The minute you walk into this place you're transformed into an experience from the attention to detail to the craft cocktails that are made you look around and you find yourself in a total immersive experience of body, service, and attention to detail while they don't have food they have everything else you would ask for we highly recommend this place for all the reasons you want to come out and have a drink. Wait did I forget about the ambience they got grade tunes it's just a wonderful experience. read more

Still a great place to go for a beautifully crafted cocktail. I just love this bar area and lounge. I had an espresso martini, so delicious. They are also next to Bodega so if you get hungry you can eat there. Parking is available in the shopoing center or nearby street parking. read more

What a surprising little spot. Went there for $6 bourbon Wednesday last week and it surprised us. Really delicious, strong Old Fashioned. Great bartenders (friendly, excellent service) and absolutely wonderful vibe. Feels like an upscale cocktail bar in a big city like Washington, DC or New York City. My husband and I fell in love with it! So cozy, plenty of comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors (incl. a patio with indoor/putdoor bar) - both spaces so tastefully decorated without losing its "homey" vibe - really feels like your in someone's (bougie) home, but without any of the pretentiousness. Such a great value, romantic date spot sp Wednesdays! We'll be back! read more

My husband and I stopped by this place during a weekend getaway to Tampa. While the vibe was great, the drinks were pretty watered down and the service was subpar. For a bar only place, you would think that the bartenders would be friendly and look up every once in awhile to greet customers. You're constantly trying to get someone's attention to order a drink, and they aren't super friendly once it gets busier later in the evening. read more

This spot is kind of hidden, but that's not particularly a bad thing, I came here for a couple of drinks and had a great time. It wasn't too loud and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The bathrooms are cool, and the bartenders are real mixologists, it seems. They aren't just throwing stuff together. I'd definitely come back here read more

Mandarin Heights is about as trendy as they get but don't let that make you roll your eyes. Yes, the decor has the millennial aesthetic that is bound to attract people who only come for the photo BUT they have great drinks too people! I've ordered an old fashioned, a whiskey sour, a negroni and a couple of their signature creations that I can't quite recall the names of anymore - and I haven't had a bad drink yet. There's a ton of seating both indoor and outdoor and haven't had problems getting a seat, even at their busiest times. One of the biggest perks of getting a drink there is if you end up a bit too buzzed to drive, all of you have to do is go next door to Bodega for some delicious Cuban food to get you sobered up again LOL. Seminole Heights is home to be a bunch of cool places like Mandarin Heights so be sure to explore the area before or after your visit to this bar. read more

Mandarin Heights - Mandarin Melon and Aperol Spritz - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This is yet another neighborhood local hot spot within walking distance The Front Porch restaurant and the C House in the Seminole Heights neighborhood. It's been around for a couple years by now. Ever since then, they've been doing pretty well. This is on the same property as the Bodega cafe/restaurant. It's a very small location with limited parking, but serves it's purpose. It's essentially a cute little fancy bar and hang out place. The decor is charming with a flamingo theme. There's a lot of IG worthy photo ops throughout this place. One of the most popular that never fails seeing are people taking photos in/by the bathtub. They have live music here every now and then depending on the day and time. It makes for a nice little visit as a part of a hang out/bar hop along North Florida Avenue. They only serve drinks here. The drinks are a bit pricey here averaging around $13 per drink. You might want to budget your meals around this or eat ahead of time elsewhere. Wash your hands and stay safe! read more

This is of our favorite date night spots for a craft cocktail. Sometimes they're a little small, but they are oh so delicious.

This must be the place... With a bathtub, flamingos and cool cocktail drinks A world of paradox. I like! We came here on a low key Sunday early evening with perfect weather and hot to really take j all.the whimsical decor, and savor the crafty cocktails. I ordered Sofia Lore. With as lower alcohol & low calories but still delish, it's like Coke zero of craft cocktails? Hubs got a Mai Thai with a flower in it..he's secure with his manhood. read more

If you're into fabulous decorated bars this is definitely your place! Mandarin Heights has lots of photo opts. I'd recommend coming during the day for better photos but regardless, we loved our first visit! This bar is around 15 minutes or so from downtown Tampa. It's located within the Bodega restaurant, you'd head to the left after walking through the entrance. Plenty of glassy walls, fun neon art, and dapper flamingos to add to the playful vibe on the outside. The inside bar has more of a masculine feel but still decorated so beautifully. We visited around 6 pm on a Saturday, it wasn't too busy but there was still a crowd. Oh, the outside bar is also dog friendly, what a plus! Service was great, the bartender greeted us right after sitting at the bar. They have a good selection of cocktails ranging from $9 to $13. I ordered the Clover Club $10, which was a gin based cocktail with egg white, raspberry, vermouth and it was served up. My fiance ordered the Port of Buffalo $11, with Buffalo Bourbon, St Germaine, walnut bitters, ginger on the rocks. Both cocktails were made so well that the liquor didn't even taste too strong. I really enjoyed the Bourbon cocktail and I don't normally drink Bourbon. Flamingos, pink neon signs, grassy walls, striped umbrellas and marble...I just love the overall atmosphere at Mandarin Heights. I'll definitely be back next time we're in Tampa!! read more

