Amazing beer and incredible food. Do not skip eating here. The sandwich I recommend is the smokehouse grilled cheese. You will not be sorry. read more

For a bar, the food is actually really good! The grilled cheese options are fun and tasty. The bavarian pretzel and the cheese sauce was delicious. This is not a full bar. They have beers, a couple ciders and wine. Everyone enjoyed what they got and overall we all left happy with dining here. Service was great and quick! Music is worth a note too! read more

This place was a really sweet little brewery. This place has a relaxing atmosphere. They make their beers and hard ciders there. We tried the cider and had lunch here. I got the burrata and prosciutto. My other half got the pizza grilled cheese. We both enjoyed our meal. The server was nice, and knowledgeable about in-house made brews. I enjoyed our brewery date experience. read more

Walked in this evening without being greeted. 2 employees working behind the counter never acknowledged us when we sat down at the bar. They both looked irritated. I assumed there was some tension between them but who knows.... The lady finally walks over with an attitude and asked us what we wanted to drink. I kindly asked for a menu and she responded with irritation, "all the beers are listed up here and pointed to the wall..." I have 2 eyes that work perfectly fine to read all of the beer options you have to offer..... I asked for a menu. What if I wanted a soda, or water, or food.... I simply asked for a menu and somehow that inconvenienced her. If you can't work in the customer service field then find another career. Please stop projecting your personal issues on to customers! read more

Green Bench Brewing Co - Beer Bar Near Me - Tampa, Florida

The Pint and Brew in downtown Tampa is a great place to find a variety of beer and good quality food. I would describe the setting as a gastropub (more of a bar than a restaurant). There are plenty of televisions viewable from any seat. The seating is mostly bar top or high top. The beer list is clearly visible on chalkboards hanging behind the bar. There are 30 beers on tap so there is plenty to choose from. The menu focuses mostly on sandwiches. There is an entire section dedicated to grilled cheese sandwiches all served on sourdough. I ordered the Tampa Cuban grilled cheese and it was fantastic. The sandwiches are served with a side of kettle chips. I was happy with the variety of beer and the quality of the food. The only negative is that prices are a little high... but it's expected due to the location. read more

Just stopped in for a brew and water. This establishment had a nice vibe, cute (female) bartender took my order (craft beer). Food looked good but I wasn't real hungry so I skipped on the grub. I would recommend this place. read more

Stopped in while staying at the Hilton across the street, good atmosphere - not too loud but still a bar ambiance. Got the Cubano and the Elderberry cider, both were really good!! Staff was very friendly. I'll definitely come back next time we're here! read more

Great beer and fantastic hearty, flavorful tomato bisque soup! Sandwiches are a decent portion and the vibe is always chill here. Spacious inside and plenty of room at the counter for a quick bite. I believe I tried their peach or pineapple beer here...it was that good I can't remember LOL If they have it, get it! Service is a little slow but that's expected, its downtown Tampa. read more

Felt instantly welcomed during our first visit since the change to Green Bench! The bartender recognized the band on my shirt and we struck up a great conversation about area music. Point of the visit was a last-minute dinner, we had the jalepeño popper grilled cheese and the patty melt. Both came out quickly, fresh and delicious. The beer speaks for itself- Green Bench is known for winning multiple beerfest awards in the area and probably beyond. I had the IPA collab with the Don Cesar. Also had N/A options and THC drinks there. read more

The staff greatly influenced my review! The food is really good-I had mac and cheese and sampled other plates. It was all delicious. I liked the IPA style drinks and found one that went well with Mac and cheese, which was fun and unexpected. We had a large boisterous group and staff were organized, timely, and kept track of new comers quite easily! Even as food as the food is and as fun as the environment is, the staff really make this place! read more

Kylie is fantastic. Julio made the best food. Good atmosphere, good food, good people.

A nice downtown pub with exceptional food. Tailgated here before a Lightning game. Short walk from the arena so I was surprised it wasn't more crowded with fans. Amazing choice of beers on the chalkboard, so it's impossible not to find a brew that appeals to your taste. I was told this place was a grill cheese mecca. Many other choices as well. The menu exceeded expectations. Bar only staffed by two, so between serving drinks, preparing food and bussing tables - they were hustling. Being short staffed, expect a wait if the place is full. read more

We were at the Hilton across the street. After coming off the Margaritaville ship. I was craving a nice hardy sandwich. We all decided on The Pint and Brew. I reviewed their menu. You know it's a great menu when you want everything on it. I picked the Tampa Cuban. I tried several times to order online. I assume system was spotty due to Milton. I crossed the street and met the owner. I loved the feel and friendly staff. I placed my order. Best part was I was able to watch them make it in front of me. I figure I would like to watch it with a glass of wine. Yup a nice crisp mellow Chardonnay. Chit chatted a bit. I felt very comfortable and music was good. I must say my Tampa Cuban was soooo good. I ate the whole thing. Kudos to business owners who are willing to open their business at challenging times to comfort and feed others. I highly recommend The Pint and Brew . read more

Delicious grilled sandwiches. I like the pastrami Reuben! Friendly staff, good beer list, and fair prices. I'll be back.

