Ozy's Tavern is one of the best spots in Venice for great drinks, solid food, and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. Perfect place to catch a game or just hang out with friends. Huge shout-out to Logan, the bartender/manager. Friendly, attentive, remembers your drink, and runs the bar like a pro. She makes everyone feel welcome and keeps things moving even when it's busy. If you're in Venice and want good vibes with even better service, Ozy's is the place. read more

Avery is serving us at the bar. We both order the wing special. People that ordered after, had their meals. When we asked, her reply was the cook didn't drop the right amount of wings so would be a couple minutes. Never the work SORRY was in her vocabulary. So busy talking to regulars. When my order arrived, not piping hot but shortly after hubby order came and steaming. Again no apology or sorry. Best was when asking for check, the POS didn't offer custom tip. 20% was more than deserved, even with the one on the house beer for hubby. And not able to provide a hard receipt. System supposedly hasn't been totally updated or other excuse. So obvious a manager was NOT on property. read more

This is the former Florida Tap House. We went there before (FTH) and the food was terrible as was the service. The good news now with Ozy's, the service was great! Our server was super nice and attentive. (Hence 2 Stars) Sadly, the food situation is not much different. The burger was way overcooked and clearly a previously frozen patty. The chicken in the chicken Caesar salad was the saltiest chicken we ever tasted and dry as a bone. Apparently not the same ownership (rebranded) from what we were told. It's a great location, clean facilities, decent bar with large tap beer offerings and good TV situation. I certainly hope over time they will greatly improve the kitchen quality. read more

Stopped into Ozzie's, had a delicious meal with fast service. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.

We were driving by and saw Ozy's Tavern, which caught our eye. This was a very cute tap house with a large bar. We sat on their patio with our dog. I must say the Service was outstanding and I'm gonna say excellent. We ordered the buffalo hot wings for an appetizer. They were pretty good and very wet we then ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. I thought it was delicious. My wife did too,however, it was too hot for her so I ended up eating her most of her wrap. I had an American IPA. The beer was really tasty but was a little pricey ($12 each). My advice would be to ask for the price before ordering. we will definitely go back. I was told the Reuben sandwich was the best in Venice. We'll see. read more

We made a reservation for a fairly large party, but upon arrival were met with some confusing conversations about why we were there despite having a reservation. After being seated, it became quite warm inside, so we asked to move outside. The host, Lisa, was absolutely wonderful--she went out of her way to make sure our group was comfortable and had everything we needed. While the service was generally attentive, there were a few comments that made us feel like our group was an inconvenience. That said, the food and drinks were excellent. The espresso martinis were great, and the gluten-free options were outstanding--especially the gluten-free flatbreads, which were a highlight of the night. Overall, it may have just been an off night, but while the food was fantastic, the overall vibe felt a bit off. read more

Went to Ozy's in Wellen Park last night. not a tavern atmosphere and $10.00 for a beer! Nothing has really changed from the previous operation including the menu. We had hoped it might be our local but so many things not working. the food was good when we finally got it. It is not a place I can't wait to go back to. Seating is not comfortable, layout not workable, too many items on the menu that are not appealing, staff tried but don't know if they ever got any training. After reading the other reviews it would appear that they are always short staffed in the kitchen or the cook can't keep up. read more

Was very disappointed on service and staff on Cinco day. Food was mediocre at best but staff who looked festive was very blasé and just going through the motions. Free salsa and chips were on menu but no one offered- no smiles- the Rueben sandwich was very minimal and quesadilla was ok. Very disappointing since we don't get a chance to eat out often. No one even said good bye or hope to see you soon. Ozy's could take some training from John Tafford( Bar Rescue) on how to be great waitstaff. read more

Food is excellent! All the staff here were great. Really friendly and helpful. Logan was our server. She was excellent and worked so hard. We'll ask for her again when we come back read more

Service was delightful. They let us know they were short staffed, but they did a great job. Delicious wings and fresh chips.

Ordered the Caesar Salad and it was far from it. The Dressing tasted awful. The overwhelming taste of vinegar instead of anything else turned me right off. I ate the grilled chicken and the little pieces of cheese. I had asked for extra cheese but that was nowhere to be found. They only had ONE SERVER for the whole dinning room which was busy. She was good and did her best but we kept having to wave her down. Not good. Overall atmosphere was good. I did not pick this place and would not return. read more

TERRIBLE DRINKS AND FOOD! Bartender completely untrained and rock gut liqueur. Manager's attitude is horrible and she's intent on being right not being nice to customer. Very overpriced for bar food. Soggy chips. This place WILL NOT LAST! HORRIBLE! read more

Love Ozzy haven't been in a while because of their hour changes now I see their back to their regular hours. We will certainly be going back. Love the staff love the food love to cook and his girlfriend. See you soon. read more

The food was incredible and the service was even better!! Avery was the best. They posted a sign about being short staffed and while I noticed Avery running around throughout the duration of our dinner, her service to our table remained constant! 10/10 food and service! Will definitely be back! BIG plus was the AC was bumping and the atmosphere was fresh and overall very enjoyable! read more

