Only one of it's kind! An all year round Halloween Bar. The people who work here and owner is really down to earth. Speaking of down, there is a downstairs basement the catacombs where they have full bar. The upstairs has food and sober bar. So much Horror surroundings. Been here over 20 times. There was only one place somewhat similiar in orlando but that is gone now so this is it you have to come here. Check it out! read more

A little overpriced but the food items and drinks all tasted pretty good, we decided to go for my friends birthday and the bartenders and servers where nice to us the entire time, the gothic vibe was awesome to take pictures in, we got to play board games the whole time and eat and drink. The bathrooms where incredible with a giant plant in the girls bathroom and a kooky vending machine. read more

Esrom is an absolute standout at Spookeasy Kava Bar. We were initially told by the bouncer that we had to leave because there wasn't a place to store my electric scooter. Esrom caught wind of the situation and immediately went out of his way, came outside, and told us he would personally store my scooter so my girlfriend and I could come in and enjoy drinks. That level of care is rare. He didn't have to do that -- but he chose to. On top of that, once we were seated, he brought us games to play and made sure we were having a great time. It's extremely uncommon to see someone who genuinely cares about their job and the customer experience to this extent. Esrom is a huge asset to this establishment, and that kind of hospitality doesn't go unnoticed or forgotten. Because of him, we'll absolutely be back. read more

Okay, so, I loved the SpookEasy, but the bar downstairs, they need to get rid of the terrible leprechaun bartender. My girlfriend and I were in town for a show and I was looking forwarding to continuing to have a good time, but when we made it downstairs, unbeknownst to us, it is EXTREMELY frowned upon to have your own water bottle. Literally laughing out loud as I write this review. So myself and my friend, both (almost) 40 year old women, walk up to the bar to check out the menu. The bartender walks up to us and gets instantly pissed that my friend was holding a water bottle from our hotel room. He proceeds to put a can of Liquid Death on the bar and open it. In my mind, I'm like, ohh, how sweet! Well he must have said something as he did that about how you can't have outside 'drinks'. My friend naively starts chugging the water to get rid of it. The bartender almost jumps from behind the bar to escort us out. Meanwhile, I'm just like wtf happened?! As we try to ask him, he was extremely rude and proceeded to treat us like criminals and kicked us out. Walking away, we were more confused than anything. It's so unfortunate because we were ready to buy drinks and have a good time. What a crappy ending to our night. read more

This place is worth a visit just based on the unique vibes. We had already been drinking that day so we didn't get to try the kava. They seemed to have a minimal selection of actual alcohol. My husband and I had different types of sangria. He said they used almost every bottle behind the bar to make them. His was gross and tasted like punch from a cheap fraternity. I had the red one and I thought it was fine. The entrance and the bathrooms are pretty run down but I still recommend you stop in and check this place out. All the staff were very nice too. read more

A unique, one of a kind cafe/tea house/lounge/bar that is not to be missed in Tampa. As the name suggests, the decor is incredibly spooky, featuring scary statues, pictures that change on the walls, and furniture that looks like it all belongs in a haunted house...all located in renovated former Baptist church. But other than being one scary venue, Spookeasy has food and drinks that are worth hanging around for while you take in the spookiness of the place. A full coffee bar, they already have my name on it, but they also feature sandwiches, snacks, salads, and other bar food. While I came here for a Death Cafe event, I decided to make myself comfortable by getting myself some food and lattes. Thankfully, the place serves up food that makes a visit here worth more than just a quick look around. I got myself a hot marshmallow flavored latte, and a breakfast sandwich. The latte was delicious, and I loved the marshmallow flavor I got with it to give it a more unique taste perfect for winter. It gave me just the right kick while I waited for my event to start. The breakfast sandwich seems simple enough, bacon, eggs, cheese on toast, but each ingredient was thoughtfully prepared to make one filling meal. I can tell the egg is fresh cracked and the bacon was perfectly crispy, all held together by two slices of thick toast. I also loved the fries that came with it, well seasoned with cheese sauce AND melted cheese, so I was pretty occupied and well fed during my meeting. The staff here is great, laid back, and super-friendly to talk to. They have a good vibe about them that makes me want to come back to haunt--er visit them, haha, Death Cafe meeting or not. read more

