What a DOPE, PIRATE THEMED, speakeasy to go to grab some delicious drinks! Totally blown away!…read more Tucked, downtown Tampa you enter through a secret bookcase door and you enter a very low key pirate bar! Lighting is dim, which is part of the concept. (Auto flash is needed for pics) The joint, is VERY CLEAN! The staff is awesome and very attentive! They understand process. The drinks are SOOO WELL MADE! I had a Zombie as my first drink, and it is very well presented and STRONG! I prefer,my first drink at an establishment to be strong cause then I can lighten it up later. Then I had a Rum Barrel, not as strong, but well presented and delicious! Note: Prices for drinks are worth every dime! They have a small food menu, but everything on the menu looked delicious, but I did not eat there. This speakeasy is attached to a British pub which I went for food after. (Review to come) All-in-all great spot to come and have a drink you are well treated, appreciated and just a fun experience! I will DEFINITELY come back here for a delicious drink and DEFINITELY will try something off the food menu. I'll just make sure next time I won't go there after a big breakfast lol! Five stars alllllll day long!!!

We came during a Michael Jackson themed night so the music was already amazing. Vibes here were absolutely unmatched, everyone was dancing having a good time. Bit of a wait to get inside but all in all it was totally worth the wait (about 35 minutes) the host at the door was extremely kind and friendly, the server who was attending us at our table was also very kind and attentive. The drinks were definitely the highlight of the night, I got the "What's Your Fantasy" and my Girlfriend got the "Like a Virgin" and we both loved the drinks, we also had some lemon drop shots to accompany our drinks.

Definitely one of my favorite spots in Tampa for a fun night out! The food was also SO good. We ordered a bunch of different things to share and honestly everything was delicious.

If you're looking for a restaurant with incredible food and an amazing atmosphere I would definitely recommend Arts Club. I can't wait to go back!

The DJ was the highlight for me. Somehow he mixed urban with techno and it was a little bit of everything for every personality -- I loved it. The food and drinks were my LEAST favorite thing about the place, but I would surprisingly go back on a date or a cute night out with some my boo to enjoy the intimate vibes. This place is EXPENSIVE! $28 for a French 75 -- so correction, the price was my least favorite thing about this place. So along as you have a good budget, you should be good.

Also, I love their hours...it's one of those places you can count on when you're not ready for the night to end.

At first it wasn't noticeable because there were only about 2 tables when we arrived but as the night progressed and the bar got busier, we had to wait for extended amounts of time for her to return to our table. We shared the truffle tots as an appetizer and they were delicious and perfect fried. I got the chicken Cesar wrap for my meal. Overall it was good, nothing special and honestly it was pretty bizarre to have croutons in a wrap. The fries were good but nothing beat those tots. We had a credit from The hotel to dine and our waitress once she learned this got immediately defensive and basically told us in many ways that we were lying and couldn't use the credit. After much back & forth with her she finally got in touch with management and changed her tune when she returned to our table to tell us she was mistaken and it was taken care of. Definitely not appropriate customer service at all on her part. We paid the reminder of our checks, tipped on the total minus our credit and couldn't get out of there fast enough.

From the moment you step onto its iconic black-and-white checkered floors, you are enveloped in an electric, no-nonsense atmosphere brimming with 77 years of rich history and local flair. The vibes here are unmatched--dimly lit, wonderfully nostalgic, and anchored by a phenomenal analog jukebox and a crowd that treats everyone like family. The bartenders are absolute rockstars; they are incredibly welcoming, lightning-fast, and legendary for pouring the most generous, heavy-handed drinks in the entire city, making every single dollar spent feel like an absolute steal. What truly makes The Hub an unforgettable destination is its brilliant community spirit and pure, unpretentious energy. Whether you are stopping in for a flawlessly stiff drink before a show at the historic Tampa Theatre next door or spending the night singing your heart out during one of their epic karaoke nights, the camaraderie here is infectious. It is a marvelous melting pot where locals and travelers mingle effortlessly, surrounded by graffiti-covered charm and a timeless edge that cannot be replicated. If you want an authentic taste of Tampa's true soul, phenomenal music, and the best hospitality in town, missing out on a night at The Hub is simply not an option! Thanks
