Fun cocktail bar to check out some different kinds of drinks. I started with a $15 Ring of Fire. It was ok. Then, I had a $17 smoke and mirrors. It certainly had a smoky taste. And up last, I had a $16 Los in Mexico. I liked the Lost in Mexico drink best, but a long shot. The girl sitting next to us had her birthday here. They brought out a bottle of champagne with a fire sparkler attached. It was pretty cool. Not sure I'd come back since I have to take an Uber from my house. I liked taking pics inside of the bath tub hahaha.
Just a random bar we found near Seminole heights Their Pearl Grey was really good, plus it came in a teacup! The other fizz was just okay, kinda too mild for me
Looking for somewhere intimate for a date or somewhere to hang out with friends, Mandarin Heights can fit both scenarios. It's cute and quaint, it's somewhat Instagrammable with its famous bathtub. The cocktails and carefully curated and although simple are beautifully presented. Don't fall in love with a cocktail because their menu is rotational! Last night was my second time visiting and it did not disappoint.
Beautiful cocktail bar in Seminole heights. Mandarin has unbelievable crafted drinks and a great vibe. The bartenders were all super friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. The DJ kept the energy up all night. The crowd was a good mix of people in their mid-20s to 30s--lively but not overwhelming. If you go, you have to try the Ring of Fire--it's a standout cocktail with bold, spicy flavors. Perfect for a night out with friends. Highly recommend!
This place is THE place if you want to get some well balanced and wonderful crafted cocktails! The uniqueness of the drink menu here is unmatched. All the mixologists do an amazing job doing and creating this drinks. My personal favorite was the Aloe, darling, was so good and perfect for my taste! The vibe and the ambiance is superb, the music, and the place itself is so fun! Parking is not that big but you can park in the street too. They only thing that might be an issue is that this place don't offer anything to eat, and some people like to eat while they are drinking, but this is a great place after dinner, go for a couple good drinks to close the night. I also recommend their espresso martini! One of the best in Tampa for sure!
Such a cute vibe! We came here before a concert to enjoy some drinks. they were very cute and festive. The environment is super cute and provides lots of photo ops :)
Whether you're kicking off your evening or unwinding, Mandarin in Old Seminole Heights, situated in the former Bodega location, is an excellent choice for a libation. The indoor and outdoor bars are charming but fill up fast, with limited tables available. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the bartenders were both efficient and welcoming. The cocktails were a delight, boasting intricate layers of flavor, dimension, and texture. Yes, parking is available :), this location is also a Brew Bus stop which was our method of transportation and allowed us to hit up a few spots before walking back to our Airbnb. Drink responsibly!!
Mandarin Heights has been one of my favorite local bars since it opened. It has the best vibes, best drinks and best service. Every time I go, I try to order something new because I like to be a little adventurous with my drink choices, and I have never been disappointed throughout the years. Make sure you go and check them out if you haven't been yet, you're going to love it!
I wish I could give this place 15 stars it is my favorite place to grab a drink. Amazing atmosphere, interior and exterior are really well decorated, and it's a great location. Sean serves me every time and makes me the best drink I've ever had in my life. Service was super quick. I wish I could have it every day. Definitely need to check this place out!
This is one very funky/cool bar. We came here on a whim while visiting Tampa for a concert. It's open concept with most of the bar outside. If your looking for a cute place with lots of Instagram worthy photo ops this is it. This bar gets really crowded but they make their drinks fast. The crowd is very mixed with all ages. Their drinks are nicely crafted cocktails so they are on the more expensive side of things. I found their drinks to be very tasty and we really enjoyed the ambience so it was worth it for us. We liked our drinks so much we went for seconds. I do recall my husband has one drink that literally tasted like a roasted marshmallow. Overall this is a great bar to visit while in the area.
Cool ambiance with great flow between inside and large new outdoor area. The DJ was awesome and cocktails were on point!
Great indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is fun and music isn't too loud to not hear each other. Drinks were good and well priced, too. Service was super quick. Granted, we came early on a Thursday evening, but still very happy with everything. This definitely won't be my last time here

Hi Alexandra,…
Mandarin Heights is such a vibe. The bartenders are accommodating and quick. The cocktails are well crafted and perfect for sipping while enjoying the scene. Came in a Friday night with some girlfriends and the vibes were vibing. The DJ keeps the energy up, and the whole place has that trendy yet laid-back feel. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, but keep in mind it's first come, first serve, so plan ahead if you want a good spot. The decor and setup make it a great place for photos, so don't be shy about snapping a few. Overall, it's the perfect spot for a night out when you want good drinks, good music, and good vibes. Definitely a go-to to hangout. read more

