. A song box to pay and play your choice of music. What else, their food is AMAZING! Their service was spot on, friendly, quick and great hospitality. Such gooood smash burger! Yummy, it's a double and tasted juicy. I'm going back for seconds. If you are Deaf or use sign language, their cook, Carlos knows fluent sign language to communicate and take your order. Just ask for him.

I've been here a few times and two things stand out, service is meh, at best, so I will go to…read moreplaces in the area that want my business. I have a Craftapped app, so was more than willing to give all their beers a shot, but candidly, today was the last time I frequent this place. I came in for a beer and burger, but the server (I sat at the bar) had no desire to serve me. I ordered a crème ale and got a menu. This was after I sat there for 5 minutes and watched her wait on what turned out to be a group of four older people who sat next to me - AFTER I sat down. I hope, for her sake, her assessment pays off, as some server at another establishment will benefit from this. I ordered a beer an showed her my app and asked for a menu. I had come in for a burger but when not only did she not come back to me, but actually stood in the register area not doing anything at all, (for a time) I realized the owners of this establishment make so much money, they must tell their employees not to take orders. That's fine with me. I am sure there are places who can spend my money.

Twin Peaks Brandon absolutely crushed it during Sick Week 2026!…read more Huge shoutout to Twin Peaks for being the go-to mid-Sick Week stop. After long days of racing and wrenching, this was the perfect place to pull in with the race car, cool off, and recharge. Ice-cold beers, great food, nonstop TVs, and an awesome atmosphere made it a no-brainer stop. Special thanks to Elysia, who was a fantastic server and took great care of us while we were there--friendly, fast, and on point even with the Sick Week crowd rolling through. The whole team embraced the event and made everyone feel welcome. Sick Week 2026 wouldn't have been the same without Twin Peaks Brandon. We'll absolutely be back next year!

I was utterly upset and disgusted with how u was treated at the Brandon,FL location. From the time…read moreI walked in to get my (7:33pm) order as that was the time it said it would be ready. Which I ended up having to wait 10mins as it was not ready. I think asked the host for a drink due to my inconvenience and having to wait (which I feel was not a big ask) she responded and said she can't. So I asked for a manager whom I spoke with Marcel and MICHAEL the on duty managers who then said my food just came up but this regarded the drink that I asked for. As a person in customer service especially corporate this was very unprofessional and their was not one once of empathy towards me and not to mention the attitude the girl had towards me from the time I walked to the host stand. So I got my food finally 17 minutes later and they forgot my jalapeño that came with my order haven't waited so long you would of thought they would had double checked the order before brining it to me. Not the case. So I the get all the way home ready to eat my food to see that all three of my tacos were extremely brunt at this point I am furious having drove all the way back home and to now have to drive and waste unnecessary gas that I should not have had to is beyond ridiculous. I get there speak with both of the guys and tell them this is unbelievable and unacceptable and I clearly wanted a refund. From start to finish this experience got worse and worse. I told MICHAEL the issue and both of the had no regards to how unhappy I was have not type of empathy and made me feel even worse as a customer. I really feel like the kitchen people were trying to be funny with my order. Even with me face to face and expressing to them both the lack of empathy they had towards me and my inconvenience they still gave none. So he went processed the refund and then wants to come back and give me the receipt and a free chips and salsa like the fact that asked for a measly drink from hump that thy could not even accommodate me is diabolical and to think after how I was treated that I would even want to support this business absolutely not. I literally was just telling my cousin how good they were and not I and forced to banned them completely due to the lack of customer service. As a major corporation you would think they would make things right for the customer so that it would not escalate to this measure but sadly this is the route I have to go to. In order to be seen and heard. This company handled this situation so distasteful. The restaurant literally flipped the issue so they made themselves look as if they did nothing wrong. As a company there was no accountability from upper management on how they restaurant made me feel they did nothing to show any type of empathy and accused me of things that I did not do this is beyond baffling I expected way more from a big named company like themselves. I respectfully will never go to this location. I do feel like they played victim, and they basically made me feel like my concerns were not heard and they had done no wrong when in fact there really was. Please be aware if you choose to spend your money here at this location. I highly recommend not going to this location awful customer service and management! I posted the conversation to show how the restaurant location completely made up lies and deception to make them look like they did no wrong and that I was the "aggressor" when in fact I was not and they choose to treat me racially per the hostess in the front and so management can think that they did no wrong which is crazy for a company.