Came here on a Sunday just to check it out. Had I known this was right next to the Castle, I would've used this as a little pregame spot. Aesthetic is super cool if you're into horror movie/spooky vibes. I ordered a beer but my friends got different drinks which were pretty good. Can't really judge the service too well since it was a Sunday and there were only a few people inside but we got our drinks quickly. Definitely recommend this place as a cool pregame spot for the Castle, Friday/Saturday are definitely the days to slide here. read more

Love this place and have only gone twice! Anytime i think of visiting ybor I always think of going here. The bartenders are amazing and the whole place is filled to the roof with horror and gothic decor. Thrones and skeleton chandeliers along with spooky cups and drinks to match. They do movie nights which we only got to see a bit of but it was a fun place to hang. I got the chicken sandwich which was delicious. read more

Best lounge area ever! Friendly for those under 21 as well. Food- The upstairs area is where the 18+ can hang out and order food and cava drinks. No alcohol! The downstairs is where the 21+ hang out where alcoholic beverages are available. The food and drinks are fair price. We had the tenders and they were great. I ordered a cava drink when I first went (I was 20) and they were great. It came in a cute skull glass and I ended up having 3. When I came back for the catacombs (finally 21!) I had the rocket pop and it was amazing. Service- Everyone is so sweet and cool. When we first arrived the bouncers are nice and do their ID checks. If you're 21+ you get a wrist band but under 21 gets the magical Xs on your hands and guided to the upstairs area. The tenders upstairs are amazing, they explain the drink menus and I remember talking to one of them about tattoos. The bartenders in the catacombs are awesome amazing. One of them explained the rocket pop and guided us through a memorizing tour. He explained the origins of the Rocket Pop drink and the different layers. Ambience- you first enter this lounge, the music has you tapping your feet, shaking your head to the beat. The decor catches your eyes, as you go upstairs and see the giant statues and amazing furniture. You sit down and take a few sips of your cava and feel no need to get up for a while, while you hang out with your buddies. The lighting is soft not too dark not too bright. The catacombs call your name, you go down 2 flights and you're surrounded by more beautiful decor, it fits the alternative vibe. There's a DJ area where you can make song requests. There's also a corner booth by a big projector, where you get to listen to the songs you love while watching the music video. We will be back read more

The service is always top notch here- I love that it's all ages until 6pm during the week and has awesome themed events like game night and karaoke. The food is fine- they're continually updating their menu and have lots of options for a variety of tastes. Definitely one of my favorite places in Tampa. read more

SpookEasy Lounge - Even the littlest enjoys hot cocoa and cookies - Tea Rooms Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Went up stairs and it's beautifully decorated. The women at the bar said that if we drink we shouldn't drink Kava as well so we just looked and then went downstairs. Downstairs is a 5$ cover fee which is no problem for all night entry. The man has made a comment on my friends chest size saying it " could knock him into the wall with those" very inappropriate but we let it slide. I got one drink I think vampires kiss and it was great and the ambience is gothic with a dj that night and I loved the music. We never come to the ybor area so first time out, in Saint Pete bars you can go in the restroom with multiple people ( unless stated) We didn't see a sign and there wasn't someone to guard the bathrooms. My one friend had finished and the other was still seated and I had my skirt on backwards and wanted to fix it. In the midst of almost being done and coming out a man who I didn't see at the bar or the door just came yelling at us the get out of the bathroom. My friend who was finished exited to tell him we were just pulling up our pants and we'd be right out. He kept yelling and trying to push past my friend to open the door as I'm frantically zipping my skirt quickly and she's fixing her tights. ( our outfits were a bit more elaborate than usual and mind we were only In there for maybe 5 mins before he burst in) It escalated very quickly to him yelling at us to get "$&@#" out of the bar. The door man then accompanied him in calling us obscenities and yelling. He accused us of doing coke and called us many names after we tried to explain why we couldn't all just step out of the bathroom when he first asked. First and last time back. We also were there for a birthday and had a large group of 12 people and had been there for hours before hand. They were regulars to the establishment as well. read more

