One of the many perks of the Epicurean Hotel is its swanky rooftop bar that is excellent for night time hangouts, especially if you stay at the hotel. I thoroughly enjoyed my extra dirty gin martinis that were made for me as my lady enjoyed the gin and tonics. They have grassy backdrops, perfect for selfie taking. Lovely night time views leading to the Bay. Plenty of table, bar, and patio lounge seating both covered and outdoor. It's a terrific stop, especially if you have had dinner at Elevage. read more

A lively rooftop bar in SoHo! This was a fun spot to grab a drink at with nice views and a breezy rooftop environment. The drink prices are steep and the music is loud. It was very busy, and quite a bit of a wait for drinks because they were handcrafted. The soho sipper was AMAZING, highly recommend. Overall, this was a fun spot I'd come back to for a drink prior to dinner close by - such as Bern's or Haven. read more

My best friend and I were in Tampa for my birthday trip and we originally wanted to go to the Beacon rooftop however they're extorting you at the JW valet parking 50$ I'm like uhm to go up and spend more on overpriced drinks no. They said they would validate parking for half off ... still a no for me, so we ended up at the Epicurean hotel which was also valet parking but was only 10$ edge was understated cool for me. I liked the vibes but it wasn't too busy (it was only a Tuesday night around 6 pm) I liked it because it was a pretty atmosphere not super great views but still nice and I absolutely loved my drink it was under the zero proof cocktails passion fruit deliciousness. I would return. read more

Stopped by for a drink at this rooftop before a nearby dinner reservation! The valet is complimentary before 7pm which was perfect! The valets were very kind and even kept my car at the front since I was only going to be an hour or so (make sure to tip them! :) ) The manager pointed me to the elevator towards the back which goes directly to the roof! It was great and beautiful views! They have a covered and uncovered portion, which makes it great in the event of rain. They also have a nice happy hour which I wasn't expecting! The bartenders were very nice and it was open seating. You ordered at the bar and could sit where you like! Great spot for a stop on a date night or catching up with friends! read more

The bar and atmosphere was nice. The rooftop has an open area and covered section in the event of rain. No views of the water 1/2 mile away. Too many buildings block the view. Bartenders were professional. read more

Beautiful bar/hotel in Tampa however very dead and not that many people visiting. The food is pricy on the bar menu but tasted very salty. They can definitely improve their food. Vibes are excellent though and the location is close to a very nice steakhouse across the street. Worth a visit! read more

This rooftop bar was a pleasant surprise after visiting the Elevage restaurant downstairs! It wasn't crowded, so a nice location to grab a drink and enjoy the outdoors. We just ordered champagne and relaxed. They may have similar happy hour options as downstairs, but I didn't receive a menu at the bar. You can't see much of the sky view, due to the brick wall surrounds, unless you stand up; so don't expect panoramic views. But a nice combo with the two restaurants in the same building. read more

EDGE Rooftop Cocktail Lounge - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Great rooftop bar in Tampa! Stopped in on a Wednesday night on a whim after finding it online and it was perfect for the occasion. There is valet parking for the hotel that you can use to get to Edge as well, I believe it was $5. When you enter the hotel, there are elevators in the back to take you up to the rooftop, as the regular elevators in the front won't work without your room key. The receptionists are helpful to point you in the right direction if you need help too! The bartender working was super nice and made the night extra special. I wish I could remember his name but he was 22 so if a manager is reading this, he's awesome! Drinks were really good and cute with dried fruit. The rooftop is mostly covered but has some uncovered parts as well, with plenty of seating throughout (and a few tables). I can imagine the place gets pretty busy but it wasn't too bad when I went. I believe they also serve food if you want it! I definitely recommend Edge for a fun night on a rooftop! read more

I really enjoyed EDGE. Another rooftop bar in Tampa with a great view! They have plenty of seating and they don't have any reserved tables so it's first come first serve. We got there around 7:50pm and it wasn't that busy yet so we got seats and drinks were make rather quickly. I had a passion margarita and it had a little kick to it but refreshing at the same time with the mixer they use. It was a very good margarita and went down very nicely. I would absolutely recommend the EDGE for a night out! read more

Cool vibe, nice bartenders, okay view. Giving it a 5 starts because the spicy Margarita was probably one of the best I've ever had. Would definitely go back just for the drink. Went on a Saturday night during a holiday weekend and it wasn't packed, but there were barely any seats. 2 here and there. Regardless, the bar was not extremely busy so it was a great night. We parked down the street and walked. read more