We drove 20 miles to check out this place bc we had been to the sister location in St Pete. And we followed Apple Maps to the location and IT WAS NOT THERE! so either the sign is horrible, or maps is wrong, or they have closed. Disappointment to say the least. Tried calling the # and no answer, which says a lot as well... read more

My friend and I met here for drinks. The atmosphere was nice and the vibe is cool. There are a lot of people form the Seminole Heights neighborhood who frequent here. This inside decor is pretty and a good vibe. Mandarin Heights has a indoor and outdoor area. The outdoor area is cute and has decent seating. When my friend and I went there was a live musician. He was so loud and it was hard to hear each other talk. We were swirling outside at the bar and the musician was inside Mandarin Heights. The loud music made our experience not the best. I would stay away from Mandarin Heights in live music night. The drink menu is unique but pricey for Tampa. The drinks go up 16 dollars which is crazy expensive. This is not Chicago or NYC. The 12-16 dollar range price is adequate for a large city but not Tampa. No a fan of the price for the quality of drink you get. I ordered a Moscow Mule for 10 dollars. It was average and nothing special. My friend enjoyed the Flamingo or Florida Fizz. She enjoyed the drink but not the price. Overall, Mandarin Heights is a neat place in Seminole Heights. It is worth at least one visit. I would not make this place my go to place due to the sky high prices of the drinks. read more

This place is an ADORABLE spot! I absolutely love the ambiance and reminds me of the hip little spots in Miami. The decor is amazing and girlie, lots of Instagram worthy pics can be taken since there have props and LED lights with cute sayings everywhere, the have both and indoor and outdoor bar and play a cool mix of music. My only gripe is that the service can take pretty long but it's because their cocktails are so intricate and well designed that it takes them a while, I do wish they would find a way to be more efficient in making them because when it gets busy you can feel frustrating when they're taking their time garnishing drinks with flowers, but honestly I am okay with waiting because it really is a great place and I enjoyed the cocktails. read more

How cute is this little gem in Seminole Heights?! [Super cute]. This place is located next to Bodega. It's kind of a small entrance, and can be easily missed but there's someone standing outside waiting to id you before you go in. Right when you walk in, there's the infamous insta-worthy bathtub surrounded by grass walls and fun flamingo framed images. There's a relaxed patio backyard theme going on the outside area and then the inside is like a small, dark and chic lounge. This place gets pretty packed and seating inside is kind of limited here. My friends and I sat inside but I could barely hear them talking across the table to me with the loud music and crammed people talking, but that's expected at these trendy places in Tampa. Also, it helps that I love the music they play here :) The drinks here are great, the service is fast and overall, the place is a great hangout for date night or to chill with your friends. read more

Hip spot to get a cocktail. Some of the best bar tenders in the area. Great spot for dates or drinks with friends. Reasonable prices for the quality or service and drinks. I may be biased because I can walk here. We love to start or finish our nights here. Such a cool vibe in this place. Interesting detail but they always have amazing flower arrangements and many time when you walk in it smells like fresh flowers. This place is a Gem. Worth a drive for a great cocktail. read more

Is it just me or is everything I love about Mandarin Hide, everything I loathe about Mandarin Heights and vise versa? The atmosphere is definitely what this cocktail bar is all about. The cocktails are next. There are so many private spots to chit and chat and connect with your friends. Which is completely opposite of Mandarin Hide. And since you can talk with your group so easily the emphasis on chatty/cool bartenders isn't as high. The bar is probably one of the most fun spots in town. And not to mention most Instagrammable. Because of this awesomeness, the crowd it draws is kind of ~extra~ do we still say that? read more

High quality cocktails! Came on a Saturday afternoon with friends. Alex, our bartender took the time to explain the various options on the cocktail menu, helping make the best recommendation for our individual preferences. Ambiance is really nice. Can't wait to return! read more

The bartenders were really easy to talk to and just having real down to earth conversations with everyone. I ordered the Brooklyns Finest drink and it was really smooth. It's more of a slow sipper but really cute drink lol. I'm looking forward to coming back in the future to start my date nights. read more

This place is so beautiful. Came here based on yelp reviews, and I'm so happy I did. Walked in and the decor was beautiful, and then we were served by Sarah and Matty, they are so friendly and approachable, and professional at the same time. Love a place we can go to where the staff leaves an impression. They told us the best nights to come which is also a plus, they are an asset to the team. The bathrooms are impeccable, and the ambiance is amazing too. Will be back on a Friday to hang with my girls, and my fiancé will be back on a Wednesday for old fashions. Awesome establishment, and better staff. read more

If you get anything from this review it's that the Summer Solstice drink is yummy and refreshing. I came to Mandarin Heights to try it out with some friends. I totally got lost looking for this place that was tucked away inside Bodega. Just an FYI for those driving since my gps kept telling me I had arrived. We walked in and the bar was smaller than I thought and relatively busy. My group of 5 managed to get a table as another group was leaving. It took a while to order since it was busy but I got the summer solstice drink and I loved it! It was refreshing and the hint of cucumber made it my new favorite summer drink. I can imagine being poolside and having a few to cool off! One of the other things about Mandarin Heights is it's aesthetic. It was pretty eclectic and the tub at the entrance made from some silly photos. Just a recommendation that the bar is a little dark and could use some lighting. It was so dark we had to use our cellphone flashlights to read the menu. Overall MH is a cold vibe and had yummy drinks. They're pricey but delicious! read more

I liked it! The drinks were so unique and good. Everything else was very nice too and the seats outside were so chill.