I discovered this place while watching a YouTube channel. My wife and I were intrigued, so we decided to check it out. There's limited street parking available, along with public parking directly across the street. Additionally, a parking garage is located just two blocks away. The atmosphere here is haunting and Gothic, almost reminiscent of a spooky museum. It's definitely a spot where you'll want to snap plenty of photos. Upon entering, you'll notice both an upstairs and a downstairs. The upstairs area appears to have much more to see compared to downstairs. They offer a variety of board games for entertainment that you can enjoy while you're there. I ordered a taco salad, and I can honestly say it was fantastic; I really enjoyed it. My wife opted for a Love Potion cocktail, which was also quite good. The staff is friendly and welcoming. While we were there, they had some sort of drawing class happening, with a few ladies posing for the artists. Initially, we were uncertain about this place, and to be honest, my wife had her doubts, so we almost didn't go in. But I'm so glad we did! We will likely add this place to our list of go-to spots for relaxing, grabbing a bite, enjoying a drink, and playing some tabletop games. read more

Decor is beautiful and amazing. Chairs were comfy. Service was quite slow on a weekday night and it was difficult to find somewhere to sit as it's very limited. Most the drinks are 21+ but doesn't give a clear reason why. For those who can't imbibe anything drug-related even if legal, this made me feel uncomfortable to try anything. If the menu was updated I would definitely come back when it's not busy. read more

SpookEasy is a neat spot for niche clientele. We walked by and wanted to check it out so we paid $10 cover to enter both portions of the venue which was a cava bar with no alcohol and then downstairs was a traditional bar. Both areas were very well decorated, going with the "spooky" theme. I think I enjoyed the Cava bar upstairs more, the decor was on another level compared to downstairs. We had a quick drink and moved on but it was a neat little spot to visit! read more

Great spot to chill, especially if you're into spooky, horror themed restaurants. They serve cava upstairs and if you're looking for spirits or alcohol, that can be found downstairs in their sister bar The Catacombs. We went for dessert and it was just sooo delicious. Hoping to make it here for brunch soon! read more

Would give 0 stars if it was an option. No cover charge but was rudely told by the bartender we had to buy drinks as they pointed to a QR code. As DD I was not interested in kava kratom alcohol or $7 canned water. Charge cover if you're that down bad. Just like other reviews on Yelp and Google mentioned, not sure why a male employee needs to enter the women's bathroom when there's multiple females in there using it?? There was only 1 person per stall as per the multiple signs plastered around the bathroom. Very unsafe and aggressive staff. The person with the dark hair was so rude telling us we had to get out & we were also accused of being ICE agents? Didn't spend a penny at the establishment and so happy I didn't. This place is weird and the workers are weird. Bad energy and vibes all around. read more

One of the must uniquely decorated venues I've ever been to! It felt like I was walking into a set of a scary movie or Halloween-esque bar. I had the Audrey IIX (which according the bartender is one of the most popular drinks) and I can see why. It was very tasty and came in the cutest skull cup (in theme of course). My boyfriend had a Kratom tea and although it wasn't my cup of tea ;) he really enjoyed it. My drink was infused with Delta-8 and I didn't really feel much but it was still enjoyable. Overall, it was a unique place with a wide variety of kava, kratom and infused drinks and I would come back! read more

This was recommended by the concierge at my hotel when I told them I was coming to Ybor City. It is gimmicky but fun (check out the photos). The seats are very comfy, the decor is cool and they make great cocktails. I was curious to try the Kava...next time. I was there earlier in the evening and it was empty and hot inside. Cool staff! read more

Absolutely love this place. I'm not a big horror movie type of guy so I'm not familiar with the horror movie references. None the less, the ambiance is impressive even for me. The kava-tender provided excellent service, he was very helpful in explaining some of the items on the menu. I also enjoyed how Kava and Kratom are not the only options on the menu, they also offer a delta 8 drink which is completely new to me. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and a great vibe. read more

Had an amazing experience here overall. We came in a Saturday afternoon and found very friendly staff and good drinks. The horror themes and gothic style is done just right.

Super nice staff and the Catacombs place below was so much fun. Good food menu as well.