Top three grilled cheese sandwiches are the smokehouse, Tampa Cuban, and the jalapeño popper. They also have really good Mac and cheese as well. read more

Great selection of beer. Wings were great and so was the Cuban grilled cheese. Guacamole was extremely fresh handmade by Xavier. Chelsea and amazing server. read more

Quick bite to eat on a rainy night when staying in the hotel across the street. Cute little setup with tables, good crowd. I took mine to go with the weather so bad, so didn't get to experience the different beer selections. I had the grilled cheese with apply and bacon, plus a cup of soup. Soup- thick and rich, super yummy but very filling.. Grilled cheese- large, wasn't the biggest fan of the specific one I ordered. Way to much bacon chunks compared to the thinner apples. Good for someone looking for a lot of bacon. I would have liked thicker apples with a little bacon. Came with a large serving of kettle chips. I am sure you can request this and I would try again! Super nice and quick service. Ordered in advance and was ready ahead of time. read more

Just had my first experience at the Green bench in downtown Tampa and it was great, my bartender Megan made the experience pleasant with excellent service and great recommendations since I was new to the restaurant. Plan to go back every time I'm downtown. The food was tasty, I especially loved the Cuban. The atmosphere was very welcoming and and everyone was professional. You honestly felt like you were being served by your friends. Highly recommend anyone coming to Tampa to stop by especially if you're in the downtown area. read more

First off, I walked in and was perusing their extensive beer menu when I spotted a familiar brand, so I said "Allagash". "That's good stuff." It just so happens there was 2 guys from Allagash Brewery perusing Tampa to see how their beer was selling. They invited me to sit down with them and bought my beer. We had a great chat about my visit to the Brewery in Portland, ME and other commonalities. Now to the food, after those guys left. the girl behind the bar was walking near where I was sitting and I said, "It was suggested for me to order the Smokehouse". She said, "That's a good choice". I replied, "when you eat, what do you put on your sandwich"? She said, Well, I make good stuff and here's how I like it....,". So I replied, "I'm sure you know what's good so can I get it the way you would make it"? And thus "The Jules" sandwich was born! I waited patiently while I was drinking my second Allagash while Jules made me her signature sandwich. See attached photo- substitute bacon for prosciutto add caramelized onions and substitute cheddar cheese for provolone with the usual bbq sauce, brisket and pulled pork. With pickles and chips! Outstanding! For anyone local or visiting Tampa downtown, please do your tastebuds a favor and stop in and have a beer and "The Jules". You won't be disappointed. Cheers! read more

About 30 beers on tap from local brewers. We had the pretzel which was fantastic. Also had the mushroom Mac and cheese which was just okay; it definitely could have had more cheese. The waitress was super friendly. The bar overall was about a mid level dive bar. read more

Service was outstanding, food was very good. My son had the comfort grilled cheese, I had the patty melt. We both chose the homemade chips, but thought they would be hot. They were ok, but didn't taste too fresh. Only downside was the dude by the door that asked everyone who came in if he could get some money. Not a snob, but do appreciate eating without being asked for a handout. Can't say I have ever been in a restaurant eating while people were asking for money. read more

Loved it! Grilled cheese was cooked to perfection. Also, Had the pint and the pint & brews cider ... delicious. They used to have a location in Oldsmar but it closed years ago with so many Groupon specials it was good to bring back all the memories we shared there. I know for a fact that the red sangria is delicious but wasn't in the mood for wine hence why I ordered a cider. Staff was friendly and ambiance was great. read more

We went in on a Saturday for a late lunch. We needed a gluten free place to eat and they did that. If you are celiac this place will not work. However, they had gluten free bread for the sandwiches, so it worked for us. They have several neat sandwiches. I had the cobb salad and it was huge. I also tried the wings and they were really good, very different seasoning. There were only two people working as it was between lunch and dinner, but they did a great job meeting our needs. I would recommend this place. It is a bar, so the seating wasn't the most comfortable, but it worked. The place was very clean and the food and service was really good. Pop came in a can. read more

Unfortunately (for us), we stopped by for lunch - but, since it was really our breakfast, we did not have (take) a chance to sample one of the many amazing looking ale offerings they had. The food was pretty good. Veggies were fresh and portions good. The grilled cheese got a bit too much of tan before it got to us. I don't know if it was the bar/restaurant or the group next to us, but something smelled strongly of cigarettes. Not my cup of tea for breakfast -- but, that's more on me for choosing the first meal of the day in a pub. The family felt like once was enough, but I'd love to go back to try some of those ales! I'd definitely say it's worth a try. read more

