I give it 2 stars because surprisingly I enjoyed my sandwich & chips. But sitting outside on a beautiful evening was ruined every time the stench of dumpster wafted through every minute. It was so disgusting. We were there from 6-730, not when the party crowd would be there but it was a promo thing for rec sports. Sure it was early & an event but I swear I was at an ugly people convention. The clientele there were so ugly it was awkward to look beyond the table. World of beer was a much better place all around except they were out of every beer our group requested. Seriously. A better name is "A beer , maybe two" I think. And Yard of Ale had plenty of clones in boat shoes, but both places were cleaner and better than Macdintons. Macdintons St Pete is much better though, IMO. read more

Okay, sign says 3am. Was inside then went outside to smoke and they wouldn't let me back in after 2:30am. Sign says 3am, right? I said I really need to pee and they said "you are kicked out'. I love it when barhands and bouncers act like they have a good career and show boat. Needless to say, will not be going back. Crappy bar and the bouncers and barhands off duty power trip. read more

I like this place but I'm not crazy about it. The drinks were really pricey and our bartender was rude. I'm not sure if I'd go back. May try to find another Irish pub with friendlier staff. The best part was the outdoor bit with the lighted tree. read more

I've been looking for a place to watch European soccer games and boy did I hit the jackpot ! The place was absolutely mobbed for the big Real Madrid vs Barcelona game and for good reason. Plenty of TVs so you won't miss a single kick. Service was excellent for the amount of people who were jam packed in the place. Clearly there not enough servers to accommodate everyone at once but the staff did do an excellent job of getting to each table in a timely fashion. The burger was delicious and there were plenty of drink specials going on during the game. I'll be back for a lot more games as the atmosphere can't be beaten.. My only complaint was that Madrid lost, but can't blame the bar for that! read more

We went on Halloween and it was people watching at its finest! I love that this place can appeal to everyone. There are multiple rooms with different music (with one room having live music) and a huge outdoor area. There are many bars and the wait for a drink is never long. Though I was surprised that an Angry Orchard was $7. Thought that was a little steep. read more

Visited on a Saturday of a long weekend and as expected it was packed but most of the crowd arrived at 11pm so if you want to avoid it arrived a bit earlier. I like that they have the food trucks some Saturdays, it gives you a chance to hang out without the normal crowd. If you want to avoid the 20's crowd this is not were you want to be late at night. Overall good music depending on your personal likes. read more

MacDintons came recommended by a local we had met at another bar in Tampa and so our group of 9 went to check it out one Saturday evening for some Bachelorette festivities. We had a fun time, mostly spending our night at & around the "Tree Bar". The drinks are served in small plastic cups and if you stand too close to the doors going inside, you're caught in a crossfire of competing jams from both areas. Way too warm to stay inside for longer than a bathroom break...maybe since it was only mid-April they hadn't cranked the AC yet? Place was hoppin' though! read more

Will say this definitely more of a 25 and younger than anything else, but they have great music and a delicious Amaretto Sour. It is mostly patio which if you hate crowds and humidity, then you will be displeased. read more

The beer selection was wonderful. They had something for everybody. My only complaint is that the size of the bar was very inconvenient for the crowds it gets. I am aware this is a bit out of their control, but it still left me with a possibly skewed opinion of the place as it was elbow-to-elbow. But at the time I went there, they were one of the few Florida bars to carry Brahma Beer, so I thought that was pretty cool... read more

Average bar...nothing great, but nothing terrible....I know it's not the bars fault, but the fact that there are so many people smoking left me feeling grateful to leave and breath in fresh air. read more

If you are looking for a cool bar to hang out, this is a great place to go to. The prices won't kill you and while it does get a bit crowded, you are not getting the newbies in college. A better crowd than what you'll find in Ybor. read more

The food was good, the beer was cold, the waiter was good. However, it's kind of chaotic in there for new people. I had never been, and I think they just assume everyone is a regular because when you walk up, there's no hostess, no one greeting you. You sort of have to go find someone to let them know you're there and that you want food - at least for the outdoor seating anyway. read more