I love this place! I'd been wanting to check this spot out for a while now and the chance came up as I was walking late night in Ybor with a friend. The vibe in this place is very thoughtfully crafted. Clearly, this is targeting an alt crowd. It'd be very comfortable to go hang out at The Castle and then go here for drinks, coffee, and/or food. The vibes are similar. Dark, moody, heavy metal and rock, gothic vibes. I loved it! I ordered the Florida Man Wings. Very tasty. Well-cooked. Staff was very, very friendly. Just cool peoples. The upstairs was so freaking cool. That's their sober area. I'll definitely be returning to spend time up stairs and check out their other food offerings. read more

I happened to be strolling the streets of Ybor yesterday after hearing a friend say there was a place that does karaoke on Wednesdays and the songs are chosen at random and not by the participant. This sounded like my kinda chaos so I wanted to stop in to see what else the place has to offer. I discovered it used to be a speakeasy and is now a bar downstairs and a cava lounge upstairs. I had no clue what cava even is so my friend and I decided to give it a try. We landed on trying kratum instead. Our server was so helpful and knowledgeable about what types of drinks we'd want for the specific moods we were trying to achieve and the flavors we wanted to taste. We both tried "hybrid" drinks that she told us was a mixture of an upper and a mellowing affect and that any alcohol we'd consume(d) in a 4 hour window would have a more euphoric affect. We left and had a couple martinis and IDK if it was a placebo effect or what but I could see this being a great caffeine replacement or even a replacement for people who like to smoke tobacco after drinking to heighten the effects. read more

The spook easy lounge has been on my list for a while. Finally had the opportunity since we were in Tampa for gasparilla. The new location is still in Ybor city and took over the location of the old cereal bar. It is upstairs on the second floor. It's nicely decorated inside with everything dark and scary. I ordered a hot passion flower lavender tea with white chocolate syrup. My boyfriend ordered a kava drink. I usually never put syrup in my teas but my tea was delicious. The mixed the tea leaves together. You can mix and match a few flavors. I was not a fan of kava but my boyfriend enjoyed his drink. We played card games while we enjoyed our drinks. There is no alcohol served upstairs. There is a downstairs spooky bar that does serve alcohol. The spookeasy lounge is a great place to hang out if you are into Halloween or scary things year round. read more

I am OBSESSED with SpookEasy! This is easily one of the coolest businesses I have ever set foot in! Are you a lover of goth spooky horror etc. just like me, not to mention enjoying all that delicious darkness with a side of cocktails? Then SpookEasy fell out of your wildest dreams too. WHAT a place. Two floors of absolute M O O D. The decor in SpookEasy is perfection, a love letter to horror and goth that is campy but not one bit lame or Halloween-storey. Upstairs in the large space is a tea and kava bar - sipping a delicious tea drink called Death on the Beach from a skull shaped glass that I set down on a glass coffin with a blood soaked vampire inside? Is this reality? Yes it is, and it gets even better because the employees are a pack of hardcore hotties, and the music playing is the setlist of your most vampiric dreams - Bauhaus, The Cure, Type O Negative. Your black heart will swoon. Oh but it gets even better. Downstairs you step into the Catacombs, where the music is louder and heavier, the walls are lined with skulls, and the bar is open. I adored their Vampires Kiss cocktail, with VNV Nation and Lords of Acid playing overhead, and huge screens showing Saw and Beetlejuice to add to the visual mood. These are my people, and they didn't miss a single detail or opportunity to be an all encompassing experience. Every future visit to the Tampa area will require a respite at SpookEasy - walk in the door, cover charge free, and tumble into dark spooky heaven! read more

So, this is actually located within the The Stone Soup Company. I had no idea at first and sat at that bar instead and got a drink and looked around and was thinking, "This isn't spooky at all." Low and behold, I was in the wrong area! (Note: The Stone Soup Company has a super potent Devil's Old Fashioned.) Anyways, this speakeasy is unique because it doesn't specialize in alcoholic drinks, but rather in non-alcholic kava and kratom. Pretty much, they are herbs that have either a sedative or stimulating effect. Anyways, pretty cool to check out and you'll get your drink in a skull!! Definitely Instaworthy!! read more

This place was pretty cool. We went on Saturday night around 10ish. Downstairs is a bar that serves alcohol. They had a much smaller menu than I had seen online. The other people in my party had drinks and enjoyed them. It's an interesting, mixed crowd. It's definitely a goth vibe. We then went upstairs to the apothecary room. Here they serve some food and drinks with cavan kratom and Delta 9. I had the Sinister Sider, and my husband had the Wolfskinn Mead. Both were amazing. We also tried the scone, chocolate chip cookie and praline. The scone and cookie were cold and meh. They seemed prezpackaged. The decor upstairs is cool...lots of stuff to look at.
