    Awesome shots! This place was small but offered a fun relaxed vibe. They have speciality shots including PB&J and starburst! They also had some games that you could sit and play at your table

    I like this bar because it's super laid back, they don't try to cater to the Tampa bay influencer crowd. Lots of drinks to choose from. Also they maximized their outdoor space and the inside flows to the outside with a large window for people to sit at. Super dog friendly. Bartender was super attentive and let us change the basketball game on the TV. I'm only doing 4/5 stars because the the ambiance could be a bit better...it gives a dive bar atmosphere. Which is fine but for the price you're paying and the drinks you get it seems weird.

    This is a club savor place and new for us so decided to stop in and check it out. Bartender was super cool. Great beer selection and an ok pub food menu. We got some honey sriracha wings which were really good! Cooked perfect and just the right amount of heat. A real solid pub with great people.

    This place continues to reinvent itself. Not only has the name changed (formerly Sly Bar) but the look and feel of this cozy Kenwood watering hole has changed. They have a wide variety of beer on tap and by the bottle. From some nice high octane rich and meaty beers to lower price points (think PBR) - there seems to be something for everyone. Wednesday nights get busy as teams compete in trivia. They do a good job of having events and theme nights. With all that love, why not 5 stars? Because they lack seats. It's small. The sidewalk has been transformed into an extension of the bar: sidewalk tables barstools and a picnic table. Unfortunately, it's not a place to settle in for a long visit as seating is uncomfortable and limited. It is a fun neighborhood place to enjoy a drink.

    Absolutely love this place!!!! It's a must visit!

    A must visit! The margarita is a the best I've ever had. I realize this is a beer place, hence the name. However, the margarita was a wonderful surprise! I promise, you won't be disappointed! The inside is super fun and coast bikes right outside makes downtown minutes away. Owner, Amy, is amazing, personable and makes you feel very welcomed.

    Found this little gem while doing some Christmas shopping on Central. Great draft and bottle selection. Had some tortilla chips with both salsa and beer cheese....it was delicious. More importantly, bartender is extremely friendly and they have TV's; 5 front of the house and 1 back of the house, along with 2 dartboards. Wish this place was in South Tampa. Will definitely be back!

    Had a nice low key dinner at Taphouse tonight. Good service, beer, food, what more can you ask for.

    Had dinner here with my wife tonight at Taphouse and found it to be a very pleasant experience. It's a bar that serves food. Plain and simple. Limited menu, sure, but enough variety for the kind of night out where you don't care what you want to eat as long as it comes with a beer. I like the sort of indoor/outdoor feel to the place, but can imagine it might get muggy during the summer. I didn't care, but that was me. I got the open face steak sandwich and she got the Korean tacos. Both came pretty quickly and tasted good. I think they do trivia here on Wednesday nights, so check that out if it's your thing. Definitely recommend if you're in that area.

To drink - the "Osaka Mule" and the "Shiso Heavy". Both were good, though we recognized that the Osaka Mule had a slight edge on the Shiso Heavy. Neither of us are normally sake drinkers so this was nice and refreshing for us - the Osaka Mule had nice hints of cucumber and the wasabi salt on the rim was a huge hit with us. To eat - we ordered the gyoza and the miso udon. The gyoza was incredible - an explosion of flavor unlike anything else I've had in a long time. Truly unforgettable and honestly the best part of my entire weekend. The miso udon was good as well - my partner thought the udon might've been just slightly overcooked. We split both and then decided to order the gyudon as well afterwards. The gyudon was also very good - daikon radish was a great addition to the flavor! With respect to the atmosphere/ambience - it's a small place, but cozy. The music was nice - the bartender allowed me to browse some of the records. They have a great collection and I enjoyed listening to several of their selection! It was a little pricy for me, but ultimately, to be expected of such a great experience. Will return again!

No wastage from open wine or over pouring. I have never seen a setup so perfect for both the consumer and the seller. But what really knocked my socks off was the food! The Study only has a cold kitchen but managed to produce a fantastic mini meatball and warm bread spread for $14 and a Medium St Helena Coterie board $25 that really hit home. I drank two glasses of an Argentinian wine. Wing Man Gary (USAF pilot, retired) is on his pain meds so could not partake. I made sure to drink his share of wine as well!

Basically everything I could ask for from a lounge. Plus, the owner was kind, helpful, knowledgable and attentive. The wine tap is a fun time. You receive a card and use that to fill your glass (1oz, 3oz and 6oz pours -- 1oz are discounted during happy hour). There's such a diverse variety of wines (more than two dozen), you could get lost in all of the good options. Something for all palates. I tried the small Sonoma board (which was discounted for happy hour) and it was a good-sized, cheese-focused board with solid combinations. the meat and cheeses come with cornichons, olives, and crackers. the caramelized balsamic onion jam was incredible with the sweet blueberry goat cheese and the spicy salami. It's definitely enough for a quick bite to soak up all the delicious wine. Wines I tried, remember & recommend (you truly can't go wrong): - Passione Sangue di Giuda dell'Oltrepo Pavese - Chateau Pilet Bordeaux - Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay the decor is vibrant, rustic and cozy. so much wood. even more art! And lots of different styles of seating including booths, leather chairs, bar seating and small tables. accommodating for lots of group sizes! They offer happy hour Monday-Friday and trivia on Tuesdays at 7pm. All around a vibe! Definitely worth checking out.

They do not always have their own cider. Sometimes they partner with a local business. Staff is super friendly. Every time we've come in here bartenders are always more than happy to chitchat with you. Share stories of the beer how it was crafted and brewed and we find most of the people who are in here are also really friendly as well. Because it is located on one of the main drags in Saint Pete - parking can be a challenge. They do have parking behind the building. It is incredibly limited and sometimes especially towards the evenings, finding parking in the street can be hard as well. I had their dry Irish cider and really enjoyed it. It definitely is on the dry side, but it was good. I did try their strawberry dry cider. It wasn't bad but when I think of strawberry cider, I want to taste the strawberry and I found that it was just a little bit light for my pallet. My husband really enjoyed the Al Czervik. It's a nice, toasty Czech dark lager.

They have tons of outdoor space and play areas for your kids and your pets. they also have a large outdoor seating area that is covered. Their indoor seating is what is actually limited. One of the reasons we ended up back over here was because one of the bartenders that one of the other breweries had said if you're looking for good food and beer, you need to go to cage out of all of the breweries that we spend a lot of time in in the Saint Pete and treasure Island area. Cage has the largest man selection by far. They offer everything from pizza to wings to items for your dogs to enjoy. I chose the Panini with meatballs and it was really good and I really liked the anti pasta salad that it went with it. My husband got the wings with the garlic Parmesan sauce on the side. He said they were good. He just would've liked a little bit more in the order. The beer is also really good here. My husband chose their standard core, the octopus. It is similar with an amber, but not quite to the depth of it, but has a really nice finish. I chose their peanut butter Porter, which is by far one of the best, and when it comes to the flavor of peanut butter. It is my absolute favorite. Parking I imagine can be a challenge as we only saw a street parking in the area unsure if there is a parking lot that they have privately.