MacDinton's Irish Pub - Irish Nachos - yum - Sports Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

MacDintons has a $10 all you can drink so that's always nice. The only bad thing I have to say is that when it gets really crowded, there isn't much room to move around. There is an outside patio people can go onto, but there is still not much open room when it gets filled, especially on the weekend. read more

Everything a college bar should be, this bar took me back to a good place. All you can drink happy hour on Friday from 6-8 - no need to go on after making that crystal clear. Great outdoor patio and multiple bars to enjoy the Florida sun. read more

It's a cool fun place I enjoy going on thursdays but the music is so bad every time. They really need to change it up. I'm not at a high school dance. The bar has better potential with that. read more

Justine is hands down the best bartender at this establishment with Regina coming in close second.

I lie down the street. I frequent MacDintons at least once a week. Amazing bar! Five stars all the way!

I was here 11/28/15 after the FSU game had such a great time! Awesome band and I had amazing service at the bar! All around great place!

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The bartenders all are incredibly rude and condescending. One in particular treated me very poorly on my 21st birthday. I will never be coming here again. read more

Shitty bar serving shitty liquor tried coming back inside after being jumped standing in line and was told I couldn't come back in. Wouldn't let me speak to a manager or try to resolve the problem. Have no idea who jumped me and my friends and they refused to help me find out who did it. Fuck them‼ read more

I love watching EpL soccer matches here on weekend afternoons. Way too crowded on a Friday and saturday night but if thats your thing I'll recommend it. read more

Such a blast! Went here for a bachelorette party! Staff was friendly and helpful. The crowd was fun and the music was perfect. Perfect hot spot in SOHO! read more

I've been here on multiple occasions and always had a good time. Happy hour is a plus. The bands were good and the customers were all having a good time dancing and singer. read more

Place is a go-to place if you want to be around people. The dane floor outside is a bit small and its akward because its right next to the tables where people are just chilling they need to move all the dancing inside and outside should be the socializing area. There are about 6 bars here so getting a drink isn't a problem. The crowd tho is the only down fall bunch of first time bar goers. read more

Great place to be if you are looking for fun night out. Plenty of good people watching and good drink specials! My friends and I always have a good time when we are there! Lots of different places to hang out inside or on the patio. Overall a great, casual, fun place to go. read more

Absolutely favorite bar in Tampa! Always has a good crowd and amazing drink specials. Mainly a college bar but you do run into every type of person at this place. Tons of ladies here too! It's a must visit type of place! read more

Sharon is the best bartender here! She is so personable and always willing to have chat. She is so knows everything about her drinks. Hands down the beat bartender ever. read more

I love this place! Went there before a movie last night and got wasted. Matt (bartender) gave us free shots and all :) I was super tipsy and had an awesome time. read more

Let me start off by saying- I WANT to like MacDintons- I really do. But everytime I go here I just have to say, ugh. First of all, it's always packed. Like, PACKED. And I can't move around, and outside I'm getting smoke blown in my face and it's just a big animal house. Inside I can never hear the live music, the dance floor is WAY WAY WAY too small and they take away all the places to sit practically (not cool, man). I think I would've liked MacDintons in my college years, but as I age I would rather have somewhere to sit and enjoy the live music. Now, I did go once when they had live music on a weekday and it was a MUCH better vibe. I think it just turns crazy on the Friday/Saturday nights. They are a good venue for Gasparilla and soccer games though- so keep that in mind. I also hear they have a medical professionals night where people in medical field get discounts? Check the website. read more