Sooo the EDGE Rooftop Cocktail Lounge was relaxing with a chill vibe to have a drink. I was searching for a rooftop bar given the COVID situation. I was able to grab my own table next to the pretty views. The drink selection was good but pricy. I was okay with paying for the ambience and the drinks were tasty. They have a few finger food items but I ended up eating at the restaurant downstairs after. The waitresses were very attentive and checked on me often. The staff all had their mask on and I felt comfortable. Overall I will be back. What was ordered: Senorita & Bayshore Gimlet Cocktails, and Shrimp Cocktail Senorita = Hint of Yummy spice Bayshore Gimlet = Refreshing end Shrimp Cocktail = Can't go wrong read more

This is such a cute spot with great drink options. I enjoyed the E75 which was so good! The bar itself is a bit small but they have a lot of cozy seating spots. This isn't my go to rooftop bar in Tampa but it's definitely worth checking out! They normally open at 5 but the day I went there happened to be rain at around 4 this caused them to push opening back until 6:30. When we arrived at 6 the front desk staff told us it would open at 6 so head right back up. However it did not open for 30 more minutes so we had to wait in the hallway with no seating area for quite a while. Keep in mind if you go: if there is lightning in the area they will close the bar and kick you out. The only parking option is valet and if you leave after 7 it costs $5. read more

The Edge is a great place to go before you "treat-yo-self" at Bern's! We loveeeee a good rooftop and they can be hard to find in Tampa. This one has a great vibe, with mediocre views. We both had the Bayshore Gimlet (or two...) & it was DELISH! Mark the prices down a notch and I'm sold. read more

Always a nice time at Edge. Great views, great service, great cocktails. The drinks run about $15 a cocktail which is a bit pricy but they are hand crafted cocktails more than just a simple mojito or old fashioned. They actually add interesting ingredients and garnishes and you're paying for the ambience. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a chill rooftop vibe. It's a lot quieter/chiller vibe than a rooftop like Rocca just across the street which can get really busy. read more

Really cool spot to have a cocktail with a view. The bar tender, Alexis, is amazing. She was personable and made an amazing French 75 for my friend. Very attentive and fun to chat with. The food is nothing to write home about but the bar and atmosphere are great. I would recommend this place for a cocktail early in the evening. This is probably not where you want to hang out all night, which is perfect since it is technically a hotel bar. read more

EDGE Rooftop Cocktail Lounge - Mural - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Came to EDGE casually for a drink and was not disappointed. There aren't many rooftops in Tampa and I surely enjoyed this one. Off the bat, yes drinks are definitely pricier than most..that is expected considering they are the rooftop bar of a boutique hotel in SOHO, however for Tampa I would say more than $10 for a basic drink isn't the most reasonable. However, the lounge is a great place to catch a breeze and kick back. It's a great place to hang with some music playing as well. The drinks were pretty good and I did like their menu as I enjoy a nice crafted cocktail. Overall, I could see myself coming back if I really craved the environment, however for casual drinking - maybe not the best spot to visit. read more

We visited for my husbands birthday The drinks were pretty good. They didn't have good food options though. And it's best to go early or wait until crowd dies down read more

Met a couple friends on a weeknight for a fun event. The views really aren't the best, mostly treetops & top of roofs, but they recently renovated & made killer cocktails - at least what I could keep down. lol Our bartender, Rachel, was so attentive & absolutely mazing! TOMMY'S MARGHERITA (4/5): Smooth! Instantly revitalized after a sip, since it was hot and humid outside. Yasss gurl/guy - get this! STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI (4/5): Simple ingredients, but the combination is beyond delish - loved that it wasn't overly sweet. SAUVIGNON BLANC (3/5): Hit the spot, too bad it was barely half full. CHANDON ROSE & PROSECCO (5/5): I know, I'm a little boujee, but I can't help myself because life is way too short to be drinking any flat rose and prosecco. Both were soo fresh & really bubbly - fantastic to sip on & loved it. Valet only at the Epicurean (after 7pm it's $5 to valet), walk all the way to the end of the restaurant, Elevage. Hop on the elevator - select 4 for rooftop. Come for Happy Hour drinks + a couple app. selections - def. bring friends & get yourself a cocktail (you know you deserve it!) for an extra fun time! read more

Nice rooftop bar at the Epicurean. It's nice to be away from most of the Howard Ave scene. It's a small space, but we had no problem getting drinks and finding seats on a Saturday night. I had the hand shaken daiquiri, and it was one of the best daiquiris I've ever had. My husband asked for a double tequila on the rocks (I can't remember the name, I think it was Milagros?). It was fine, but probably not worth the $28 they charged for it. I'd stick to the cocktails, not straight up liquor here. read more