Ive never been here but the service I've received from Chris, smemar and Anthony was absolutely the best I've had. The way the all took care of me from my drinks to my water to my food. They are hard working and very efficient. Very great choice I wish these were my bartenders and bar backs back home. it is very impressive how they all handle a crowd. Management has to be amazing with these choosing because this is nothing like Orlando bartendering very impressive! read more

I came here after eating at a restaurant up the street. We were not ready to go home so we went to mandarin for more. They had a big outdoor indoor situation with lots of space and good music. The drinks are reasonably priced and the bartenders are attentive. I got the tequila based drink that is a little spicy. Very flavorful! This is a fun spot and you have to take a picture in the bathtub! read more

I always have such a great time here! The vibe is cozy yet fun. Whenever I come here on the weekend they have great music (it's mainly house/EDM which I love lol) & the drinks here are so good. It's the perfect place to hang out after dinner. read more
I find Mandarin Heights so adorable and charming but I'll only give 3 stars because of the service and the overall vibe. It has GREAT potential to be better. Oddly, the friendliest people with the most personality were the ones checking ID's at the door. There were 3 bartenders when I arrived around 6pm on a Friday and they were all as dry as sand paper personality wise... with everyone! It was kind of odd to sit inside at the bar because they were all so weird and the music was barely above a whisper. Who wants to have a Friday night happy hour in silence?? Other than that, the decor on the outside was very photo opp welcoming. Each seating area was cute and very "amazing weather in Florida" vibes. The inside was very dark and a polar opposite contrast. There were random animal heads mounted on the walls on the inside with flamingos everywhere outside. Onto the cocktails... all as tasty as they were cute! I'd for sure come back and try more of the menu. Especially because it was shockingly low traffic for it to be a Friday. I loved not being shoulder to shoulder with other patrons. There is no food available. read more
The Basics: Mandarin Heights is a cocktail bar located in Seminole Heights in Tampa. You need to present an ID and, once inside, there is outdoor and indoor seating, in addition to seating at the bar. The atmosphere in Mandarin Heights is what I would call "Instagram-able" with grass on the walls, fun paintings all over, and a bathtub that I saw many get into and take pictures with their drinks. Things I like: The cocktails here are wonderful! There is a large variety to choose from and there is something for everyone. I watched as cocktails were made and they were all beautiful and made with so much care. I ordered the Nolet's Nectar and I LOVED it, so delicious and easy to drink. I also tried the LAAIIDDD BACCCKKKK and that was great too (and very pretty with a flower on top and aesthetic paper straw). I really loved the cocktails here and I am excited to try more. I also enjoyed that when we arrived here on a Sunday afternoon there was plenty of seating all around. Things I didn't like: The music was very loud and a bit overpowering. It was the only thing I didn't love about this spot. The music had club vibes, which was odd since we were there at 3:00 in the afternoon. It would be nice to have some chill music for the daytime and a switch to more club-style music when it gets later at night. Due to the music being so loud, we sat outside and it was still overpowering and made it difficult to hold a conversation. Overall, a great spot for craft cocktails that are both beautiful to look at and delicious. I am excited to return. read more
I absolutely love this place! I had heard so many great things about Mandarin that I had to see and try it for myself. There's a lovely outdoor patio area as you walk in and a separate indoor area. We sat inside at the bar and had several cocktails. The bartender was super nice, conversed a bit and made us some off the menu drinks that were quite good. read more
Mandarin Heights has been on my list for a while now. It has the Instagram famous bathtub that I always wanted to take a pic in lol. So I went with a couple friends for a drink. I have been to the bodega before, but if you're not looking, you'll miss the entrance to Mandarin Heights. It is located around the back of the bodega only giving you a passage way(it is kind of hidden) to a completely different vibe and ambiance. Upon entering I thought this was such a cute hideaway bar/lounge. They have an outdoor setting as well as in indoor with a bar and extra tables inside. The ambiance is amazing, even in the bathroom and when we went on a Thursday they had live music playing. Their specialty cocktail menu was unique and priced reasonably I thought. I ended up getting the Flamingo fizz and the Nolet's Nectar. Both were really good. Sweet but light and refreshing. The issues I had with this place however was that parking WILL be difficult after a certain time and it is a very tight, small lot. Also, I thought the service was really slow. At the bar, I stood waiting to be acknowledged for almost 15 minutes. Then, I literally said "Hello" almost 10 times before someone responded and I thought that was rude especially since the bar was not packed AT ALL and especially because there were other people who came to the bar after me, said their order, got their drink, and left before I could even get someone's attention. For those reasons, I have to give 3 stars. But everything else was great and I might go back again. read more