My wife and I stopped by for lunch as we were here about a year ago when it was under a different owner. This time will be our LAST time. We were served water and placed out sandwich orders only to wait 45 minutes and a litany of excuses as to why our order was not ready. Our waiter refilled on water glass and said they were "short handed". If this was true, they should let people know when the arrive for lunch, that their order won't arrive until closer to dinner time. Great place to kill an afternoon if you have nothing better to do... but not for us. We left a couple of bucks on the table for the water but their management needs some better help to staff this place. What a waste. read more

Awesome atmosphere, service and food!!! I would one hundred percent recommend!! Easy access! read more

A dark (all black ceiling, walls) bar. Lack of service drove us to leave. Bartender yelling at us, asking why we're leaving when it was evident after waiting almost 15 minutes without service.... she stated "hey I'm only one person"..... Exactly! and and when the owners figure that out they may have more customers. read more

If you want to be fleeced out of your hard earned money you will love this place. They advertise that they have 60 beers on tap, Awesome. If you want to taste some to get an idea if you will like it before spending $12 or more on a beer, you will have to pay for them if you want to taste more than 2 half oz tastes. That is ridiculous! As for the service; We walked in and were told first thing that there was a 1 hour wait if we wanted any food, there were several customers in there but less than 25% full. we ordered and were waiting, some people who came in long after us ordered food and received it in roughly 5 to 10 minutes. read more

The place is under new owners. They invested in new decor, up graded staff, new menu and was very clean. The tap wall was 90% full with a good selection. The restrooms were spotless and we were there at 8pm. Big improvement over The Tap House. read more

Ozy's Tavern is under new management since October 2025. We gave it a try and have only great things to say about it. The food was outstanding and service could not have been better! We prefer wine to beer or cocktails, and were quite pleased with the varietals and quality. Give it a try! You will not be disappointed. read more

Called about happy hour, yes they said, great happy hour! Get there and ask about happy hr domestic beer specials (website said $2 off)..........THEY WERE OUT OF EVERY BEER ....wives asked for wines....happy hr price .....what do u u you know, they were out of wine also....Place has potential, but fuck them with the bait and switch.. fuck them read more

Where do I begin!!! Logan was absolutely amazing asset to Ozy's. It was my first time there and she was so attentive. She ran around took care of all of anyone in need. You are lucky to have a manager like Logan. I would be grateful to have her at the restaurants that I frequent in Massachusetts where I live full time. read more

We were seated promptly. The servers, Jason and Logan, were very knowledgeable about the menu. They both had great personalities and were very efficient. The restaurant has a nice cadence. Three of us ordered burgers. They were excellent. The other person in our party ordered a short rib specialty sandwich. She said it was excellent! We will be back! read more

Great food, service and staff. I tell all my friends to stop in when they're in the area.

Slow and poor service. Lime requested twice for beer never came. Not enough staff. Prices too high. Warm salad. Food good. No plans to come back anytime soon. read more

Service was fine, food was fine. While they do have a great selection of craft beer, the menu has no pricing. Was quite shocked when my pint of beer was $12.50. It was nothing special, just a basic brown ale. read more

Tried it first time Sunday. Burger and fries were very good. However, when I received my bill I found that there were no free refills on iced tea. $4.00 for each tea. If that was stated on the menu, I missed it. Since free refills are pretty much standard, I would recommend servers point that out to customers. read more

Ozy's is a great place for everyone great girls waiting on us friendly and professional food is great beer is cold very much recommended and lot of TVs for football watching read more

Walked in, place is 1/2 full. Can't put in orders. Excuse of takeout orders. Go elsewhere

Lots of taps but the beer is way overpriced. Food service is dreadfully slow, and was not worth the wait. Also make sure to check your itemized bill before paying on the hand held device - ours were missing the happy hour discounts. read more

Just left Ozy's. Have been going to the location in Wellen Park for years. I realize it now has new owers - it has changed ownership a few times. We have gone often since it became Ozy's. Tonight will be our last time. Madison our server was fabulous - so friendly. This review has nothing to do with her. We ordered wings to share with 2 different sauces. We were told we could do that. We got our order & one sauce was all flats the other all drums. Unfortunately we each wanted a mix of flats & drums. We asked why they weren't mixed - were told they should have been & that it just happened. Doesn't the chef see the wings before tossing them in the sauce? Why would they not mix them up if we did not request all flats or drums (which they charge $0.25 per wing). Asked if we could get a couple drums in the sauce that was all flats. The mgr (I think) told us we would have to pay extra for them to correct the order. She then told me to put the wing that was on my plate (which I took a bite out of) on the larger serving plate. She whisked the wings off & walked away. Very disappointed in the customer service there. Will not be back!! To add to the wings debacle, they were out of 15 beers. We were told they only replace the empty taps when all the kegs have been delivered. Who does that & stays in business. read more

The place is under new owners and has made a lot of upgrades. New decor, tap wall full, new menu. Staff was better. Colton was our server. Give the new owners an another try so they succeed. read more

It's a fun place to watch the games. They have a wall full of cold draft beers to try. Food is good and a friendly staff