Lovely rooftop bars at the Epicurian Hotel in Soho Tampa. It's a small space, but it's nicely laid out. A small bar with a few chairs, and then couches and tables to one side. We went on a Saturday night around 9 pm. It wasn't overly crowded but there was a section of the space that was sectioned off for a function. Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the food. I believe they only had a small selection of "small bites" available at the time. Our bartender was super sweet. I'm giving it 3 stars because it fell a bit flat in terms of ambience,it was a bit dead, but the service was lovely, and they establishment itself is beautiful. read more

Love the renovated rooftop bar. We enjoy coming here for craft cocktails after dinner downstairs. I was very impressed with a drink I had last time we visited that was supposed to taste like a salad. It was very refreshing and interesting and unique. This is why I will continue to come here. The view is nice, its not amazing, but you can see downtown off in the distance. Its kind of a small space, but its not too crowded. It wasn't super busy any of the times we visited. read more

First I must say that I love the Epicurean hotel and plan to return but probably not to Edge. I had an extremely bad experience at Edge the rooftop bar there last night. The bartender was extremity rude and literally made a comment to another patron as we were walking away, "see what I have to deal with". We were only steps away when he said this. Not okay!! We were paying customers. Paying for very small overpriced pours... and a snobby service. read more

EDGE Rooftop Cocktail Lounge - Half empty or half full? - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I see from other reviews a lot of people compare this as "the Canopy" rooftop bar of Tampa but I don't think you can compare the two. First, this rooftop deck bar not facing towards the water, so if you wanted that water view, I suggest you go to Harbor Island, hit up Jackson or American Social type of places. I didn't even know a rooftop bar existed in SoHo so I was excited that my friend knew about it after we wrapped up our great Elevage HH downstairs. It was Thursday night but we were able to find a table and order right away. We ordered two cocktails and two appetizers-- I got a gin gimlet and smoked chicken wings. The gin gimlet was so refreshing! And went perfectly with the breezy summer weather we had last night. They goofed up with my order and first got me smoked deviled eggs-- but they let us keep it while they worked on my wings! SCORE! The deviled eggs (although only 3, which means it was only 1.5 eggs) was delicious, but I wouldn't order it since I don't think the quantity matches the price. But last night, we got to enjoy them complementary. Once the wings came out, it was excellent-- smokey, well-cooked. Delicious. My friend got a blackberry tequila cocktail and liked it a lot too. "Very unique flavor," she said. She got duck lettuce wraps and there were generous portions. I really liked the laid back ambiance and the atmosphere. The bubble sculpture was well enjoyed, as you can tell from my selfies. It is less busier than Fly Bar (although it wasn't the weekend, so maybe it's not a good comparison), but I think this place deserves some props in SoHo. read more

Beautiful place!! Could use more of a "rooftop view" with the city, but the place has a nice aesthetic to it already! Drinks are made with care and make you feel classy with the service they provide. Took my manager out for his birthday and he was impressed!!! They are lacking one start though, because it's only honest to be fair. They happened to be out of red bull, select whiskeys, and even my go to tequila don julio while we were there. I almost ended up leaving but our server suggested I try something new and we'll....I liked it! Great spot for a laid back night with friends. Also, pricing is literally "you pay for what you drink". Let me explain: you want the cheap stuff? Well guess what, you'll pay the cheap price LOL. You want some quality champagne? Well, you'll pay the quality price. Our double shot whiskey on the rocks came out to only $12! read more

Incredible views- excellent cocktails! Love the atmosphere and service was attentive.

I met up with a friend on a Saturday night to catch up and grab a few drinks while enjoying the Florida weather. The venue itself is very pretty. The seating options are great and it would be good for a party or two or twelve. The menu at the bar was limited and not very appealing to me personally. I ordered the edamame just to have something to snack on and it was fine but not special. I can't comment much on the drinks as I only ordered vodka sodas which are hard to screw up. I was very unimpressed with the service. There were two men working but it seemed like they were not allowed to make drinks so they just awkwardly stood around. There were also two female bartenders who were very chatty with each other and not paying close attention to their customers, myself included. The best part of the evening was the music. DeJohn had the best playlist for a laid back rooftop vibe and my friend and I kept commenting to each other how we liked this song or pulled our phone out to get the name and artist. Overall the experience was nice and I'm glad I went since there are so few rooftop bars in the area. read more

Mainly there for the ambiance. Which is still ok; the drinks are way overpriced and not the best tasting. The selection of food is barely anything and overpriced as well. You also have to pay for parking, and trying to get to the place was not the most easiest to get to. Nice, but not impressed. ‍ read more