What do I think of Macdinton's...hmm. It reminds me of a hangover. You hate a hangover because it makes you worthless and feel like crap, but at the same time you welcome the hangover because it gives you an excuse to eat really greasy food and watch movies all day. Macdinton's is good because they offer $10 all-you-can-drink for two hours (which just happens to be a lot), but sucks because they have only one tiny bathroom but let in around 800 people (no exaggeration) to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and do battle at the various bars around the venue. The bartenders are less than friendly, and not afraid to let you know that they work for tips only during happy hour( ALWAYS take care of your bartenders and waiters by the way). They have a decent beer selection...better than average anyways. When it's not so crowded, the place is nice, and has various places to sit and drink and talk and drink and play darts and drink. Prices outside of Happy Hour are nothing special, but the location of the bar is reason for this. Speaking of the location, it's good. Plenty of restaurants and other drinking options are around. There are always a decent amount of cuties around! If they added another FREAKING bathroom this place would easily get bumped to a 4-star rating. Do I want to go to MacDinton's again...not really, but I know I'll be back, and not just once, but probably twice a month. MacDinton's = a Hangover. read more

Terrible. No parking unless you want to pay, way overcrowded, food is tasteless unless you like salt, hotter than hell, and the staff is the same age as the clientele which explains the bad service. Went once in college and hated it and tried it again a couple years later and literally nothing has changed. The drinks are very watered down and half the beers they advertise are not on tap. It's definitely an amateur bar in an area with much nicer choices. read more

Best bar in town , you should definitely stop by and check it out.Great food, full liquor bar, awesome

Corey, the manager, is extremely disrespectful. I will not be using their services again.

I was having a good night until I was rudely demanded to leave after getting caught bringing a small 8oz rum bag (which I already know I was clearly was in the wrong for and that's why I left without an argument) bc the drinks in my opinion are a little too weak... I was still purchasing alcohol drinks not just coke or anything. While waiting outside were the first bouncer told me to stand for my girl to close out my tab and retrieve my card, another bouncer outside started rudely demanding me to leave the premises immediately or else he would "make me". Then when my girl came out with the drinks that we paid for mind you, instead of him doing his job and informing us we couldn't take them outside he just rudely snatches the drink out of my hand splashing it on me and my clothes and throws it away as he pushes me out to the street ripping my brand new button up shirt.. As a small business owner in the transportation industry, I would expect a more professional way of handling paying patrons in the event they break your rules. It seems to me the security/bouncers rather just fight patrons instead of finding a peaceful resolution. read more

Great place surrounded by some other places in a totally unexpected neighborhood in Tampa. Who would have thought.

Five stars for all the great times and memories I have made over the years at macdintons. As a student from the University of Tampa, macdintons is basically where my life happened from 2012-2014 on my junior and senior year. You'd think getting drunk at a college bar would get old after graduation but it didn't. I still enjoy going to macdintons and two years after graduation I went and still had an incredible time. There are lots of specials for college students. Wednesday happy hour, Thursday $1 beer, Friday happy hour. It was a set schedule in my life until I moved to Orlando. The bar gets very packed but if you are nice to the bartenders, you'll get your drink. Just be patient. The food at macdintons (although underrated) is incredible! The burgers are delicious and the wings are absolutely to die for. Everyone should stop by before peak hours and eat dinner sometime. I absolutely love this place and I'll keep coming back every now and then whenever I visit Tampa. Shoutout to Sharon for being the best bartender. She's usually at the patio/inside hybrid bar. Visit her and tip her well, she's a great bartender! read more

Food isn't that great but Thursday nights are good if you and your friends just want to get a beer and sing kareoke. I had a great time with the $1 miller lites. The open bar on Fridays is great too. read more

We went there to watch a soccer game. Very crowded but fun! The screens could be a bit bigger, and better located, but the enthusiastic crowd made more than up for it. On the downside, the 2-for-1 beer special did not work for us: They declared themselves out of the particular "special beer" (Peroni/Urquell) when we came back for the second one. The air conditioning also lacked seriously, but I guess that is what you get when there are ~200 screaming and sweating soccer fans in the same room. Free valet parking was a plus, but they lost our keys and it took a while to recover them. read more

Great service and food. The bartenders at the tree bar are very friendly and give good "bar advice"!

Nothing special. There's like 3 Irish Pubs in a 2 mile radius so pick one. They are all the same. They don't have Irish music like Four Green Fields does. read more