Great location right across from my hotel. Food was good. Very much like Cheesesmiths for those who are familiar. Lots of grilled cheese sandwich options. Service was okay. Bartender seemed distracted. Pretty standard bar atmosphere. All things considered, I will come back. read more

Good beer selection, prompt service. Vibes are a little depressing. Not a great food selection unless you want a grilled cheese - but the wings and loaded chips were very good. This place knows how to use char to make everything delicious. Not too busy on a game day which was nice. read more

Very cool spot in Tampa. The grilled cheese options can really catch your eye. Even with five people and showing up at different times, was very quick and delicious! read more

I was staying near by and wanted to go to a place with good beer and good food so I searched on Yelp and it led me to The Pint & Brew! We visited on a Friday evening it was lovely but not busy. Our waiter was friendly and gave us recommendations based on what we normally like to drink. We ordered the wings which were perfectly cooked and savory I would definitely get them again as well as the cheese pizza which we added bacon to. I look forward to visiting again to try more menu items and have the wings again as well as explore more of their huge beer selection! read more

Convenient location across the street from the Hilton. Slower service. One helper making sandwiches behind bar. Good beer selection. Sandwiches and Pretzel were good. Modest and practical inside. A place for people to sit down, have a sandwich and a drink. Recommended. read more

I don't get the love for this place. When we arrived, the few tables were either filled with people or covered in dirty dishes. We considered eating there, but the lack of one clean table prompted us to do carry out. I think there were just two people working there. While we waited for our food, no one addressed the only three available tables - littered with glasses and plates. Other parties arrived and debated sitting at a table filled with trash from departed customers. I tried the smokehouse grilled cheese sandwich. It was okay. Not much cheese. A fair amount of meat. I didn't taste any seasoning. If you're dying for a late night place, this may fit the bill. But you should be able to find better options elsewhere. read more

My husband and I went to checkout the bar/restaurant called The Pint & Brew in downtown Tampa.

Great selection of beer, cider and sours, upwards of 30 taps. If you can't find something you like here you probably don't like beer that much. We split the Smokehouse grilled cheese and a side Mac and Cheese. They were great and more than enough food for the two of us. read more

I've never written a review as I sit in the establishment but wowza! They have THE BEST MAC N CHEESE I have ever purchased at a restaurant. Caramelized onions and shallots, thyme, cremini mushrooms, truffle oil, and Gruyère and sharp cheddar PACKING SUCH FLAVOR! Also the bartender is sooo attentive. She asked me what I like and gave me 3 sample right away. Kept my drink full and offered me water immediately. Thank you so much. Also it's a Monday night and they're open until 12am!!! I love a good late night spot. I am 100% coming back. read more

I was staying at the Hilton Downtown Tampa across the street in November 2023 for a conference and was really hungry at 4pm after taking a long flight (and skipping lunch). After looking at Google Maps, I found this place which has a casual, relaxed ambiance. Overall, the food was much better than expected. I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious Burrata cheese and prosciutto dish (look under salads on the iPad menu), which had heirloom tomatoes and balsamic drizzle. Most entrees had prices between $13 and $20. Service was good but not great. Only 2 people were working at 4pm (beginning of happy hour). The highlight of coming here is the wide selection of 30+ craft beers. It's a bit pricey ($8 to $11), but you're bound to find something you like. I really enjoyed #27 (Magnanimous Juice Lord - Hazy IPA), which is produced locally from a craft brewery in Tampa. It was light and refreshing on a warm afternoon. Well worth stopping here if you're near Tampa City Hall! read more

We loved this place! First off, the people who were working the night we went were awesome! They were so nice, offered as many samples we could drink before deciding on what we liked, and the guy cooking the food was so fun to watch! He took such great pride in making all the food, had such a swagger while he was doing it, and made sure the plating of the grilled cheese sandwiches were like dining at a 5 star restaurant! The tap list is extensive!! They have 30 beers on tap and it was such a large array of beers, there was something for everyone! The food was also great! I really enjoyed my jalapeño popper grilled cheese and Cape Cod kettle chips! I think this spot is a hidden gem and had we not been staying in a hotel across the street, we might have missed going here! Definitely recommend! read more

After having the Mexican dinner we were looking for a place to have beer and quick food. We searched for a place near us in tampa downtown and decided to have beer at the Pint and Brew - Downtown Tampa. They have an amazing choice of beers and have been marked in the board with the number. The atmosphere was great as the Saturday night atmosphere as we loved the atmosphere. From the beer list we ordered the beer flight which was 10, 17, 6, 22 and for the food we ordered Caprese Avocado Toast. The service is great at the brewery and it was amazing. We got the beer and food in 5-10 minutes. The 6 one was the coffee beer and 10,17 beer was like the juice beer. The caprese avocado toast was delicious too and we loved the beer along with the food. We had an amazing time at the Pint and Brew Brewery. read more