Fun experience. Unique drinks. Fantastic talented bartenders! Delicious Old Fashions and Expresso Martinis read more
Sooo Mandarin Heights during the day is a chill vibe. We order food from the Bodega and sat inside Mandarin Heights which no one gave us a hard time about. The bartender came over and provided a drink menu. The decor was so eye catching we kept finding new things while looking around. Reminds me of a speakeasy type of environment. I'm sure at night it's even better! I really enjoyed their drinks and the ambiance. I will need to come at night! What was ordered: Bartender's choice with vodka Bartender's choice = They know what they are doing! Loved it read more
This is such a great spot to grab cocktails with friends. The interior is super cute and they have a tub that serves for the perfect instagram photo. They make really awesome drinks that are super unique. There is also a small outdoor patio area that is great to chill at especially during summer nights. They also make one of my favorite espresso martinis in town. read more
We had two rounds of drinks for 4 people. All of them were amazing. Round one was two Flamingo Fizz, a Morgan Melons, and a Neon Indian. Neon Indian was magically amazing. So. Freaking. Good. The coconut fat-washed whisky?!?!? Yes, absolutely. Second round was Lion's Tooth (it was on fire!!), Ring of Fire (not overly spicy, but a very pleasant heat), Sugar Plum Fairy, and a Lay Your Cards Out. I ordered the Lay Your Cards Out, and it was quite tasty. Beautiful presentation (on all the drinks, tbh, but I loved the card on the little clothes pin). Atmosphere was great. Very cool inside feel. My only two complaints. First, the corner with the bathrooms is pitch black, which makes it hard to find the right bathroom. Literally, it's a 33% shot, because there are three doors in the corner, and it's impossible. Other complaint, the service was meh. It is as a Sunday early evening, and and not that busy, and we sat at the bar, and it was still pretty slow. All 4 of us were looking at empty glasses for a hot minute before we were able to order our second round. It wasn't terrible, it was just a little bit slow. read more
This place did nothing for me. We came here as a must do rec in Tampa from tik tok and instagram & even Yelp reviews but honestly its a tiny spot, cute with loud electronic music (which I don't mind the genre), but its so loud you can't even talk, it has very few spots to sit and the bartenders do their job but its just that. Come for a cute pic, decent drink but we left in 30 minutes with a full house. It looks like a good first date spot where you're uncomfortable & don't want much effort to break the ice. The drinks were good, can't complain about it but not enough to stay longer. We regretted leaving the first spot of our bar hopping adventure. read more
Did Tony Stark's arch nemesis set up shop in Seminole Heights? MH is hard to see from the street in that it is attached to Bodega and occupies the same parking lot. Once you park, you walk through a ramp, and you're in MH. MH is a bar with tables/chairs on one half and the other part is an uncovered patio area. There are mixed drinks, wines, beer. IIRC, there is no food. Mixed drinks range from $10-14. I I was meeting an old friend to catch up and I got the Texas Rose and I forgot er drink, but it sure looked pretty lol. My drink was great and medium strength and hers was very strong. Even though this on a Sunday at 6 pm, there was a good vibe. Service was decent. I wish they could started our order sooner, but other than that no big complaints. While there is a parking lot, it is shared with Bodega so I'm sure Fri/Sat nights will be difficult to get parking. I would come back in the future since its one of the few cool places thats not all the way in downtown and not too far from the USf area (25 minutes for me). read more

I came here with my friends who live in Seminole Heights who told me this was their FAVORITE bar in Tampa, and wow it did not disappoint! The decor is super funky and interesting with pictures of anthropomorphic animals hung around and some animal heads. They have tables inside and out, as well as some comfy couches in the back area. The cocktail options, which are their specialty, were AMAZING! I got a drink special with gin that was perfectly balanced. The drinks DID take a while to make, but if you think about all the work that goes into making 4 specialty cocktails each with multiple ingredients it makes sense but you just have to be prepared. Added bonus, when we went they also had a really fun DJ playing with great music! read more
