    Terrible food. Terrible service. It wasn't even busy, and we waited 20 minutes for drinks. Another 30 for nachos. Jebis christ I've made mistakes and this one is one of them. Don't do it. You've been warned

    We saw this from streetside and thought it would be a lot of fun, unfortunately it was lunch time and there wasn't anything really going on, including the help. I don't mean to be disrespectful but definitely when you have four people in a restaurant you should be able to get a drink when you want one. The evening staff may be different definitely you can see the street and I'm sure that it would be a good time with some loud music and good company.

    I absolutely love the slushy cocktails and wanted to stop by a location with this option, during a day trip to Tampa (and since Wet Willies has apparently closed). Well, they definitely had many options!! After a day at the zoo, my partner and I wanted to have some adult fun and cool off a bit. Loved all of my drinks and the flavors (with the extra shots in the slushes for only $2!)... can't beat that. The only drawback to this location was the service and upkeep. Not sanitizing tables after each group left, allowing smoking (a designated smoking area would help us non smokers) and the service was just okay at the bar. My cup had a leak/ crack in the bottom and I didn't realize it immediately but many napkins later, I figured it out. I had to wait about 6 minutes for the server to come back out, in which she gave me another cup to dump it in. Very nice view and drinks (I didn't try the food); laid back atmosphere. Yet, Service could be more personable and attentive. I would visit again for the drinks and just to relax before heading to another location.

    5 stars for their frozen drinks because this is where Ybor starts the party. Always gets the job done!

    Very cute rooftop bar! Ybor is really a vibe! A must visit if you visit Tampa We went early, didn't have lunch. Just a drink. I got a piña colada mix with strawberry. It was ok, it tasted like wet, willies, or any other frozen drink place . Dominus was cute, our server was really sweet. She did some nonalcoholic drinks for my kids.

    Wine was awesome can't remember the name but it was amazing sweet red. We had a small cheese, meat, jam, nuts board, Bea had a weird science beer that she loved. Sherrie was amazing from the time we walked in to the time we left. She is very educated on the wines and beers. Ambiance is lovely, nice area in ybor to people watch, very laid back

    The food here was not tasty at all . The frozen drinks were okay but just that . Okay ! I tried the tequila shot that supposed to change colors that didn't change colors at all . It's a nice view from the middle of Ybor though .

    The people watching is the best part, and the worst is the actual food. I grew up in Tampa and can adjust my palette accordingly, but this was top tier bad food. There was no authentic cheese on my nachos. For 12$ I'd hope there'd be anything good to say about them, but this was a whole scam. I was starving and still didn't want this. My server was sweet, but we won't meet again.

    Three stars but not in a bad way. It's essentially just covered outdoor seating/patio style upstairs in Centro Ybor. It's great for people watching down below. There are probably 10 flavors of frozen drinks and a full service bar. The food options are very slim. Chips and salsa and nachos. I've never tried the food. It's good for a quick stop for a drink or two. Then on to the next stop.

    Perfect lunch place. Laid back, easy going. Great view of 7th and awesome for good weather. Tacos and Quesadillas were tasty!

    First timers!!! We sat ourselves, went around 5pm and had no wait. Waiters were pretty cool. Definitely enjoyed having a variety of drinks to choose from. We ordered egg rolls to share and they weren't too bad. We spent $48 on 2 drinks (1 each) & egg rolls, I thought tht was a little expensive, they also automatically add your tip . Menus were also sticky and unclean. I would go back for drinks maybe during happy hour (if they have one)

    Delicious strong af Pina Colada
    Tina L.

    I cnt believe this waz my very first time here. I really enjoyed my day drinking experience & my frozen Pina Colada was everything. They had $4 grilled shrimp taco. specials since it was Taco Tuesday! The frozen drinks are worth the $12 cause they are strong af. They automatically add a 18% grutiaity to your bill. I hate forced tips. Its better to tip on your own because people would be willing to tip more.

    My friends love it! Drinks are fires

    See all

    A nice outdoor patio to view the streets of Ybor. The place is a bit outdated, and their bar doesn't have much to choose from.

    Order the dip trio with a frozen margarita for a safe start if you've never been, but it's a cool vibe
