    Crafty Squirrel has a great menu. They have a great taco deal that comes with chips and salsa. I ordered the cheeseburger tacos. Great flavors with cheese and "special sauce". I would definitely go back and get this again. They have have other choices that sound appealing too. Great service at the bar. Plenty of televisions for game days!

    A friend & I stopped here for a bite before a Tuesday night show at Jannus Live. We were enticed by their Taco Tuesday & Happy Hour sidewalk sign! And we only saw one occupied table inside, plus a few people at the bar, so we hoped they wouldn't be too busy. Walking in, we were greeted by the bartender & told to sit anywhere. But after that, we waited more than ten minutes for a server to approach us. By then we were ready to order everything. We started with the Four Cheese Spinach Dip, which also came with tortilla chips & small slices of toasted bread. We really could've made a meal of this app! It was incredibly tasty. We also each got one taco... I think we chose one chicken & one beef. They were also good, but even better at $3! Cashing out was another wait, as we never saw our server again after our tacos were brought out (by someone else); I had to flag down the bartender who was serving a new table. The infrequent service was disappointing because we initially had plenty of time to order two rounds of drinks before our concert. Nonetheless, I'll return here to try other things on the menu. I love the proximity to Jannus, and there's lots of parking in this area.

    Came here for the Halloweekend bar crawl / anytime I go bar hopping. One of the two best places for dancing in DTSP in my experience! Love the free shot at midnight, staff is efficient and friendly.

    Inside outside spot.... This is the ideal bar!! GREAT HAPPY HOUR!! Wishing i lived here so we could come all the time. At night this area can get kinda crazy!!! We got the $1 oysters for HH and they were really good!! First time having them and I am now a fan. Bartenders were nice, made great recommendations for places near by or in Tampa... overall I will still be thinking about this place after we leave

    Came here to watch football and were pleasantly surprised by the AMAZING food! The salmon poke tots were sooo good! Our bartender was super friendly and on top of things and the ambiance was excellent. Lots and lots of tv's and inside and outside seating. Couldn't complain about any part of our experience here and will def be making this a game day go to spot!

    Saturday afternoon around 3pm, We were just walking by when we decided to stop here and have a drink. Lo and behold, turns out it was happy hour BOGO! In addition, they also have $1 oysters...yep, that's right $1 oysters!! We had just left an Italian restaurant for a late lunch so we were way too full to eat anymore, but rest assure, we'll be back to try the oysters. Definitely a nice place with a good vibe and Highly recommended!

    Went to this bar at 4pm 8/13 Wednesday and waited five mins to get served. Came for happy hour special to be overcharged because I open up a tab. I had $15 on my card. I went for bogo deal 2 for $7 for this incompetent bartender chick to say I don't have money. So I go to bank account and I see $ $12 deducted. Then said when you open up a tab they hold $25 buck. You think you would tell a person that but no because they overcharging or taking advantage of person over there own past experience. Then she call the cops why because I'm black. I will never go this racist establishment again

    One dozen fresh oysters...DELICIOUS! Nice college town feel to the place. Staff friendly and efficient.

    Just awful. Don't go here. I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning and the security is rude.

    Unfortunately we arrived at 10pm for food. No food was avaliable. Decided to walk two doors down for drinks and food.

    Always a blast. Great bar, great vibes. First Friday is a bit too crowded. Haven't eaten the food but strong drinks for sure.

    I don't eat burgers often, although I love them, so when I do it's gotta be good…read more We went to Engine No 9 for the 4th of July, and it was outstanding! We arrived at 5:30 and it was packed, but a table opened for us within two minutes. The ambiance was awesome, with each table having its own miniTV! Guests didn't have to choose between watching Wimbledon or the World Cup (or anything else they chose). Such a clever idea and probably great for entertaining kids, too. The server was prompt and friendly, and we got our drinks and app ordered immediately. We split the corn dog as an appetizer (felt right for 4th of July), and my husband declared it was one of the best he ever had. A great ratio of the sweet fried dough and salty hot dog. Definitely a reasonable portion to split as an appetizer and still have room for an entree. We got the tomato and corn salad as a side, which was a nice palate cleanser. I got the bacon cheeseburger (sub a pretzel bun, which you can absolutely do) and my husband got the Van Helsing. Both were excellent. He got regular fries and I got sweet potato fries and a side salad, also fantastic. My meal was exactly what I wanted - a classically delicious cheeseburger (I removed the bacon and put it on my side salad, which I highly recommend). My husband's had perfectly cooked garlic cloves and a nice zest with the jalapeños. They also had a great tap list to go wash everything down! We left stuffed but not feeling like we were going to die. It was a wonderful experience for start to finish and we'll be back!

    Went here based on reviews and recommendations and it did not disappoint. I was lucky to get a seat…read moreat the bar because it was packed at 6 pm on a Friday night. I got the crispy duck wings (and do not know why I didn't take a picture ) but they were very crispy and very good. They came with 2 sauces, which I did not try because they said they were a bit spicy and I don't like spicy, but they were plenty good on their own. I ordered the One Bad Pig with a side of sweet potato fries and of course had to get an extra side of tator tots because I love them. The burger was very good and juice, hard to eat because it's so big, but I managed to do it. The tots were crispy just like I like them and the fries were your typical sweet potato fries but very good. The service was attentive and good and it seemed to be a local crowd and was a nice vibe. It is off the beaten path so not too touristy but the locals know about it so it gets crowded. I highly recommend this place for a burger if you are wanting one!!
