My friends and I decided we wanted to try a low key bar outside of our usual go to locations. I'd…read moreonly heard the name Velvet Gypsy before but I didn't have any clue of any of it's details. It's pretty small and I feel like it's easy to not notice from the street. There's only like 2 parking spots for the bar. But when you step inside, it feels so quaint and welcoming. The decor is so cutesy but still a place men wouldn't feel out of place at. Our bartender, i believe her name was Missy, was the sweetest and very easy to engage in conversation. At some point, her and my friend were experimenting with random ingredients to come up with a new tequila cocktail together. They have a board with the daily specials and I was kind of surprised to learn they happy happy hour dang near everyday from 2-8 and they close at 3am. If I wasn't worried about my liver, I could see myself becoming a regular there. All they're missing is food.

Wow, what a hidden gem in Brandon! First and foremost, I am a huge fan of dive bars and Tipsy Gypsy…read morelived up to how one should be. Entertaining music, cheap drinks, bar snacks, games and locals. The bartender was attentive and friendly, sharing some specials with us and talking with some regulars. I went on a Wednesday night so it was empty for the most part however, I was told to come back on a Friday night or Taco Tuesday night for live music and more of a crowd. I personally enjoy a less busy environment to wind down and enjoy a few beers with my friends so if you're looking for that, check them out on a less busy night. Open till 3am!

Me and My boyfriend and a few friends have gone here before and there was a very nice bartender in…read morethere last time. We played some pool and everybody was friendly. Tonight at 9:30 the bartender said everybody who plays has to all buy a drink even if it's a $2 water. Meanwhile, he said that normal nights the game is $1.50. Nobody was in the bar other than him and one other person that seemed to be his friend. One of our friends bought a drink when we first came in but he was especially rude for no reason. We don't know the name of the bartender but it was a large dark skin man we hadn't seen before. Do not recommend if you're young. They also don't have liquor or cocktails just cans and glasses of beer/seltzers. I never leave reviews but for no reason and completely unprovoked we were immediately treated with disrespect and unprofessional behavior.

I'm very dissapointed!

I met up with an old friend and we had dinner and drink nearby in Ybor. We called it a night around 12:30 and I was heading back to the hotel when I saw Reservoir Bar and remembered that I loved this divey spot last time I was in town. I stopped in for a drink and the place was packed for a Tuesday, but I'm guessing Cinco had people out partying too. There wasn't an open seat anywhere so I ended up at that little table in the game room by the bathrooms. I figured I would just have a drink and go. That's when a couple guys started playing the punching bag game. Typically that means some meatheads are about to get agro on a video game and end up arguing about high scores soon. But these guys were having so much fun with it and started getting everyone involved. Next thing you know, I've joined in and we're all dropping fivers in to the machine to keep the party going. The strategy and theatrics on how to get the highest score was nothing short of brilliance, but the next day my wrist was killing me from beating on a punching bag at 2 in the morning. 10/10 would do the same thing again!

An authentically old fashioned divey Irish pub in Brandon! I had been here once before for drinks…read morewith a large group, but I hadn't had a chance to enjoy a meal and the full experience. I stopped by recently with a friend for brunch around 11am. It was relatively empty when I arrived and there was plenty of parking, but I imagine that might get a little difficult when the crowds pick up during the weekend. Bartender was wonderful and she poured drinks STRONG! You really can't beat their Irish breakfast deal - $15.99 and it includes either 2 Bloody Marys or drinks up to $10 in value. The breakfast was really good and filling. This is a plastic silverware kind of place and if you don't drink, you'll only find off brand soda to choose from. But if you love a good dive bar with some pub food and strong drinks, this is your spot! I'll be back.

The guy running karaoke is a dick bc he didn't answer any questions, just flipped his hands at me and made me go away. The atmosphere is great but since I wasn't stroking his arm and telling him how great he is, he pushed me farther down on the list bc I wasn't. Not good business practices. I love karaoke but not with dudes who only do it for the ppl who will take care of him in the parking lot.
