This is my bar and there's a very special reason for this review. This bar has been in existence…read moreunder the Tap Room name since 2009 and it's always been a smoking bar. I'm a non-smoker but I tolerated it because I enjoyed the people and the other aspects of the atmosphere. After 15 years, as of January 1st, the Tap Room is now NON-SMOKING! My lungs are very happy! Management is taking steps to remove as much of the odor as they can. Other than this big news, this is your typical dive bar- * Cheap drinks * TouchTunes Jukebox * Pool tables and dart boards * Occasional live entertainment * No food other than packaged snacks Pro Tip- They have a back entrance with easy parking. It's not fancy but it's used more than the front door! Note that the parking lot is a disaster and needs to be repaved. Drive in slowly! Atmosphere- Like many dive bars, the crowd varies from day to night. The crowd is older and more sedate during the day and younger and a bit rowdier at night. The TouchTunes jukebox is extremely popular here with many folks using the app on their phones. Genres played are mostly Classic Rock and Country with a little Pop occasionally thrown in. The bar is very large and is a bit unusual as there are both low and high chairs in different sections. Note that many of the low chairs desperately need to be replaced so choose carefully where you sit your thirsty ass down! Adult Libations- The big joke is the Tap Room has no taps! That's right, no drafts here but plenty of mostly domestic bottles and a full liquor bar. Bartenders- This place has 5 bartenders plus an excellent manager that often tends bar. The bartender's range in age from 30s to 70s. They are generally decent with some more conversational than others. Now that's NON-SMOKING, I'd love to give it 5 stars but the parking lot and the collection of crappy chairs hold me at 4!

I had the BLT and it was piled high, albeit they were extremely thin slices (I did not know it could be done, sliced so thin, to be honest), but the flavors were there and I enjoyed it very much. I had the in-house potato chips, which were barely okay. Next time I will upgrade to the onion rings, like my wife did, which were very good. Her fish sandwich consisted of a singular solid filet which was amazing. She liked it very much. The beer we consumed was ice cold and came out in seriously frosted mugs. Two thumbs up there! The prices were excellent, as far as I am concerned.

It's a cool bar but I've always been disappointed in the food unfortunately. The entertainment they…read morebring is excellent so we keep coming back but every time we are disappointed with our food. The waitresses are very nice and attentive. The price is high for the quality of food being pushed out of the kitchen but if you want great entertainment, watch a game and have a beer this is the place to be. This last time we order "the special" Bourbon BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos... there was absolutely nothing special about them. It was some meat thrown on some chip. Do not recommend it. Very disappointing.

Great wings! I wish they were more consistent with the wing sauces but overall the wings are great.read more

It was a great place to watch the game and the bartender was very friendly and he made great drinks. The food was also good as hubby had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and I went with the Cheese Quesadilla. The space is really big and they have a lot of TV's and for those who play pool they have that as well. If we lived closer this would be our sports bar for sure.

I visited this place after finishing my daily exercises at the park. This place was close by, and I…read morehave to say, my experience was very positive. Immediately after you pass the entrance, you're greeted with the comforting embrace of the cool A/C that relieves you of the unforgiving Florida temperatures. The area is mostly dark, illuminated by several layers of lighting ranging from the neon lights of the arcade cabinets to the dim warm lights of the chandeliers, creating a welcoming and restful atmosphere. Seating is plentiful and plush, allowing you to get comfortable with ease. Customer service was decent, but one issue is that at times the bar stand is unattended even when not busy and there is no way to alert staff that you're there. However, the staff were polite and courteous. There are several arcade cabinets of different genres, pool tables, and a ping pong table. The entertainment options are vast and varied, making it difficult to find yourself bored during your stay. If I had to suggest one thing, it would be placing some device that allows you to alert staff that you're there, such as a bell. Another suggestion would be to add a smart fridge vending machines that allow you visitors access to non-alcoholic beverages such as water, soda, or juice. This would be especially convenient for visitors like me who're not interested in alcohol and want a quick grab and go beverage. The Dogpound Sports bar fulfills its goals well, providing a comfortable space that serves as a great rest spot and entertainment center and is a great break spot for anyone coming from intense exercise or trying to escape Florida's heat like I was.