This was my first time in Tampa, and the friend we were staying with suggested we go out here for our first night! We had no idea what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised but the cool and relaxing vibes. It's located in Seminole Heights next to Bodega, where you can get yourself some Cuban food. The place is decorated amazingly, with its foliage along the walls, and the pink flamingos adorned all around. There are a few tables inside, as well as some seating areas outside the bar. The ambiance is really what sets this place apart from your typical bar. It's got some great photo spots ~for the gram~. The bartenders were slammed, but never let it get to them. They took their time and made each of our drinks to perfection. The prices were reasonable, and the drinks were definitely worth it! I have never seen a bartender care so much about the presentation of their drinks. My boyfriend is a huge old fashion fiend, and he said it was one of the best ones he's had! I ordered the Lion's Tooth, and it was delicious (although I normally don't ever order gin drinks!) It's one of the trendiest bars I've been to with the classiest of cocktails. I would definitely recommend you give this place a try. You won't regret it! read more

Picked our favorite drinks before we got there. Then, with family and friends, did a taste test of the top 5. Blind Pig won best of and a few laughs with the single ladies ... "What's better than kissing a frog? .... Sucking up to a blind pig!!" LOL We did not tell Ryan, the darling bar tender, our little joke. He made amazing one-of-kind cocktails by request. Overall, just the artsy, upscale ambience we were hoping for. Topped only by libations that matched our laughter and great photo spots to make up stories about! Definitely worth a visit for a few rounds. read more

Absolutely love this place! Cool vibes and great bartenders. Spencer makes a mean espresso martini.

I've been dying to go to this spot for so long after seeing all the gorgeous pictures. I found out that Thursday they have great happy hour specials. So I decided to call up the girls and head out to see what all the fuss was about. FYI it is a little hard to spot some of us got lost you will see a sign for bodega and they share the building. Just go in and to the left. When you first walk in you have this bright outdoor area with flamingos everywhere the infamous bathtub and bird cage wall. The outdoor seating below the patio is pebbles so caution ladies in heels. The bar is dual sided and serves both inside and outside. The inside is gorgeous, dark, romantic, with a bit of whimsy. The Thursday night special was Moscow mules and you could get any type of Moscow mule. I first a vodka one refreshing cool crisp. Then I switched to a bourbon Moscow mule and man did that change the game. Still refreshing but more body. They have a ton of cocktails my friends got the wanderlust and I had a sip and it was delightful mezcal, lychee,kumquat, delicious. If you haven't been get a group of friends and go hang out in the cool vibes and swing over to bodega for late night eats afterwards. read more

Mandarin Heights is one of my favorite places in Seminole Heights! I love the fact that you can grab a delicious bite to eat at Bodega next door and then finish the evening off with a couple of cocktails. The theming throughout the space is pretty unique and the atmosphere is fun! Between the bath tub right by the entryway and all of the flamingos and foliage there's plenty of cute photo spots if that's you're thing! My only complaint: The first time I came here it took a second to figure out where the entrance was, but that could definitely be more a "me" problem than a "them" problem. read more

Always a great spot to grab cocktails any day of the week or weekend if you are in the area! They are located on the side of Bodega with a shared parking lot. They add new craft cocktails regularly. There is one bar and seating is both indoor and outside with the whole thing as an open concept (don't come here looking to sit in the AC) & it can get quite packed on weekend nights but they are also open Sundays during the day. I got the limited time pistachio mai tai which was quite strong pistachio flavor wise. Overall they have great cocktails and very Instagram worthy aesthetic-make sure to jump in the tub for a photo! read more

First time going to Mandarin Heights and i was blown away when I went and seen it. We came here for New Years Eve and met up with a few friends. When you first walk in, it doesn't seem like much but it was still nice. There were two bars, one straight ahead and one to your left. Then there was a live band playing which was great for music. For New Years Eve they had people rolling cigars and another mini bar on the other side. Then I figured out there were more areas besides when you first walk in. There is a great photo opp with a tub that everyone takes pictures in and then there is another larger bar with seating and more patio style seating right behind it. At this part you can be inside or outside and they have a couch on the inside off to the side which would be cool for a mini private party. They had balloons everywhere along with a small champagne tower. For New Years Eve the tickets included open bar and they had good cocktails to choose from but you could also make your own drink and they had a couple people walking around with food. The food was mini Cuban sandwiches and a pork and rice bowl. However, they didn't go around often so I was on the search for food frequently. Great place and is nice on the inside. I will be back to see it during the day or go there and hang out in the evening on the weekends. read more
